rpotato v0.51.0 - Grounded Conversation Continuity

Release date: 2026-07-28

This minor release keeps conversational memory, context usage, and verified web
evidence coherent across ordinary follow-ups and explicitly resumed sessions.
It replaces several last-request shortcuts with session-derived state while
keeping network access bounded and runtime-owned citations authoritative.

Included

• Calculates the idle TUI context indicator from preserved session dialogue
  instead of the latest isolated model run.
• Retains failed requests and visible runtime errors as bounded conversational
  context so a corrective follow-up does not lose the request that failed.
• Carries bounded prior dialogue into final web synthesis and persists verified
  grounding evidence for relevant follow-ups after /resume.
• Reuses prior web grounding only for referential or topic-overlapping requests;
  unrelated prompts remain local and cannot inherit stale evidence.
• Softly truncates oversized web evidence instead of failing the complete
  research request, while keeping runtime-issued source identifiers intact.
• Replaces uncited or unusable model summaries with concise runtime-grounded
  fallback answers and runtime-owned source links.
• Prevents context-dependent identity questions from being misclassified as
  questions about the agent itself.
• Splits session restoration, web routing, grounded answer binding, and request
  support into bounded owners protected by architecture regression tests.

Compatibility and boundaries

• Existing models, projectors, registries, sessions, web tools, and public
  commands remain compatible.
• Restored web evidence remains bounded and is reused only when the new request
  demonstrates a relevant relationship to it.
• GitHub Releases remains the only supported binary distribution channel.
