Changelog

Fixed

• console_log_target package default is now stderr (was stdout). Logs now stay off the data channel by default, matching the intent of PR feature/JSONContent #452 ("default to stderr for outputs happening before initialization"). Downstream tooling that parses pipelex / pipelex-agent stdout as JSON (e.g. mthds-js's PipelexRunner) is no longer at risk of stdout pollution from package-level logs — the bug was latent for stock installs because the agent-CLI JSON paths happen not to log at INFO+, but surfaced for anyone who raised package_log_levels.pipelex to DEBUG or added a setup-time log on the command path. The same flip is applied to the kit template (pipelex/kit/configs/pipelex.toml) that pipelex init copies to ~/.pipelex/. Note: console_print_target is intentionally left at stdout — the main pipelex CLI emits human-facing tables (show backends, show models, which, doctor) via that channel, and downstream piping (pipelex show backends > out.txt) must keep working.

• pipelex-agent now pins both console targets to stderr regardless of user config. make_pipelex_for_agent_cli injects config_overrides into Pipelex.make() that force console_log_target = "stderr" and console_print_target = "stderr" from the very first log/print fired during init, so a user override of either knob in ~/.pipelex/pipelex.toml can no longer leak diagnostics onto the agent CLI's JSON data channel. Defense-in-depth post-init calls to log.redirect_to_stderr() and get_pipelex_hub().set_console_print_target(STDERR) remain. A new adversarial E2E test (tests/e2e/agent_cli/test_stdout_is_clean_json.py::test_models_json_stdout_resists_user_targets_override_to_stdout) pins the contract by overriding both targets to stdout and package_log_levels.pipelex to DEBUG and asserting json.loads(stdout) still parses.

Summary by cubic

Release v0.30.0 hardens pipelex-agent so stdout stays clean JSON and flips package log defaults to stderr. The human pipelex CLI keeps tables on stdout for redirects.

• Bug Fixes
  • Defaults: console_log_target now stderr in package and kit; console_print_target stays stdout.
  • Agent CLI: forces both console targets to stderr from the first init step and applies output discipline so JSON on stdout remains parseable even under user overrides.
  • Doctor:
    • Runs filesystem checks before bootstrap; respects --global by scoping model/backend paths to the provided config dir.
    • Preserves partial results on config errors; adds checks.models.skipped and renders a warning icon.
    • Human doctor now catches PipelexConfigError from bootstrap and shows the translated message under “Models” instead of a generic error.
    • Agent doctor invokes output discipline before check_models to prevent early log leakage to stdout.
  • Config/logging robustness:
    • ConfigLoader.load_config and PipelexHub.setup_config accept a config_dir; PipelexHub.get_optional_config added.
    • log.configure_if_unset guards against double init; report_validation_error works without pre-initialized config/logging.
    • ModelManager.setup accepts explicit path overrides; deep_update merges any Mapping.
  • Tests: new E2E to assert clean JSON stdout; unit tests for discipline side effects, doctor behavior, validation reporting, log defaults, and idempotent logging.
  • Badges: tests badge count updated.
  • Version bump to 0.30.0; changelog updated.
