Apsara Agentic 0.1.0a1 — Private Alpha

Version: 0.1.0a1

  • Release date: 2026-08-10
  • Python package: apsara-agentic==0.1.0a1
  • Release tag: v0.1.0a1

Overview

This is the first private-alpha release of Apsara Agentic, a local,
workspace-scoped coding assistant. Running apsara opens the full-screen
terminal interface immediately with Big Pickle selected by default; no Apsara
account or separate Apsara chat service is required.

The release is intended for trusted developer friends, technical early
adopters, and small internal testing groups. It is not a production-stable
release.

Highlights

Consistent boxed terminal interface

  • full-screen transcript, right-side detail panel, and rounded input composer
  • matching boxed user and assistant responses
  • internal tool activity hidden by default and available with Ctrl+B or
    /details
  • clean response presentation without redundant completion or build lines
  • compact author timestamps and responsive terminal sizing
  • each bare apsara launch starts a fresh conversation; saved sessions resume
    only when explicitly requested

Strong coding-agent runtime

  • structured baseline, targeted, and full project verification
  • stale verification is invalidated after every subsequent workspace mutation
  • independent tool-free critic review request for multi-file changes
  • trusted lifecycle hooks at session, tool, verification, and completion
    boundaries
  • disposable Git-worktree verification with external-symlink protection
  • optional LSP-backed definitions and references for Python, TypeScript,
    JavaScript, Go, Rust, C, and C++
  • pinned real-repository benchmark support alongside bundled offline fixtures
  • bounded live benchmark trials with repeatable results.json and
    summary.json evidence
  • bounded retries for empty provider responses, which otherwise fail the turn
    instead of appearing as successful completion
  • per-request provider deadlines with one safe retry, preventing a stalled
    model call from consuming an entire turn

Safer local execution

  • workspace path boundaries for built-in file tools
  • recoverable edit and turn checkpoints with undo support
  • digest-based approval for plugins, MCP servers, verification commands, and
    lifecycle hooks
  • command allowlists, nested-interpreter validation, and redirection checks
  • --read-only, --dry-run, scoped --auto-approve, and process-group cleanup
  • privacy-safe bug bundles that omit content by default and redact recognizable
    credentials

Code intelligence and workflow

  • repository maps, symbol search, definitions, references, and diagnostics
  • Python AST support by default and optional Tree-sitter language support
  • Git status, diff, log, show, blame, and checkpoint tools
  • project memory, session history, context trimming, and usage reporting
  • optional MCP servers and locally approved tool plugins
  • model picker and BYO-provider-key setup inside the terminal

Packaging and compatibility

  • Python 3.10 through 3.14
  • tested wheel installation and pipx lifecycle
  • Linux and macOS test matrices plus Windows smoke coverage
  • offline doctor diagnostics and optional semantic-intelligence extra

Installation

pipx install https://github.com/RithyBondeth/Apsara-Agentic-Cli/releases/download/v0.1.0a1/apsara_agentic-0.1.0a1-py3-none-any.whl
apsara

For optional Tree-sitter parsers:

pipx inject apsara-agentic 'tree-sitter-language-pack>=1.0.0'

This private alpha is distributed as the wheel attached to its GitHub
prerelease. PyPI publication can follow separately without changing the tested
release artifact.

Release validation

  • full offline test suite across supported Python versions
  • wheel and source-distribution metadata validation
  • clean virtual-environment installation and dependency audit
  • pipx install, upgrade, execution, and uninstall lifecycle on Linux, macOS,
    and Windows
  • three live trials per bundled coding benchmark case with Big Pickle

The retained live benchmark evidence passed 15/15 trials (100%): zero flaky
trials, zero unstable cases, and zero unsafe edits. One layered trial exceeded
its soft token budget while still scoring 90/100 and passing every correctness
and safety gate.

Known alpha limitations

  • live model quality and latency depend on OpenCode Zen availability, the
    tester's API key, billing, and rate limits
  • OpenCode warns against sending confidential code to Big Pickle
  • isolated verification protects ordinary workspace state but is not an
    operating-system security sandbox
  • LSP tools require the corresponding language server to be installed
  • bundled benchmarks are intentionally small; larger pinned-repository cases
    still need to be curated
  • users should review proposed changes and keep Git backups

Rollback

Remove the alpha package with:

pipx uninstall apsara-agentic

If upgrading from another build, reinstall the exact alpha version:

pipx install --force https://github.com/RithyBondeth/Apsara-Agentic-Cli/releases/download/v0.1.0a1/apsara_agentic-0.1.0a1-py3-none-any.whl

Feedback areas

  • first-run key setup and startup clarity
  • boxed UI consistency and terminal resizing
  • response cleanliness and detail-panel usefulness
  • edit approval, verification, critic, and undo flows
  • provider latency, retry behavior, and actionable errors
  • benchmark tasks that pass tests but reduce maintainability
