Cortex v1.7.1

Cortex v1.7.1

Cortex 1.7.1 adds completion feedback for managed bash background processes. Long-running commands started with bash spawn now return their final result to the agent instead of requiring manual polling.

Highlights

• Captures runtime invocation context when a managed bash process is spawned.
• Watches spawned bash processes until exit and drains stdout/stderr before emitting completion.
• Routes completion output through a daemon queue.
• Injects completion context into an active turn when the session can still accept input.
• Starts a background turn for the originating session when no active turn is available, allowing the agent to continue or notify subscribed clients.
• Updates workspace, SDK examples, generated scaffolds, and documentation to 1.7.1.

Operational Notes

• Background bash processes still have no default timeout. They complete when the command exits, the daemon exits, or they are stopped.
• Completion output is capped by the existing managed process output buffers and includes cursor/truncation metadata.
• The release archive contains the cortex binary at the archive root.

Verification

• ./scripts/build.sh
• docker compose run --rm dev cargo build --release --locked -p cortex-app
• ./target/release/cortex --version
