[1.1.3] - 2025-11-08

Fixed

🐛 Critical Bug Fixes

• Auto-Continuation Not Working: Fixed critical bug where auto-continuation would show "🔄 Auto-continuing..." but then stop without actually continuing
  • Root cause: Continuation prompt was being generated but not added to the message history
  • Solution: Now properly adds continuation prompt to messages before recursive streaming
  • Impact: Auto-continuation now works correctly after exploratory commands (ls, pwd, etc.)

> Terminal Mode Improvements

• Live Command Output: Terminal mode now shows command output in real-time as it's generated
  • Changed from subprocess.run() with buffered output to subprocess.Popen() with streaming
  • Line-by-line output display for better user experience
  • Real-time progress indicators for long-running commands (npm install, pip install, etc.)

Technical Details

Changes to ai_engine.py

• Modified auto-continuation logic in _stream_with_live_tools():
  • Removed unused generate_continuation() call that was generating but discarding the prompt
  • Now directly calls build_continuation_prompt() to get the continuation message
  • Properly appends continuation prompt to messages list before recursive call
  • Ensures AI receives the continuation context to actually continue the task

Changes to cli.py

• Replaced subprocess.run() with subprocess.Popen() in terminal mode
• Added real-time stdout/stderr streaming with readline()
• Implemented line-buffered output (bufsize=1) for immediate display
• Added KeyboardInterrupt handler for Ctrl+C support
• Process termination with 2-second timeout and fallback to force kill
• Removed unnecessary directory changes (already handled by cwd parameter)

Impact

Auto-Continuation Before:

You: add different maps
AI: [Runs ls -la]
🔄 Auto-continuing...
You:  [Stops - no continuation, prompt returns]

Auto-Continuation After:

You: add different maps
AI: [Runs ls -la]
🔄 Auto-continuing...
AI: [Reads main.py file]
AI: [Creates new map files]
AI: [Updates code]
✅ Response Completed

Terminal Mode Before:

🖥️  You: npm install
[Wait 45 seconds with no output...]
[Finally shows all output at once]
added 1432 packages in 45s

Terminal Mode After:

>  You: npm install
added 1 package in 0.5s
added 5 packages in 1.2s
added 15 packages in 2.8s
added 50 packages in 8.1s
...
added 1432 packages in 45s
[Output streams line-by-line in real-time]

Added

• Session Loading by Index: Can now load sessions using index numbers from /session list instead of full session IDs
  • /session list now shows numbered indices: [1] session-id - title
  • /session load 1 loads the first session in the list
  • /session load <id> still works with full session IDs
  • Automatic detection: numeric input = index, alphanumeric = session ID

Changed

• Tool Display Improvements:

  • Removed all emojis from tool execution boxes (🔧, ✅, ❌, etc.)
  • Removed file content previews after tool execution
  • Moved diffs inside tool boxes instead of displaying them separately
  • Removed ANSI color codes from diffs (now plain + and - markers)
  • Tool boxes now show output previews directly:
    • Command output: First 10 lines
    • File reads: First 5 lines of content
    • File writes: Complete unified diff
  • Improved box border alignment with proper truncation for long lines

• Better Continuation Context: Tool results now include actual data for AI continuation

  • File operations include file path and modification status
  • File reads include content preview (first 500 chars)
  • Commands include full output
  • Fixes issue where AI would say "output was not relayed back to me"

Fixed

• Tool Box Border Alignment: Fixed misaligned borders when content lines were too long
  • Now properly truncates long lines with "..." suffix
  • Handles ANSI color codes correctly during truncation
  • All borders now align perfectly at 65 character width
