v0.48.0

v0.48.0

This release reduces pauses in large sessions and fixes turns that could get stuck on OpenCode, Pi and Oh My Pi. It adds a switch for smart notes, extends the stall profiler to Pi and Oh My Pi, and updates the dashboard and doctor. There is no database migration.

Upgrading

• No migration. context.db stays at schema 95. Restart OpenCode 1, OpenCode 2, Pi or Oh My Pi after updating.
• OpenCode 2 needs an explicit plugin update. Use /plugins and ctrl+u, or opencode plugin update; refreshing the plugin list does not install updates. Details.
• Rust transform mode: update ck-mc too, then restart the host and module.
• mural.model is deprecated and ignored, including experimental.mural.model. Use dreamer.<harness>.tasks.compress-cues.model, where <harness> is opencode, pi or omp. Details.
• Changing smart_notes.enabled requires a restart. Set it only in user config, not project config. The default remains true. Details.
• Dashboard changes require an updated dashboard build. The desktop app has its own releases.

New

• Smart notes can be disabled: smart_notes.enabled: false stops condition-based authoring and evaluation. Ordinary notes and already-ready notes remain available. Details.
• Pi and Oh My Pi: the optional host stall profiler records stalls while <storage>/host-profiler/enable exists; remove it to stop. Details.
• OpenCode 2: experimental transcript compaction reduces long-session delays without changing model requests. Off by default; launch with MC_OC2_INVISIBLE_FOLD=1 (#632, thanks @moynzzz). Details.
• magic-context doctor --verbose prints the full dangling-compartment listing. Ordinary output shows counts and up to ten examples.
• Dashboard: edit protected_tools as named rows with defaults and inline validation, instead of editing a JSON field.

Changed

• compress-cues inherits the current host's dreamer model by default, with an override in that host's task settings. The dashboard removes mural.model.
• Magic Context no longer refuses turns because another machine claims the checkout; the per-turn check is removed and MC-C16 is retired.

Performance

• OpenCode 1 and 2: less waiting while counting history and checking reasoning in large sessions, including the first turn after a restart.
• OpenCode 1 and 2: fewer UI stalls during ctx_search message-history searches and search-index updates.
• OpenCode 1 and 2: history counts remain available as new messages arrive, avoiding repeated warm-up delays in long sessions.
• Pi and Oh My Pi: faster turn preparation and old-reasoning cleanup in long sessions.

Dashboard

• Historian rows show the provider and fallback attempts, and errors appear as a red icon with details on hover instead of widening the table.
• Pi session pages show compartment dates. Session headers and background-model tabs are aligned more consistently.
• Model discovery uses a corner notification, so loading OpenCode models no longer moves the configuration page around.

Fixed

OpenCode 1

• Saving the last good request no longer freezes OpenCode on large tool metadata the model never sees (#653, thanks @maxbrunet).
• Startup fallback respects OPENCODE_DISABLE_PROJECT_CONFIG, instead of disabling Magic Context because of native-compaction settings in an ignored project config.

OpenCode 2

• Anthropic requests no longer contain empty text left by context cleanup, preventing repeated HTTP 400 errors; prompt-cache hints are preserved (#662, thanks @moynzzz).
• /ctx-* commands appear once in the command palette, and status, progress and completion feedback are restored (#661, thanks @JKratto).

Pi

• Other extensions' system-prompt sections reach the model, even when those extensions load after Magic Context (#648, #649, thanks @st0nie).
• Pi/Oh My Pi: conflicting @msg and @tool references no longer permanently block a session as “storage busy” (#650, thanks @bin115885).
• Pi/Oh My Pi: the historian can continue after early session entries go missing, provided saved history identifies the remaining messages.
• Pi/Oh My Pi: ctx_expand reports “no longer in history” for messages the host no longer retains.
• Pi/Oh My Pi: /ctx-wrapup no longer leaves a resolvable compaction marker waiting indefinitely (#652, marker anchoring only, thanks @acamq).
• Pi/Oh My Pi: auto-search skips system notices and steer messages, rather than treating them as new user requests.
• Node's SQLite experimental warning no longer repeats at startup or in child sessions; other warnings remain visible (#651, thanks @Zzz210s).
• Pi/Oh My Pi: configured background models are not reported disabled before discovery finishes, including during session or project changes (#656, #658, thanks @randomvariable).

Oh My Pi

• Compiled Oh My Pi: dreamer loads the host session API, and token counting finds plugin-installed dependencies (#655, #657, thanks @randomvariable).
• Old messages can still be removed after Oh My Pi compacts its transcript, preventing long sessions from exceeding the context window again.
• Delayed turn starts no longer cause false “missing managed context receipt” refusals, and advisor reviews can run (#663, thanks @Qiiks).

CLI and doctor

• Hosts without a Magic Context registration show INFO rather than FAIL; doctor --force does not install Magic Context there.
• Doctor ignores unused cached plugin copies when checking active installations, reports them as INFO and leaves them untouched.

Shared fixes

• OpenCode 1 and 2: historian scheduling recovers after history-index updates, instead of silently staying idle.
• Dreamer keeps checking a memory batch when one proposed edit duplicates another memory, instead of failing the batch, in TypeScript and Rust modes.
• Recovery from a busy database no longer fails when a fresh memory mural is needed on OpenCode, Pi or Oh My Pi.
• Closing a Bun SQLite connection releases its database locks, even after its statements have been garbage-collected.

Security

• Dashboard: TLS dependencies are updated to rustls 0.23.45 and rustls-webpki 0.103.15.
