v3.8.35

[3.8.35] — 2026-06-23

✨ New Features

• Adaptive context compression (Phase 4): a four-layer compression upgrade landed across stacked PRs — an Output Styles registry (terse-prose / less-code / terse-cjk) (#4694 — thanks @diegosouzapw), an opt-in SLM ultra tier (two-tier LLMLingua with heuristic fallback) (#4707 — thanks @diegosouzapw), a context-budget adaptive dial (reserve-output ladder + floor) (#4716 — thanks @diegosouzapw), and an offline evaluation harness (PII-gated corpus, self-test judge, gold-grader, real-pipeline runner behind a ModelClient seam) (#4720 — thanks @diegosouzapw). All four layers share a single CompressionRunTelemetry contract.
• Redoc-rendered API docs: a consolidated OpenAPI spec now lives at docs/openapi.yaml and is served as interactive Redoc documentation at /api/docs. (#4781 — thanks @KooshaPari / @diegosouzapw)

🔧 Bug Fixes

• db-backups: make the database-import size cap configurable via OMNIROUTE_DB_IMPORT_MAX_MB (default 100 MB, 4 GB ceiling) so backups larger than 100 MB can be restored; error message now points to the env var and to VACUUM (#4757 — closes #4719, thanks @diegosouzapw).
• Onboarding: add the missing onboarding.tiers step-title translation so the setup wizard no longer crashes with MISSING_MESSAGE: onboarding.tiers (#4755 — closes #4698, thanks @diegosouzapw).
• deepseek-web: fold role:"tool" results into the single-prompt transcript (messagesToPrompt) so tool outputs reach the model instead of being silently dropped when a follow-up turn omits the tools[] array (#4756 — closes #4712, thanks @diegosouzapw).
• Dashboard: remove the dead, unconditional useLiveRequests() call from HomePageClient.tsx — it crashed the /home page in production builds with ReferenceError: useLiveRequests is not defined (#4759, #4745) and opened the live-dashboard WebSocket even when Provider Topology was hidden (#4596). The live feed remains owned by the settings-gated HomeProviderTopologySection (#4761 — thanks @diegosouzapw).
• Providers dashboard: dedupe provider nodes by id when adding a compatible provider (upsertProviderNodeById) so the same provider can no longer appear twice and no-op adds don't invalidate the compatible-provider memo (#4768 — closes #4746, thanks @diegosouzapw).
• Storage VACUUM: the scheduled VACUUM job now follows the Storage page settings (scheduledVacuum / vacuumHour) as the single source of truth; the legacy env-flag control path was removed (#4726 — thanks @rdself).
• Tiers: no-auth providers are now counted as free, and the free-tier filter returns an empty set instead of falling through to every provider (#4753 — thanks @megamen32 / @diegosouzapw).
• Combos: auto-promote zeroLatencyOptimizationsEnabled so legacy configs (pre-3.8.33 fallbackCompressionMode="lite") round-trip cleanly on the first GUI edit (#4774 — thanks @KooshaPari / @diegosouzapw).

📝 Maintenance

• chatCore (#3501): continued the incremental decomposition of executeProviderRequest and the streaming/non-streaming hooks into pure leaf modules — top-level helpers + 6 pure leaves (#4571), resolveExecutorWithProxy + getExecutionCredentials (#4646), Claude message transforms (#4708), persistAttemptLogs (#4717), stageTrace + compressionUsageReceipt (#4721), prepareUpstreamBody (#4730), parse + non-streaming usage-stats (#4762), recordContextEditingTelemetryHook (#4779), scheduleQuotaShareConsumption (#4780), emitRequestGamificationEvent (#4776), runPluginOnResponseHook (#4782), scheduleStreamingQuotaShareConsumption (#4784), recordCompressionCacheStats (#4792), writeCavemanOutputAnalytics (#4794), recordStreamingUsageStats (#4791), and recordStreamingCost (#4790). (thanks @diegosouzapw)
• Quality: expand check:release-green to reproduce the full release-PR gate set locally (#4758 — thanks @diegosouzapw).
• db: re-export compressionRunTelemetry from localDb to satisfy the db-rules gate (#4775 — thanks @diegosouzapw).
• Security docs: add a canonical STRIDE-based threat model (#4783 — thanks @KooshaPari).
• Tests: add a smoke test for the home-client dashboard (#4793 — thanks @JxnLexn).
• Docs: credit ponytail and OmniCompress in the README inspiring-projects list and restore the check:env-doc-sync release-green by exempting the harness-only OMNIROUTE_EVAL_CREDENTIALS var (#4799 — thanks @diegosouzapw); declare the Phase 4 compression layers in the README + GUIDE (#4801 — thanks @diegosouzapw).
• Quality: trim combo-config.test.ts comments back under the file-size cap (follow-up to #4774) (#4800 — thanks @diegosouzapw).
