RTerm v3.2.9 — AI-Native Terminal App by Hyperspace Technologies

v3.2.9 (2026-08-22)

Features — GyShell v1.7.0 parity (agent speed, remote control, reliability)

Ports the remaining GyShell v1.7.0 feature set. (Parallel tool execution,
captureStatus, reconcileToolCalls, reading frontier, shortDescription, and
session rename had already landed in v3.2.4–v3.2.8.)

  • New rterm CLI — a gyll-style command CLI for the backend's WebSocket
    JSON-RPC gateway. Zero dependencies (native WebSocket on Node ≥ 21, ws
    fallback). Commands: ping, version, methods, call, terminals,
    open, close, run, fleet, sessions, chat, dashboard, metrics.
    run/fleet drive the gateway's write + buffer-delta surface and settle on
    stable output. Verified live against a running backend (126 methods).
    Location: apps/cli/rterm-cli.mjs.

  • Per-model OpenAI-compatible request-body overrides (requestParams) —
    typed text/number/boolean/JSON overrides per model, with model-level winning
    over profile-level. Runtime-owned fields (model, messages, tools,
    tool_choice, stream, stream_options, apiKey, baseURL, n) are
    protected and silently dropped so a bad override can never break the agent
    loop. Wired into createChatModel for the global, action, thinking, and
    compaction models + the command-draft model. Files: model_config.ts
    (sanitizeRequestParams/resolveRequestParams), types/index.ts.

  • Agent Setting auto-save — while a profile is active, every settings
    change is written back into that profile automatically (no manual overwrite).
    Re-entrancy guarded: the write-back itself triggers a settings change, and
    the autoSaveInFlight flag stops that from looping. Files:
    AgentSettingProfileService.ts (autoSaveActiveProfile),
    startGyBackend.ts (listener wiring).

  • Agent-managed terminal tabs (close side) — new close_terminal_tab
    agent tool, the counterpart of open_terminal_tab. Guarded: refuses to close
    the last remaining tab and reports how many tabs remain. Registered as a
    single-call boundary tool (the visible tab list changes). Files:
    terminal_tools.ts, tools.ts, prompts.ts, AgentService_v2.ts.

  • Faster SSH→SSH file transfers — single-file copies between two Unix SSH
    hosts now stream directly between the machines (cat over the source's
    side-band exec channel → target's writeFileChunk) instead of relaying
    through the RTerm host. New execStream in SSHBackend returns stdout as an
    async iterable (no buffering); TerminalExecOptions.streamStdout opts in.
    Automatic fallback to the existing chunked relay when either side declines
    (non-Unix, no side-band exec, or any mid-stream error). Files:
    FileSystemService.ts (tryDirectSshToSshTransfer), SSHBackend.ts.

  • More predictable Skill discovery — the backend now scans only its managed
    Skills folder and ~/.agents/skills. Compatibility roots (~/.claude/skills,
    ~/.codex/skills, APPDATA/agents/skills, ~/.config/agents/skills) are
    opt-in via includeCompatibilityRoots or RTERM_SKILL_COMPAT_ROOTS=1.
    File: skills/scanRoots.ts.

  • Cleaner Seamless activity with accurate failure states — the Seamless
    tool-group banner now computes per-step severity (error for command exit ≠ 0,
    tool errors, error messages; warning for alerts/sub_tool warnings). The group
    header shows the worst state (Failed · N steps / Done with warnings · N steps), an ✕/! marker replaces the tree connector on failing steps, and
    error/warning counts appear in the meta. Files: ChatBanner.tsx,
    chatBanner.scss.

  • Chat selection stays put — creating or attaching a chat tab in another
    panel no longer changes the session selected in the current chat panel.
    moveTabBinding only syncs the global active tab when the move lands in the
    focused panel. File: LayoutStore.ts.

  • More stable Windows terminals — terminal writes are routed through a
    single serializedWrite helper and the refit path repaints the full viewport
    after resize, keeping cursor position and reflowed rows synchronized when
    continuous output and panel resizing overlap. File: XTermView.tsx.

  • Background SSH tabs stay monitorable — verified this GyShell behavior
    already holds in RTerm: an SSH tab created without a visible terminal panel
    stays layout-bindable, binds automatically when a terminal panel appears
    later, and the monitor panel follows the terminal kind (existing
    appStore.extreme.spec.ts cases cover both directions). No code change was
    needed; the earlier v3.2.x work already implemented it.

Tests

New v329Features.extreme.spec.ts (29 tests, all passing) covering
requestParams sanitization/precedence, scan-root restriction + opt-in +
dedupe, auto-save guard logic (no active profile, missing profile,
re-entrancy), close-tab last-tab guard, direct-transfer eligibility + empty
file + fallback + shell quoting, and Seamless severity computation
(error/warning/ok mapping + group dominance). Registered in
test:backend-unit-extreme.
