execai R6.49 — agent inside your editor

This release adds the IDE protocol that powers the ExecAI extension for VS Code and Cursor: the editor runs execai ide and talks to it over stdin/stdout, so the whole agent loop — tools, permissions, sources, memory, history — stays on your machine, in the CLI you already configured.

The extension

A sidebar chat with streaming answers, tool cards with live output, and the same five permission buttons you know from the TUI — Once / All of this tool in this task / This command in this task / FOREVER / Deny. Plus:

  • Attachments — files by button, right-click in the explorer, or Ctrl+V; images get thumbnails and are sent as vision blocks
  • Context — the active file and your selection travel with the message
  • History — chats are the same store as /resume in the terminal: start a chat in the editor, continue it in your shell
  • Model and source pickers right in the chat, showing the models of your current source
  • Changed files as clickable chips, stop button, status line with model · source

Install it from the marketplace of your editor (or grab the .vsix from the extension repo) — the extension can download this CLI for you on first run.

Also in this release

  • Background mode follows your local settings — execai serve uses your selected source, subscription, thinking budget and iteration limits instead of built-in defaults.
  • Fixes carried over from the 6.3x line: honest startup banner, permissions.json prompts that name the real scope of a decision, and no hardcoded internal hostname in the plan hint.
