0.8.29

Added

• Added support for local -e <dir> extension sources to borrow project-local Atomic resources from <dir>/.atomic, legacy <dir>/.pi, and <dir>/.agents/skills after resolving trust for that extension source, preserving package-manager provenance and explicit-path workflow forwarding while avoiding untrusted borrowed resources (#1354).
• Added a prototype Rust/N-API Cursor HTTP/2 native transport binding through the generated @bastani/atomic-natives NAPI-RS package, so Atomic can use an in-process native HTTP/2 client without requiring Node.js on PATH.
• Added the experimental bundled @bastani/cursor provider scaffold so /login can offer Cursor OAuth, estimated fallback exposes cursor/composer-2, and Cursor model mapping/streaming hooks are available behind an isolated HTTP/2 Connect transport boundary with production-default protobuf decoding, buffered Connect frames, write-before-headers Run streaming, stable Cursor conversation ids, schema-correct Cursor MCP tool advertisement, Cursor MCP tool-call decoding with protobuf Value or raw UTF-8/JSON arguments and exec-id metadata, same-stream MCP tool-result resume, abort/idle cleanup for paused tool streams, Connect end-stream error classification, exact live model id fidelity without static default injection, fast/thinking catalog grouping, and usage-delta accumulation.
• Added the opt-in createStructuredOutputTool({ schema, capture, output, name }) factory for terminating machine-readable final answers with direct schema-as-parameters capture, flat details, in-process capture, configurable private file capture via output.outputPath, and the concise two-line structured_output prompt guidance from pi-dynamic-workflows without registering structured_output in normal agent sessions by default (#1350).

Changed

• Changed the bundled builtin ralph workflow to run /skill:prompt-engineer prompt-engineering and /skill:research-codebase research before orchestration instead of starting with an RFC/planner stage, pass the research artifact as primary implementation context, reuse prior research session data on follow-up loops, and feed unresolved reviewer findings into later research passes (#1371).
• Changed bundled goal, ralph, and open-claude-design decision gates to use schema-backed workflow structured_output stages instead of registering bespoke terminating custom tools.
• Changed bundled goal worker/reviewer prompts and ralph orchestrator/reviewer prompts to request end-to-end verification when practical, using browser-skilled subagents for web/frontend flows that may depend on backend/API behavior and tmux-skilled subagents for TUI or terminal-app scenarios.
• Bumped the bundled upstream pi runtime libraries @earendil-works/pi-agent-core, @earendil-works/pi-ai, and @earendil-works/pi-tui from ^0.79.1 to ^0.79.3, bringing the latest upstream provider, model, agent-core, and TUI compatibility fixes into @bastani/atomic.
• Updated the structured-output extension example and SDK/workflow/extension docs to use the canonical factory instead of hand-rolled terminate: true wrappers, and documented that Atomic passes the supplied schema directly to the tool without additional structured-output parsing, object-root restrictions, or sidecar validation (#1350).
• Made custom-named factory tools advertise the configured name in concise prompt metadata, and documented that text print mode recognizes factory-created custom structured-output tools without treating every terminating tool as printable (#1350).
• Changed factory-created structured-output tool descriptions and prompt guidance to use context-neutral final-result wording for SDK, extension, workflow, and subagent registrations (#1350).
• Clarified SDK, extension, and workflow guidance that structured-output tools are opt-in custom tools, with workflow stages/tasks/chains/parallel items receiving structured_output only when they declare a schema and subagent children receiving it only when outputSchema is enabled (#1350).

Fixed

• Fixed the root @bastani/atomic package export to include a default condition alongside the ESM import target, improving compatibility with loaders that select default export conditions.
• Fixed extension custom UI focus deferral so full-screen overlays can keep keyboard focus while a parent/main-chat inline custom UI is pending, then focus that pending UI when the overlay is hidden; already-aborted custom UI calls no longer invoke factories or emit host custom-UI state changes (#1353).
• Fixed text print mode to emit trailing terminating JSON from factory-created structured-output tools, including custom tool names such as final_decision, instead of only recognizing the canonical structured_output name; the same structured value remains available through details, capture sinks, and workflow/subagent structured result fields (#1350).
• Fixed terminating structured_output results to opt out of oversized-result persistence (#1350).
• Fixed cross-process structured-output file capture to preserve flat tool arguments in output.json without sidecar metadata or transcript-finality parsing (#1350).
• Fixed bundled subagent handling so explicit empty tools: [] plus outputSchema grants only the schema-backed structured_output runtime tool instead of restoring default tools (#1350).
• Fixed prerelease publishing for native Atomic artifacts by allowing the @bastani/atomic-natives package metadata in release-preparation verification, running native artifact builds on architecture-matched Blacksmith and macOS runners, and documenting the two-package publish flow while keeping npm provenance publishing on GitHub-hosted Ubuntu.
• Fixed the bundled experimental Cursor provider to honor per-request stream deadlines across open/read/resume writes, reset timed-out or aborted streams, clean up replaced paused turns safely, catch cleanup cancellation failures, tolerate non-MCP Cursor exec protocol messages without ending assistant turns, and align Run requests with Cursor's private CLI protocol by using blob/KV conversation state plus request-context tool-definition responses without the unsupported custom system-prompt field (#1286).
• Fixed release archive startup for the bundled experimental Cursor provider by declaring @bufbuild/protobuf as an @bastani/atomic runtime dependency, covering Cursor in the bundled-package dependency metadata guard, and smoke-checking Cursor/protobuf assets in native archives (#1286).
• Fixed bundled ralph skill-prompt stages to invoke bundled skills through /skill:<name> expansion so prompt engineering and research stages receive the intended skill instructions.
• Fixed concurrent bundled workflow stage resource reloads to serialize temporary subagent child environment isolation so parallel stage startup cannot leave parent process child flags accidentally cleared.
• Fixed bundled workflow stage sessions to keep workflow package skills (create-spec, impeccable, prompt-engineer, research-codebase, and skill-creator) available while disabling only the recursive workflows extension in child sessions.
• Fixed bundled workflow stage resource discovery so bundled subagent definitions stay available, subagent is active by default with the same two-hop nesting budget as main chat, and explicitly allowlisted bundled extension tools such as subagent, web_search, fetch_content, and intercom remain visible even when a workflow is launched from a subagent child process.

Security

• Kept Cursor credentials OAuth-only with token/header and PKCE poll-secret redaction and no localhost proxy, while moving Cursor HTTP/2 to a bundled Rust/N-API native binding and no longer sending the current working directory as previousWorkspaceUris by default.
