0.10.2 — 2026-10-12
Release Notes
Long turns are no longer cut off after two hours, sessions with many images
keep working, and subagents keep their work through timeouts. Legacy MCP is
gone: MCP tools work the same way with progressive disclosure on or off.
Fixed
- Long turns were stopped at a fixed time limit (2 h foreground, 1 h
worker, 15 min autonomous), even while making progress. Turns now have no
time limit unless you set one; see Upgrade notes. (#191) - Sessions with more than 20 images failed every request with HTTP 400
until/compact. Native Anthropic requests now send a copy of any
PNG/JPEG over 2000 px per side scaled down to 2000 px, from the first
request; the saved original is unchanged. Past 100 images or 20 MiB of
attachments, the oldest images are replaced by a label in chunks of at
least 40, so the prompt cache is not rebuilt every turn. (#188, #206, #207) - Subagents lost their work on timeout, failure or reaping, and
subagent_resumestarted over. Each finished worker's conversation is now
saved under~/.synaps-cli/subagent-history/(kept 14 days), and
subagent_resumecontinues it, also for reaped handles or, with
archive_path, from an earlier session. (#202) - A
readafter abashin the same batch raced it and failed with "No
such file or directory". Calls after a side-effecting tool now wait for
it. (#202) - A long daemon turn could die at context rollover with "rollover requires
admitted builtin history retrieval tools". (#213) - Codex requests never hit the ChatGPT prompt cache. They now send the
session-id/thread-idheaders the backend uses. (#197) - ChatGPT
synaps logingot a 404 on the browser redirect; it now
completes from the browser. (#196) - A bash command that timed out, was canceled or hit the output cap left
its child processes running; the whole process group is now killed.
(#201) - Dead session cards and sockets piled up in
~/.synaps-cli/run/. Sessions
now remove their own, and dead owners' files are pruned at session and
daemon start. (#200) - Cost estimates were wrong for several models (e.g. Opus 4/4.1 at a third
of the price). Prices and cache-read multipliers now follow Anthropic's
pricing page. Displayed costs andmax_session_costchange. (#204) synapsattached to the daemon shows the boot logo again. (#189)context_window = autowas ignored and fell back to 200k; it now means
the model's default. (#210)
Added
- Prompt-cache keep-warm.
cache_keepwarm = off | auto | <N>h, or
/keepwarmper session. While a session is idle it re-reads the cached
prefix before it expires, only while that costs less than the rewrite it
prevents.autostops aftercache_keepwarm_auto_max_hours(default 24).
Spend shows in the footer (kw $…) and/stats. (#205) - New MCP servers are discovered at boot, so their tools appear without
a hand-seeded cache. The daemon does this after it is ready; a failing
server is retried after 1 h, backing off to 24 h.
SYNAPS_MCP_CACHE_WRITEBACK=0turns it off. (#195, #209) - In progressive mode the system prompt lists the tools the model can
activate. (#193) /settingscovers every user-facing config key, checked by the config
parser before it is written. (#210)
Changed
- Activating a tool no longer rewrites the Anthropic prompt cache. Tools
are sent deferred and activated by reference, so the tools list stays the
same.tools.deferred_loading = offturns this off. OpenAI, Codex and
models without tool search are unchanged. (#192) - Up to 16 subagents run at once (was 8). Limit errors name the config key
to raise, instead ofChildLimit. A subagenttimeoutof0now means
no limit. (#199, #202) /statsno longer shows a dollar figure for cache savings. (#204)- Clients wait up to 15 s (was 5 s) for an auto-started daemon. (#209)
- TUI: event cards take the theme's colours; ocean's user messages have a
visible background. (#189)
Upgrade notes
- Legacy MCP is removed. The model-facing
connect_mcp_servertool is
gone. MCP tools are always descriptor-backed: with progressive disclosure
they stay dormant until activated; without it they are in the core set
from the first request.--allow-legacy-mcpand
SYNAPS_DAEMON_ALLOW_LEGACY_MCPare accepted and ignored. (#195) synaps-enginecrate users:McpConnectTool,McpTool,
allow_legacy_mcp_envandlegacy_mcp_conflictare removed from the
public API,HostOptshas a newmcp_discoveryfield, and
TurnBudget::max_elapsedis now anOption. A caret dependency on 0.10
picks this up; pin=0.10.1to keep the old API. (#191, #195, #209)- Turns have no wall-clock limit by default. Set one with
turn_budget.<role>.max_elapsed_secs, or/budget time 4hin a session
(/budget time offclears it). Rounds, tool calls and tool-result bytes
still bound every turn. (#191) - systemd scopes: on Linux with a systemd user manager, the daemon and
each bash/powershell command and PTY shell get their own scope, so an OOM
kill of a runaway command no longer takes the daemon down too. Opt out
withprocess_scopes = offorSYNAPS_PROCESS_SCOPES=off. Without a user
manager (macOS, containers) processes start as before. The daemon moves
into its scope at its next fresh start, not on reload. (#201) - Keep-warm costs money when on. It is off by default, Anthropic-only,
and runs only for sessions a TUI or attach client has opened. (#205) - Subagent limits:
subagent.max_concurrent(16),subagent.max_total
(64),subagent.max_depth(4). (#199) - Sessions saved by 0.10.2 still open in 0.10.1: keep-warm totals live only
in the snapshot, never in the journal. (#205) - The daemon protocol is unchanged (v3). Run
synaps daemon reloadwith no
turn running to move a 0.10.1 daemon to the new binary; clients
reconnect on their own. Clients left open from 0.10.1 keep working;
restart them for the new TUI features.
Internal
- Request-trace telemetry sees mid-message cache markers. (#203)

openssl0.10.73 → 0.10.81. (#211)
