Release Notes
Fixed
- An MCP tool whose schema escapes a character needlessly no longer fails
the turn. JSON Schema's regexes are the Unicode-mode dialect, where an
escape like \_ is an error; exa's agent_run declares
^agent\_run\_, and DeepSeek, which checks every pattern when the
schema names its $schema, refused every request that carried the tool.
iota now drops such backslashes when it lists a server's tools — the
pattern matches the same strings — and leaves the rest of the schema,
$schema included, as the server wrote it (X-57).
- A job's page no longer holds up the prompt while its log grows. The
/jobs page read the job's log on every refresh from the loop that draws
the screen; it now reads it off that loop, once a refresh, never more than
a fixed number of bytes, and for as long as the page is open — output from
a command the job left running in the background still shows (X-50).
- The host no longer shows iota idle while a job's end is still to be
taken. The host's state followed the count of running jobs, so when one
job ended as another started the count did not move: herdr, cmux or the
terminal's progress could show iota idle before it had taken the ended
job's notice, and a job that never started could keep it busy. Each end now
reaches the host as its own event, in the order the jobs changed (X-50).
