v2.2.0

Added

• Knox Agent 2.2 product path. Sidebar Agent now uses the same loop safeguards as eval: oracle-hold after a red make / cargo test / npm test, auto-context on submit, a workspace card for Node/Python/Go/CMake (not only kernel/Cargo), and a Turn Context block (open files, git porcelain, diagnostics). Plan mode is a composer toggle (read-only explore until Execute plan). Composer Run in background and Knox: Background Agents: Start run runChatTurn in a seeded worktree (cap 2). Child subagent steps stream into the jobs panel.
• Live eval (manual). After Knox OAuth sign-in, cd extensions/knox && npm run test:live compares the loop vs GUI path on Node tasks plus mini-c and mini-rust. No KNOX_API_KEY. Nightly CI stays scripted.

Changed

• Default core tools with deferral include git status/diff. builtin_lsp is promoted on classified workspaces (node/python/go/cargo/editor/cmake) and systems, not on unknown trees. Composite tools stay off unless knoxchat.enableCompositeTools. Custom agents load from .knoxcoder/agents and ~/.knoxcoder/agents only. Recipes still off by default; sleep now runs the 200-recipe budget and purges old retired rows. Memory Brain FTS indexes overlapping CJK bigrams so Chinese queries match sqlite, not embeddings.

Fixed

• Agent file-edit tool calls recover more often. builtin_edit_file accepts search/replace, oldString/newString, old_str/new_str, and line-array values in edits[], and skips a truncated trailing entry instead of failing the whole call (edits[12] needs string old_string…). Omitting new_string deletes old_string instead of reporting a missing old_string. Matching now ignores markdown line wrapping, so a unique paragraph still applies when the model broke lines differently than the file. JSON arguments with raw newlines or unescaped quotes inside markdown still parse. builtin_apply_patch now matches hunks with indent drift, wrap drift, partial first/last lines, stale context (git-style fuzz), unique deleted-line fallbacks, and unified-diff ---/+++ wrappers, and lists closest lines when a hunk still misses.

Removed

• Empty-chat Try sample prompt chips in Knox Agent (truncated, unused starter tips).
