Communication and context
- Each run now owns an atomic coordinator for agent lifecycles, mailboxes, requests, and wakeups. Concurrent runs keep their coordination state separate.
- Added immediate
agents/ask and agents/spawn-ask: request results from one or more agents, continue working, then use agents/!wait or agents/!sleep. Multi-target requests collect one result per target. Replies identify their request, and unrelated messages can awaken a caller while its collections remain pending. See multi-agent communication.
- Enforced an ordering rule for communication waits to prevent coordinator-wait deadlock, assuming fair scheduling and eventual external progress. Refused waits raise recoverable errors so agents can handle outstanding requests. Added atomic capacity admission through
:coordinator {:max-edges 10000}.
- Added tracked terminal requests through
/ask, /requests, and /cancel. Users can collect results from several agents while continuing to exchange messages and answer clarification requests.
- Made message receipt explicit for raw
!llm-self calls: messages remain queued unless {:receive? true} is supplied. Convenience wrappers receive automatically. Added (receive completion) to accept messages into a completed program without evaluating it. Waits and wakeups retain the latest resumable context, and recovery preserves the failing call's receipt policy.
- Replaced the future-only
blocking/completion-promise helper with atomic blocking/request tokens. Requests from futures participate in the coordinator's dependency tracking.
- Unified tool, agent-message, and MCP result rendering under
:context-max-chars, defaulting to 10,000 characters per contribution. Oversized values remain complete in run-local storage and can be inspected in smaller pieces. Negative local display limits now use the run cap.
- Improved agent guidance for retaining continuations, checking which communication actions executed, recovering from refused waits, and answering outstanding requests before returning.
Models and providers
- Changed the CLI, OpenAI, and Codex model-profile defaults to GPT-6 Astra with medium reasoning. Added Astra aliases, model limits, and standard-tier cost tracking. Higher pricing above 272K input tokens is documented but not applied automatically.
- Fixed Codex streaming responses that deliver completed tool or message items before an empty final output list, while still rejecting failed or incomplete responses.
- Added opt-in Kimi K3 aliases and Fireworks pricing.
- Fixed retries for incomplete OpenAI Responses output when a response status is a string, preserving reported usage.
Documentation
- Added the VitePress documentation site, with guides, API reference, local search, and a production-build check. The README links to the documentation, and both landing pages introduce the communication model.
