v4.100.252

Agents

• No "you just changed this file" after an edit that was refused. When an
  edit was turned down (for example "Read before editing … The file was not
  modified") and the task had no checklist, the next message told the model it
  had just changed that file. It is now said only about an edit that went
  through.
• Copying repetitive data is no longer taken for a reasoning loop. A model
  asked to embed a sound read the file as base64 and copied it into its
  thinking; the file's own padding is one character hundreds of times, and
  the loop guard cut the turn. The guard now checks what the model was given:
  repetition that is already there, at least as long, is the model restating
  what it read. Once the model writes more of it than the source holds, the
  guard cuts as before. Replayed over 88,000 recorded thinking blocks, this
  removes the four wrong cuts found and changes no other.

Ollama and xOllama

• Reasoning effort and thinking budget are two settings. The thinking
  dropdown used to send its choice as the model's thinking level, which on the
  fork's server also capped the thinking. They are now separate:
  • Thinking budget is the existing dropdown, renamed. It is the cap,
    sent as think_budget: Minimal to Max as a share of the reply, or Custom
    as a token count.
  • Reasoning effort is new. It is the model's own thinking level, sent
    as think and passed to its template. It lists only the levels the
    selected model states (for example low / medium / xhigh on qwen3.8). It is
    hidden for models that are only on or off. It does not cap anything.
• Saved profiles keep working without a re-save. The budget is read from
  where the old dropdown stored it. A profile saved before this release has
  no reasoning effort and uses Default, so it sends think: true with the
  same budget as before. On a current xOllama or the fork's Ollama, that
  gives the same cap the profile had.
• On stock Ollama, pick gpt-oss's level again. Stock Ollama has no
  think_budget. There, the old dropdown's choice reached gpt-oss as its
  level. If you relied on that, choose the level under Reasoning effort; the
  budget dropdown does nothing on stock Ollama.

llama.cpp and opencoti

• The thinking budget no longer sets the model's level, and "High" no
  longer fails. On a llama.cpp server, Cerebriline also sent the budget's
  word as reasoning_effort. llama.cpp passes that to the model's chat
  template. On a template that lists only xhigh / medium / low, "High"
  failed every turn with a server error, and "Low" changed the model's level
  as well as the budget. The budget is now sent only as
  reasoning_budget_tokens.
• Reasoning effort, from the model's own template. The llama.cpp and
  opencoti panels have a Reasoning effort dropdown. It lists the levels the
  loaded model's chat template states, read from the server's /props, and
  is sent as reasoning_effort. It is hidden when the template names no
  level. opencoti honours it from c13.
• A server that does not answer is named as the reason. When the server's
  /props cannot be read, the panel now says the levels are not known yet,
  instead of leaving the Reasoning effort dropdown out with no reason. A
  level already chosen is kept, and is not flagged as unsupported until the
  template has actually been read.
• "Default" means no budget. With thinking on and the budget left at
  Default, the generic OpenAI-compatible provider used to send a Medium
  budget and reasoning_effort: medium. It now sends neither, as the panel
  already said.
• Servers that publish no chat template get no level. vLLM and hosted APIs
  behind the generic OpenAI-compatible provider have no /props, so the
  Reasoning effort dropdown is not shown there and no reasoning_effort is
  sent. Before, the budget word reached them as one.

Generation notices (opencoti and xOllama)

• New: Generation notices. opencoti and xOllama profiles have a
  Generation notices switch, off by default. When it is on and the server
  supports notices, the server writes one short line into the model's own
  output as the model nears the end of its thinking or answer room, so it can
  wrap up instead of being cut off. Each phase takes up to four steps, as a
  percent of its room. The default is 60, 70, 80 and 90.
• A message you send mid-run is announced. A message queued or steered
  while the model works makes the server plant a line saying one is waiting.
  The message's text is not sent with it.
• The line is hidden from the chat and kept everywhere else. It stays in
  the conversation sent back to the server: removing it would make the server
  re-read the answer from that point on every turn.
• Only the conversation's own turns ask for notices. Compaction
  summaries, titles, commit messages and calls made for another conversation
  never do.
• Servers without notices are not affected. The setting is ignored on a
  server that does not report the capability. opencoti plans notices for its
  c13 build; until a server reports them, nothing changes.
