🎉 Basic Agent Chat Loop v1.6.0 - Stable Release

This is a stable production release bringing project-local session management and improved UX.

🎯 Breaking Changes

Session Storage Now Project-Local

  • Sessions now save to ./.chat-sessions/ in current directory instead of global ~/agent-conversations/
  • Provides better context separation between different projects
  • Old sessions remain accessible in ~/agent-conversations/ but new sessions use project-local storage
  • Configuration option paths.save_location has been removed

Migration Notes: If you have existing sessions in ~/agent-conversations/, they remain accessible but new sessions will be saved to ./.chat-sessions/ in your project directory. To access old sessions, you can either:

  1. Manually move them to ./.chat-sessions/ in relevant projects
  2. Keep them in the old location for reference (they won't be deleted)

✨ New Features

Improved #resume Command UX

  • #resume without arguments now displays available sessions instead of showing an error
  • Reduces friction - no need to run #sessions separately first
  • Shows helpful usage message after session list

Context Monitoring (from beta.7)

  • New #context command shows token usage and session statistics
  • Status bar shows context usage percentage
  • Configurable warning thresholds via context.warning_thresholds in config
  • Auto-suggest #compact command when approaching context limits

🛠️ Improvements

Config Wizard Updates

  • Updated help text to reference new ./.chat-sessions location
  • Removed save_location prompts from wizard flow
  • All documentation updated to reflect project-local session storage

Token Tracking (from beta.7)

  • Fixed AWS Strands token counting accuracy
  • Proper handling of streaming response token counts
  • Better aggregate token statistics
