PiClaw v2.6.7 — "Falling Down"

A patch about context pressure, pruning, attachment previews, activity pills, and dependency hygiene: fewer invisible cliffs, fewer summaries pretending to be steering input, and fewer image previews disappearing because apparently even thumbnails now require adult supervision.

Features

  • Session activity status pills now surface active state in the web UI, because guessing whether a session is merely quiet or actively chewing through work is a game for casino floors, not operator consoles.

Fixes

  • Direct prompts now recover context-pressure handling correctly, so large prompts are less likely to discover the model’s context window by sprinting directly into the glass.
  • Context-prune summaries now stay non-steering, because summarising what happened and grabbing the wheel are different jobs, despite what every overenthusiastic assistant subsystem keeps trying to prove.
  • Attachment reference image previews are preserved in web posts, so images stop vanishing from the UI like they witnessed something in the database.
  • Post highlight and attachment coverage was tightened, because if a UI can display a thing in three different ways, it will eventually forget one and call that a feature.

Under the hood

  • Context-pressure retry handling was split into a focused runtime helper, which is a polite way of saying the old path had enough conditional furniture to qualify as a furnished rental.
  • Agent control, queue handling, runtime facade, slash command, context-prune, tracked-bash, post-rendering, and session activity tests were expanded around the pressure/prune/attachment/status fixes.
  • Message deletion and queue-reconnect E2E checks now wait for the thing they actually created instead of consulting a stopwatch and a prayer candle.
  • Earendil packages were bumped to 0.79.4, keeping the shared runtime stack current and ensuring tomorrow’s surprises at least arrive in newer packaging.
  • Classic web bundles were rebuilt for the patch, because the frontend continues to believe every release deserves a fresh archaeological layer.

Known issues

  • Context pressure is still context pressure; this release improves recovery, it does not repeal arithmetic.
  • Pruned summaries are now less steering-shaped, but any summary can still be bad if the source material was a bonfire with timestamps.
  • Provider context-window semantics remain provider semantics, which is to say a glossy brochure wrapped around a footgun.

Upgrade

  • Upgrade normally; no migration step is required.
  • If direct large prompts recover more gracefully, image previews stop doing their little escape act, and session state is less of a séance, that is intentional.
