v0.1.4

v0.1.4 — 2026-08-01

Performance

• Fixed slow session loading in /sessions and on resume.

Bug Fixes

• Approved commands now execute correctly when /yolo is off (no longer reported as failed).
• Scroll wheel now scrolls chat history instead of prompt history.
• Direct ! shell commands now go through the permission system.
• Fixed multi-line diff calculation.
• Fixed provider resolution incorrectly consuming the compaction cooldown.
• Repeated tool-call detection now canonicalizes equivalent JSON inputs.
• Undo snapshots are taken once per model tool-call turn instead of once per mutating call.
• Snapshot comparisons no longer stage worktree files in the shadow index, and restores remove files absent from the target snapshot.
• Linux process-count limits now use architecture-specific RLIMIT_NPROC values.
• Bubblewrap no longer exposes the entire home directory; only selected toolchain cache directories are mounted read-only.

UI / Icons

• Removed the graphical “rick” PNG icon and all related terminal graphics code.
• Pixelated icon is now the single default.

UX

• Tab autocomplete for slash commands (type /s, Tab to complete).
• Added direct /theme <name> support.
• Mouse tracking stays enabled in chat view.
• Blocked prompt submission while compaction is running.

Token & Output Efficiency

• Split system prompt into stable (cacheable) and volatile parts; Anthropic cache markers applied.
  • Cacheable prefix ≈ 84–184 tokens depending on agent.
• Shortened prompts and tool descriptions (~143 + ~175 tokens saved).
• Compact line numbers (1|line instead of padded) — noticeable savings on large files.
• ~15 KiB output caps on Git, tree, diagnostics, and test commands.
• Compaction cooldown, no overlapping runs, and ignore stale results.

Session / Resume

• Store a truncated last-prompt preview in lightweight session metadata (used for search/filter, no full transcript load).

Web Providers

• Added /webproviders with /webprovider and /web aliases for interactive web-search configuration.
• Added routing, result limits, search budgets, parallel execution, domain filters, and provider enable/disable controls.
• Added configuration for DuckDuckGo, Ollama, Exa, and Tavily, including provider-specific endpoints and search options.
• Added persistence to global rick.json with immediate refresh of the active web-search tool.
• Added redacted API-key editing: blank keeps the current key, while - clears it.

Web Search

• Added configurable multi-provider web search with DuckDuckGo Lite HTML and Instant Answer JSON, Ollama Web Search, Exa, Tavily, Bing, Brave, and SearXNG support.
• Independent providers can run in parallel; results are normalized, deduplicated across sources, merged, and deterministically ranked using provider contributions and source rank.
• Added provider-specific configuration, domain filters, safe-search/region/time-range options, bounded concurrency, request variants in cache keys, captured fixtures, and parser/request/merge/ranking tests.

Backlog (from results-30-07-2026)

• Sandbox-aware approval gating: couple sandbox confinement to approval so writes inside the workspace-write fence are auto-approved (no prompt), while outside-fence writes still prompt. See results/sandbox-approval-gating-prompt.md.
