Release FastCtx v0.2.6 · yc-duan/fastctx

FastCtx v0.2.6

Windows on ARM builds, tool schemas every provider accepts, and MCP sessions that survive a failing control center.

Upgrading: replacing the binary is enough. This release does not require fastctx apply.

glob no longer applies Git ignore rules. .gitignore, .git/info/exclude and your global Git ignore no longer remove files from a glob result, and .git is no longer excluded automatically. A model that asked where a file was could previously be told it did not exist, purely because Git ignored it. filter_mode is now ignore (default, honours plain .ignore files) or all; the old value project is still accepted and behaves as ignore. Exclude what you do not want with a negative pattern such as !target/**. grep and replace are unchanged.

Windows on ARM. FastCtx now ships an aarch64-pc-windows-msvc build with the same features as every other platform, on GitHub Releases and as @fastctx/win32-arm64.
glob can report size and modification time. Pass output_mode: "details" to get each match with its byte size and UTC modification time, instead of following a search with a separate directory listing.
One limit for a whole batch read. inspect_local_file accepts a top-level limit next to files; it applies to every entry that does not set its own, so a uniform cap no longer has to be repeated per entry.

A failing control center no longer ends your conversations. One host process runs many conversations that share a single control center, and Codex never restarts an MCP server it has lost — so one failure took every conversation of that user down at once, with no way back except starting over. A session now settles what it owes, swaps in another engine and continues; only the host ends a session.
Tool schemas are published in a portable subset. Schemas used $ref and composition, which some providers reject outright — and a rejected tool declaration fails the whole request, not one parameter. Every published schema is now a flat, single-type form.
Git Bash installed through Scoop is found. run reported that no Bash was available on machines where Scoop had installed one.
Background jobs no longer report a false startup failure on a busy machine. The supervisor's startup window was too narrow to survive load.
run says which local tasks it is for. Its description now leads with non-interactive CLI work — Git, build and test tools, package managers, database CLIs, project scripts — before the Bash execution details.
The search CPU limit setting states which event makes a new value take effect: it is read once when the control center starts, which now means after every Codex process has exited.
The pinned Pdfium archive is cached during builds instead of being downloaded once per build unit.
