Changelog

This page documents the changes in each Pythinker Code CLI release.

0.5.1 (2026-08-03)

Other

• Point the README install commands at the canonical code.pythinker.com URLs and correct the npm install path's Node.js floor to 26.4.0.

0.5.0 (2026-08-03)

Bug Fixes

• Ship the native single-binary bundles that 0.4.0's release run failed to produce, including unsigned macOS bundles when signing credentials are unavailable.

Refactors

• Release pipeline hardening: idempotent npm publish, refreshed Nix dependency hash, monorepo dependency-version sync, strict pre-push quality gates, and Dependabot configuration.

0.4.0 (2026-08-03)

Features

• Shift-Tab now cycles the thinking effort for the current model, and the prompt-box border tints with a per-effort color gradient; plan mode moves to the /plan command.

Bug Fixes

• Continue goal pursuit when a goal turn hits the per-turn step limit instead of stalling.
• Count validation-rejected tool calls toward the repeat circuit breaker so the model cannot re-issue the same invalid call indefinitely.
• Fail fast on quota-exhausted 429 responses instead of retrying until the retry budget is spent.
• Restore the real Kimi coding-plan model ids in the ACP thinking-toggle list.

Other

• The provider base URL is now required configuration: there is no default hosted endpoint, so point the CLI at your own OpenAI-compatible backend.
• Dependency security updates.

0.3.0 (2026-08-03)

Features

• Add the /update slash command (alias /upgrade): it checks the CDN for a newer version and installs it in the background, falling back to a copyable command for installs that cannot self-update (e.g. Homebrew). pythinker doctor now reports whether auto-update is on, off via tui.toml [upgrade].auto_install, or disabled by PYTHINKER_CODE_NO_AUTO_UPDATE.

0.2.0 (2026-08-03)

Features

• Add persistent named agent teams with background teammate spawning, shared task scopes, direct and broadcast messaging, assignment delivery, shutdown coordination, and native terminal identities.
• Add project, user, and namespaced plugin subagent profiles with per-profile turn limits and persistent memory, context-fork workers, per-agent model and working-directory overrides, and Git worktree isolation with native terminal status.
• Add catalog-backed provider connections with interactive or environment-referenced credentials, live model discovery, provider-aware model selection, and model-specific thinking controls.
• Add persisted file checkpoints with preview and recovery-backed code or conversation rewind through the SDK, CLI, and TUI.
• Add configurable Global and Chat TUI keybindings with unbinding, two-key chords, reserved shortcuts, dynamic help labels, template creation, and editor-backed reload.
• Add validated session and persistent workspace directories with SDK, CLI, and TUI management.
• Add Anthropic Claude Code marketplace browsing and installation with searchable source selection and install-definition support.
• Add provider-native Fast mode controls for supported OpenAI and Anthropic models.
• Add an agent-callable Config tool for approved, validated reads and writes of supported Pythinker settings.
• Expose the precedence-resolved agent profile catalog through the SDK and a searchable TUI command.
• Expose the model-visible context breakdown through the SDK and a /context TUI report.
• Expose files loaded by Read through the SDK and a /files TUI command.
• Show Dynamic Workflow in a coral-framed mission-control panel with live per-agent progress, and let workflow agents run without an automatic timeout.

Polish

• Preserve full truncated Bash output on disk, interpret informational exit codes, and expand destructive-command warnings in the terminal approval flow.
• Add clearer TUI startup status, effort heat, Dynamic Workflow progress colors, and a brighter dark-theme primary.
