- V4 cache-hit input prices cut to 1/10th per DeepSeek pricing update:
Pro promo 0.03625→0.003625, Pro base 0.145→0.0145, Flash 0.028→0.0028
- Remove the 'light' theme variant (Variant::Light, Theme::light(), test)
- Remove the theme setting entirely — hardcode UI_THEME to whale/dark,
drop the theme field from Settings, ConfigView, and config command
- Bump workspace version 0.6.0 → 0.6.1 (Cargo.toml, npm pkg, CHANGELOG)
- De-cringe the README: drop emojis, marketing fluff, unverified claims
Split client.rs into client/mod.rs (public API + helpers), client/chat.rs
(chat-completions streaming), and client/responses.rs (responses API
helpers). Internal helpers promoted to pub(super) for intra-module
visibility; the public DeepSeekClient API is unchanged.
While here, redesign all five system prompts around decomposition-first
philosophy inspired by the mismanaged-geniuses hypothesis (Zhang et al.,
2026). The model is now instructed to todo_write / update_plan before
acting, fan out sub-agents for parallel work, and keep the sidebar
populated so the user always sees what's happening. Mode prompts updated:
- agent.txt: 'Before requesting approval, lay out work with todo_write'
- plan.txt: 'Use update_plan for strategy, todo_write for tactics'
- yolo.txt: 'Even with auto-approval, create a todo_write first'
- normal.txt: same pattern for legacy compatibility
Update CHANGELOG [Unreleased] and README modes section accordingly.
The engine used to fire `Event::ToolCallStarted` from `ContentBlockStart::ToolUse`
with `input: json!({})` — before any `Delta::InputJsonDelta` had streamed in.
The UI's `handle_tool_call_started` baked the placeholder into the cell at
creation time and never refreshed, so users saw `<command>` and `<file>`
literals while the args finished streaming.
Fix relocates the emission to `ContentBlockStop` (where the input is finalized
already) and routes it through a new `final_tool_input(state)` helper that
prefers the parsed buffer over a stale empty initial input. Three regression
tests in `engine/tests.rs` pin the contract.
Also bundled (same theme — make in-flight tool cells read right):
- Progressive labels via `exploring_label`: "Read foo.rs" → "Reading foo.rs",
"List X" → "Listing X", "Search pattern" → "Searching for `pattern`",
"List files" → "Listing files". 5 tests in `ui/tests.rs`.
- `running_status_label_with_elapsed` in `history.rs`: from 3 s onward the
status segment becomes `running (Ns)` and ticks every second, driven by
the existing CX#3 status-animation tick. Below 3 s no badge — quick
reads/greps stay quiet. Wired through `render_tool_header`. 2 tests.
- Spinner cadence sped up: `TOOL_STATUS_SYMBOL_MS` 1800 → 720 ms per glyph,
so the 4-glyph "heartbeat" is ~2.88 s instead of ~7.2 s.
929 → 939 tests, 0 failures.

Adds a structured rlm_query tool for parallel/batched LLM fan-out.
The model calls it with one prompt or up to 16 concurrent prompts;
children dispatch via tokio::join_all against the existing DeepSeek
client. Default child model is deepseek-v4-flash; override per-call
via the model field. Available in Plan / Agent / YOLO. Cost folds
into the session's running total automatically.
Fixes scroll-stuck regression (#56): TranscriptScroll::resolve_top
and scrolled_by now use a three-level fallback chain (same line →
same cell line 0 → nearest cell at-or-before) instead of teleporting
to ToBottom when an anchor cell vanishes.
Loosens command-safety chains (#57): cargo build && cargo test and
similar chains of known-safe commands now escalate to RequiresApproval
instead of being hard-blocked as Dangerous. Chains containing unknown
commands still block.
Suppresses the GettingCrowded footer chip — context-percent header
already covers conversation pressure.
Refactors:
- Extracts file_mention parsing/completion/expansion (~450 LOC) from
the 5,500-line ui.rs into crates/tui/src/tui/file_mention.rs.
- Deletes truly unused helpers (write_bytes, timestamped_filename,
extension_from_url, output_path, has_project_doc, primary_doc_path).
Tests: 853 pass. cargo clippy --workspace -D warnings clean.
cargo fmt --all -- --check clean.
Closes#46#47#48#49#50#53#54#55#56#57#58.
Single-feature release that lands #39 (the /model two-pane picker)
on top of the v0.5.1 quality-of-life batch. Bumps workspace +
npm wrapper + Cargo.lock in lockstep; check-versions.sh verifies.
Closes#39.

Bumps workspace version to 0.5.1 and finalises the changelog with the
issues that landed since v0.5.0:
* #25, #27, #31, #33, #34 (already on main)
* #28 @file Tab-completion
* #29 per-workspace trust list with /trust slash command
* #30 reasoning-replay token chip in the footer
* #36 regression tests for sidebar gutter bleed
scripts/release/check-versions.sh is green: workspace=0.5.1, npm=0.5.1,
Cargo.lock in sync.

- README: drop the `cargo install deepseek-tui` / `deepseek-tui-cli`
block and the crates.io badge — those packages have been lagging the
workspace version for several releases. Source install (`cargo install
--path crates/tui`) remains documented for hackers.
- README: add a "What's new in v0.5.0" section pointing at the
thinking-mode tool-call 400 fix and the #25 web.run cleanup.
- CHANGELOG: add the [0.5.0] - 2026-04-25 entry covering the per-message
reasoning_content rule, the wire-payload sanitizer, and #25.
### Fixed
- DeepSeek thinking-mode tool-call rounds now always replay reasoning_content
in all subsequent requests (including across new user turns), matching the
documented API contract that assistant tool-call messages must retain their
reasoning content forever. Previously, reasoning_content was cleared after
the current user turn completed, which could cause HTTP 400 errors.
- Missing reasoning_content on a tool-call assistant message now substitutes
a safe placeholder ("(reasoning omitted)") instead of dropping the tool
calls and their matching tool results, preventing orphaned conversation
chains and API 400 rejections.
- Session checkpoint now persists a Thinking-block placeholder for tool-call
turns that produced no streamed reasoning text, keeping on-disk sessions
structurally correct for subsequent requests.
- Token estimation for compaction now counts thinking tokens across ALL
tool-call rounds (not just the current user turn), aligning with the
updated reasoning_content replay rule.
### Changed
- Internal crate dependency pins bumped 0.4.5 → 0.4.9 to match workspace.
- npm wrapper version and deepseekBinaryVersion bumped to 0.4.9.
- README fully rewritten: clearer feature highlights, V4 model focus,
keyboard shortcut table, improved docs index, and more engaging layout.
- CHANGELOG entry for 0.4.9 with comparison URLs.
Adds first-class DeepSeek V4 Pro and Flash support, updates the default model to deepseek-v4-pro, aligns legacy aliases with the current V4 1M context behavior, and fixes thinking-mode request handling.
Key fixes:
- Send DeepSeek's raw Chat Completions `thinking` parameter at the top level instead of SDK-only `extra_body`.
- Preserve assistant `reasoning_content` for all prior thinking-mode tool-call turns so subsequent requests satisfy DeepSeek V4's replay requirement.
- Fix npm wrapper concurrent first-run downloads by using per-process temporary download paths.
- Add `.mailmap` so historical bot-attributed commits aggregate under Hunter Bown where mailmap is honored.
Verified with the full local Rust gate, live DeepSeek V4 smoke, npm wrapper temp-install smoke, and green PR CI across Linux, macOS, and Windows.
