The general-purpose sub-agent intro tells the agent how to plan, but says
nothing about when to *stop*. With less capable models this leads to a
failure mode where the agent retries the same failing tool call (e.g. an
unreachable or rate-limited external API) over and over until it hits the
elapsed/step ceiling, wasting the whole budget and returning nothing useful.
Add two short clauses to GENERAL_AGENT_INTRO:
- Stop quickly on failure: after the same call fails twice, return partial
results with a one-line note instead of looping.
- Bounded effort: prefer one focused attempt; if the task can't be completed
within a few tool calls, return current findings so the parent can compensate.
Prompt-only change; no behavioral code paths touched.
Keep the /statusline picker selection visible when navigating through all
available footer items in smaller terminal windows.
The picker now scrolls its visible rows as the cursor moves, wraps Up/Down at
the list edges, and renders the selected row with a continuous, slightly
brighter background.
The right-click context menu rendered all entries in English regardless of ui_locale. Added 26 MessageId variants with translations for en, ja, zh-Hans, zh-Hant, pt-BR, es-419. ContextMenuView now accepts a localized title. build_context_menu_entries() uses app.tr() instead of hardcoded strings.
Treat inputs like `/ hello` as plain user messages instead of slash commands.
This lets users start a message with a literal slash while preserving normal
slash command behavior for `/help`, `/model ...`, and other commands.
Run the stdio MCP server inside a blocking section when launched from the async CLI entrypoint.
This prevents Tokio from panicking when the MCP server's internal runtime is dropped after stdin closes.
Replace the incorrect CodeWhale backend example in /provider help text with DeepSeek.
CodeWhale is the app name, while deepseek is the actual provider id accepted by /provider.
Add a regression test for shipped locale descriptions.
Make the /provider modal size itself to the provider list when space allows,
and scroll the rendered list when the selected provider moves past the visible
rows.
Also make the selected row use a continuous, subtle highlight so the current
selection remains visible without looking disconnected.
Adds regression coverage for bottom providers, initial bottom selection, full
height rendering, and selected-row highlighting.
Add /new to start a fresh saved session from the TUI without overloading /clear.
The command creates a distinct session id, resets conversation state, and keeps
previous sessions available through /resume.
Block unsafe switches when pending input or active work exists, with /new --force
available for explicit discard.
PR #2076 deferred planning/checklist tools (checklist_write, update_plan,
task_create, task_list, task_read) to reduce catalog tokens, but the system
prompt actively instructs the model to use these tools. Without them in the
active catalog, the model cannot call them until it first discovers them via
tool_search, which it is not prompted to do for planning tools.
Keep these tools in DEFAULT_ACTIVE_NATIVE_TOOLS so the model can follow
the Constitution's Regulations (Tier 3) and the Mode: YOLO instructions.

Harvested and vetted — no malware, no external deps, no injection:
- #1859 (@harvey2011888): loop guard now reports Failed on halt
- #1870 (@victorcheng2333): honour DEEPSEEK_YOLO env on startup
- #1935 (@IIzzaya): replace [x] with [✓] completion markers
- #1837 (@PurplePulse): fix macOS title centering (pin to top)
- #1967 (@cyq1017): show base_url in /config view
- #1906 (@knqiufan): copy transcript without visual-wrap newlines
Also fix cycle_manager archive_dir_for to use resolve_state_dir
so recall_archive tests pass with the migrated sessions path.

- Add CODEWHALE_RELEASE_BASE_URL as canonical env override for release
asset base URL (DEEPSEEK_TUI_RELEASE_BASE_URL and DEEPSEEK_RELEASE_BASE_URL
remain as legacy fallbacks).
- Add CODEWHALE_USE_CNB_MIRROR env var to auto-select the CNB (cnb.cool)
mirror for binary downloads, avoiding GitHub Releases timeouts in China.
- Update npm install scripts (artifacts.js) with the same env checks.
- Update Rust self-updater (update.rs) with new constants and env cascade.
Fixes#2222.
