v0.7.5 Implementation Plan

Scope: background shell job UX, in-TUI MCP management/discovery, and V4 context/cache policy. Do not include provider expansion or Whalescale rename/migration work in this release lane.

Context/cache decision

Default path:

Keep the transcript append-only and preserve the stable prefix for DeepSeek V4 cache reuse.
Disable replacement-style auto_compact by default.
Keep replacement compaction manual or late: if a user enables auto_compact, V4 compacts only near the 80% model-window guard (800000 tokens for 1M-context models), not at reasoning-effort soft caps.
Keep the Flash seam manager ([context].enabled) opt-in until issue #200 has repeatable cache-hit/miss evidence.
Keep the capacity controller disabled by default. Treat it as telemetry or an experimental guardrail unless capacity.enabled = true is set.
Use emergency overflow recovery only when the request would otherwise exceed the model input budget.

Rationale: V4's 1M-token window and prefix-cache economics make early replacement compaction suspect. The first shippable slice should prevent old 128K-era heuristics from rewriting context before there is evidence that the rewrite is cheaper and more reliable than preserving a hot prefix.

Shippable slices

Slice 1: Context policy and docs

Change default auto_compact to off.
Keep V4 replacement-compaction thresholds late and independent of reasoning effort.
Make [context].enabled default to false.
Make docs/CONFIGURATION.md, docs/capacity_controller.md, and config.example.toml match code defaults.
Add focused tests for defaults and V4 threshold behavior.

Slice 2: Background shell job center (#195)

Add a job-center view fed by ShellManager::list().
Show command, cwd, linked task id when available, status, elapsed time, exit code, and latest output.
Add controls to inspect full output, poll latest output, send stdin for PTY/stdin-capable jobs, kill a background job, and attach completed output as task evidence.
Mark restart-stale jobs explicitly rather than presenting them as live.
Add lifecycle tests for start, poll, cancel, complete, stale/restart, plus TUI snapshots for running and completed job details.

Slice 3: MCP manager (#196)

Add /mcp or a command-palette action that opens an MCP manager view.
Show resolved config path, server enabled/disabled state, transport, command/url, timeout settings, startup errors, and discovered tool/resource/prompt counts.
Wire mcp_config_path into the interactive config surface.
Support init, add stdio server, add HTTP/SSE server, enable, disable, remove, validate, reconnect, and inspect tools/resources/prompts.
Preserve both servers and mcpServers config shapes.

Slice 4: MCP discoverability (#197)

Add an MCP command-palette section backed by the same discovery state as the manager.
Group tools/resources/prompts by server.
Show disabled/failed servers without blocking palette rendering.
Keep model-visible names consistent with mcp_<server>_<tool>.

Stop rules

Do not close #159 or #162 unless a verified PR actually resolves them.
Do not add provider expansion.
Do not rename or migrate anything to Whalescale.
Do not broaden the TUI into a large redesign; each slice should remain independently testable and shippable.
