Provider reliability and fixes

Highlights

• OpenAI-compatible providers that answer 529 or another 5xx "heavy usage" error are now retried automatically instead of failing the turn, and the error no longer blames your network
• /usage shows real quota windows for Kimi Code, Cursor, and the Z.ai Coding Plan (thanks @ghoker143)
• Pressing Esc while a follow-up prompt is pending stops the current turn and runs the follow-up (thanks @SiavZ)

Improvements

• Copilot accepts reasoning effort for every model whose catalog advertises it and sends it on both the Responses and Chat Completions APIs
• Saved API keys stay in their env files instead of the running process, so editing a key file takes effect without a restart
• The client shows the context window the server resolved instead of a placeholder
• The jcode log records which binary actually launched, to diagnose stale copies on PATH

Fixes

• DeepSeek enabled through --provider auto uses its own default model and 1M context instead of anthropic/claude-sonnet-4 with 200K
• In-app updates on Termux patch the glibc ELF interpreter like the installer does, and refuse to switch to a binary that cannot run
• Configured /colors roles now apply on 256-color terminals
• Images in formats providers reject are no longer stored or sent, and sessions self-heal from the resulting 400 errors

Provider-native web search

Highlights

• Web search now uses your model provider's own server-side search (Anthropic and OpenAI) by default instead of scraping from your machine, shown as regular web search rows live and on resume (thanks @johnnyfish)

Improvements

• Set websearch.prefer_native = false or JCODE_WEBSEARCH_PREFER_NATIVE=0 to keep using local search engines
• Provider-side search follows each session's allowed and disabled tool policy
• SDK apps that register their own websearch tool keep it instead of having it replaced by provider search
• Installing a skill mid-session no longer invalidates the prompt cache, so the next turn stays fast and cheap
• When switching providers, earlier native search results are summarized clearly so the model does not retract correct answers

Fixes

• OpenAI login validation no longer hangs when the account hits a usage limit
• Retrying a turn no longer leaves web search rows from the aborted attempt
• Interrupted Anthropic turns that used native search no longer risk a request error on the next message

Herdr support and /cloud session moves

Highlights

• jcode is now a first-class agent in herdr: its name and working/idle state show in the sidebar and herdr agent list, herdr agent wait works on it, and after a herdr restart the pane reopens the same jcode session
• /cloud and /local move a live session, including uncommitted code, to a cloud host and back

Improvements

• herdr reports run in the background with a short timeout, so herdr can never slow jcode down, and jcode releases the pane when you quit

Fixes

• Usage telemetry now counts tokens from responses that fail mid-stream, crashed sessions, compaction, and background agents

Cursor MCP tool calls complete on every model

Highlights

• Cursor MCP tool calls now complete on Composer, Grok 4.7, Grok 4.6, and Claude models instead of hanging after the tool is requested

Fixes

• Switching a session to Cursor with /model no longer leaves MCP tool calls stuck: tool results are sent back to Cursor
• jcode answers Cursor's MCP server state and tool allowlist checks, so the model's tool call actually reaches jcode
• Cursor model names resolve against Cursor's live model list, so Grok 4.6, Claude Opus 5/5.5, and GPT-5.6 Sol no longer fail with 'Model name is not valid'

• A new Commits info widget shows recent commits with line counts and marks unpushed ones
• The swarm dock lists each agent with its status, current activity, and todo progress

Improvements

• Alt+Shift+M shows or hides the diagram pane, and Alt+M now only cycles the side panel (split, fullscreen, hidden)
• Info widgets put their headers, overflow counts, and legends on their borders
• The foot terminal is detected as sixel-capable for Mermaid diagrams
• The harness API can move a running tool to the background
• agentgrep 0.1.7 keeps partial results when ripgrep hits unreadable files

Fixes

• The session status line (directory, branch, git status, context, provider, and model) stays pinned below the input, with info widgets showing the detail behind it
• Agents can show interactive applets, and swarms can message each other across swarms with unique labels

Improvements

• The Changes widget lists dirty files newest first with line counts and marks the files the agent edited

Always-on adaptive status line

Highlights

• The status line below the input is now always visible by default and adapts to the terminal width, keeping the directory, model, and context usage in view even on narrow terminals

Improvements

• Status line is right-aligned with the model at the right edge, and model and provider text is muted to keep the line quiet
• Status line shows git status counts next to the branch (modified, staged, untracked, ahead, behind)

• API-key and OAuth model catalogs refresh independently, so one account or authentication method cannot hide models available on the other
• Update Claude OAuth client compatibility to Claude Code 2.1.280 for the latest model release

Improvements

• Support Opus 5.5 mandatory adaptive thinking, progress summaries, and documented conversation-bound thinking controls
• Keep the last usable catalog during refresh failures and separate cached API-key catalogs by credential fingerprint
• Show distinct missing API key and missing Claude login labels rather than hiding the direct API route

• Memory recall uses Jev to select relevant project and global memories without loading a local embedding model at startup
• Save Anthropic prompt-cache retention preferences with /cache extend and see clearer cache usage, retention estimates, and provider-specific limits

Improvements

• Use /merge to integrate the current branch into the repository primary branch with validation of the combined result
• Terminal tab titles show session edit-line counts and elapsed time for the current or most recent work period
• Jev features prefer the included subscription route when the gateway and account support it, instead of automatically charging a separate API key

Highlights

• Configure root-model reasoning effort independently for swarm and deep swarm, with the selected effort shown in the effort switcher
• Delegate multi-step browser tasks to a bounded Jev browser session that returns control to the parent agent
• Create and manage separate panels from Markdown or linked PDFs, with bounded PDF payloads and safe Markdown fallback for older TUI clients

Improvements

• Model pickers remember route usage and use shared usage-aware ranking across clients
• Gemini adds project and OAuth-route configuration, and context compaction can be capped below a model's full window
• Native SDK clients gain cancellable OAuth login, local Git worktree operations, per-turn response and edit statistics, swarm lifecycle metadata, and side-panel snapshots

Clearer remote login onboarding

Highlights

• Connecting to an SSH host now asks a plain yes-or-no question before offering to import a local OpenAI or Claude login

Improvements

• The remote login picker lists the providers the host actually supports, with local imports shown as explicit choices
• Remote login status is sanitized before display, so host credential details are never echoed back

Fixes

• Pasted input while choosing a login stays in the active picker instead of leaking into the prompt
• Remote hosts configured with an unrecognized provider are reported as unknown rather than signed in

Native SSH sessions and remote login

Highlights
