Full changelog

What's new

Persistent agent identity

  • Each agent gets a unique name from a 56-name pool (no duplicates ever)
  • Personality traits, domain focus, and a self-narrative that evolves with completed goals
  • Identity preamble injected into every planning/reasoning prompt
  • Domain-seeded idle goals so agents explore areas they're built for

TUI: inspect panel

  • Press Enter on any agent to open a detail panel
  • Completed agents drop off the list — only active agents shown

Parallel execution + cycle speedup

  • ThreadPoolExecutor with 2 workers (matches OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL=2)
  • Plans shortened to 2–3 steps (was 3–5)
  • Cycle time cut from ~13 min → ~7 min

Goal diversity

  • Last 10 completed goals used as exclusion list for follow-on goals
  • Agents no longer repeat tasks

Test harness

  • test_run.py — quick CLI test: PYTHONPATH=/agentOS python3 test_run.py "goal" --agents 2 --timeout 180
