Summary
AI summaryUpdates New Features, Bug Fixes, and Tests across a mixed release.
Full changelog
New Features
- First-class Shell agents — create and edit command-backed agents from the CLI, editor, and TUI. Shell agents run their configured command from the task workspace and map exit code
0to success and non-zero exits to failure. - Simplified Shell setup — selecting Shell asks only for the agent name and command, hides model, reasoning, role, skills, and team fields, and applies the automatic approval policy.
- Command-aware TUI — creation confirmations and agent details show the configured command, while Shell agent details prioritize the active task and command over AI-only model information.
Bug Fixes
- Reliable targeted run completion —
orch run <task-id>keeps its event listener until the requested run completes, preserving final output and returning a non-zero process exit code when the Shell command fails. - Immediate wizard confirmation — text and textarea validation is checked against the current value when the user confirms, eliminating stale debounce errors without allowing invalid values through.
- Safe adapter transitions — switching an existing agent to Shell clears incompatible model and effort settings, requires a command, and defaults approval to automatic.
Refactoring
- Centralized repeated Shell conditions and agent-creation status formatting without changing behavior.
Tests
- Added service, CLI, adapter, wizard, command-bar, and TUI regression coverage for Shell creation, editing, validation, execution, success, and failure.
- Verified the built CLI in a real pseudo-terminal TUI session.
- Full suite: 2069 passed, 2 skipped.
