CodeWhale 0.8.45 ڈاؤن لوڈ

Added
- RLM session objects. rlm_open can now load session:// refs, exposing the active prompt, history, and session data as symbolic objects inside RLM REPLs (#2047).
- Command palette voice input. The command palette can launch a configured speech-to-text helper and show footer status while transcription runs (#2047).
- Moonshot/Kimi provider. Moonshot/Kimi is now a first-class provider, including API-key auth, model completion, CLI auth, secret-store integration, and optional Kimi CLI credential reuse.
- Deterministic whale-species sub-agent names. Sub-agents now get stable, human-readable whale-species nicknames (e.g. "Beluga", "Orca") while preserving the raw agent ID in the popup (#2035, #2016).
- /balance command scaffold. Registered the /balance slash command as a placeholder for future provider billing queries (#2035, #2019).
- Readable /restore snapshot labels. Snapshot labels now include the originating user prompt so restore listings are easier to identify. Thanks @idling11 (#2111).
- Sidebar hover tooltips. Truncated Work and Tasks sidebar lines now expose their full text on hover. Thanks @idling11 (#2110).
Changed
- AGENTS.md is now maintainer-local. The project instructions file no longer ships as a tracked repo file; it lives in maintainer-local ignored state (#2047).
Fixed
- Sub-agent completion handoff compatibility. Completion handoffs now use a chat-template-safe role and emit before terminal updates, fixing strict OpenAI-compatible/self-hosted backends and preserving transcript ordering. Thanks @h3c-hexin and @cyq1017 (#2057, #2120).
- Self-hosted context budgeting. Sub-500K self-hosted model windows now keep a usable input budget instead of disabling preflight compaction after output reservation underflow. Thanks @h3c-hexin (#2060).
- Goal prompts start actionable. Goal-start prompts now open in an actionable state instead of requiring an extra nudge. Thanks @cyq1017 (#2097).
- Composer session title display. The composer chrome shows the current session title again and avoids grayscale luma overflow in debug builds. Thanks @wdw8276 (#2108).
- Approval prompts use a one-step confirmation flow. Enter now commits the selected approval option directly, destructive warnings remain visible, and abort cancels the active turn instead of only denying the current tool call. Thanks @reidliu41 (#2143).
- Model picker selection survives Esc. Dismissing the model picker with Esc no longer loses the highlighted selection. Thanks @reidliu41 (#2056).
- Moonshot/Kimi sessions launch from the dispatcher. The codewhale wrapper now includes Moonshot/Kimi in the TUI provider allowlist, so codewhale --provider moonshot --model kimi-k2.6 reaches the TUI instead of stopping after config resolution.
- Slash recovery no longer restores command tails in the composer. Resuming a session or recovering from a crash no longer leaves stale slash-command text (e.g. /sessions) in the composer input (#2047, #2032).
- Remembered tool approvals now update the live active turn. When the "remember" checkbox is set on an approval dialog, the active turn's auto-approve flag flips immediately instead of waiting for the next turn. Thanks @gaord (#2047, #2041).
- YAML block scalars in SKILL.md frontmatter. Multi-line descriptions using > or | indicators are now parsed correctly — folded block scalars join non-empty lines with spaces, literal scalars preserve newlines, and all three chomping modes (strip/clip/keep) are supported. Thanks @zlh124 (#1908, #1907).
- User messages highlighted in the transcript. User-authored messages now render with a full-row background in the live TUI transcript, making it easier to scan prior turns. Assistant and system messages are unaffected. Thanks @reidliu41 (#1995, #1672).
- Cancellable list_dir and file_search. Long directory walks and file searches now respond to user cancel/stop requests with a 30-second fallback timeout, preventing the TUI from hanging on deep or slow filesystems (#2035).
