This change removes the legacy logs/ directory and consolidates all
session data, error logs, and discovery files under the .g3/ directory.
New directory structure:
- .g3/sessions/<session_id>/session.json - session logs
- .g3/errors/ - error logs (was logs/errors/)
- .g3/background_processes/ - background process logs
- .g3/discovery/ - planner discovery files (was workspace/logs/)
Changes:
- paths.rs: Remove get_logs_dir()/logs_dir(), add get_errors_dir(),
get_background_processes_dir(), get_discovery_dir()
- session.rs: Anonymous sessions now use .g3/sessions/anonymous_<ts>/
- error_handling.rs: Errors now saved to .g3/errors/
- project.rs: Remove logs_dir() and ensure_logs_dir() methods
- feedback_extraction.rs: Remove logs_dir field and fallback logic
- planner: Use .g3/ for workspace data and .g3/discovery/ for reports
- flock.rs: Look for session metrics in .g3/sessions/
- coach_feedback.rs: Remove fallback to logs/ path
- Update all tests to use new paths
- Update README.md and .gitignore
Implement compact display format for read_file, write_file, str_replace, and shell:
- read_file/write_file/str_replace: Single line with dimmed summary and timing
Format: ● tool_name | path [range] | summary | tokens ◉ time
- shell: Two-line format with command header and dimmed output
Format: ● shell | command
└─ output (N lines) | tokens ◉ time
Changes:
- Add print_tool_compact() method to UiWriter trait
- Add is_shell_compact state tracking in ConsoleUiWriter
- Add format_write_file_summary() and format_str_replace_summary() helpers
- Fix duplicate response output by checking if response is empty before printing
- Add finish_streaming_markdown() call before return to flush markdown buffer
Agent: hopper
Added 4 new test files with blackbox/characterization-style integration tests:
- compaction_behavior_test.rs (14 tests): Token cap calculation, thinking mode
disable logic, summary message building, CompactionResult behavior
- retry_behavior_test.rs (17 tests): RetryConfig presets and customization,
RetryResult state handling, retry_operation behavior with simulated errors
- tool_execution_roundtrip_test.rs (16 tests): End-to-end tool execution through
Agent interface for read_file, write_file, shell, str_replace, and TODO tools
- error_classification_test.rs (25 tests): Recoverable vs non-recoverable error
classification, retry delay calculation, edge cases and priority handling
All tests follow integration-first philosophy:
- Test through stable public interfaces
- Assert observable behavior, not implementation details
- Use characterization style to document current behavior
- Enable refactoring by not encoding internal structure
Project memory is now stored at analysis/memory.md instead of .g3/memory.md.
This change enables:
- Shared memory across git worktrees (studio agent sessions)
- Version-controlled memory that persists across clones
- Memory changes tracked in git history and reviewable in PRs
Changes:
- crates/g3-core/src/tools/memory.rs: Update get_memory_path() to use analysis/
- crates/g3-cli/src/project_files.rs: Update read_project_memory() path
- crates/g3-core/src/prompts.rs: Update documentation references (2 occurrences)
- analysis/memory.md: Add memory file (copied from .g3/memory.md)
Added first_user_message field to Fragment struct that captures the
full first user message (task) from the dehydrated conversation.
This is now displayed at the top of the stub with a 📋 Task: prefix.
Removed the Topics section from the stub since the full task provides
better context for forensics and debugging.
Agent: g3
ACD (Aggressive Context Dehydration) fixes:
- Fixed dehydrate_context() to extract turn summary from context window
instead of using the passed-in final_response (which contained only
the timing footer, not the actual LLM response)
- Removed final_response parameter from dehydrate_context() since it
now self-extracts the last assistant message as the summary
- This ensures the actual turn summary is preserved after dehydration,
not just the timing footer
New /dump command:
- Added /dump command to dump entire context window to tmp/ for debugging
- Shows message index, role, kind, content length, and full content
- Available in both console and machine modes
UTF-8 safety:
- Fixed truncate_to_word_boundary() to use character indices instead of
byte indices, preventing panics on multi-byte UTF-8 characters
- Added UTF-8 string slicing guidance to AGENTS.md
Agent: g3
When read_file is called with an end position beyond the file length,
instead of returning an error that forces a retry, now clamps to the
actual file length and returns the content with an informative message.
This eliminates wasteful retry cycles where the LLM had to make a
second request with the corrected end position.
Change read_file output format so the "🔍 N lines read" appears as
the last line after the file content, not before it. This keeps the
output cleaner with just one metadata line at the end.
1. str_replace: Show insertion/deletion counts with colors
"✅ +N insertions | -M deletions" (green/red)
2. write_file: Compact format with human-readable sizes
"✅ wrote N lines | Xk chars"
3. read_file: Cleaner format
"🔍 N lines read" instead of "📄 File content (N lines)"
4. webdriver_quit: Show correct driver name (safaridriver vs chromedriver)
5. read_file: When start position exceeds file length, read last 100 chars
with explanation instead of failing
6. shell: Remove redundant "Command failed:" prefix from error messages
Collapsed nested if statements that check related conditions into
single conditions using &&. This improves readability by making
the logical relationship between conditions explicit.
Files changed:
- feedback_extraction.rs: 3 instances of tool_use/final_output checks
- tools/todo.rs: 1 instance of todo completion check
Agent: fowler
The function had two branches that both returned line.to_string():
- when !should_truncate
- when line.chars().count() <= max_width
Merged into a single condition. Also updated format! to use
inline variable syntax per clippy suggestion.
Agent: fowler
Adds a new --auto-memory CLI flag that automatically sends a reminder
to the LLM after each turn where tools were called, prompting it to
call the remember tool if it discovered any key code locations.
Changes:
- Add auto_memory field and set_auto_memory() method to Agent
- Add tool_calls_this_turn tracking in execute_tool_in_dir()
- Add send_auto_memory_reminder() that sends reminder after tool use
- Add --auto-memory CLI flag and wire it up in console/machine modes
- Call send_auto_memory_reminder() in single-shot and interactive modes
- Add visible status messages for auto-memory actions
Fixes bug where tool calls were not being tracked when execute_tool_in_dir
was called directly with working_dir=None.
- Remove IMPORTANT FOR CODING section (~1,500 chars of coding guidelines)
- Remove <use_parallel_tool_calls> block (~500 chars)
- Remove unused const_format dependency from g3-core
- Simplify get_system_prompt_for_native() to just return base prompt
- Response Guidelines now cleanly ends the static prompt
Prompt reduced from ~8,500 to ~6,500 characters.
- Add description field to SessionContinuation struct
- Extract first user message (truncated to ~60 chars at word boundary)
- Display as quoted text instead of session ID hash
- Fall back to session ID if no description available
Example: [2 hours ago] 'when I call /resume it only shows me 2 sessions...'
- Change run_autonomous to return Agent instead of () so session
continuation is properly saved in accumulative mode
- Update format_session_time to show relative times ("2 hours ago",
"yesterday") for recent sessions and dates for older ones
- Handle Ctrl+C cancellation gracefully with informative message
Fix session detection:
- Add save_session_continuation() calls at all session exit points
- Sessions now properly create .g3/session symlink for resume detection
- Fixes issue where g3 wasn't offering to resume previous sessions
Add /resume command:
- New list_sessions_for_directory() to scan available sessions
- New switch_to_session() method to safely switch between sessions
- Shows numbered list with timestamps, context %, and TODO status
- Saves current session before switching (can be resumed later)
- Restores full context if <80% used, otherwise uses summary
- Machine mode supports /resume and /resume <number>
Documentation:
- Add /clear and /resume to CONTROL_COMMANDS.md
- Update /help output with new commands
When the scout agent fails (e.g., context window exhaustion), now:
- Captures both stdout and stderr from the scout process
- Detects context window exhaustion errors with specific patterns
- Provides detailed, actionable error messages to the user
- Shows suggestions for how to work around the issue
- Includes technical details (exit code, error output) for debugging
Handles two failure modes:
1. Scout agent exits with non-zero status
2. Scout agent exits successfully but doesn't produce valid report markers
Both cases now surface clear error messages instead of cryptic failures.
The timing footer (e.g., ⏱️ 19.4s | 💭 4.7s) was being saved to the
conversation history as a separate assistant message. This happened
because stream_completion_with_tools returns the timing footer in
TaskResult.response for display, but the caller was also saving it
to context.
Fix: Strip the timing footer (identified by \n\n⏱️) before saving
to context window. The timing footer remains display-only.
Also includes:
- Research tool blank line fix: only add visual separator for research
tool output, not all tools
- Research tool webdriver propagation: pass parent's webdriver browser
choice (Safari vs Chrome headless) to scout subprocess
final_output removal:
- Remove final_output from tool definitions and dispatch
- Update system prompts to request summaries as regular text
- Remove final_output_called field from StreamingState
- Update auto_continue tests to remove final_output_called parameter
- Remove final_output test from tool_execution_test.rs
- Update planner and flock prompts to not reference final_output
- Keep backwards-compat code in feedback_extraction.rs and task_result.rs
Scout report handback:
- Change from file-based to delimiter-based report extraction
- Scout outputs report between ---SCOUT_REPORT_START/END--- markers
- Research tool extracts content between markers, strips ANSI codes
- Add comprehensive tests for extraction and ANSI stripping
657 tests pass.
The research tool now streams the underlying scout agent's output
to the CLI in real-time for visual indication of progress. This
output is displayed but not added to the conversation context.
Simplified the main system prompt's web research section to just direct
users to the research tool. Moved the detailed WebDriver usage instructions
to scout.md where they belong, since the scout agent is the one that
actually uses WebDriver for research.
Main prompt now simply says: use the research tool for web research.
Scout agent now has the full WebDriver best practices documentation.
New tool that spawns a scout agent to perform web research and return
a structured research brief. The scout agent uses webdriver to browse
the web and returns a decision-ready report.
Changes:
- Added 'research' tool definition (12 core tools total)
- Added research tool dispatch in tool_dispatch.rs
- Created tools/research.rs implementation:
- Spawns 'g3 --agent scout <query>' as subprocess
- Captures stdout and extracts last line (report file path)
- Reads and returns the report file contents
- Added exclude_research flag to ToolConfig
- Scout agent (agent_name == 'scout') does NOT have access to research
tool to prevent infinite recursion
- Updated system prompts to describe when to use research tool
- Added scout.md agent prompt with research brief output contract
The research tool is preferred for complex research tasks (APIs, SDKs,
libraries, approaches, bugs). WebDriver can still be used directly for
simple lookups or fine-grained control.
The buffer truncation code was slicing at a raw byte offset which could
land in the middle of a multi-byte character (like emojis), causing a
panic. Fixed by using char_indices() to find valid character boundaries.
Also added stop_reason field to CompletionChunk initializers in tests
to complete the stop_reason feature addition.
- Fix byte boundary panic in filter_json.rs line 327
- Add test for multi-byte character handling
- Update test files with missing stop_reason field
When the LLM executes a tool and then outputs text (e.g., analysis after
reading images), the text was being displayed during streaming but never
saved to the context window. This caused:
1. The response to appear truncated in the session log
2. Loss of context for subsequent turns
3. The LLM losing track of what it had already said
The fix saves current_response to the context window before breaking
out of the streaming loop for auto-continue after tool execution.
Reproduction scenario:
- User asks LLM to read images and analyze them
- LLM calls read_image tool
- Tool executes successfully
- LLM outputs analysis text ("Now I can see the results...")
- Text was displayed but lost from session log
Now the text is properly persisted to the context window.
- Remove final_output from tool definitions, dispatch, and misc tools
- Update system prompts to request summaries as regular markdown text
- Remove print_final_output from UiWriter trait and all implementations
- Remove final_output handling from agent core logic
- Rename final_output_summary → summary in session continuation
- Delete final_output test files
- Update tool count tests (12→11, 27→26)
This allows LLM summaries to stream through the markdown formatter
for a more natural, responsive user experience instead of buffering
everything into a tool call.
This fixes a bug where the agent would stop responding abruptly without
calling final_output. The root cause was the allow_multiple_tool_calls
config option (default: false) which caused the agent to break out of
the streaming loop mid-stream after executing the first tool, losing
any subsequent content.
Changes:
- Remove allow_multiple_tool_calls config option entirely
- Always process all tool calls without breaking mid-stream
- Simplify system prompt generation (no longer needs boolean param)
- Let the stream complete fully before continuing to next iteration
- Change find_last_tool_call_start to find_first_tool_call_start
- Remove parser.reset() call on duplicate detection
Benefits:
- Simpler logic with less conditional branching
- No lost content after tool calls
- Consistent behavior for all users
- Reduced config complexity

Add get_session() helper function that:
- Checks if webdriver is enabled
- Acquires the session read lock
- Returns the cloned session or an error message
Refactored 12 webdriver tool functions to use this helper:
- execute_webdriver_navigate
- execute_webdriver_get_url
- execute_webdriver_get_title
- execute_webdriver_find_element
- execute_webdriver_find_elements
- execute_webdriver_click
- execute_webdriver_send_keys
- execute_webdriver_execute_script
- execute_webdriver_get_page_source
- execute_webdriver_screenshot
- execute_webdriver_back
- execute_webdriver_forward
- execute_webdriver_refresh
Each function previously had ~10 lines of identical boilerplate.
Now reduced to 4 lines using the helper.
Net reduction: 68 lines (678 -> 610)
All tests pass. Behavior unchanged.
Agent: carmack
databricks.rs:
- Extract ToolCallAccumulator struct to replace opaque (String, String, String) tuple
- Add decode_utf8_streaming() helper for cleaner UTF-8 handling
- Add is_incomplete_json_error() helper for JSON parse error detection
- Add make_final_chunk() helper to reduce duplication
- Add finalize_tool_calls() to convert accumulators to final format
- Refactor parse_streaming_response from ~270 lines to ~100 lines
- Reduce nesting depth from 8+ levels to 4 levels
- Use early returns and let-else for cleaner control flow
file_ops.rs:
- Replace repetitive if-let chains with declarative PATH_CONTENT_KEYS table
- Use match expression instead of nested if-else
- Reduce extract_path_and_content from 44 lines to 20 lines
All tests pass. Behavior unchanged.
- Add set_agent_mode() to UiWriter trait for visual mode differentiation
- ConsoleUiWriter uses royal blue (ANSI 256 color 69) for tool names in agent mode
- Fix extract_readme_heading() to search only README section of combined content
(was incorrectly showing AGENTS.md heading instead of README heading)
- streaming_parser.rs: Rename has_message_like_keys to args_contain_prose_fragments
with improved documentation explaining the heuristic for detecting malformed
tool calls where LLM prose leaked into JSON keys
- context_window.rs: Simplify build_thin_result_message using early return
pattern and match expression for cleaner control flow
Agent: carmack
Auto-continue was incorrectly triggering when the LLM asked questions
in interactive/chat mode. Now auto-continue only activates when
is_autonomous is true, allowing proper back-and-forth conversation
in interactive mode.
