- Add terminal_width module with get_terminal_width(), clip_line(),
compress_path(), and compress_command() utilities
- Update ConsoleUiWriter to use dynamic terminal width for all tool output
- Tool output lines are clipped to fit without wrapping
- Tool headers use semantic compression (paths preserve filename,
commands clip from right)
- 4-character right margin for visual clarity
- Minimum 40 columns, default 80 when terminal size unavailable
- All truncation is UTF-8 safe (char counting, not byte slicing)
- Add 13 unit tests for terminal width utilities
- Fix build warnings: add #[allow(dead_code)] to unused deserialization fields
- Fix plan approval gate bug: block file changes when no plan exists (not just
when plan exists but is unapproved)
- Add "Create a plan: " prefix to first user message in plan mode
- Add prepare_plan_mode_input() helper function for testability
- Reset is_first_plan_message flag when entering plan mode via /plan command
- Add tests for approval gate (no plan + no changes, no plan + changes)
- Add tests for prepare_plan_mode_input (happy, negative, boundary cases)
- Update ChecksCompact to use Vec<CheckCompact> for negative/boundary fields
- Add progress bar visualization showing done/doing/blocked/todo counts
- Show evidence for done items, checks for active items
- Display all negative and boundary checks (not just first)
- Add proper tree structure with └/├ prefixes
- Truncate long descriptions and evidence paths
- Add file path display with 📄 icon
Replaces the built-in research/research_status tools with a portable
skill-based approach:
- Add embedded skills infrastructure (skills compiled into binary)
- Add repo-local skills/ directory support (highest priority)
- Create research skill with SKILL.md and g3-research shell script
- Script extraction to .g3/bin/ with version tracking
- Filesystem-based handoff via .g3/research/<id>/status.json
- Remove PendingResearchManager and all research tool code
- Update system prompt to reference skill instead of tool
Benefits:
- No special tool infrastructure needed (just shell + read_file)
- Context-efficient (reports stay on disk until needed)
- Crash-resilient (state persisted to filesystem)
- Portable (skill can be overridden per-workspace)
Breaking change: research tool calls now return a deprecation message
pointing to the research skill.
- Fix vertical bar continuation: │ continues all the way down, only the
very last sub-line (boundary of last item) gets └
- Add visual gap before plan file path and change 📄 to ->
- Dedent file path to align with tree root
- Fix plan_approve to use proper compact tool format (was missing from
is_compact_tool matches! in print_tool_compact, causing it to fall
through to regular output with | prefix)
Plan tools (plan_read, plan_write) now display with elegant tree-style
formatting similar to the old todo_write UI:
- State indicators: □ (todo), ◐ (doing), ■ (done), ⊘ (blocked)
- Tree prefixes (├/└) for items with child details
- Strikethrough for completed items
- Shows touches and all three checks (happy/negative/boundary)
- Displays plan file path link at the end
plan_approve uses compact single-line format like read_file:
- Shows approval status and revision number
- Handles already-approved and error cases
Changes:
- Add print_plan_compact() to UiWriter trait with default impl
- Implement print_plan_compact() in ConsoleUiWriter
- Call print_plan_compact() from execute_plan_read/write
- Add plan_read/plan_write to is_self_handled_tool()
- Add plan_approve to is_compact_tool() with format_plan_approve_summary()
- Add serde_yaml dependency to g3-cli
Extract a new g3_status module in g3-cli that provides consistent formatting
for all 'g3:' prefixed system status messages.
Key changes:
- Add G3Status struct with methods for progress, done, failed, error, etc.
- Add Status enum with Done, Failed, Error, Resolved, Insufficient, NoChanges
- Add ThinResult struct in g3-core for semantic thinning data
- Update UiWriter trait with print_thin_result() method
- Refactor context thinning to return ThinResult instead of formatted strings
- Update all callers to use the new centralized formatting
- Session resume/decline messages now use G3Status
- Compaction status messages now use G3Status
This maintains clean separation of concerns: g3-core emits semantic data,
g3-cli handles all terminal formatting and colors.
- print_g3_progress now uses print! instead of println!
- print_g3_status completes the line with just the status
- Result: 'g3: compacting session ... [done]' on one line
Simplify print_context_thinning to just print the message directly.
The message already contains proper ANSI formatting from context_window.rs.
Removes the flash animation and 'Context optimized successfully' footer.
The print_todo_compact() function was missing the call to clear the
streaming hint line before printing the final tool output. This caused
the tool name to appear twice when the hint line wasn't cleared:
● todo_read ● todo_read | empty
Added the missing handle_hint(ToolParsingHint::Complete) call to match
the behavior of print_tool_compact().
Agent: carmack
Changes:
- streaming_parser.rs: Unified find_first/last_tool_call_start into single
find_tool_call_start with SearchDirection enum, reducing duplication.
Simplified is_json_invalidated from 45 to 20 lines with clearer logic.
Fixed redundant !escape_next check in find_complete_json_object_end.
- filter_json.rs: Simplified check_tool_pattern from 40 to 24 lines.
Replaced repetitive prefix checks with loop over ["t", "to", "too", "tool"].
Reduced trailing return statements with direct expression returns.
- ui_writer_impl.rs: Added ansi module for duration color constants.
Simplified duration_color function by removing redundant comments.
- language_prompts.rs: Fixed test assertions to match actual prompt content
("obvious, readable Racket" instead of "RACKET-SPECIFIC GUIDANCE").
All 174+ tests pass. No behavior changes.
- Add ToolParsingHint enum (Detected/Active/Complete) for UI feedback
- New UiWriter methods: print_tool_streaming_hint(), print_tool_streaming_active()
- Refactor ConsoleUiWriter state to use atomics in ParsingHintState
- Add tool_call_streaming field to CompletionChunk for provider hints
- Anthropic provider sends streaming hints when tool name detected
- New streaming helpers: make_tool_streaming_hint(), make_tool_streaming_active()
Parser improvements:
- Add is_json_invalidated() to detect false positive tool patterns
- Fix tool result poisoning when file contents contain partial JSON
- Unescaped newlines in strings or prose after JSON invalidates detection
User sees ' ● tool_name |' immediately when tool call starts streaming,
with blinking indicator while args are received.
- Rename take_screenshot -> screenshot, code_coverage -> coverage (shorter names)
- Align | character across all compact tools (pad to 11 chars for str_replace)
- Make code_search a compact tool with summary display
- Show language and search name in code_search output (e.g., rust:"find structs")
- Add format_code_search_summary() to extract match/file counts from JSON response
When the LLM reads the same file multiple times in sequence (scrolling
through a large file), instead of showing each as a separate line:
● read_file | path [0..2000] | 50 lines | 100 ◉ 5ms
● read_file | path [2000..4000] | 50 lines | 100 ◉ 5ms
● read_file | path [4000..6000] | 50 lines | 100 ◉ 5ms
Now shows a cleaner continuation format:
● read_file | path [0..2000] | 50 lines | 100 ◉ 5ms
└─ reading further [2000..4000] | 50 lines | 100 ◉ 5ms
└─ reading further [4000..6000] | 50 lines | 100 ◉ 5ms
This makes it visually clear that the agent is scrolling through
a single file rather than reading multiple different files.
Implementation:
- Added last_read_file_path field to ConsoleUiWriter
- Detect when consecutive read_file calls target the same file
- Print continuation format for subsequent reads
- Reset tracking when:
- A different tool is executed (shell, write_file, etc.)
- A different file is read
- Text is output between tool calls
Adds blank line separation between text and tool calls for better readability:
- Text → Tool: blank line before tool call
- Tool → Text: blank line before text
- Tool → Tool: no gap (stays tight)
Implemented via two state tracking flags in ConsoleUiWriter:
- last_output_was_text
- last_output_was_tool
Updated print_tool_output_header(), print_tool_compact(), and
print_agent_response() to check and set these flags appropriately.
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
Add ANSI clear-to-end-of-line escape sequence (\x1b[K]) after the
reset code in the context thinning animation. This prevents leftover
background color artifacts when the carriage return overwrites the
line during the flash animation.
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
- 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.
When shell commands output very long lines (e.g., JSON content from
tail -c 10000), the lines would wrap in the terminal. The cursor-up
escape code (\x1b[1A) only moves up one visual line, not the entire
wrapped content, causing the display to fill with uncleared text.
This fix truncates lines to 120 characters in update_tool_output_line()
before displaying them, preventing the wrapping issue.
Replace the separate syntax_highlight module with the streaming markdown
formatter for final_output rendering. This:
- Removes special buffered rendering logic for final_output
- Uses the same StreamingMarkdownFormatter used for agent responses
- Removes the spinner animation (content renders immediately)
- Deletes the now-unused syntax_highlight.rs module
- Updates test to use the streaming formatter
Benefits:
- Consistent rendering across all markdown output
- Less code to maintain (removed ~250 lines)
- Same syntax highlighting via syntect (already in streaming formatter)
- 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)
Properly separates UI display concern from core library:
- fixed_filter_json module now lives in g3-cli (UI layer)
- UiWriter trait gains filter_json_tool_calls() and reset_json_filter() methods
- g3-core delegates filtering to UI layer via trait methods
- Different UiWriter implementations can choose their own filtering behavior
- ConsoleUiWriter filters JSON tool calls for clean terminal display
- MachineUiWriter/NullUiWriter use default pass-through
Benefits:
- Proper separation of concerns
- Core stays clean without display-specific logic
- Testability - filter can be tested independently in g3-cli
Improve planner mode user experience with better error reporting,
cleaner tool output, and consistent log file placement.
- Propagate and display classified LLM errors to users with
appropriate icons and context
- Display tool calls on single lines with truncated arguments
- Show LLM text responses without overwriting via UiWriter
- Ensure all logs write to workspace/logs directory consistently
- Set G3_WORKSPACE_PATH early in planning mode initialization
Writes the current context window to logs/current_context_window (uses a symlink to a session ID).
This PR was unfortunately generated by a different LLM and did a ton of superficial reformating, it's actually a fairly small and benign change, but I don't want to roll back everything. Hope that's ok.
