Oh My Pi v18.5.0

@oh-my-pi/pi-ai

Fixed

• Fixed AWS credential_process on Windows stripping backslashes from unquoted paths such as C:\Users\me\helper.exe; commands are now split with Windows command-line rules there, matching the AWS CLI.

Added

• Added closeModelCache() (@oh-my-pi/pi-catalog/model-cache) to release the shared default models.db handle so an agent directory can be deleted on Windows; the next cache access reopens it

Breaking Changes

• task.completionProbeMs is replaced by the on/off setting task.completionProbe; an existing task.completionProbeMs migrates automatically (0 → off, any period → on).
• SessionStorage.claimSessionFile(sessionPath) is replaced by claimSession(sessionId, sessionPath) (which also refuses when the path now holds a different session), and sessionOwnerLeasePath() by tryAcquireSessionLease(sessionId): custom storage backends that implemented claimSessionFile must implement claimSession to keep cross-process ownership (#14095 by @andrebrait)

Added

• /dump all writes a zip to the temp directory with the main transcript, the LLM request JSON, and one file per subagent transcript (nested subagents included, killed ones marked aborted); the TUI copies the archive path to the clipboard. Plain /dump is unchanged (#13908 by @H4vC)
• Added /effort [level] to set the thinking level without switching models: bare /effort opens a picker, and completions offer only the current model's levels within the session effort ceiling. Its description includes thinking and intelligence so either term finds it; Shift+Tab still cycles levels (#12222 by @Xytronix, #14113 by @andrebrait).
• Added a per-call model selector to task items, eval agent(), and workpool(): a provider/model[:level] pattern or role alias, or an ordered array of them, that takes precedence over task.agentModelOverrides and the agent definition. Selection is an ordered preference — requested candidates are tried before configured fallbacks — and the spawn fails at preflight instead of silently routing elsewhere when the selector is the ambiguous literal default/inherit with or without a :level suffix (use @default), is blank or comma-only, carries an invalid thinking suffix, matches no available model, or sits on the batch container instead of a tasks[] item. A requested model without working credentials fails the spawn instead of running on the parent's model, and the error tells the caller to report the unavailable model rather than substitute another. A pool applies its selector to each worker's first turn and reuses that worker's session afterwards (#12229 by @Xytronix, #13669 by @andrebrait).

Changed

• Subagent completion estimates are asked after 2, 5, 10 and 30 more minutes, then hourly, instead of at a fixed interval, and only for subagents the main agent spawns in an interactive session; print (-p), RPC, ACP and SDK runs and nested subagents never request them.
• /changelog, /context, /tools, /hotkeys, /advisor status, /memory view|queue|stats|diagnostics, and the mental-model views no longer add their report to the transcript. In text mode a report that fits shows above the editor like /btw and Esc dismisses it; a taller one (such as /changelog full) opens as a full-screen page on the alternate screen, scrolled with the arrow/page/Home/End keys and the wheel, and Esc returns to the screen exactly as it was. In the native terminal it opens as a sheet like /usage whose long reports scroll, closed with Esc or Close (#14136 by @H4vC).
• /jobs, /mcp help|list|resources|prompts|notifications and /ssh help|list no longer add their report to the transcript either: they show the same way, and natively /jobs opens the live background-jobs sheet the jobs pill opens (/jobs full keeps the full command lines in a report sheet) (#14138 by @H4vC).
• The welcome banner (in the terminal and as Tern's native card) is now the omp logo and wordmark with the version and a tip. It no longer shows the "Welcome back!" greeting, the model (the status line does), LSP servers or recent sessions (/resume), and the # / ! $ prompt prefixes moved into the rotating tips.

Fixed

• Auto-retry now retries the same model once after a mid-stream socket drop that had already streamed reasoning or tool calls, instead of switching to the fallback chain on the first attempt; the fallback chain is consulted only if that retry also fails. This applies to every provider, since a dropped socket says nothing about the model (#13747 by @abilliontokens)
• Fixed native git patch apply, checkout, stash, cherry-pick, and worktree removal on Windows ignoring core.autocrlf: LF patches failed to apply to CRLF checkouts and clean CRLF files were treated as modified
• Fixed the command image-URL uploader stripping backslashes from Windows paths in its command template (C:\tools\upload.exe {file} ran C:toolsupload.exe)
• Fixed reading a SQLite database (local or by URL) and closing prompt history leaving the database file locked on Windows
• Fixed RPC mode on Windows freezing when the client stopped reading stdout: the worker blocked on the full stdout pipe and stopped reading stdin, so a client writing a batch of commands before reading replies deadlocked. Output now goes through a non-blocking stdout stream that spools to disk under backpressure, as on Linux and macOS
• Fixed HTML export hanging when a session's subagent directory held a transcript named ..jsonl; discovery now only descends into real child directories (#13908 by @H4vC)
• Fixed resuming a session through a symlink or hard link to a file another omp process is writing: the resumed session no longer mixes its turns into that file and continues in a new file next to it (#14095 by @andrebrait)
• Fixed moving a session to another directory replacing a session file there that another omp process is writing, or moving a session another process is writing; the move now stops with an error and leaves both files untouched (#14095 by @andrebrait)
• Preserve the parent’s upstream route and live reasoning effort for inherited task/eval/workpool selectors and restored workers; caller effort, a requested @default:<level>, and the agent definition's own thinking-level still take precedence over the inherited effort (#12229 by @Xytronix, #13669 by @andrebrait).
