What's new in aish.

Unreleased

Fixed

  • Container worker image self-builds the aish binary — Dockerfile.worker is now a multi-stage build that compiles aish inside a rust:1-bookworm stage and copies it into a matching debian:bookworm-slim runtime, killing the GLIBC_2.39 not found class of opaque container-worker failures. Adds a .dockerignore and a pre-launch --version probe that degrades to the host subprocess with a real diagnostic.
  • Shift-Tab with no coordinators is a silent no-op — no more screen clear/redraw when there's nothing to cycle to.

Changed

  • Dev release reuses same-commit CI/CD builds instead of recompiling — release-dev.yml re-publishes byte-identical binaries when a matching ci-<run>-<sha> release exists, saving ~4–6 min of runner time per unchanged commit.
  • Collapsed tool-output activity stream + symmetric Ctrl-O toggle — the activity stream shows a … N lines — Ctrl-O to expand summary; Ctrl-O toggles the full last-turn output in and out.

Added

  • :goal long-horizon goals — durable, cross-session goal → milestones → tasks + blockers hierarchy in ~/.aish/aish.db, injected into every turn.
  • Audible finish-bell when a background worker/batch/coordinator completes (AISH_WORKER_BELL=0 to mute, AISH_WORKER_BELL_CMD for a custom sound).
  • Plugin system — skill-registry expansion — aish discovers plugins under ~/.aish/plugins/<id>/ and merges each enabled plugin's skills into the catalog.

0.21.1

  • Interactive system-prompt refresh to the current LightHeart persona.
  • NEVER FABRICATE, ALWAYS VERIFY guardrail added to system + worker prompts: agents must confirm claims with real tool output, not assert unverified results.

0.21.0

  • Lifecycle hooks — PreToolUse blocking gate: hooks can block a tool call before it runs, not just observe it.
  • :stop coordinator stand-down channel — harder than :tell.
  • Parent session wakes when fanned-out coordinators complete.
  • read_file gains 1-based line-range slicing.
  • Ctrl-C interrupts an attached worker's current turn without killing the run.
  • Local backend auto-downloads the detected GGUF from Hugging Face on first use.

0.20.0

  • Release binaries now ship with the local backend built in (--features local) — the published aish includes the llama.cpp / GGUF backend out of the box, no from-source rebuild to run offline.

0.19.3

  • Hardware-aware local model selection — the local backend inspects the host and picks an appropriate GGUF model/parameters for the detected hardware.
  • Final, clean release of the llama.cpp local-backend line (recovering the burned v0.19.0 tag onto main).
