13
+ ### Added
14
+
15
+ - Peer bundles: the `/claude` and `/codex` status cards say when the peer's installed chi-peer skill differs from
16
+ this bundle's (`install-skill`, Replace, then pair again).
17
+
18
+ ### Changed
19
+
20
+ - Peer bundles (claude-peer, codex-peer): a peer's `VERDICT OK` answer now wakes chi once to close the round, so chi
21
+ carries on with what waited on it (another peer, the next step) or tells you what was agreed, instead of waiting
22
+ for your next message. That turn counts toward `session.max_wakes`, not `context.peer_turns`. Run `/claude
23
+ install-skill` and `/codex install-skill` (Replace) after `chi update` for the matching skill text.
24
+ - Peer bundles: a peer's answers now come as `claude-outbox` / `codex-outbox` (were `claude-review` /
25
+ `codex-review`), to pair with `claude-inbox` / `codex-inbox`. After `chi update`, run `/claude install-skill` and
26
+ `/codex install-skill` (Replace), then pair again from Claude or Codex: until then a new pair loses the peer's
27
+ answers, and an existing pair's answers don't wake chi as a peer's. Then remove the old source:
28
+ `chi context rm claude-review <id>` / `chi context rm codex-review <id>`.
29
+ - A long `execute` result now keeps its last lines (where test summaries and errors are) as well as the first, and
30
+ the whole output is saved in the session's folder (`tool_output/`, kept as long as the session, the newest 50); the
31
+ model is told the file's path, so it reads that instead of running the command again. A long `task_wait` result
32
+ keeps its end too and names the task's log, and a long reply from a delegated session keeps its conclusion and
33
+ names the child's reply file. New setting
34
+ `execute.cut_head_chars` (default 1000): how much of the start such a result keeps.
35
+
36
+ ### Fixed
37
+
38
+ - Web: a long tool output's hover text after a reload (or a mid-turn reconnect) keeps its end too, not only its
39
+ first 2000 chars, so an `execute`'s test summary and exit line stay visible; a `read` still shows its start.
40
+
41
+ Update with `chi update` (it upgrades the bundles too): the system bundle 0.70.0, claude-peer 0.4.0 and codex-peer
42
+ 0.3.0. Then run `/claude install-skill` and `/codex install-skill` (Replace), pair again, and restart `chi web`.
43
+
44
+ ## [0.69.0] - 2026-10-14
45
+
46
+ ### Added
47
+
48
+ - Web: a new chain link (continue →) shows the model picker in its composer until its first turn, so the next link can
49
+ start on another model or provider; the continue toast shows the fallback warning when the previous model's host is
50
+ gone.
51
+ - Built-ins a session's toolkit leaves out are reachable: `find_tools` searches them (group `chi`) beside MCP
52
+ servers' tools, and `call_tool` runs them through the usual guardrails as the real call. `remove:` /
53
+ `--no-tool` / `/toolkit remove` stay hard.
54
+
55
+ ### Changed
56
+
57
+ - find_tools' description and its `server` parameter (now `group`) changed: sessions with MCP servers read their
58
+ prompt again once. So do sessions on `lean`, `child`, `coordinator` or a kit based on them: they now declare
59
+ `find_tools` and `call_tool`, and their not-loaded line changed.
60
+ - A toolkit based on `lean` or `child` (a `toolkit.kits` entry, a bundle's `chi.toolkit`) no longer keeps the
61
+ built-ins its base leaves out from the model: they're reachable through `find_tools` / `call_tool`, guarded as
62
+ themselves. Name one under `remove:` to keep it out.
63
+ - Guardrail rules on `call_tool` no longer see calls of chi's own tools made through it; they match the tool's own
64
+ name.
65
+ - Shipped bundles: a change that needs a newer chi marks the manifest `requires_chi_next` instead of raising
66
+ `requires_chi`; `rake release:bump` raises it to the released version and `rake release:check` fails on a marker
67
+ left over.
68
+ - `/toolkit remove X` on a tool the toolkit leaves out is saved (it makes X unreachable). `/toolkit add X` then
69
+ `/toolkit remove X` now removes X (it used to go back to the kit's default), and a remove then an add declares X.
70
+ - The `child` toolkit also removes `delegate` and `delegate_result`: a child on it can't start children, even
71
+ through call_tool.
72
+
73
+ ### Fixed
74
+
75
+ - A TLS handshake blip on a gateway (`SSL_connect … unexpected eof`, a reset mid-handshake) is retried like other
76
+ network errors instead of failing the turn at once; a certificate chi doesn't trust, a certificate for another
77
+ name, or an `https://` base_url on a plain HTTP port fails at once, saying what to check (`SSL_CERT_FILE`, the
78
+ host's base_url).
79
+ - A bundle tool named like an MCP tool (`mcp_fs_read`) no longer takes `call_tool` calls of that MCP tool out of
80
+ `mcp_*` rules.
81
+ - Web: on a phone the start page's model, thinking and LLM context chips wrap instead of being cut short; a toast no
82
+ longer covers a fresh link's open model panel; the family popover's status dots keep pulsing in step.

A command that sets its own EXIT trap replaces it: `execute` still reports the shell's status, and a handed-over one gets its code from chi's waiter while that chi runs; a `task_create` task ends failed with no exit code.
27

A timeout during the 1.5 s background grace is a kill (the shell is gone, nothing to hand over). If the record can't be written, the command is killed. `TaskRuntime.adopt` writes a record for the process execute already started, with `handed_over_by: "execute"`. Its logs stay where execute wrote them, so the record's paths are absolute: `output_path` (stdout), `stderr_path` (stderr, a log of its own) and `exit_code_path`. `started_at` (and `created_at`) is the spawn time, not the hand-over's; `pid_started` is read at the hand-over, while execute's detach waiter is still running. From there it is an ordinary task: `task_wait`, `task_get`, `task_list` and `task_stop` treat it as any other. Its dir gets a `task` back-pointer file holding the record's absolute path. Once per process, the first `execute` sweeps `…/execute/`: a dir whose logs no process holds is removed when it has no back-pointer and is a day old (chi died mid-command), when its record is gone, or when it is 14 days old. The records live in each project's `tmp/tasks`, which the state dir can't list: hence the back-pointer.

A `task_wait` result longer than `max_tool_output_chars` keeps its header and the tail's end, with a gap line naming `output_path`, where the whole log already is (and `stderr_path`, when the record has one) (`ToolOutputCut`'s `:head_tail_ref`; nothing is copied; see [Tool output guardrails](tool-guardrails.md#the-runners-cut-max_tool_output_chars)).

An execute's id is read only after its first line (`Execute::HANDED_OVER`, through `TaskRuntime.handed_over_id`; the web has a JS twin in `task_stop.js`), not from a `task_id:` line inside a run, which the command can print.

49
+ ## The runner's cut (`max_tool_output_chars`)
50
+
51
+ After a tool's own limits, `ToolRunner` caps every result at `max_tool_output_chars` (default `10000`
52
+ characters, both loops). How a longer one is cut is the tool's policy, `ToolOutputCut::POLICIES` (by the
53
+ built-in name; a tool with none gets `:head`):
54
+
55
+ | Tool | Policy | What the model gets |
56
+ | --- | --- | --- |
57
+ | `execute` | `:head_tail_file` | a short head, a long tail, one gap line between them; the whole output saved in the session's folder |
58
+ | `task_wait` | `:head_tail_ref` | the same head and tail, the gap line naming the task's log (`output_path`, `Tools::RefText`); nothing saved |
59
+ | `delegate`, `delegate_result` | `:head_tail_ref` | the same, the gap line naming the child's reply file (its `output/<timestamp>.txt`); nothing saved |
60
+ | `read` and every other tool (`task_get`/`task_list`/`task_create`/`task_stop`, `web_fetch`, `memory_read`, `context_read`, plugin and MCP tools) | `:head` | the first chars, then `[cut: N of M chars; read it in parts]` |
61
+
62
+ `:head_tail_file` is for output whose end matters: a test run's summary, an error, the `exit:` line. The head is
63
+ `execute.cut_head_chars` at most (default `1000`) and never more than a quarter of the room; the tail gets
64
+ everything else the cap leaves, so a larger `max_tool_output_chars` keeps a longer tail. Both are snapped to whole
65
+ lines when that keeps at least half of each. execute's stdout and stderr blocks are cut each on its own (stdout gets
66
+ about two thirds of the room when both are long, a block that needs less gives the rest to the other); the `exit:`
67
+ line is always kept. The whole stays within the cap; a cap too small for a tail of `ToolOutputCut::MIN_TAIL` (200)
68
+ characters gets the `:head` cut, and so does one whose gap lines leave no room for that tail (checked with the
69
+ file's planned path before anything is written): nothing is saved then, and the event has no `output_file:`.
70
+
71
+ The gap line says what was left out and where the whole output is:
72
+
73
+ ```
74
+ [cut: lines 24-1871 of the saved file not shown (41230 of 48211 chars); the whole output is saved in /…/sessions/<id>/tool_output/execute-3f9a1c2b7d10.txt (48211 bytes, 1902 lines): read it with start_line/end_line or rg it; don't rerun the command]
75
+ ```
76
+
77
+ A second cut block (stderr) gets a short line, `[cut: lines A-B of the saved file not shown (N chars)]`. The line
78
+ numbers are the saved file's. When the output was already a preview (execute's own head+tail above
79
+ `execute.truncate_at_bytes`), the line says the preview is what's saved and the full output wasn't kept; for a
80
+ command that didn't finish (killed at the limit, stopped) it says the output it printed is saved, and neither says
81
+ not to rerun.
82
+
83
+ **The saved file** (`ToolOutputFiles`): `sessions/<id>/tool_output/<tool>-<sha256[0,12]>.txt`, the output exactly as
84
+ the runner had it (its `[execute]` lead and a `ran as:` line included). Not `output/`, the session's reply outbox
85
+ (`chi send --wait` and `delegate` take the newest file there as the reply). The name comes from the content, and the
86
+ cut text from the content alone (no clock): the same output gives the same text, for the prompt cache and for
87
+ loop-guard's repeat check (which still catches fewer exact repeats than a head cut did, since a tail carries
88
+ timings). The file goes with the session's folder (deleting the session, the retention sweep); a session keeps its
89
+ newest 50 (`ToolOutputFiles::MAX_FILES`, by mtime), so a pruned file named in an old result is "file not found". A
90
+ fork or a continue doesn't copy them: its results point at the parent's folder. The whole output, secrets included,
91
+ sits on disk as long as the session does. Reading it (`read`, `rg`, `sed -n`) asks no approval: sessions aren't among
92
+ the guardrails' chi dirs (keep the folder's name off `context`, which `shell-touches-chi` matches).
93
+
94
+ **When it can't be saved** (no session: a bare kernel; a write that fails: the error's class, logged as
95
+ `tool_output_save_failed`; a session-folder lookup that raises: `no session`), the gap line says so and how to see the
96
+ rest: `[cut: N of M chars not shown; the whole output wasn't saved (Errno::ENOSPC); to look past this, rerun with the
97
+ output sent to a file (cmd > /tmp/out.txt 2>&1) and read that]`. The turn goes on.
98
+
99
+ `:head_tail_ref` cuts the whole text as one block, the same way, and saves nothing: the tool returns its text as a
100
+ `Tools::RefText` whose `ref_path` is the file the whole of it is in (a reply's file holds only the reply, not the
101
+ `session:`/`status:` header) (`KernelLoop#dispatch` passes it on as the
102
+ result's `ref_path:`), and the gap line names it: `[cut: N of M chars not shown; the task's whole output is in
103
+ <output_path>: read it with start_line/end_line or rg it]`. A handed-over execute's task has a stderr log of its
104
+ own: `RefText#stderr_path` (passed on as `ref_stderr_path:`) adds `(its stderr in <stderr_path>)` after the path.
105
+
106
+ The model, the `:tool_call_completed` event and the `after_tool_call` hook get the same cut text; the event and
107
+ the runner's result carry the saved file's path as `output_file:`, and the log's `tool_call_completed` line has
108
+ `saved=true`.
