94
+ ### 🪟 Windows CLI Provider Detection & Enhanced Robustness
95
+
96
+ **This patch release fixes critical Windows compatibility issues and adds robust provider detection with security enhancements.**
97
+
98
+ #### Added
99
+
100
+ - **Windows CLI Provider Detection** (Phase 1):
101
+ - Cross-platform CLI provider detector (`src/core/cli-provider-detector.ts`)
102
+ - Windows-specific detection using `where.exe` + PATH×PATHEXT fallback
103
+ - Unix detection using `which` command
104
+ - Detection caching for performance (< 1ms cached lookups)
105
+ - Support for `.CMD`, `.BAT`, `.EXE`, `.COM` extensions on Windows
106
+
107
+ - **ENV Variable Override** (Phase 2):
108
+ - `CLAUDE_CLI` - Override Claude CLI path
109
+ - `GEMINI_CLI` - Override Gemini CLI path
110
+ - `CODEX_CLI` - Override Codex CLI path
111
+ - Three-layer detection: ENV → Config → PATH
112
+ - `ax status` shows ENV variable status with validation
113
+
114
+ - **Provider Configuration** (Phase 2):
115
+ - `customPath` - Custom CLI path in provider config
116
+ - `versionArg` - Custom version check argument
117
+ - `minVersion` - Minimum required version (semantic versioning)
118
+
119
+ - **Version Validation**:
120
+ - Semantic version parsing and comparison
121
+ - Automatic CLI version detection via `--version`
122
+ - Warning logs when version requirement not met
123
+ - Permissive behavior (allows if version check fails)
124
+
125
+ - **Cross-Platform CI** (Phase 3):
126
+ - GitHub Actions workflows for Ubuntu, macOS, Windows
127
+ - Automatic testing on all platforms
128
+ - Coverage report artifacts
129
+ - 30-minute timeout for Windows tests
130
+
131
+ #### Fixed
132
+
133
+ - **Critical**: Windows CLI provider detection failures (GitHub Issue #1)
134
+ - Providers now detected correctly on Windows using `where.exe`
135
+ - Fallback to PATH×PATHEXT scanning if `where.exe` fails
136
+ - Standard PATH detection works on all platforms
137
+
138
+ - **Provider Detection**:
139
+ - Enhanced `BaseProvider.checkCLIAvailabilityEnhanced()` with version validation
140
+ - Proper fallback chain: ENV → customPath → PATH
141
+ - Graceful degradation on detection failures
142
+
143
+ - **CI Configuration**:
144
+ - Artifact upload paths corrected (coverage/ only)
145
+ - Removed non-existent test-results/ path
146
+ - Added `if-no-files-found: warn` for graceful handling
147
+
148
+ - **Documentation**:
149
+ - Async error handling documentation for `detectAll()`
150
+ - Clear usage examples with proper error handling
151
+ - JSDoc annotations updated with `@throws` tags
152
+
153
+ #### Security
154
+
155

157
+ - Added validation to reject `~` (home directory) shortcuts
158
+ - Security warnings logged for suspicious paths
159
+ - Read-only validation (no writes, minimal risk)
160
+
161
+ #### Changed
162
+
163
+ - **Provider Detection Priority**:
164
+ 1. ENV variables (highest priority)
165
+ 2. Config `customPath` (second priority)
166
+ 3. Standard PATH detection (fallback)
167
+ 4. Version validation (if `minVersion` set)
168
+
169
+ #### Performance
170
+
171
+ - **Detection Caching**: First call ~100-500ms, cached calls < 1ms
172
+ - **Version Check Overhead**: +100-200ms when `minVersion` configured
173
+ - **Path Validation**: +0.1-0.5ms per path (negligible)
174
+ - **Overall Impact**: < 1% overhead
175
+
176
+ #### Documentation
177
+
178
+ - Added comprehensive JSDoc for all new APIs

206
+ ### 🚀 Stage Execution & Checkpoint System
207
+
208
+ **This release introduces a checkpoint-based stage execution system for fault-tolerant, long-running workflows with interactive, streaming, and hybrid execution modes.**
209
+
210
+ #### Added
211
+
212
+ - **Stage Execution System**:
213
+ - `StageExecutionController` - Orchestrates multi-stage execution with checkpoint support
214
+ - `CheckpointManager` - JSON-based checkpoint persistence with automatic cleanup
215
+ - `ProgressChannel` - Event-based real-time progress tracking
216
+ - `PromptManager` - User interaction prompts with timeout handling
217
+ - **Commands**:
218
+ - `ax resume <run-id>` - Resume execution from saved checkpoint
219
+ - `ax runs list` - List all checkpoint runs with filtering
220
+ - `ax runs show <run-id>` - Show detailed checkpoint information
221
+ - `ax runs delete <run-id>` - Delete checkpoint with confirmation
222
+
223
+ - **Execution Modes**:
224
+ - `--interactive` - Pause between stages for user decisions
225
+ - `--streaming` - Real-time progress updates during execution
226
+ - `--hybrid` - Both interactive and streaming (shortcut for `--interactive --streaming`)
227
+ - `--resumable` - Enable checkpoint save for resume capability
228
+ - `--auto-continue` - Auto-confirm all checkpoints (CI-friendly mode)
229
+
230
+ - **Configuration** (`automatosx.config.json`):
231
+ - `execution.stages.enabled` - Enable stage-based execution (opt-in)
232
+ - `execution.stages.autoSaveCheckpoint` - Auto-save checkpoints after each stage
233
+ - `execution.stages.checkpointPath` - Checkpoint storage directory
234
+ - `execution.stages.cleanupAfterDays` - Automatic checkpoint cleanup
235
+ - `execution.stages.prompts.autoConfirm` - Default auto-confirm behavior
236
+ - `execution.stages.progress.updateInterval` - Progress update frequency
237
+ - `execution.stages.progress.syntheticProgress` - Enable synthetic progress
238
+
239
+ #### Fixed
240
+
241
+ - **Critical**: Removed `argv.interactive || true` forcing all executions into interactive mode (src/cli/commands/run.ts:458)
242
+ - Now respects CLI flags: `--interactive`, `--streaming`, `--hybrid`, `--resumable` work correctly
243
+ - Fixes regression where flagship v5.3.0 features were broken
244
+
245
+ - **Major**:
246
+ - Resume command now passes `memoryManager` to `StageExecutionController` for memory persistence (src/cli/commands/resume.ts:243-244)
247
+ - Config-driven automation settings now properly honored instead of being overridden by CLI defaults
248
+ - `autoSaveCheckpoint` uses config value when CLI flag not specified
249
+ - `autoConfirm` uses config value when CLI flag not specified
250
+ - Resume flow now preserves original `autoConfirm` choice from checkpoint instead of defaulting to `false`
251
+ - CLI options (`--interactive`, `--resumable`, `--auto-continue`, `--streaming`, `--hybrid`) no longer have hardcoded `default: false`, allowing proper config fallback
252
+
253
+ - **Minor**:
254
+ - Removed duplicate spinner in streaming mode - `ProgressRenderer` now handles all visual feedback (src/core/stage-execution-controller.ts:1286)
255
+
256
+ #### Technical Details
257
+
258
+ - **New Core Modules**:
259
+ - `src/core/stage-execution-controller.ts` - Stage lifecycle, checkpoint integration, progress tracking
260
+ - `src/core/checkpoint-manager.ts` - Checkpoint CRUD, JSON persistence, automatic cleanup
261
+ - `src/core/progress-channel.ts` - Event-based progress updates with percentage tracking
262
+ - `src/core/prompt-manager.ts` - CLI user prompts with timeout and validation
263
+ - `src/cli/commands/resume.ts` - Resume from checkpoint with mode override support
264
+ - `src/cli/commands/runs.ts` - Checkpoint management (list, show, delete)
265
+ - `src/cli/renderers/progress-renderer.ts` - Real-time progress visualization
266
+ - `src/types/stage-execution.ts` - Complete type definitions for stage system
267
+
268
+ - **Checkpoint Structure**:
269
+ ```
270
+ .automatosx/checkpoints/
271
+ └── <run-id>/
272
+ ├── checkpoint.json # Checkpoint metadata and stage states
273
+ └── artifacts/ # Stage outputs and files
274
+ ```
275
+
276
+ - **Benefits**:
277
+ - ✅ Fault tolerance: Resume from failure points
278
+ - ✅ Long-running workflows: Execute multi-hour tasks safely
279
+ - ✅ User control: Pause and review between stages
280
+ - ✅ Real-time feedback: Monitor progress during execution
281
+ - ✅ Audit trail: Complete execution history with artifacts
282
+
283
+ #### Known Limitations
284
+
285
+ - Test coverage for new features (StageExecutionController, CheckpointManager, resume, runs) is minimal
286
+ - Recommendation: Add comprehensive tests before production use

419
+ ```
420
+
421
+ #### How Provider Detection Works
422
+
423
+ AutomatosX uses a **three-layer detection system**:
424
+
425
+ 1. **ENV Variables** (highest priority) - `CLAUDE_CLI`, `GEMINI_CLI`, `CODEX_CLI`
426
+ 2. **Config File** - Custom paths in `automatosx.config.json`
427
+ 3. **PATH Detection** (automatic) - Standard system PATH
428
+ - **Windows**: Uses `where.exe` + PATH×PATHEXT scanning
429
+ - **Unix/macOS**: Uses `which` command
430
+
431
+ #### Windows-Specific Help

- **Terminal Mode** (any platform):
445
+ #### Option A: Claude Code Integration (Recommended)
446
+
447
+ **Best Practice: Natural Language Collaboration**
448
+
449
+ Open Claude Code and try these prompts:
450
+
451
+ ```
452
+ ✅ "please work with ax agent to create a simple calculator function"
453
+ ✅ "please work with ax agent to design a REST API for user management"
454
+ ✅ "please work with ax agent to implement secure authentication"
455
+ ```
456
+
457
+ **What happens**:
458
+ 1. Claude Code analyzes your project context
459
+ 2. Selects and coordinates the best agents
460
+ 3. Agents execute with full context
461
+ 4. Results are validated and explained
462
+ 5. Easy to iterate: "please improve the error handling"
463
+
464
+ **Express Option: Slash Commands** (for simple tasks)
465
+
466
+ ```bash
467
+ # Quick, direct execution
468
+ /ax:agent backend, write a function to validate email
469
+ /ax:agent quality, review this code snippet
470
+ ```

+ ## ⏱️ Stage Checkpoints & Run History
551
+
552
+ AutomatosX 5.3 introduces stage-aware checkpoints so you can pause long-running agent workflows, inspect intermediate outputs, and resume exactly where the run stopped.
553
+
554
+ ### Enable resumable runs
555
+ - CLI: `ax run <agent> "<task>" --resumable` (add `--interactive` or `--hybrid` for live approval)
556
+ - Config: set `execution.stages.enabled` to `true` in `automatosx.config.json` to make stage checkpoints the default. Combine with `execution.stages.autoSaveCheckpoint` to persist after every stage.
557
+
558
+ When a stage finishes, AutomatosX stores a checkpoint under `.automatosx/checkpoints/<run-id>/` (artifacts, logs, and metadata). The CLI prints the UUID so you can resume or inspect it later.
559
+
560
+ ### Manage checkpoints
561
+ - `ax resume <run-id>` — Resume a saved run. Flags such as `--interactive`, `--streaming`, `--hybrid`, or `--auto-continue` override the saved execution mode.
562
+ - `ax runs list [--status running|paused|completed|failed|aborted] [--agent <name>] [--limit <n>]` — Review recent checkpoints with progress and status.
563
+ - `ax runs show <run-id> [--artifacts]` — Inspect stage history, retry counts, and generated artifacts before resuming.
564
+ - `ax runs delete <run-id> [--force]` — Remove stale checkpoints or clear sensitive artifacts once a run is finalized.
565
+
566
+ Set `execution.stages.cleanupAfterDays` to control automatic pruning (default 7 days). For an end-to-end guide, see [Checkpoints & Run History](docs/guide/checkpoints-and-resume.md).
