 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [3.0.0-alpha.4] — 2026-09-28
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- **BREAKING: compactor reworked.** Session continuity (the SQLite event log and the snapshot restored after compaction) is removed: it logged every session under one shared ID, so restored snapshots mixed projects and reached ~60k tokens. Also removed: the sandbox tools (`sandbox`, `sandbox_file`, `sandbox_batch`), the `compact` tool (it never compacted), the `compactor_stats`/`compactor_doctor` tools, presets, and the strategy modes that had no effect. **Migration path:** `/unipi:compact` and `/unipi:lossless-compact` still work but are deprecated. Use `/unipi:compact-vcc`, `/unipi:compact-jev` or `/unipi:compact-by-llm`. Old configs are translated: `overrideDefaultCompaction: false` becomes Method = model summary, and `autoCompaction.enabled` becomes When = at a percentage. `~/.unipi/db/compactor` is no longer used and can be deleted.
+
+### Added
+
+- `compactor`: the lossless summary is rebuilt from the full session history on every compaction, so it can no longer grow from one compaction to the next (a real session went 15k → 236k → 248k characters). It puts the current state first: Active Work, Your Requests, Latest State, Decisions & Constraints, Files, Commits, Open Errors, Recent Transcript. Each section has a hard budget.
+  - Text that extensions inject with the user role (loop prompts, nudges, notifications) is recognised and left out of Your Requests; extension-sent messages are also marked when they are sent.
+  - `ask_user` answers are kept as "question → answer" decisions.
+  - Typed credentials are redacted.
+- `compactor`: **lossless + jev** method (`/unipi:compact-jev`). jev, the Decision model, drops items that are no longer in force, such as finished one-off requests, reversed decisions and fixed errors, at per-kind confidence thresholds. If jev is unavailable, the plain lossless summary is used.
+- `compactor`: the settings screen shows 5 main settings (Method, Pi's /compact, When, Percentage, Notifications); everything else is under **Advanced compaction**.
+- `core`: `registerCompactionContext()`. long-horizon (goal, ralph) and kanboard register their live state, and every compaction summary leads with it.
+- `scripts/compactor-eval.mts` replays the compactor at real compaction points of recorded sessions and shows what happened next, for review. `scripts/compactor-continue.mts` writes resumable A/B session files (old vs new compaction) for a blind "continue from here" test with `pi --fork … -nt -p`.
+- **Decision Model settings** (`/unipi:settings → Decision Model`): the jev provider, model, base URL, key and timeout now live in one shared `decision-model` namespace instead of long-horizon's judge. Every module that uses it (long-horizon routing, permission auto mode, skill exposure, watchdog, kanboard strategy, compactor pruning) has a **Decision model** block that inherits the shared model by default or switches to a custom one; empty custom fields fall back to the shared value. Existing `long-horizon.judge.*` transport settings are migrated once.
+- `compactor`: user corrections ("restore the background… I did not request this change") are kept as decisions.
+- `compactor`: **Lessons** section: lessons the agent wrote down itself (memory notes, `# Confirmed: …` comments in its commands, diagnosis sentences), kept verbatim. **Project Knowledge** section: notes it wrote or read, repeated build/test/deploy commands, hosts. Decisions keep early standing rules ("always…", "never…") instead of only the most recent ones.
+- `compactor`: jev asks short, local questions it can answer precisely: "durable lesson or one-off note?" and "does this later item replace that earlier one?" on items about the same subject. A reversal in the recent messages removes the stale lesson it replaces.
+- `compactor`: **compaction card** in the transcript under Pi's `[compaction]` block: one line (`Compacted 7.9k → 2.2k tokens · lossless + jev · 1 stale dropped · at 3%`), ctrl+o for method, trigger, kept tail, sections and jev drops. Never sent to the model; replaces the compaction toasts.
+- `footer`: the stats strip under the input shows `5 compactions · 47k→15k · just now` once the session has compacted. The five compactor segments are now one icon-free `compactions` segment.
+- `compactor`: the info-screen Compactor tab shows the method and trigger settings, compactions by method, tokens before → after, and the last compaction.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- `compactor`: the percentage trigger compacts at the `turn_end` boundary instead of calling `ctx.compact()`, which aborted the run and left goal, ralph and kanboard loops waiting. The "auto-continue" message is removed; Pi 0.87 continues after automatic compaction on its own, so it only added empty extra turns.
+- `compactor`: stats come from the session's own compaction entries instead of a fixed "12% kept" guess (also in the footer segments).
+- `compactor`: the kept tail is sized to the model's context window (recut above 40%, `keep:N` included) and the summary is capped at 8% of it, so compaction can no longer overflow small-context models.
+- `compactor`: secrets are redacted before summary items are clipped (a clipped quote could leak a password).
+- `compactor`: `/unipi:compact-doctor` no longer calls the jev method "model summary"; `/unipi:compact-stats` counts jev separately; a manual compaction with nothing to compact no longer repeats Pi's error.
+- `kanboard` tests wrote a fake judge key (`"k"`) into the real `~/.unipi/config/long-horizon/config.json`, which silently disabled the jev judge. They now use project scope.
+
+## [3.0.0-alpha.3] — 2026-09-27
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- **BREAKING: `subagents` rebuilt on Devin's model.** `spawn_helper`/`get_helper_result` and `bg_delegate`/`bg_result` are gone, along with workflow scripts, missions, schedules, budgets, acceptance gates, agent memory, worktrees, prompt templates and the bundled agents. **Migration path:** use `run_subagent` (foreground / background / resume) with `subagent_explore` or `subagent_general`, or a custom markdown agent in `~/.unipi/config/agents` / `<project>/.unipi/config/agents` (`/unipi:agents` creates them). `read_subagent` replaces the old result tools. Saved `backgroundTasks.delegate.*` settings are ignored, not deleted.
+- **BREAKING: `btw` is an inline panel.** `/unipi:btw-new`, `-tangent`, `-clear`, `-inject`, `-summarize` and `--save` are removed; each `/unipi:btw` question runs in a fresh read-only session seeded from the main branch. Old btw notes still render.
+- **BREAKING: `/unipi:model` saves the default with Alt+Enter**, not Ctrl+S (which clashed with terminals, VS Code, Zellij and XOFF). The startup model and thinking level are also in `/unipi:settings → Fusion → Startup`.
+- `long-horizon`: default mode is now `none` (the judge still routes); set `longHorizon.defaultMode` to keep the old behaviour.
+- `workflow`: the all-projects permission mode moved to its own `permission.defaultMode` key (migrated once from a legacy global `mode`).
+
+### Added
+
+- **subagents: Devin-parity screens.** Live foreground card, `N subagents (k running) · ↓ select` strip, ↓ opens a dock (view transcript, `f` foreground, `x` cancel), Ctrl+B backgrounds and Esc cancels a foreground run, state survives resume. Settings hub: default model, thinking, max running, "Manage agents…".
+- **fusion: Devin-parity sidekick.** Steps stream into the chat, blocking handoffs forward approvals to you, background handoffs deny them; the sidekick runs the lead's extensions. Fusion's lead policy and long-horizon's mode block are named system-prompt sections (long-horizon used to drop the lead policy).
+- **kanboard:** task strategies (none/goal/ralph/swarm/graph) and plan-first labels, board default strategy `auto` (jev picks), blocking policy `avoid` (agents note assumptions instead of blocking), grouped board settings dialog written through to the extension settings, Review lane "Done all".
+- **TUI:** one visual language from a shared kit in `@pi-unipi/core` — crafted spinner, badges, rails, progress bars. Subagent cards settle to ✓/✗ in place; background notices, `read_subagent` and the dock are badges; memory cards are rails.
+- **Progress bars** for ralph (checklist), kanboard (board) and goal (a user-only side estimate + summary per loop and on `/unipi:goal status`, configurable in Long-Horizon → Progress).
+- **input-shortcuts:** Ctrl+C keeps the cleared input struck through in the transcript (never sent to the model); ↑ restores it.
+- `core`: every unipi command echoes `❭ /cmd args` in the transcript; the settings engine has an optional `onSet` hook.
+- `npm run tui:gallery` — standalone preview of UniPi's TUI designs, spinners and terminal capabilities.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **long-horizon: goal and ralph loops no longer stop after the first turn.** The next-turn message was sent while pi still counted the turn as running and was rejected (`Agent is already processing`); it is now queued as a follow-up.
+- **long-horizon: batched goals no longer stall.** A turn that changed files and then claimed completion counted as no progress when the verifier said not met, so goals that claim after every batch got a generic nudge instead of the verifier's feedback and paused after eight claims.
+- **fusion:** the Fusion row can always be applied — the model cache refreshes on a miss (bridge-registered models were "not available"), stale saved lead/sidekick keys are dropped, and Enter/Tab opens the dropdown for a missing half. Sidekick tools only appear while Fusion is active; the picker is wide again.
+- **settings:** the permission project and default rows no longer open two pickers at once.
+- **kanboard:** the binary lookup prefers a source checkout's dev build over a stale platform package.
+- **memory:** at most one queued save reminder.
