chutes-build 2.0.2 → 2.0.4

package/CHANGELOG.md

@@ -4,6 +4,104 @@ All notable changes to Chutes Build will be documented in this file. The format
 is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), and this
 project follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
 
+## [2.0.4] - 2026-10-25
+
+### Added
+
+- **A native `chutes-build-harness` skill explains the CLI to the model.** It
+  covers the tool inventory, permission modes, slash commands, configuration
+  and session locations, diagnostic commands, and a troubleshooting matrix for
+  missing tools, denied calls, 401/403/429, chute-id and media payload errors,
+  document/media capacity failures, missing skills, npm updates, output limits,
+  and loops. The system prompt points at it only when a tool, command,
+  permission, session, or capability fails, or when harness detail is needed.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **New sessions default to Chutes Auto in API-key builds.** The live catalog
+  replaces the bundled model list, which dropped the compiled Auto entry, so the
+  default silently fell back to the first listed model. Chutes Build now rebuilds
+  Auto from the visible chat models as a latency-routed inline pool
+  (`modelA,modelB,...:latency`), because the saved `default` alias needs a
+  dashboard pool that API-key-only accounts do not have. The pool includes every
+  visible chat model that explicitly advertises tool support in
+  `supported_features` and has at least a 32k context, so Auto cannot route an
+  agent turn to a model that cannot call the harness tools. Entries that omit the
+  feature list are excluded rather than assumed capable.
+  `models` and the picker show `model-router` / Chutes Auto again, and a concrete
+  model still bypasses routing.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`update --check` follows the npm registry, and self-update explains the npm
+  path.** This fork ships through npm and GitHub releases, so the upstream GCS
+  release-channel pointer is absent and the old check failed with HTTP 404 (or a
+  missing npm executable on Windows). `--check` now reads the `latest` dist-tag
+  over the registry HTTPS API and prints the npm update command; a non-check
+  `update` reports that self-update is disabled in this build and points at
+  `npm install -g chutes-build@latest`. The upstream installer path remains behind
+  the maintainer-only `CHUTES_BUILD_LEGACY_SELF_UPDATE` escape hatch.
+- **`ocr_page` is advertised again.** The tool was registered but never added to
+  the ecosystem toolsets, so models could not call it even though the guide
+  documented it. Every toolset that offers `extract_document` now offers it too.
+- **Document, embedding, and speech tools resolve public slugs to chute ids.**
+  `extract_document`, `embed_texts`, and `transcribe_audio` passed the catalog
+  slug to the account describe API, which only accepts the chute id, so they
+  failed with "Chute not found" even when the model was live. They now resolve
+  through the live catalog first, like `generate_media`.
+- **Media calls place the prompt inside v2 `args` wrappers.** Cords whose schema
+  requires a single `args`/`input_args` object without resolvable nested
+  properties now receive `{args: {prompt}}` instead of failing with "nothing to
+  send". Published schemas that reference missing definitions no longer block
+  the call: local validation is best-effort and the server stays authoritative.
+- **The tool catalog budget reflects the restored `ocr_page` schema** (30 tools,
+  10,517 estimated tokens, ceiling 10,600).
+
+## [2.0.3] - 2026-10-24
+
+### Added
+
+- **The tool catalog is 11.5% lighter.** `browser`, `extract_document`,
+  `generate_media`, and `scheduler_create` now export a compact model-facing
+  schema: nested `description` and `examples` fields are dropped while every
+  parameter name, type, enum, required entry, and union member survives.
+  Dispatch keeps validating against the canonical schema, so behavior is
+  unchanged. The default catalog drops from 11,573 to 10,239 estimated tokens
+  across 29 tools.
+- **Latency benchmark.** `scripts/bench_chutes.py` measures TTFT, inter-token
+  latency, and total stream time against the same Chutes streaming contract
+  the CLI uses, for a model id or a routing string such as `default:latency`.
+  `docs/performance.md` explains how to compare routing strategies, read the
+  result, and account for prompt caching.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Chutes platform knowledge is available on demand.** The fixed prompt now
+  carries a compact map of the two Chutes hosts, API-key auth, the live model
+  catalog as the source of truth, and saved/inline `:latency`/`:throughput`
+  routing, and points at a new bundled `chutes-platform` skill for the full
+  platform reference: chat/vision/tool features, media chutes, OCR/PDF,
+  embeddings, quotas and billing, TEE attestation, error handling, and the
+  CLI mapping. The skill ships in the binary, is listed by the `skill` tool,
+  and can be shadowed by a user or repository skill.
+- **Independent tool calls batch in one response.** The prompt now tells the
+  model to issue non-dependent calls together, which the parallel dispatch
+  path already runs concurrently, cutting a round trip on multi-tool work.
+
+### Removed
+
+- **The dormant legacy Imagine media tools are gone.** `image_gen`,
+  `image_edit`, `image_to_video`, and `reference_to_video` targeted the xAI
+  Imagine API, which Chutes does not serve; `ImageGenTool`, `ImageEditTool`,
+  `ImageToVideoTool`, `ReferenceToVideoTool`, `ImageGenClient`,
+  `VideoGenClient`, their config plumbing, and the upstream Imagine model ids
+  and legacy video storage prefix are deleted. `/imagine` and
+  `/imagine-video` are unchanged and use the Chutes-native `generate_media`
+  tool. The related configuration keys (`features.image_gen`,
+  `features.video_gen`, the model overrides, `zdr_video_output_s3`, and the
+  `imagine_tools_disabled` remote setting) are still parsed so existing
+  configuration files keep loading, but they are inert.
