pi-crew 0.1.49 → 0.1.51

package/CHANGELOG.md

@@ -2,6 +2,24 @@
 
 ## Unreleased
 
+## 0.1.51
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Stale foreground spinner** — Working message/spinner now always clears when foreground run completes, even if session generation changed during the run.
+- **Completed-run widget grace period (8s)** — Runs that just completed stay visible in the widget for 8 seconds so users can see results before the widget hides.
+
+## 0.1.50
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Parallel execution** — Raised default concurrency (implementation 2→4, review 2→3, research 2→3). Fixed `defaultWorkflowConcurrency()` routing bug where review/default both returned the implementation value.
+- **Planner prompt** — Added explicit "MAXIMIZE PARALLELISM" instruction with examples, so planner models produce parallel phases instead of sequential.
+- **20 review findings** — 6 CRITICAL (optional chaining crash, env leak, path redaction, RPC validation, hook JSON safety, temp dir security), 6 HIGH (unsafe casts, busy-wait CPU, timestamp merge guard, prompt injection delimiter, binary validation), 5 MEDIUM, 3 LOW.
+- **Widget flicker** — Pinned preloaded manifests to widget component model to prevent manifestCache TTL race. Scoped snapshotCache invalidation to specific run instead of clearing all.
+- **Delegation policy** — Rewritten as mandatory decision table with concrete thresholds (>3 files read or >2 files edit = must delegate). Injected into every session via system prompt.
+- **ignoreMethod option** — New config to write ignore entries to `.git/info/exclude` instead of `.gitignore` (Closes #2).

 Rules:
-- Choose the smallest effective number of subagents.
-- Use parallel tasks in the same phase only when their work is independent.
-- Later phases depend on all tasks in the previous phase.
+- **MAXIMIZE PARALLELISM**: Put independent tasks in the SAME phase so they run concurrently.
+  For example, if a task needs exploration + implementation + review, use 3 phases:
+  Phase 1: explorers (2-3 in parallel), Phase 2: executors (2-3 in parallel), Phase 3: reviewers (2 in parallel).
+  NEVER create sequential phases when tasks are independent.
+- Choose the smallest effective number of subagents per phase.
+- Tasks within the same phase run in parallel; phases run sequentially.
 - Include verification/review tasks when implementation is requested.
 - Do not include more than 12 total subagents; split or summarize oversized plans instead.
+- A good plan for a complex task has 2-4 phases with 2-4 parallel tasks each.
+- A simple task may have just 1-2 phases with 1-2 tasks.
