 # Changelog
 
+## 0.26.0

+### Workers
+- **A limit part way no longer fails the run.** A worker that hit a plan's usage limit or a used-up quota after it had started (a Codex or Claude session limit, an Antigravity quota) failed the run, fallbacks or not: about a third of the runs that failed on a limit had a fallback that was never tried. Now the next worker takes the task over. An edit carries on in the same tree, told which files were already changed and to finish rather than start over; a read starts over. The run's cost is what both used, and the run's notes say who handed over.
+- **Audits have fallbacks.** An audit ran on one auditor only, and lost the audit when that one was rate-limited. It now falls back to the other auditors (the audit and cheap tiers, the fallbacks, the worker), never to the worker it audits, at any effort level.
+- **Cooldowns last as long as the limit.** "try again at 8:56 PM" and "resets 7:40pm (Europe/Istanbul)" are read as times of day (in the zone named, else the machine's), so an exhausted model is not tried again every 20 minutes until then. A used-up allowance with no time given (OpenCode's free usage limit) waits an hour instead of 20 minutes.
+- **"usage limit" and "session limit" count as limits on every worker** (they did on Claude Code and Codex only).
+- **`rankWorkers` ranks by the same kind of work.** A worker's record mixed its answers and its changes, though they part ways: in one machine's month of runs, `muse-spark` finished all 61 of its questions and 15 of its 19 changes, `space-bunny` 25 of 26 and 7 of 9. The chain is now ordered by the record of the run's kind (a question, a change or a review), and a change's record counts the reviews of it as its checks (spec met and nothing to fix), as an answer's counts its audits. The note says which record it used (`ranked by record on changes`).
+
+### Windows
+- **Git from Scoop gets the git shim.** Scoop's `shims\git.exe` is a launcher far from Git for Windows' `sh.exe`, so the shim (layer 1) was left out and only git's own config guarded the worker. Pitroom now follows the launcher's `git.shim` to the real git.
+- **`HEAD^` from PowerShell is `HEAD^` again.** Windows starts a batch file such as `git.cmd` through a `cmd /c` line, which removes a `^` and fills in a `%name%` that names a variable before the batch file runs: from PowerShell, `git show HEAD^` showed `HEAD`, and `--format=%cd%n` got the current folder, where git.exe would have got them as written. When Windows starts `git.cmd` itself, the shim now takes the arguments from that raw line; a `cmd /d /s /c` line, which may hold more than one command, keeps `%*`. An unquoted `& | < >` is still acted on by that `cmd /c` line, as for any batch file.
+
+### Savings
+- **No finished run is missing from the savings ledger.** A run whose process was killed between its final record and its ledger line, and a worker that crashed, were never counted (about 1.5% of finished runs). `pitroom savings`, `pitroom history` and the dashboard now record the finished runs the ledger missed, each once.
+- **A done run counts even when its CLI reported no steps** (some OpenCode reviews): it answered, so it is in "Finished". Runs that failed before reaching the model stay out, as before.
+- **An estimated cost says so.** `pitroom history` has a COST column, and `pitroom savings --models` its cost: a cost the worker's CLI did not report (Codex, Gemini) and that was estimated from a price (your `workerPrices`, else the catalog's) reads `~$0.40`, a reported one `$0.40`, a free one `free`. `history --json` rows carry `cost` and `costEstimated`.
+- **Prices from your agent**: `pitroom_info` has a `prices` topic: the primary's price the savings are measured against and the price each worker in use gets, or the `worker` named. `pitroom prices WORKER…` does the same on the command line, and now also prints the primary's price.
+
+### Docs and tests
+- **The review benchmark measures false alarms.** 16 new packages make a change that cannot alter what the code does (a comparison mirrored, `i < n` to `n > i`, only where it is the same expression; Pitroom's own also in its committed `dist/`), looking like the planted bugs. `big-pickle` raised no false alarm in 13 reviews; `nemotron-3-ultra` raised 4 in 14 and `mimo-v2.6-flash` 2 in 13, each filing a change it called harmless as Important for style. The README's table has the new column. `test/bench-equiv.test.mjs` checks the rule: what it rejects, and that each mirrored expression gives the same value for thousands of inputs.
+- The benchmark's scorer read a review with no Critical heading (it went straight to Important) as having no findings: a few found bugs were counted as misses (`nemotron-3-ultra` 97% to 100%, `muse-spark` 93% to 97%, `longcat` 83% to 86%).

 - **A crew, not just one worker.** `pitroom crew` starts several workers at once, `pitroom watch --json` streams one line per change so your agent follows them live, `pitroom wait -g` collects every answer, `pitroom apply -g` lands isolated patches in order. Up to 20 workers run at once by default (`maxParallel`, 30 at most), the rest queue, and the fallback chain absorbs free-tier rate limits; parallel writers are refused.
 - **Faster, not only cheaper.** Workers run in the background and side by side (up to 20 at once) while your agent keeps working, so slow reading and review stop blocking it. In the [benchmark](#benchmarks), 470 s of worker time finished in 156 s of wall clock, about 3× faster than one question after another, and your agent's own context stayed small.
 - **Free first, dearer only when needed.** Runs and plan tasks start on the `cheap` tier, OpenCode's free model; `standard` (Codex) and `capable` (Claude Code) are for tasks that need them, and an optional `review` tier names who reviews. Gemini CLI with a free Google AI Studio key is one more cheap worker (small daily quota per model). `pitroom models` shows what each worker offers, the effort levels (`low` … `xhigh`) each model accepts, what you say it costs (`costs`) and what it used; `--effort` sets the level per run.

 **Does a review find a planted bug?** A bug was changed into real code (an inverted check, a swapped `&&`/`||`, a flipped `return`) in React, Django, Kubernetes and Pitroom itself, committed as a bare "tidy", and `pitroom review` was asked to review the commit. 29 packages (14 with the bug alone, 15 with the bug and three comment-only edits around it). A review counts as a find when a Critical or Important finding names the changed file and either cites a line within 5 or names the changed identifier or its function; "exact line" is the strict version (within 3).

-Almost every model found almost every bug, so this test separates them on speed and precision, not on whether they can review: `muse-spark` described the right bug but often quoted a wrong line number (57% exact), and `gpt-6-sol` and `muse-spark` were the fastest by a wide margin. Only three models finished all 29: the other four are scored on the reviews that ran before a provider limit (the free tier's usage limit, and the Codex plan's, which `gpt-6-sol` reached), and the rest are left out, not counted as misses, so their rows rest on 9 to 14 reviews. Every change is only 2 to 5 lines, which is easy; there is no false-alarm rate (the comment-only "clean" packages turned out to contain comments that were really wrong, so they cannot show one); and React, Django and Kubernetes may be in a model's training data. The harness and every raw review are in [`benchmarks/review-bugs`](benchmarks/review-bugs).
+Almost every model found almost every bug, so finding them does not separate the models; leaving the harmless change alone does. `big-pickle` never raised a false alarm. `nemotron-3-ultra` and `mimo-v2.6-flash` each said, in their own words, that the change altered nothing, and still filed it as Important ("a Yoda condition, inconsistent with the rest of the file"), where the review template puts style under Minor; an agent that acts on Important findings would have reverted a harmless commit. `muse-spark` described the right bug but often quoted a wrong line number (62% exact). The models with a dash were not available any more, or out of quota, when the harmless packages were added; Codex `gpt-6-sol` reached its plan's usage limit after 9 reviews, and the others' left-out reviews hit the free tier's limit, so they are not counted as misses. Every change is only 2 to 5 lines, which is easy; the harmless edits are all of one kind (a mirrored comparison); and React, Django and Kubernetes may be in a model's training data.

Git installed with Scoop works too (its `shims\git.exe` is followed to the real one, and so to its `sh.exe`). PowerShell starts `git.cmd` through a `cmd /c` line, which removes a `^` and fills in a `%name%` that names a variable before the shim runs; the shim takes the arguments from the raw line instead, so `git show HEAD^` shows the parent, not `HEAD`.

 - **Resources.** The latest runs are listed as `pitroom://run/<id>` (the report) and, for runs that changed files, `pitroom://run/<id>/patch` (the exact diff), so a client can attach one to a conversation. A client can **subscribe** to a run (`resources/subscribe`) and is told when it changes state (`notifications/resources/updated`), and every client is told when the newest run changes (`notifications/resources/list_changed`), so it need not poll; over HTTP these arrive on the session's event stream (a GET).
 - **Prompts.** `research`, `implement`, `review` and `crew` say how to use Pitroom for that job (in Claude Code they appear as `/mcp__pitroom__research`, …), and every skill is a prompt of the same name (`using-pitroom`, `pitroom-research`, …), so a client without skills gets the same guidance. The server's instructions tell the agent to use the skills alongside the tools.

 - **Over HTTP.** `pitroom mcp --http [--port N]` (default 7117) serves the same tools at `http://127.0.0.1:7117/mcp` for clients that connect to a URL, for example `claude mcp add --transport http pitroom http://127.0.0.1:7117/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ~/.local/state/pitroom/mcp-token)"` (the command is printed when it starts). It is a local service: it listens on 127.0.0.1 only, needs the bearer token (made on first start, kept at `<state dir>/mcp-token` with owner-only permissions, or set with `PITROOM_MCP_TOKEN`), and refuses a Host or Origin that is not local, so a web page cannot use it. Anyone who has the token can run workers as you, so keep it private. It works in the directory it was started in (printed when it starts; `-d DIR` for another). Each client has its own session; a call that asks for progress is answered as an event stream. Ending a session or stopping the server ends the waiting, not the runs: collect them with `pitroom_wait` or the CLI. `pitroom install --mcp` registers the stdio command, which needs no token and no running process.

 Pitroom knows no vendor prices of its own and, unless you turn on `priceFeed` (see the config notes), fetches none, so a cost is what you enter: `"costs": {"codex:gpt-6-sol": 1, "codex:gpt-6.1-sol": 2}` in the config, in any unit (they are only compared; dollar prices for the receipts of Codex and Gemini go in `workerPrices`, see the config notes). `pitroom doctor` then prints the cost of the models in use and says when you priced a cheaper one of the same worker. A target that names only an effort (`codex:#low`) uses the model from `models`; a Codex or Claude Code worker with no pinned model gets a warning, because it would run the vendor's own default, which can change and cost more. `--effort LEVEL` sets the level for one run; your agent picks model and level from `pitroom models` (cheapest that fits: `low` for lookups, `medium` for ordinary changes, `high` for reviews).

 - `mcpDash`: whether a run that an MCP client starts, and that is still going after a few seconds, also starts the dashboard and returns its address (default `true`; `PITROOM_MCP_DASH=0` or `"mcpDash": false` turns it off), see [the MCP server](#1-install-pick-your-agent).
 - `auditFix` and `auditFocus`: send a disputed answer back to its worker for one correction, and lean the audit sample to list and count questions and to disputed workers (both default `false`; `PITROOM_AUDIT_FIX`, `PITROOM_AUDIT_FOCUS`), see [Audits](#audits).
 - `budgetDaily`: what the workers may cost per day, in USD (as their CLIs report it, or estimated from `workerPrices` and the price catalog; audits and corrections included). Past 80% a run warns; once it is spent only workers that cost nothing still run (a price of `0`, or a worker whose recent runs all cost exactly 0), a run with none in its chain is refused (exit 3), and audits and corrections do not start. A run that is still going counts with what it has used so far; runs started at the same moment count from their first finished step, so a crew can still end a day a little over. `0` allows only free workers. Default: no budget (`PITROOM_BUDGET_DAILY`).
-- `rankWorkers`: order the worker and its fallbacks by their record of the last 30 days: the share of runs that ended well (rate limits left out), times the share of audited answers that were confirmed (with 3 or more). Only workers with 5 runs or more move, among the places such workers hold, in steps of 10%; a worker you name (`-W`, `-m`, a tier) is never reordered, and the run says when the first worker changed (default `false`; `PITROOM_RANK_WORKERS=1`).
+- `rankWorkers`: order the worker and its fallbacks by their record of the last 30 days on the same kind of work (a question, a change or a review: a model can answer well and still leave changes unfinished): the share of runs that ended well (rate limits left out), times the share of checked work that held up, with 3 checks or more (for an answer its audits, for a change the reviews of it that found the spec met and nothing to fix). Only workers with 5 runs or more of that kind move, among the places such workers hold, in steps of 10%; a worker you name (`-W`, `-m`, a tier) is never reordered, and the run says when the first worker changed (default `false`; `PITROOM_RANK_WORKERS=1`).
 - `countRateLimits`: whether runs that failed on a rate limit or quota count in `pitroom history stats` and the dashboard's Stats (default `false`: they are left out of the run counts, success rates, times and tokens and shown apart as rate-limited, since they say nothing about the worker's work; `true` counts them as not ok).
