Bound and observe agent runs
DetectLoops can interrupt repeated-action loops. Dataset evaluation gains a timeout for each task attempt, while PostgresSpendStore lets harness budgets share a PostgreSQL-backed store. These controls do not guarantee that every wasteful or unsafe run is detected.
Review changed defaults
CodeMode now defaults to a dynamic tool catalog, appending newly revealed tools instead of rewriting the cached prompt. The release adds an IPython-based Code Mode alongside the existing Monty implementation. Harness reminders default to an interval of ten rather than every request.
UI adapters can manage message history to avoid sending server-held history twice. The release also adds AG-UI protocol 1.0 support and provider compatibility fixes.
Check the complete compatibility notes before upgrading realtime or custom-capability integrations. Framework features and model-provider charges remain separate; no measured savings are claimed.
