April 2026 — Focused on reliability, performance, and extensibility of the chat agent. Delivered configurable agent context and per-chat prompts, introduced client-side tooling for dynamic tools, and improved cost analytics and telemetry, while stabilizing REST streaming and UI. These changes reduce workspace fetch latency, improve scalability to thousands of chats, and enable richer integrations with external tools while preserving backward compatibility where needed. Key features delivered: - Agent context/config via environment variables and local context discovery; new context-config endpoint to render resolved context for chat turns, enabling faster startup and workspace customization. - Per-chat system prompts and per-chat tool integrations; supports system_prompt field and per-chat prompts inserted as a system message, plus client-side dynamic tool support for chat API. - Total runtime analytics: surfaced total_runtime_ms across all cost queries for four analytics views (summary, per-model, per-chat, per-user) to improve accurate billing of agent compute time. - Parallelized message processing: ConvertMessagesWithFiles moved into parallel execution with g2 errgroup to overlap with instruction persistence and MCP/tool discovery, reducing end-to-end latency on file-heavy conversations. - Created timestamps: added CreatedAt to tool-call and tool-result ChatMessageParts to enable precise duration measurements and improved star-rate charts in UI. - Telemetry and observability: added telemetry for agent chats and messages to the snapshot pipeline for better product telemetry. - UI/UX and quality: ongoing refinements including read_skill markdown rendering, better message copy/edit UX, full-width chat layout toggle, and several stability fixes to adjust REST streaming and thinking disclosure. - CLI and workspace context management: added CLI commands to manage chat context from workspaces to simplify sharing and reusing context. - PWA reliability: persisted session cookie to disk to prevent PWA logout on reload. Major bugs fixed: - Thinking indicator reliability across WebSocket events; corrected render order and state transitions to ensure the indicator shows after sending a message and remains visible during appropriate streaming phases. - REST streaming stability: ensured streamed parts aren’t dropped when REST status briefly flips to pending/waiting, preventing UI flicker and data loss. - MCP server stability: prevented stdio MCP server subprocess from dying after connect by adjusting process lifecycle and context usage. - Sticky message UX: fixed clipping and fade behavior for sticky user messages to improve readability. - UI and test stability: hardened multiple CI flakes and flaky integration tests to improve overall test reliability. - Tool workflow reliability: fixed test flakiness and ensured event publication sequencing aligns with subscriptions. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly improved reliability, scalability, and observability of chat workflows, enabling safer deployment at larger scales and richer integrations with external tools. - Reduced latency for context fetch and message processing, improving user-perceived performance for long-running conversations. - Enabled more flexible and accurate billing, better telemetry, and richer UX features for agents and workspace users. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Go concurrency patterns (errgroup), SQL enhancements, and backend API design (context-config, per-chat prompts, chat cost analytics). - Frontend/UX improvements (TypeScript/React) with markdown rendering and improved copy/edit UX. - Environment-driven configuration (env vars) and local context discovery, enabling flexible deployments. - Telemetry instrumentation and robust testing practices, with a focus on reliability and performance under load.
