 - **Agent-tracing dashboard.** Added `pythinker dashboard` — a local web UI for inspecting sessions, wire events, context messages, tool statistics, and usage over time. It is also reachable from the interactive shell via the `/reports` slash command (aliased `/dashboard`).
 - **Gemini finish_reason is now sticky once truncation is detected.** A second candidate with any non-`MAX_TOKENS` finish reason no longer overwrites a previously captured `"length"` signal at either the streaming or non-streaming path in the Google GenAI provider.
 - **Budget-exhausted and stuck-loop messages are now visible in the shell.** Both handoff messages were appended to context but never sent to the wire, so the interactive shell showed no feedback when a spend ceiling or stuck-loop exit fired. Both now emit a `TextPart` wire event so the message appears in the shell.
 - **Dark-theme prompt_toolkit border colors now match the TUI token constants.** Six stale slate hex values in `_PROMPT_STYLE_DARK` diverged from the current `border` and `border_muted` token values; they are now in sync and a parity test binds them going forward.
 - **Non-review successful agents now show a summary preview in the agent tree.** Completed subagents with a `summary_preview` now display a dim preview line in the RunAgents tree renderer (review runs continue to use the findings table instead).
 - **Non-string values in `required_mcp_servers` YAML are silently dropped.** Integers, booleans, and `null` entries were previously coerced to strings (`"1"`, `"False"`, `"None"`), creating permanently unsatisfiable MCP server names. Only actual string entries are now retained.

 ## 0.44.0 (2026-06-13)
 
 - **Toggle auto-update from the CLI.** Running `/update` now opens a menu — *Check for updates now* (the default, so a bare `/update` + Enter still checks immediately) or *Auto-update on startup* with its current state — so the toggle is discoverable without knowing a subcommand. `/update auto on|off` still sets it directly, and `/update auto` with no value opens an interactive On/Off picker (cursor defaulted to the current setting). The same toggle appears in the interactive `/settings` panel, and `pythinker info` reports the auto-update status. All surfaces show the *effective* state — an external override (`PYTHINKER_CLI_NO_AUTO_UPDATE` or a source checkout) is surfaced as the reason, renders the `/settings` row read-only, and makes `/update auto` report the read-only state rather than popping a no-op picker, so the toggle is never a silent no-op.

-- **Toggle auto-update from the CLI.** `/update` now opens a menu — *Check for updates now* (the default, so a bare `/update` still checks immediately) or *Auto-update on startup* with its current state. `/update auto on|off` sets it directly, the same toggle appears in `/settings`, and `pythinker info` reports the status. Every surface shows the *effective* state, so an external override (`PYTHINKER_CLI_NO_AUTO_UPDATE` or a source checkout) is surfaced as the reason instead of silently no-opping.
-- **No more spurious "could not close the program" error on Windows updates.** The native installer now waits for the launching `pythinker.exe` to fully exit (its PID is passed via `/PID`) before its Restart Manager scan runs, so the scan no longer races the launcher's teardown into a false "close the program and retry" dialog. The update already succeeded in that case; now it completes cleanly.
-- **Simpler Windows update path.** With every shipped Windows install updating through the native installer, the Windows-only detached-spawn upgrade helper is gone; the remaining pip/uv/pipx path runs the upgrade inline and surfaces real command output and errors instead of a fire-and-forget process.
+- **Agent-tracing dashboard.** `pythinker dashboard` opens a local web UI for inspecting sessions, wire events, context messages, tool statistics, and usage over time — also reachable from the shell via `/reports` or `/dashboard`.
+- **Project instructions immune to compaction.** `AGENTS.md` is now delivered as a fresh `<system-reminder>` on every request instead of being baked into the system prompt, so compaction can never summarize it away and the token budget can never truncate it. `pythinker system-prompt` shows the assembled prompt with the reminder below a labeled divider.
+- **Accept-edits mode.** `/accept-edits` auto-approves reversible in-workspace file edits while still prompting for shell, destructive, config, and sensitive host-file writes (`.git/hooks`, `.zshrc`, `.ssh`, etc.) — never swept into the auto-approve tier.
+- **Recover from output-token truncation.** When a turn is cut off by the output-token limit, the model is nudged to continue from where it stopped (up to `loop_control.max_truncation_recoveries` times, default 3) instead of treating a half-finished answer as complete.
