Full news history for ClawCodex. The README News section keeps only the 10 most recent items.

  • 2026-06-24 (v0.6.0): ClawCodex v0.6.0 — interactive TUI REPL parity — a batch of input ports brings the Python REPL to parity with the ink reference: a working slash-command menu (execute / complete / filter like the ink REPL), the sparkle spinner with a live token + elapsed busy row, context-aware prompt footer hints (interrupt / bash / grammar), the ? shortcuts help panel, an @ file-mention dropdown with in-place splice, double-press Ctrl+C / Ctrl+D to exit, Ctrl+R history search + double-Esc clear-draft, a [Pasted text #N +K lines] large-paste placeholder, and the completed command queue (drain queued prompts + dim preview). Login docs now list all 25 providers (#383).
  • 2026-06-23: One-click installer — curl -fsSL https://clawcodex.app/install.sh | bash installs uv (no sudo), provisions Python 3.10+, clones to ~/.clawcodex, creates a lock-pinned venv, and registers clawcodex on PATH; ships status / doctor / verify / update / uninstall subcommands, is safe to re-run, and works on macOS / Linux / WSL.
  • 2026-06-21: 18 new LLM providers — the registry grows 7 → 25 (#377) — a data-driven ProviderSpec registry adds 18 OpenAI-compatible backends (nvidia-nim, fireworks, together, moonshot/Kimi, novita, siliconflow, deepinfra, stepfun, arcee, huggingface, volcengine, xiaomi-mimo, atlascloud, wanjie-ark, plus local ollama / vllm / sglang) alongside the hand-written providers; alias-aware config resolution, standard env-var key fallback (e.g. TOGETHER_API_KEY), and keyless local servers.
  • 2026-06-18: DeepSeek prefix-cache exploitation — a HUGE token-cost win (#363) — ClawCodex now keeps its request prefix byte-stable across turns so DeepSeek's automatic prompt-prefix cache covers the entire system + tools + history span. Per-request-volatile sections (env, the mutable MEMORY.md body, plan-mode, etc.) are relocated to a trailing <system-reminder> after the conversation history, so the cached prefix never breaks even when memory/env change. We also register DeepSeek's 1M-token context window, map its prompt-cache usage onto the Anthropic cache_read_input_tokens convention, and surface a per-model prompt-cache hit-rate + cost in /cost. Why this is enormous — the token economics: Claude Fable 5 runs $10 / $50 per 1M input/output tokens, while DeepSeek-V4-Pro is just $0.435 / $0.87 — already ~23× cheaper on input and ~57× cheaper on output. And because cache-hit input is billed at only 10% of the normal input rate, the long, context-heavy sessions that agentic coding actually produces pay just ~$0.0435 per 1M input tokens — roughly 230× cheaper than Fable 5 input. The token efficiency ClawCodex unlocks here is HUGE. Everything is gated to the deepseek provider — every other provider's request is byte-for-byte unchanged. Follow-up: truncated tool-call argument JSON is now best-effort recovered in the shared OpenAI-compatible layer, so an interrupted DeepSeek stream keeps its partial tool args instead of dropping them to {} (#364).
  • 2026-06-16: Z.ai GLM-5.2 support (#343) — new zai provider for Z.ai's OpenAI-compatible GLM Coding Plan (https://api.z.ai/api/coding/paas/v4), shipping GLM-5.1 and the GLM-5.2 preview; GLM-5.2 delivers coding capability comparable to Claude Opus 4.7. First app built end-to-end with GLM-5.2 — a FIFA World Cup 2026 intro page (animated hero + live countdown, three host nations, 16 stadiums, tournament format, and record-breaking facts).
  • 2026-06-11: Codebase stats — Total Python files: 1,093 files; Total Lines of Python Code: 233,520 lines (up from 213,777 lines on 2026-05-29; ~+19.7k lines from the interactive command-system batch, the dynamic workflow engine + /deep-research, and the Tavily web-tooling refresh).
  • 2026-06-10 to 2026-06-11: Dynamic workflow engine + /deep-research (#262–#264, #266–#271) — Python workflow engine core (agent()/parallel()/pipeline()/phase(), journaling, resume) wired end-to-end: Workflow tool, /workflows TUI dialog + status-line pill, per-agent retry, worktree isolation, result delivery, and the bundled /deep-research harness registered as a slash command. Reliability: LLM read timeout applied centrally to all openai-compatible providers (#269), parallel agents no longer serialize on the event loop (#270), and the deep-research synthesize step forbids tools so the report-writer can't loop (#271). Follow-ups: workflow max-turns cap fix (#272), deep-research verdict-enum fix (#273), rich /workflows live monitor with phase progress + per-agent stats (#287).
  • 2026-06-10: Web tooling refresh (#265) — dead DuckDuckGo scraping replaced with a Tavily-backed WebSearch plus config-backed secrets storage; WebFetch rebuilt with deterministic markdown/text/html extraction (borrowed from opencode).
  • 2026-05-30 to 2026-06-09: Interactive command-system parity (#230–#261) — interactive ports of /theme, /effort, /model, /logo, /mcp, /tasks, /diff, /export, /output-style, /statusline, /release-notes, /copy, /vim, /memory, /stickers, and /rename, built on a new prompt-text primitive and interactive command bridge; skill registration and model tool-exposure wiring; the session-persistence producer (SessionPersister + agent-bridge wiring); plus extended thinking support (#249) and a model error-swallow fix (#250).
  • 2026-05-29: Codebase stats — Total Python files: 977 files; Total Lines of Python Code: 213,777 lines (up from 183,768 lines on 2026-05-21; ~+30k lines from the remote-bridge parity port (phases 0–18) plus the /buddy companion subsystem and the CLI transport layer).
  • 2026-05-29: Remote-bridge parity + CLI transports (#200–#226) — full port of the remote-control bridge across phases 0–18: bridge API client, child-CLI session runner, env-less v2 orchestrator, multi-session daemon, worktree spawn, in-place reconnect, perpetual mode with crash recovery, JWT refresh, and the v1 WebSocketTransport / SerialBatchEventUploader write path with hybrid dispatch. Plus the CLI transport factory, coalescing worker-state uploader, and RemoteIO bridge (#226); new /buddy virtual-companion command — hatch / pet / status / mute (#225).
  • 2026-05-21: Codebase stats — Total Python files: 890 files; Total Lines of Python Code: 183,768 lines (up from 177,428 lines on 2026-05-16; net −4 files from the src/tool_system/agent_loop.py consolidation into src/query/query.py).
  • 2026-05-21: /advisor token-efficient coding mode (#181–#193) — pair a cheap worker (haiku-4-5, $1/$5 per Mtok) with an expensive reviewer (opus-4-7, $5/$25) consulted only at decision points; ~6× cheaper than opus-only on typical sessions. Explicit <provider>:<model> syntax, cross-provider routing (e.g. deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro worker + claude-opus-4-7 advisor via litellm), and live worker/advisor token + USD cost in the status bar.
  • 2026-05-16: Codebase stats — Total Python files: 894 files; Total Lines of Python Code: 177,428 lines (up from 167,034 lines on 2026-05-14; ~+10.4k lines in two days, mostly ESC-cancellation hardening + image-handling parity).
  • 2026-05-16: Image-handling parity (Tier C, #149/#154/#155/#156) — Read tool TS image pipeline (sniff, resize/compress, base64 cap); @image.png mentions inline as real ImageBlocks instead of mojibake; cross-provider Anthropic image/document → OpenAI image_url/file translation; pre-API base64 size validation in BaseProvider.
  • 2026-05-16: Subagent + Bash reliability — custom subagents now discovered from .claude/agents/ (#151); Bash tool_result distinguishes timeout from ESC-abort so the model can tell the two apart (#152); async-subagent AbortController isolation pinned by regression tests so a parent's ESC doesn't fire a sibling's abort listeners (#153); cancelled tool_result reliably surfaces REJECT_MESSAGE on the production path (#150).
  • 2026-05-15 to 2026-05-16: ESC cancellation hardening across providers (#144–#148) — mid-stream cancellation closes the streaming HTTP response within ~50ms for every supported provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, GLM, Minimax, DeepSeek, OpenRouter); shared StreamAbortGuard helper extracted; LiteLLM worker-thread iteration fixes long-tail hangs on OpenAI-compat backends.
  • 2026-05-15: SWE-bench Verified result — clawcodex resolves 291/499 (58.2%) vs openclaude 265/499 (53.0%) on Gemini 2.5 Pro under the standardized harness (see eval/ for the comparison framework — cumulative batching, parallel --predict-workers, full stream-json trace capture).
  • 2026-05-15: Native Gemini provider — src/providers/gemini_provider.py via the google-genai SDK. Schema sanitization keeps OpenAI-style tool definitions compatible with Gemini's stricter Schema (oneOf/additionalProperties stripped, polymorphic params coerced to string).
  • 2026-05-14: Codebase stats — Total Python files: 837 files; Total Lines of Python Code: 167,034 lines.
  • 2026-05-14: ESC cancellation latency fix (#130) — pressing ESC now cancels in-flight Bash commands and streaming responses within ~50ms, on top of the diff color-bar full-width render fix (#129) and the bypass-permissions outside-paths fix (#128).
  • 2026-05-12: Bootstrap + architecture docs — new architecture overview at docs/ARCHITECTURE.md; production bootstrap port (memoized init(), trust boundary, unified launch_repl(args), --bare fast path, schema migration runner); main query loop and agent loop routed through dispatch_full with deferred tool loading.
  • 2026-05-11 (v0.5.0): ClawCodex v0.5.0 released — rebrand to ClawCodex across user-visible UI; reactive state subsystem ported (signals, store, session context, cost tracker, 1h cache eligibility); API layer hardened (output-token cap, request-id injection, message-level cache breakpoints, Haiku fast path, watchdog + non-streaming fallback, retry-with-stream); agent loop foundation (typed terminal, media recovery, blocking-limit guards, token budget, stop hooks, model fallback, continuation nudge); refreshed README screenshot.
  • 2026-05-10: MCP subsystem landed — full Model Context Protocol support with OAuth wiring, HTTPS, XSS hardening, and async I/O; passed a multi-pass security review.
