- Switching branches (navigate, select) no longer waits for the main conversation: a branch left while
running keeps working in the background, read-only with Stop allowed.
- Branch rows in the sidebar show the working dot; background branches' answers count as unread.
- Fence refusals name a running background branch instead of a subagent #N.
- Subagent reports go to the conversation that sent the message; team send to "parent" goes to the
conversation that last spawned or messaged the subagent.
Pages and TUIs loaded before a deploy hold the contracts they were built
with; without accepts they wait unbound (contract_mismatch) until they
reload. The histories are now written with evolve from the released
versions, and the providers accept them:
- Sessions 3 (rows without main and branches) and 4 (a null branch label
reads as the session title); v4's treeSelf arguments pass as they are
- Catalog 2 and 3, the same row mappings
- SessionTree 1: the tree without labels (no branches, no node
conversation); rename is new and needs nothing
test/p2/contract-versions.test.ts binds the released declarations
against the current server.
p2.main version 2 stores a label per branch: { conversation, label }.
A new branch is labelled in the commit that forks it, with the start of
the message the owner picked (the answer for "Branch from here", the
edited user message for "Edit"). Conversation 1 keeps null, which every
UI shows as the session title. Version 1 migrates to null labels; at
start the worker fills the other branches once from their fork points.
- SessionTree v2: rename (owner), Tree.branches, TreeNode.conversation
- Sessions v5 / Catalog v4: a branch label may be null
- the worker reports p2.main changes; the derived labels are gone
- web: a pencil beside each sidebar branch row opens a rename sheet
- TUI: /tree shows branch labels; Shift+L renames the selected branch
Each branch is a top-level conversation forked from another at an entry;
the session-scoped p2.main document lists them and names the current one.
Earlier branches are read-only. The main agent's per-agent state
(subagents, artifacts, voice and chat mode, pending move) stays on
conversation 1 for every branch.
- tree plugin: SessionTree (tree, navigate, select); the worker reports
main and branches to the catalog (Sessions v4, catalog schema 4)
- TUI: /tree and double Escape (pi's default "tree"), a tree selector
adapted from coding-agent
- web: Edit on user messages, Branch from here on answers, branch rows
under the session in the sidebar
- main-agent checks use the branch list instead of conversation 1
- search indexes each branch's own entries
