This patch release keeps v1.1.0's persistent daemon/client model and tightens the
places that matter during everyday terminal work: copying commands, typing into the
start page, and recovering sessions across daemon restarts.Highlights
Click-to-copy shell commands
- Click a
bashorfishcode block to copy its pasteable command to the clipboard. - Inline comments are removed only when they are shell comments (quoted hashes and
escaped hashes stay intact); comment-only lines, trailing whitespace, and trailing
blank lines are left out of the copied text. - Actionable text — including
read,write,edit,multiedit, andbashtool
rows, reasoning traces, and shell commands — gets a jagged underline while hovered.
The hover state remains visible while the pointer is still, and shell fences only
underline the exact command prefix that will be copied. - Clipboard writes use the native
wl-copy,xclip, orxselhelper asynchronously
with a timeout, so an unavailable clipboard cannot freeze the TUI.
A calmer, faster start page
- Typing a new prompt no longer makes the green resume highlight flash back in or
compete with the composer. Roster polling pauses while the composer has text, and
the start-page preview is cached without making wrapped input lag. - The old greeting is replaced by a centered four-line
figlet -f small evilcode
wordmark in mauve, crossed by a faster, smoother animated white wave. - The wordmark, preview, and session row stay aligned across terminal widths, with
updated probe goldens for the new layout.
Sessions shut down cleanly
- A detached session with no open window and no active turn is kept hydrated for ten
minutes. After that, evilcode writes a clean exit, consolidates memory, unloads the
live runtime, and leaves the durable transcript ready for a later resume. - Daemon shutdown now distinguishes an idle or between-turn session from a session
that was actively making a turn: only the latter remains crash-detectable on resume. - Session teardown and in-flight builds are bounded so a stuck local filesystem cannot
wedge daemon shutdown.
Reliability and polish
- Partial streamed answers survive provider errors and interrupts instead of vanishing
from the durable conversation. - A timeout owned by one tool is no longer mistaken for a user interruption of the
whole turn. - Daemon session builds use isolated configuration snapshots, Codex tool calls with
missing IDs are handled safely, and deterministic replays no longer risk deleting an
existing conversation log. - The composer now keeps a visible caret, and the TUI avoids rebuilding settled
transcript/start-page work on every keystroke.
Documentation
The README was rewritten to be more direct about what evilcode is, how its daemon and
sessions work, what is optional, and how to contribute. It also calls out the project's
AI-assisted origin and its intentionally opinionated, still-evolving shape.Install or update
