Changelog - Webber API

All notable changes to the Webber API will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[Unreleased]

[1.1.0] - 2026-08-11

Added

• webber version command. It was implemented and imported but never registered, so the subcommand did not exist; the fuller output includes the resolved Ollama URL and model.

Fixed

• The Ollama content: null sanitiser raised AttributeError on first use. It looked up the parent client's chat getter via .fget, and openai now exposes chat as a cached_property. Any agent request would have failed before reaching the model.

Changed

• Default OLLAMA_AGENT_MODEL is now gemma4:e2b instead of mistral-nemo-large:latest, so a deployment without an explicit override no longer exhausts shared GPU memory
• BaseAgent is generic over its context type and run_stream is typed as AsyncIterator[str | StreamEvent], matching what callers already receive.

[1.0.1] - 2026-07-19

Changed

• Default TATLOCK_API_URL and SEARXNG_URL now use docker container names (http://tatlock:8000, http://searxng:8080) instead of host IP:port, for container-to-container traffic on the docker-dataplane network
• CI workflow now pushes Docker images via the git.schweitz.net registry route

[1.0.0] - 2026-01-15

Added

• Event-based streaming for task agent (StreamEvent objects instead of raw text)
  • New tools_streaming.py with all tools emitting structured events
  • Event types: tool_start, tool_done, thinking, response, error, done
• Retry logic when LLM responds without calling tools (max 2 retries)
  • Tracks tools_called counter on TaskContext
  • Stronger retry prompt forces tool use
• Working directory context injected into all agent prompts

Changed

• Hardened system prompts to enforce tool use before responding
  • Added "CRITICAL RULE" section requiring tool calls first
  • Made "MANDATORY WORKFLOW" more emphatic
• Updated explore and plan agents with _build_prompt_with_context() method

Fixed

• Agent path hallucination - now explicitly communicates working directory to LLM

Note

• Project paused: Local LLMs (Mistral Nemo 12B on available hardware) are not capable enough for reliable agentic tool use. Models frequently hallucinate responses instead of calling tools, even with prompt hardening and retry logic. Would require larger models (70B+) or cloud API integration to continue.

[0.4.2] - 2026-01-11

Added

• Retry logic for transient failures with exponential backoff
  • src/shared/retry.py - @with_retry decorator and retry_async() function
  • Retries on: timeout, connection errors, HTTP 429/5xx
  • Configurable: RETRY_MAX_ATTEMPTS, RETRY_BASE_DELAY, RETRY_MAX_DELAY
• Web search tool now automatically retries on network failures
• 29 retry tests (205 total tests passing)

[0.4.1] - 2026-01-11

Fixed

• Replace litellm with tiktoken for token counting (dependency conflict with pydantic-ai)
• Update documentation (README.md, architecture.md) with conversation layer info

Added

• Conversation persistence layer with SQLAlchemy async

  • Context summarization at 80% token threshold
  • XML-tagged context prompt building for agent injection
• REST API for multi-turn conversations

  • GET /conversations/ - List conversations
  • GET /conversations/{id} - Get conversation with history
  • POST /conversations/{id}/messages - Add message (triggers agent)
  • DELETE /conversations/{id} - Delete conversation
• New dependencies: sqlalchemy[asyncio]~=2.0.36, aiosqlite~=0.21.0, tiktoken>=0.12.0
• Config settings: database_url, summarization_threshold, keep_recent_messages
• 19 conversation tests, 6 token counting tests (176 total tests passing)

Changed
