02 · RELEASE NOTES

What changed

wisp-science v0.20.0 puts context management under explicit user control. Automatic history rewriting is gone: Wisp warns near the context limit, while /compact archives the full conversation before reducing model context. This release also adds a read-only explore subagent, migrates bundled scientific skills to Wisp's native Run/tool contract, separates progress, reasoning, and tool activity in chat, and improves per-reply token accounting and model settings.

What's changed

  • Stop automatic token/age compaction; warn at 80% and let users run archive-first /compact from the CLI or desktop chat.
  • Cap shell, Python, and R results when they enter model context while retaining full UI output; archive isolated read-only exploration traces under .wisp/subagents/.
  • Migrate bundled GPU, figure, paper, literature, PDF, customization, and skill-authoring workflows away from the unavailable host.* SDK to explicit Wisp Runs and tools.
  • Add the journal-club-ppt workflow and catalog-wide checks for legacy host contracts and GPU Run lifecycles.
  • Render progress commentary, collapsed reasoning, and consecutive tool groups in wire order; show the current in-flight step even while Steps is collapsed.
  • Display and persist per-reply input, output, cache, and reasoning tokens across supported providers.
  • Add model-aware reasoning-effort choices, automatic known context/output limits, and drag-to-reorder model profiles.
  • Stop repeated tool-call loops, drop historical OpenAI-compatible reasoning replay, and reject binary files in read with actionable guidance.
  • Stabilize SQLite snapshots and write transactions, resolve Run cancellation races, and fix PPTX/XLSX preview sizing, PNG cropping, and cross-session side chat.
