# Changelog

All notable changes to the `@roo-code/cli` package will be documented in this file.

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

## [0.1.13] - 2026-03-02

### Added

- **Skills as Slash Commands**: Skills are now exposed as slash commands, so you can invoke skill workflows directly from command-style input.
- **Skill Fallback Execution**: When a slash command does not match a command file but matches a skill slug, the CLI can resolve and execute that skill path.

### Changed

- **Slash Command Resolution Priority**: Command precedence is preserved, with skill fallback only used when no matching slash command is found.

### Tests

- Added and updated tests for slash command + skill fallback behavior, including command precedence and duplicate skill-slug handling.

## [0.1.12] - 2026-03-02

### Fixed

- **Command Timeout Handling**: CLI runtime now correctly ignores model-provided background timeouts for commands, ensuring command lifetime is governed solely by the `--timeout` setting.

## [0.1.11] - 2026-03-02

### Added

- **Image Support in Stdin Stream**: The `start` and `message` commands in stdin-stream mode now support an optional `images` field (array of base64 data URIs) to attach images to prompts.

### Fixed

- **Upgrade Version Detection**: Fixed version detection in the `upgrade` command to correctly identify when updates are available.

## [0.1.10] - 2026-03-02

### Added

- **Command Exit Code in Events**: The `tool_result` event for command executions now includes an `exitCode` field, allowing CLI consumers to programmatically distinguish between successful and failed command executions without parsing output text.

## [0.1.9] - 2026-03-02

### Fixed

- **Stdin Stream Cancel Race**: Fixed a race condition during startup cancellation in stdin-stream mode that could cause unexpected behavior when canceling tasks immediately after starting them.

### Tests

- **Integration Test Suite**: Added comprehensive integration test suite for stdin-stream protocol covering cancel, followup, multi-message queue, and shutdown scenarios.

## [0.1.8] - 2026-03-02

### Changed

- **Command Execution Timeout**: Increased timeout for command execution to improve reliability for long-running operations.

### Fixed

- **Stdin Stream Queue Handling**: Fixed stdin stream queued messages and command output streaming to ensure messages are properly processed.

## [0.1.7] - 2026-03-01

### Fixed

- **Stdin Stream Control Flow**: Gracefully handle control-flow errors in stdin-stream mode to prevent unexpected crashes during cancellation and shutdown sequences.

### Changed

- **Type Definitions**: Refactored and simplified JSON event type definitions for better type safety.

## [0.1.6] - 2026-02-27

### Added

- **Consecutive Mistake Limit**: New `--mistake-limit` flag to configure the maximum number of consecutive mistakes before the agent pauses for intervention.

### Changed

- **Workspace-Scoped Sessions**: The `list sessions` command and `--resume` flag now only show and resume sessions from the current workspace directory.

### Fixed

- **Task Configuration Forwarding**: Task configuration (custom modes, disabled tools, etc.) passed via the stdin-prompt-stream protocol is now correctly forwarded to the extension host instead of being silently dropped.
- **Stream Error Recovery**: Improved recovery from streaming errors to prevent task interruption.

## [0.1.5] - 2026-02-26

### Added

- **Session History**: New `list sessions` subcommand to view recent CLI sessions with task IDs, timestamps, and initial prompts.
- **Session Resume**: New `--resume <taskId>` flag to continue a previous session from where it left off.
- **Upgrade Command**: New `upgrade` command to check for and install the latest CLI version.

## [0.1.4] - 2026-02-26

### Fixed

- **Exception Handling**: Improved recovery from unhandled exceptions in the CLI to prevent unexpected crashes.

## [0.1.3] - 2026-02-25

### Fixed

- **Task Resumption**: Fixed an issue where resuming a previously suspended task could fail due to state initialization timing in the extension host.

## [0.1.2] - 2026-02-25

### Changed

- **Streaming Deltas**: Tool use ask messages (command, tool, mcp) are now streamed as structured deltas instead of full snapshots in json-event-emitter for improved efficiency.
- **Task ID Propagation**: Task ID is now generated upfront and propagated through runTask/createTask so currentTaskId is available in extension state immediately.
- **Custom Tools**: Enabled customTools experiment in extension host.

### Fixed

- **Cancel Recovery**: Wait for resumable state after cancel before processing follow-up messages to prevent race conditions in stdin-stream.
- **Custom Tool Schema**: Provide valid empty JSON Schema for custom tools without parameters to fix strict-mode API validation.
- **Path Handling**: Skip paths outside cwd in RooProtectedController to avoid RangeError.
- **Retry Handling**: Silently handle abort during exponential backoff retry countdown.
- Fixed spelling/grammar and casing inconsistencies.

### Added

- **Telemetry Control**: Added `ROO_CODE_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1` environment variable to disable cloud telemetry.

## [0.1.1] - 2026-02-24

### Added

- **Roo Model Warmup**: When configured with the Roo provider, the CLI now proactively fetches and warms the model list during activation so that model information is available before the first prompt is sent. The warmup has a 10s timeout and failures are logged only in debug mode.
- **Unbound Provider**: Added Unbound as an available provider option.

## [0.1.0] - 2026-02-19

### Added

- **NDJSON Stdin Protocol**: Overhauled the stdin prompt stream from raw text lines to a structured NDJSON command protocol (`start`/`message`/`cancel`/`ping`/`shutdown`) with requestId correlation, ack/done/error lifecycle events, and queue telemetry. See [`stdin-stream.ts`](src/ui/stdin-stream.ts) for implementation.
- **List Subcommands**: New `list` subcommands (`commands`, `modes`, `models`) for programmatic discovery of available CLI capabilities.
- **Shared Utilities**: Added `isRecord` guard utility for improved type safety.

### Changed

- **Modularized Architecture**: Extracted stdin stream logic from `run.ts` into dedicated [`stdin-stream.ts`](src/ui/stdin-stream.ts) module for better code organization and maintainability.

### Fixed

- Fixed a bug in `Task.ts` affecting CLI operation.

## [0.0.55] - 2026-02-17

### Fixed

- **Stdin Stream Mode**: Fixed issue where new tasks were incorrectly being created in stdin-prompt-stream mode. The mode now properly reuses the existing task for subsequent prompts instead of creating new tasks.

## [0.0.54] - 2026-02-15

### Added

- **Stdin Stream Mode**: New `stdin-prompt-stream` mode that reads prompts from stdin, allowing batch processing and piping multiple tasks. Each line of stdin is processed as a separate prompt with streaming JSON output. See [`stdin-prompt-stream.ts`](src/ui/stdin-prompt-stream.ts) for implementation.

### Fixed

- Fixed JSON emitter state not being cleared between tasks in stdin-prompt-stream mode
- Fixed inconsistent user role for prompt echo partials in stream-json mode

## [0.0.53] - 2026-02-12

### Changed

- **Auto-Approve by Default**: The CLI now auto-approves all actions (tools, commands, browser, MCP) by default. Followup questions auto-select the first suggestion after a 60-second timeout.
- **New `--require-approval` Flag**: Replaced `-y`/`--yes`/`--dangerously-skip-permissions` flags with a new `-a, --require-approval` flag for users who want manual approval prompts before actions execute.

### Fixed

- Spamming the escape key to cancel a running task no longer crashes the cli.

## [0.0.52] - 2026-02-09

### Added

- **Linux Support**: Added support for `linux-arm64`.

## [0.0.51] - 2026-02-06

### Changed

- **Default Model Update**: Changed the default model from Opus 4.5 to Opus 4.6 for improved performance and capabilities

## [0.0.50] - 2026-02-05

### Added

- **Linux Support**: The CLI now supports Linux platforms in addition to macOS
- **Roo Provider API Key Support**: Allow `--api-key` flag and `ROO_API_KEY` environment variable for the roo provider instead of requiring cloud auth token
- **Exit on Error**: New `--exit-on-error` flag to exit immediately on API request errors instead of retrying, useful for CI/CD pipelines

### Changed

- **Improved Dev Experience**: Dev scripts now use `tsx` for running directly from source without building first
- **Path Resolution Fixes**: Fixed path resolution in [`version.ts`](src/lib/utils/version.ts), [`extension.ts`](src/lib/utils/extension.ts), and [`extension-host.ts`](src/agent/extension-host.ts) to work from both source and bundled locations
- **Debug Logging**: Debug log file (`~/.roo/cli-debug.log`) is now disabled by default unless `--debug` flag is passed
- Updated README with complete environment variable table and dev workflow documentation

### Changed

- Simplified authentication callback flow by using HTTP redirects instead of POST requests with CORS headers for improved browser compatibility

## [0.0.47] - 2026-01-17

### Added

- **Workspace flag**: New `-w, --workspace <path>` option to specify a custom workspace directory instead of using the current working directory
- **Oneshot mode**: New `--oneshot` flag to exit upon task completion, useful for scripting and automation (can also be saved in settings via [`CliSettings.oneshot`](src/types/types.ts))

### Changed

- Skip onboarding flow when a provider is explicitly specified via `--provider` flag or saved in settings
- Unified permission flags: Combined approval-skipping flags into a single option for Claude Code-like CLI compatibility
