Changelog

​

Feb 26, 2026

• Timezone configuration — new OLLIM_TIMEZONE environment variable with automatic system local detection fallback; replaces hardcoded America/Los_Angeles across all timestamp-producing modules
• GitHub Actions CI — lint (ruff check, ruff format --check, ty check) and test (pytest) jobs across Python 3.11, 3.12, and 3.13
• Pre-commit hooks — ruff --fix, ruff format, and ty check run on every commit
• All 25 ty type checker diagnostics resolved
• .env.example template added for onboarding

​

Feb 25, 2026

• Extended thinking parameter passed to forked background clients — background forks now inherit the thinking setting from their parent
• Stale migration code removed
• Code-only state files moved to ~/.ollim-bot/state/ — separates infrastructure files from the agent’s working directory
• Owner identity guard on all bot entry points
• DM-only operation enforced in bot.py
• Bot presence set to “Watching your DMs” (always offline)
• 1-ping-per-session limit enforced for background forks via contextvar
• allow_ping: false now hides ping tools from the SDK tool list entirely
• Google API errors surfaced in button handlers instead of silently failing

​

Feb 24, 2026

• Extended thinking enabled in interactive forks
• Context quality gate added to system prompt — agent evaluates whether context is sufficient before responding
• Anti-slop guidelines added to design philosophy

​

Feb 23, 2026

• Webhook HTTP endpoints — external services trigger background forks via authenticated HTTP requests with Haiku screening, payload validation, and content fencing
• Ping budget refill-on-read bucket — replaced flat daily counter with a token bucket that refills over time (capacity: 5, refill_rate: 90 minutes per token)
• Forward schedule injected into background fork preambles so the agent sees upcoming jobs
• Per-job tool restrictions (disallowed_tools) for background routines and reminders
• Permission approval flow fixed with anyio primitives to prevent hangs

​

Feb 22, 2026

• BgForkConfig — new update_main_session (modes: always, on_ping, freely, blocked) and allow_ping fields for routines and reminders
• Stop hook respects update_main_session mode, controlling whether background forks can write pending updates
• Quiet-when-busy — background forks soft-block non-critical pings when the user is in an active conversation
• 30-minute timeout for background forks to prevent runaway sessions
• Relative timestamps added to background update context
• Concurrent append_update race condition fixed

​

Feb 21, 2026

• Background fork resume — buttons on background fork embeds open an interactive fork that continues the background session’s context
• /thinking slash command to toggle extended thinking mid-conversation
• model and isolated fields added to routines, reminders, and chain context — per-job model and isolation overrides
• Fork message tracking (track_message) wired into streamer and MCP tools
• Subagent prompts (gmail-reader, history-reviewer, responsiveness-reviewer) rewritten for clarity

​

Feb 20, 2026

• Session event logging — SessionEvent dataclass tracks session lifecycle (created, compacted, swapped, cleared, bg_fork)
• /interrupt command and agent interruption on fork entry tool calls
• Ping budget — daily limit on background fork pings with /ping-budget slash command; budget status injected into background fork preambles
• Reply-to-fork — replying to a background fork message opens an interactive fork with that session

​

Feb 19, 2026

• Permission management — dontAsk mode (default), /permissions slash command, reaction-based approval flow, session-allowed tool set
• Configurable OLLIM_USER_NAME and OLLIM_BOT_NAME environment variables — no hardcoded names in prompts
• Source indicators on embeds — [bg] prefix for background fork messages, source footer for fork sessions
• Context variables for fork-scoped channel, chain context, and in_fork state

​

Feb 18, 2026

​

Feb 17, 2026

• Package reorganization — google/ and scheduling/ sub-packages replace 20 top-level modules
• Forked background sessions — save_context and report_updates MCP tools for background forks to communicate results back to the main session
• Pending updates system with atomic file writes
• Structured dataclasses at module boundaries replacing raw dicts
• Type annotations (Literal types, TypedDicts) added across the codebase

​

Feb 16, 2026

• Wakeup system split into routines (cron-based recurring) and reminders (one-shot with follow-up chains)
• Individual markdown files with YAML frontmatter replace JSONL storage
• Chain state machine for reminder follow-up sequences
• Test suite added for routines, reminders, chains, and CLI
• Cron day-of-week conversion fixed for APScheduler compatibility

​

Feb 15, 2026

• Image attachments forwarded from Discord to Claude via streaming content blocks
• Timestamps prepended to all user messages and prompt paths for time-aware responses
• DM helpers extracted from scheduler to streamer module

​

Feb 11-12, 2026

• History-reviewer subagent for morning briefings
• Responsiveness-reviewer subagent for weekly reminder analysis
• Background wakeups with ping_user MCP tool
• Persistent button followup prompts across bot restarts
• Agent working directory pinned to ~/.ollim-bot

​

Feb 10-11, 2026

​
