Ante Files

v0.2.3 - 2026-09-21

Added

• Bare ante --resume opens the interactive session picker directly without requiring a session ID or creating a throwaway session
• First-class System message role for runtime instructions, serializing natively to Anthropic system and OpenAI developer messages with fallback to system reminders

Changed

• Preserve subagent deliverables in parent handoffs by returning final task answers directly instead of requesting an extra synthetic summary turn
• Clarify context compaction marker to state that earlier history remains for reference while the model sees only the summary
• Working spinner remains visible continuously throughout active turns (streaming, thinking, and tool execution)
• Active background jobs are highlighted with the theme accent and display without obstructing scrollback
• AskUser accepts single-option questions to avoid unnecessary retries, and surfaces tool errors visibly in chat
• TUI performance and state ownership optimizations: cached row span allocation reductions, single-fact settings ownership in AppState, and git branch re-reading only at turn and tool boundaries

Wire

• Evt::TaskEnd event added to notify clients of structured job and background task completions

Crates

• Public crates published as 0.2.3: ante-protocol-shape, ante-llm, ante-exec, ante-sdk
