- Priority Matching: Prioritize exact node matches in connect, delete, show, and modify actions to bypass disambiguation prompts and prevent accidental bulk mutations on partial matches.
- Bulk Operations: Optimize NodeService delete and update operations by deferring configuration writes, syncs, and cache updates to the final element of a batch.
- Remote AI: Prevent client-side CLI deadlocks when the gRPC server encounters AI configuration ValueErrors by returning a clean error state and final stream marker.
- Testing: Add unit test to verify exact-match priority behavior and update existing CLI tests to match new NodeService signatures.
- AI & Session Management:
- Add random suffix to session IDs to ensure uniqueness.
- Implement optional pagination/limit in session listing (default 20).
- Add `--all` flag to `ai` CLI commands to view all sessions.
- Keep active session ID and path synced correctly during clean session startups.
- CLI UI/UX:
- Add a custom `ConnpyTheme` for inquirer prompts that dynamically translates
active hex style colors to terminal ANSI/blessed escapes.
- gRPC & Services:
- Implement remote MCP server listing (`list_mcp_servers` RPC and services).
- Stream responder updates (`__RESPONDER__`) to toggle headers dynamically between
"Network Engineer" and "Network Architect" on remote/web clients.
- Fix remote client deadlock risk by ensuring `final_mark` is sent on exceptions.
- Hydrate client-side chat history correctly on initial streaming request.
- Testing:
- Add integration tests for AI gRPC services and MCP server listing.
Focus: UI stability and efficient rendering.
* Markdown Rendering Rewrite: Removed the dependency on rich.live.Live (which caused flickering and
high CPU usage by constantly re-rendering the entire panel).
* New BlockMarkdownRenderer: Implemented in printer.py (alias IncrementalMarkdownParser), it
accumulates text in a buffer and only prints to the screen when it detects a complete block (e.g.,
line breaks or
` code blocks).
* UI Optimizations (terminal_ui.py & stubs.py): Waiting spinners now stop cleanly, and the UI
transitions smoothly to block printing. Fixed visual truncation issues in the bottom "Tab prompt"
bar for excessively long commands.

9446baf - improve ai rules
* Strict Anti-Hallucination (ai.py): Injected MANDATORY rules into the System Prompt for both
Architect and Engineer agents. Now, if the terminal buffer is empty or only contains an idle prompt
(e.g., iol#), the AI is strictly forced to state that it lacks data instead of inventing topologies
or configurations.
* Language Preference: Explicitly instructed agents to always respond in the same language the user
used to ask the question.
64377f7 - move context block logic to server and improvements
* Context Precision (ai_service.py): Moved context partitioning logic to the service/server side. It
now calculates exact start_pos and end_pos based on identified commands, preventing mixed outputs
or residual text from bleeding into the AI's prompt.
* Token Savings (server.py): The server now selectively strips garbage metadata and UI caches that
add no value to the LLM before sending the payload over the wire.
e4fd1ad - fix logclean for 6wind
* Full ANSI/CSI Support (utils.py): Replaced the legacy rigid escape filter with a complete CSI
(Control Sequence Introducer) parser. The client can now accurately process numeric cursor
movements (C, D), inline dynamic erasures (K), and absolute shifts (G), ensuring connpy understands
exactly what a 6WIND router or other VNFs render on the screen without garbage characters.
b0a914a - updates al copilot
* Copilot <> gRPC Integration: Implemented the async plumbing required for the Copilot to work over
the gRPC tunnel (server.py & stubs.py).
* Initial Streaming UI: Added the first iteration of chunk callbacks to provide real-time feedback
while the LLM generates responses, laying the groundwork for the uncommitted block-renderer
optimizations.
pointing to /config. This avoids running the conn command during the build process and ensures a
cleaner setup.
2. Copilot UI Fix: Resolved a double-escaping bug in the terminal bottom bar. Device prompts (like
6WIND-PE1>) will now render correctly instead of showing HTML entities like >.
3. AI Model Update: Updated the default engineer model in connpy/ai.py to
gemini/gemini-3.1-flash-lite, removing the deprecated -preview suffix.
4. Standardized Timeouts: Unified all default timeouts to 20 seconds across the board. This includes
direct execution (run/test), modern playbooks (v2), and classic task-based playbooks (v1).
5. Documentation Update: Regenerated the full documentation site in the docs/ directory using pdoc to
reflect the latest changes.
6. Cleanup: Removed all debug prints from connpy/core.py and restored the docker/logs/.gitignore
file.
- AI Concurrency:
- Implemented a dedicated background event loop (ConnpyAILoop) in a separate thread for AI tasks to ensure thread safety and event loop affinity.
- Added 'run_ai_async' utility to funnel all LiteLLM calls through the dedicated loop.
- Implemented global 'cleanup()' for safe closure of sync/async LiteLLM sessions.
- gRPC & Remote Sessions:
- Enhanced 'NodeServicer' to identify command blocks within the terminal buffer using prompt regex/byte tracking.
- Added support for selective context retrieval via 'context_start_pos' in the gRPC Interact stream.
- Synchronized remote Copilot behavior by enriching questions with session history (last 5 queries) in 'NodeStub'.
- Optimized token usage by cleaning 'node_info' metadata before AI transmission.
- Terminal Context & Core:
- Modified 'node.connect' to always initialize 'mylog' (BytesIO) buffer regardless of disk logging configuration, ensuring Copilot context availability.
- Integrated 'ai.cleanup()' in CLI (connapp) and Server (api) exit points for graceful shutdowns.
- Suppressed LiteLLM internal streaming coroutine warnings during task cancellation.
- Implement threaded plugin execution with Queue-based streaming in PluginService
- Refactor remote logger to preserve ANSI colors and fix TTY line endings (\r\n)
- Intelligent terminal filtering: disable SSM screen-clearing filter after success
- Sanitize SSH-only flags in core.py when using SFTP protocol
- Rewrite completion tree with pre/post-node states and flag deduplication
- Update gRPC unit tests to match new streaming response structure
