pawan-core v0.4.13

Core library for the Pawan CLI coding agent. Contains the agent engine, tool system, configuration, and healing/recovery logic.

What's New in v0.4.13

Pure-Rust git engine — replaced libgit2 (C) with gix 0.82 (gitoxide). No C toolchain dep. GitSessionStore API unchanged; 789 tests pass.
mold linker + split-debuginfo — faster dev/test linking on Linux.
Feature-gated heavy deps — deagle, tasks, git-sessions, lancor optional; all in default. Faster cold builds when toggled off.
Workspace dep deduplication — which, dirs, dotenvy, tempfile promoted to workspace dependencies.
Module splits — coordinator/types.rs extracted (796→459 lines); tools/git.rs → tools/git/ (5 files); tools/native.rs split into native_search, mise, lsp_tool submodules.
Type deduplication — MessageRole removed (dup of agent::Role); to_definition() alias removed; FinishReason canonical with Display + Eq.

What's New in v0.4.8

Shell-like command history navigation — Up/down arrow keys navigate through command history, matching bash/zsh/Claude Code/OMP behavior
History persistence — Commands saved to history (excluding slash commands), accessible across sessions

What's New in v0.4.7

Redesigned keyboard shortcuts — Ctrl+C always clears input, Ctrl+Q quits for cleaner separation of concerns

What's New in v0.4.6

Redesigned Ctrl+C behavior — Clears input when non-empty, quits when empty (matching bash/zsh pattern)

What's New in v0.4.1

Session tags UI — Visual green tags in status bar, manage via /tag command
Fuzzy session search — Fuzzy matching with [FUZZY] indicator in session browser
NVIDIA NIM catalog — /models command to browse available NIM models
Enhanced /diff — --cached flag support and colorized diff output
Improved /load and /resume — Opens session browser when called without arguments
Enhanced scrolling — PageUp/PageDown/Home/End keys and mouse wheel support in all popups (command palette, slash menu, session browser)
Secure credential storage — API keys stored in OS-native credential store (Keychain/Credential Manager/libsecret)
Test stability — All 789 library tests and 59 integration tests now pass consistently

Features

Agent Engine — Multi-turn conversation with LLM backends (NVIDIA NIM, Ollama, OpenAI, MLX)
Tool System — 34 tools in 3 tiers (Core/Standard/Extended) with tiered visibility
Configuration — Pluggable config resolution via aegis or local files
Healing — Auto-recovery from tool failures, context overflow, model errors
Thinking Budget — Per-model thinking mode dispatch (Qwen, Gemma, Mistral, DeepSeek)
Session Management — Save, load, and resume conversation sessions
Model Selection — Dynamic model switching with search and filtering

Usage

use pawan::{PawanAgent, PawanConfig};
use std::path::PathBuf;

let config = PawanConfig::load(None)?;
let _agent = PawanAgent::new(config, PathBuf::from("."));

This crate is the foundation — use pawan (the CLI binary) for the full experience.
