Pawan (पवन) — CLI coding agent with pluggable LLM backends, 34 tools, and cross-session memory.

What's New in v0.4.8

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

  • 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)
