Weekly Update #37

TL;DR

Pochi 0.66 is expected on August 19. It is shaping up to make long-running commands easier to leave in the background without losing momentum, while keeping the changed-files summary focused by showing each edited file only once.

More below!

🚀 Features

• Background jobs will report back automatically: In Pochi 0.66, long-running commands will be able to continue in the background while Pochi moves on to other work. When a job finishes, Pochi will receive a completion notification, and the job and its output will remain attached to the task so it can inspect the result without repeatedly checking whether the command is done.

  Today, a completed background job can sit unnoticed until Pochi polls it again, slowing down workflows built around development servers, test suites, and other long-running commands.

  This will be most useful on tasks where several steps can continue while a command runs.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Each changed file will appear only once: The task's changed-files summary will recognize absolute and workspace-relative paths as the same file, preventing duplicate entries for a single edit. Diff and undo actions will continue to work from the one remaining entry. #1889
