v1.1.7

Release 1.1.7 brings two new providers (ChatGPT Web and GitHub Copilot), a redesigned real-time progress system, Mercury Autopilot with intelligent loop detection, major Telegram improvements, and a full landing page redesign with the interactive Killipi mascot.

Highlights​

  • ChatGPT Web provider — use your ChatGPT Plus/Pro subscription directly, with OAuth device flow authentication.
  • GitHub Copilot provider — authenticate via GitHub OAuth and use Copilot models as a Mercury provider.
  • Mercury Autopilot — AI-based loop detection that analyzes parameter diversity and success rates to distinguish productive work from stuck loops, with auto-abort capability.
  • Real-time progress system — live status cards with step tracking, elapsed timers, and collapsed tool execution history.
  • Completion banners — task summaries with elapsed time, step count, model used, and token usage/budget metrics.
  • Interactive Killipi mascot — hero centerpiece on the landing page with cursor tracking, expressions, and ambient glow effects.

New Providers​

  • Added ChatGPT Web provider with full OAuth device flow. Authenticate with your ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription and use it as a Mercury backend.
  • Added GitHub Copilot provider with OAuth device flow and Copilot token exchange.
  • Moved ChatGPT Plus/Pro OAuth option under the OpenAI provider group during onboarding.
  • Fixed ChatGPT Web inclusion in the configured providers list and default selector.

Mercury Autopilot (Loop Detection)​

  • Implemented AI-based loop detection with auto-abort capability.
  • Replaced inline tool loop detection with a dedicated ToolCallLoopDetector module.
  • Smart repetition analysis evaluates parameter diversity and success rate to classify work as productive, suspicious, or stuck.
  • Added strict tool usage guidelines to the system prompt to reduce unnecessary repetition.
  • Increased tool loop tolerance thresholds to avoid false positives on legitimate multi-step tasks.

Real-Time Progress & Completion​

  • New progress tracking system with /progress command and foreground heartbeat alerts.
  • Live status bar displays a "processing" label before the first tool step occurs.
  • Tool steps are hidden while the agent is in thinking state, shown only when actively executing.
  • Collapsed tool execution history tracked and displayed in agent progress notifications.
  • Completion banners now include elapsed time, step count, and token usage/budget metrics.
  • Completion banners are constrained to substantial tasks — minor step-based interactions no longer trigger them.

CLI / TUI Improvements​

  • Slash command suggestions — type / and get autocomplete suggestions with arrow-key navigation and Enter selection.
  • Multi-line input — Shift+Enter for new lines (later rebound to Ctrl+N).
  • Input cursor support — proper cursor positioning in the TUI input field.
  • Choice prompt selection — interactive prompts for CLI agent interactions.
  • Scrollable Agent Output panel — replaces the old static chat view in the workspace.
  • Workspace focus management — keyboard navigation between panels with scrolling and chat toggling.
  • View toggle rebound to Ctrl+T with improved input sanitization.
  • Dynamic thinking status indicators in the UI header.

Telegram​

  • Implemented Telegram-specific task lifecycle with message deferral and structured help documentation.
  • Ephemeral message tracking and cleanup — permission prompts and transient messages auto-delete after handling.
  • Telegram help command now shows a clean, Telegram-formatted reference with only Telegram-relevant commands.

Permissions & Safety​

  • Interactive write approval — file write operations now prompt with a clear approval flow.
  • Safe read-only allowlist — shell commands like ls, cat, find, grep, git status, git log, and git diff are auto-approved without prompting.
  • Persistent plan tracking and read-only tool restrictions for programming mode.

Background Tasks​

  • Human-readable background task IDs (e.g., task-alpha, task-bravo) replace opaque numeric IDs.
  • Mass task termination support via /bg cancel all.

Documentation & Website​

  • Full visual redesign of the landing page with updated color palette and refined layout.
  • Interactive Killipi mascot added to the hero section — eyes follow cursor, click for expressions, ambient particle effects.
  • Fixed Docusaurus admonition rendering — updated all :::tip, :::info, :::warning blocks to use the v3 directive label syntax (:::type[Title]).
  • Fixed mobile sidebar visibility in dark mode with explicit background and text color overrides.
  • Expanded documentation for sub-agents, Spotify integration, autopilot, and provider configuration.

Notes​

  • This release includes 35 commits with +3,829 lines of new source code across 25 files.
  • New keyboard shortcut for multi-line input: Ctrl+N (changed from Shift+Enter).
  • View toggle shortcut changed to Ctrl+T.
