Browser usage documentation
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR changes tool-output handling and session-history reconstruction, but oversized binary results may still consume excessive resources before being capped, while stale steering matches can misattribute later messages and invalid token values can corrupt displayed context usage. These current-head correctness and availability risks should be fixed before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Around line 1-5: Update the changeset front matter to include
`@pymodel/pythinker-code-sdk` with the appropriate non-major bump, preserving the
existing `@pymodel/pythinker-code` patch entry and description; do not use a major
bump.
In `@apps/pythinker-code/src/tui/controllers/session-event-handler.ts`:
- Around line 726-731: Update the contextUsage fallback in the session event
handler to validate both token values before division: require finite,
non-negative tokens and a finite, positive maximum; otherwise assign 0. Preserve
the direct event.contextUsage path and only derive the ratio when the validated
fallback inputs are usable.

`@packages/agent-core-v2/src/agent/toolResultTruncation/toolResultTruncationService.ts`:
- Around line 220-224: Update both spill-pointer messages in
toolResultTruncationService.ts at lines 220-224 and 273-276 to include matching
Bash recovery guidance for inspecting or slicing lines too long for Read, while
preserving the existing output_path, Read, and Grep guidance.
In `@packages/agent-gateway/src/services/transcript/transcriptService.ts`:
- Around line 495-505: Update the pendingSteers matching logic in the transcript
scan so each turn.steer is considered only for the next context.append_message
record: remove it when that appended user message does not match, and retain
existing removal and steeredRecordIndexes behavior for a match. Prevent
unmatched entries from surviving to later unrelated messages.

Fixed in 0590e47: binary MCP content is capped before compression; optional wire fields are direct; spill-exempt reads and stale cold-snapshot steers have regression tests. Not changed: SDK changesets are internal, and docstrings conflict with the repository no-comments rules. |
