Changelog

All notable changes to Sasha Studio will be documented in this file.

[Unreleased] - 2026-02-06

Added - Claude Code CLI Upgrade (2.1.7 → 2.1.33)

• Upgraded Claude Code CLI from v2.1.7 to v2.1.33: 26 versions of stability and accuracy improvements
  • Updated 1M context Bedrock patch with new minified variable names (nf1, _6, q)
  • Files: Dockerfile.sliplane, scripts/patch-claude-1m.js, claude-code-1m-context-patch.md

Stability Improvements (from upstream Claude Code releases)

• Crash and memory fixes: Fixed OOM crashes from parallel subagents (2.1.14), heavy session resumption (2.1.16), and processors without AVX support (2.1.17/2.1.19)
• Session reliability: Fixed long sessions with parallel tool calls failing with orphan tool_result API errors (2.1.9); fixed API errors when resuming interrupted sessions (2.1.21); 68% memory reduction for session resumption (2.1.29/2.1.30)
• Connection handling: Fixed mTLS/proxy connectivity for corporate proxies (2.1.23); fixed OAuth token expiration causing 401 errors (2.1.27); fixed beta header validation for Bedrock/Vertex gateway users (2.1.25)
• Tool execution: Fixed ripgrep timeouts silently returning empty results (2.1.23); fixed Bash heredoc errors with JS template literals (2.1.32); fixed MCP server reconnection hangs (2.1.9)
• Error messages: Connection failures now show specific cause (ECONNREFUSED, SSL errors) instead of generic "Connection error" (2.1.33)

Hallucination and Accuracy Improvements (from upstream Claude Code releases)

• System prompt tool guidance (2.1.21, 2.1.31, 2.1.32, 2.1.33): Progressively improved prompts steer the model toward Read/Edit/Glob/Grep instead of bash equivalents, directly reducing hallucinated file paths and command syntax
• Temperature override fix (2.1.31): temperatureOverride was silently ignored in the streaming path — all requests used temperature 1.0 regardless of configuration, directly affecting output determinism
• Context window fix (2.1.14): Users were blocked at ~65% context instead of ~98%, forcing premature compaction and loss of grounding context
• Prompt cache invalidation (2.1.30/2.1.33): Fixed cache not invalidating when tool descriptions changed (only checked tool names), causing stale tool descriptions and wrong tool usage
• Phantom content removal (2.1.30/2.1.31): Eliminated "(no content)" text blocks from API conversation history that wasted tokens and confused the model
• Auto-compact timing (2.1.21): Fixed auto-compact triggering too early on models with large output token limits, causing unnecessary context loss
• Subagent fixes: Fixed subagents not inheriting parent model (2.1.19) and unable to access SDK-provided MCP tools (2.1.30/2.1.33)

[Unreleased] - 2025-08-24

Fixed - Session Management and Security

Fixed - Bedrock Status Display

• Bedrock Status Visibility for All Users: Fixed Bedrock provider status appearing incorrectly

  • Cleaned up test data from bedrock_config table
  • Created new /api/admin/bedrock/status endpoint for all authenticated users
  • Updated ChatInterface.jsx and QuickSettingsPanel.jsx to use new endpoint

[Previous Release] - 2025-08-23

Fixed - Task List Visibility

  • Other tools maintain their normal expand/collapse behavior
  • Improved UX: Users can immediately see task progress and status

[Unreleased] - 2025-08-09

Fixed - Sliplane Production Deployment

• Database Reset Functionality: Fixed RESET_DATABASE environment variable not working in production
  • Root cause: Database reset logic ran BEFORE tables were created during initialization
  • Solution: Moved RESET_DATABASE check AFTER init.sql execution in server/database/db.js
  • Now properly deletes from all tables (research_documents, onboarding_documents, company_profiles, users)
  • Added comprehensive logging and verification to confirm successful reset
  • Enables fresh setup screen instead of login screen on new deployments
• Health Check Endpoints: Fixed Sliplane health check failures causing deployment rejections
  • Issue: Health endpoints were placed AFTER CORS and other middleware, causing hanging responses
  • Solution: Moved health endpoints to very beginning of middleware stack
  • Added simple /health endpoint for Sliplane (returns 200 OK)
  • Kept detailed /api/health endpoint for comprehensive status monitoring
  • Health checks now pass immediately, enabling successful deployments
• Deployment Process Improvements: Enhanced Docker deployment pipeline for Sliplane

  • Added webhook automation for seamless deployments
  • Documented troubleshooting process for deployment issues

Fixed - Docker and Claude CLI Issues

• Claude CLI Invalid --project Flag: Fixed critical error preventing chat functionality
  • Root cause: Sliplane deployment commit added --project workspace flag to Claude CLI
  • Issue: Claude CLI doesn't support --project flag, causing "unknown option '--project'" error
  • Solution: Removed the invalid flag from server/claude-cli.js
  • Affected Docker environments where RUNNING_IN_DOCKER=true
• Nginx Reverse Proxy Removal: Removed unsuccessful vpnkit workaround
  • Attempted to fix Docker Desktop file upload issues with Nginx proxy
  • Caused WebSocket connection failures and increased complexity
  • Decision: Remove Nginx, test in different Docker environments instead
  • Created documentation of the experiment for future reference

[Unreleased] - 2025-08-09

Fixed - Chat Interface Improvements

• User Messages Disappearing Bug: Fixed critical issue where user messages would flash and disappear
  • Root cause: chatMessages was being overwritten by convertedMessages when loading sessions
  • Solution: Now preserves local messages when merging with session messages
  • Messages added after the last session message are retained during updates
• Tool Progress Display: Made tool execution status always visible
  • When expanded: Full card UI with detailed status badges
  • When collapsed: Compact inline status with icon and elapsed time
  • Shows "Running • 2.5s", "Completed • 1.2s", or "Failed • 0.8s"
• Inline Code Rendering: Fixed inline code being displayed as full code blocks
  • Issue: Inline code like CONFIG_DIR was showing with borders, copy buttons, and headers
  • Root cause: react-markdown v10 doesn't reliably pass the inline parameter
  • Solution: Better detection using content analysis (no newlines + no language class = inline)
  • Now inline code appears as simple highlighted text within sentences
