Unreleased

0.4.0 - 2026-01-13

Added

• Event-Driven Architecture - Complete rewrite of prompt processing system

  • Prompts are now treated as events with metadata (buffer state, priority, timestamps)
  • New modules: queue.lua, patch.lua, confidence.lua, worker.lua, scheduler.lua
  • Priority-based event queue with observer pattern
  • Buffer snapshots for staleness detection

• Optimistic Execution - Ollama as fast local scout

  • Use Ollama for first attempt (fast local inference)
  • Automatically escalate to remote LLM if confidence is low
  • Configurable escalation threshold (default: 0.7)

• Confidence Scoring - Response quality heuristics

  • 5 weighted heuristics: length, uncertainty phrases, syntax completeness, repetition, truncation
  • Scores range from 0.0-1.0
  • Determines whether to escalate to more capable LLM

• Staleness Detection - Safe patch application

  • Track vim.b.changedtick and content hash at prompt time
  • Discard patches if buffer changed during generation
  • Prevents stale code injection

• Completion-Aware Injection - No fighting with autocomplete

  • Defer code injection while completion popup visible
  • Works with native popup, nvim-cmp, and coq_nvim
  • Configurable delay after popup closes (default: 100ms)

• Tree-sitter Scope Resolution - Smart context extraction

  • Automatically resolves prompts to enclosing function/method/class
  • Falls back to heuristics when Tree-sitter unavailable
  • Scope types: function, method, class, block, file

• Intent Detection - Understands what you want

  • Parses prompts to detect: complete, refactor, fix, add, document, test, optimize, explain
  • Intent determines injection strategy (replace vs insert vs append)
  • Priority adjustment based on intent type

• Tag Precedence Rules - Multiple tags handled cleanly

  • First tag in scope wins (FIFO ordering)
  • Later tags in same scope skipped with warning
  • Different scopes process independently

Configuration

New scheduler configuration block:

scheduler = {
  enabled = true,           -- Enable event-driven mode
  ollama_scout = true,      -- Use Ollama first
  escalation_threshold = 0.7,
  max_concurrent = 2,
  completion_delay_ms = 100,
}

0.3.0 - 2026-01-13

Added

• Multiple LLM Providers - Support for additional providers beyond Claude and Ollama

  • OpenAI API with custom endpoint support (Azure, OpenRouter, etc.)
  • Google Gemini API
  • GitHub Copilot (uses existing copilot.lua/copilot.vim authentication)

• Agent Mode - Autonomous coding assistant with tool use

  • read_file - Read file contents
  • edit_file - Edit files with find/replace
  • write_file - Create or overwrite files
  • bash - Execute shell commands
  • Real-time logging of agent actions
  • :CoderAgent, :CoderAgentToggle, :CoderAgentStop commands

• Transform Commands - Transform /@ @/ tags inline without split view

  • :CoderTransform - Transform all tags in file
  • :CoderTransformCursor - Transform tag at cursor
  • :CoderTransformVisual - Transform selected tags
  • Default keymaps: <leader>ctt (cursor/visual), <leader>ctT (all)

• Auto-Index Feature - Automatically create coder companion files

  • Creates .coder. companion files when opening source files
  • Language-aware templates with correct comment syntax
  • :CoderIndex command to manually open companion
  • <leader>ci keymap
  • Configurable via auto_index option (disabled by default)

• Logs Panel - Real-time visibility into LLM operations

  • Token usage tracking (prompt and completion tokens)
  • "Thinking" process visibility
  • Request/response logging
  • :CoderLogs command to toggle panel

• Mode Switcher - Switch between Ask and Agent modes

  • :CoderType command shows mode selection UI

Changed

• Window width configuration now uses percentage as whole number (e.g., 25 for 25%)
• Improved code extraction from LLM responses
• Better prompt templates for code generation

Fixed

• Window width calculation consistency across modules

0.2.0 - 2026-01-11

Added

• Ask Panel - Chat interface for asking questions about code
  • Fixed at 1/4 (25%) screen width for consistent layout
  • File attachment with @ key (uses Telescope if available)
  • Ctrl+n to start a new chat (clears input and history)
  • Ctrl+Enter to submit questions
  • Ctrl+f to add current file as context
  • Ctrl+h/j/k/l for window navigation
  • K/J to jump between output and input windows
  • Y to copy last response to clipboard
  • q to close panel (closes both windows together)
• Auto-open Ask panel on startup (configurable via auto_open_ask)
• File content is now sent to LLM when attaching files with @

Changed

• Ask panel width is now fixed at 25% (1/4 of screen)
• Improved close behavior - closing either Ask window closes both
• Proper focus management after closing Ask panel
• Compact UI elements to fit 1/4 width layout
• Changed "Assistant" label to "AI" in chat messages

Fixed

• Ask panel window state sync issues
• Window focus returning to code after closing Ask panel
• NerdTree/nvim-tree causing Ask panel to resize incorrectly
