feat: opt-in "Forgot password?" flow for password-based accounts
...### Problem A user with a password-based account who forgets their password has no way to recover it on their own. The only paths today are: - an admin opens Admin Panel > Users, edits the user and types a new password, then sends it to the user through some other channel (chat,...
If we are cooked, so are the other white-collar workers, no?
...legacy codebases, edge cases, and hardware/cloud integration are notoriously messy and require deep human problem-solving.. . Accountability: Companies still need engineers to own production outages, security vulnerabilities, and code quality.. . Are tech workers just more...
Cancelling while the model answers tool results erases the prompt and the completed tool rounds from history, unlike cancelling during a tool
### What happened? A prompt that uses tools sends several model requests: the prompt, then one request per round of tool results. If the user cancels while one of these requests is in flight or streaming, `GeminiChat` rolls history back to its length before the user's prompt....
iOS: the first API request after a 2-3 minute pause fails with -1005 (HTTP/3 idle timeout 180 s on the edge, no NAT rebinding)
[supabase-ticket-excerpt.log](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/34157772/supabase-ticket-excerpt.log) Client: a React Native app on supabase-js 2.117; on iOS its fetch is NSURLSession. Summary iOS reaches the Supabase API over HTTP/3. The QUIC connection stays pooled for...
[BUG] After a flow resumes with from_pending, the checkpoints of a later flow also hold it, so from_checkpoint restores the earlier flow instead
### Description An application runs one flow class many times in one process, as a service handles one request after another. Each run takes automatic checkpoints with `on_events=["method_execution_finished"]`, pauses for human feedback (`@human_feedback` with a provider that...
The Paper Reviewing Process is Now in Critical Condition [D]
...only two reviews and I strongly suspect the other review to be AI-written.. Everything is broken. I am sorry I have no concrete ideas how to fix this, so far. Do you?. Except one maybe, disallow AI usage even for polishing styling and tone? Just completely disallow AI writing....
issue: Deleting or renaming a file in the terminal Files tab empties every expanded folder
### Before Submitting - [x] I searched open and closed issues and discussions for an existing report. - [x] I reproduced this bug on the latest release AND on the current `dev` branch, right before submitting this report. I did not just check an old version or rely on a check...
Ask HN: How can I grow as an engineer in the AI era
I'm a junior developer, with less than 1 yoe. I have to use AI at work because deadlines are tight, and if I try to solve something by myself, it would take too much time. Work has to be done like yesterday. I'm trying not to use AI when I fix some bugs because they don't have...
[BUG] A flow resumed with from_pending forgets the methods completed before the pause, so a later checkpoint restore runs them again
### Description A flow pauses for human feedback and is resumed with `from_pending(...)` and `resume(...)`. After the resume, a method fails, and the application restores the latest checkpoint. The restored run executes again every method that completed before the pause. In the...
Agent plugins: marketplace install does a full git clone, slow or failing for large repositories
## Summary Installing an agent plugin from a marketplace makes a full `git clone` of the source repository, even when the plugin lives in a small subdirectory and is pinned to a tag. For large monorepos this makes installs very slow, and on corporate networks (VPN /...
...to see the speed gains. I use TypeScript every day on a large codebase, and it is too slow to run locally. I don't love this change though: > However, frontier AI models can now do large-scale ports almost independently in a matter of days > I wrote zero code. Not "barely any"....
feat: show the session title in the TUI footer
After renaming a session with `/rename`, the new title is only visible outside the chat UI: in the terminal tab/window title (OSC) and in the `/resume` picker. Nothing inside the running TUI shows it, so during a long session it is easy to lose track of which conversation you...
everything: HTTP+SSE transport mishandles unknown and duplicate sessions
## Problem The deprecated HTTP+SSE transport in `transports/sse.ts` has three session-handling defects: - `POST /message?sessionId= ` is never answered, so the client's request hangs until it times out. - A second `GET /sse` for a session that already has a stream is only logged...
Resource/port lost until Pangolin restart when adding a new port or when a tunneled service (Newt/Docker) restarts
### Describe the Bug When I add a new port/resource on Pangolin, or when a service that is tunneled through Pangolin (a Docker container running behind Newt) restarts on my end, Pangolin loses track of it. The resource stops being reachable and stays broken until I manually...
Almost giving up on Cloud/DevOps
...I will be attending AWS re:Invent at the end of the year but I am literally already giving up on the dream.. The worst is that after learning skills and carrying out projects without landing a role, I tend to forget them. And not only that but there's always a tool you feel you...
