3 ## Unreleased
4
5 Adds [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) (MCP) client
6 support and bakes in the official siGit Code MCP server.
7
8 ### What changed
9
10 - siGit Code is now an MCP client: it connects to MCP servers over the Streamable HTTP transport (a single JSON-RPC endpoint), discovers the tools they expose, and offers them to the model alongside the built-in tools. When the model calls one, the call is forwarded to the owning server and the result fed back into the agent loop
11 - Bakes in the official siGit Code MCP server at `https://sigit.si/api/v1/mcp` (follows `SIGIT_CLOUD_URL`). When you are signed in (`sigit login`), the cloud session token is sent as the bearer credential
12 - Configure additional servers in `mcp.toml` — global (`~/.config/sigit/mcp.toml`) or project-local (`.sigit/mcp.toml`). Each `[[server]]` has a `name`, `url`, optional `enabled`, and optional `[server.headers]`; set `official = false` to opt out of the baked-in server
13 - MCP tools are namespaced `mcp__<server>__<tool>` so they never collide with built-in tools or across servers; tool output is capped to protect the model's context
14 - Discovery is best-effort at startup and bounded by a per-server timeout, so an unreachable server never blocks startup — it just contributes no tools
15 - Added a `/mcp` slash command (TUI and ACP) that lists configured servers, their connection status, and the tools each exposes
16 - Disable MCP entirely with `SIGIT_MCP=off`, or just the official server with `SIGIT_MCP_OFFICIAL=off`
17
18 ## 1.3.0
19
20 Adds a Local Inference on/off toggle, the open [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io)
21 format, and support for project instruction files (`AGENTS.md` and the like).
22
23 ### What changed
24
25 - Added a Local Inference on/off setting that is the explicit local-vs-cloud mode switch. It is persisted in `~/.config/sigit/settings.toml` (default on, local-first) and can be overridden with `SIGIT_LOCAL_INFERENCE`
26 - Toggle it with the `/local [on|off]` command (TUI and ACP); ACP clients without slash-command support get an equivalent "Local Inference" On/Off control in the session config panel
27 - `/models` now groups models by nature — Local vs siGit Code Cloud — and highlights the active mode's group while still showing the other, so the cloud tiers stay discoverable
28 - Discovers Agent Skills (folders with a `SKILL.md`) from `.sigit/skills/` and `.claude/skills/` in the project, `~/.config/sigit/skills/`, and `~/.claude/skills/`
29 - Follows the spec's progressive disclosure: each skill's name and description are advertised up front via a new `skill` tool, and the full instructions load only when the agent activates one
30 - Added a `/skills` slash command (TUI and ACP) that lists the discovered skills
31 - Reads project instruction files at session start: `AGENTS.md` (the cross-tool standard) and `CLAUDE.md`, walking from the working directory up to the repository root, plus a global file under `~/.config/sigit/`, and injects them into the session's system context so their guidance is always in force
32 - Nested instruction files are ordered outermost-first so the closest, most specific file takes precedence; the scan never reads above the repository root
33 - On-device models are no longer loaded implicitly. The chat UI and ACP sessions come up immediately, and the local model is brought into memory only when you run the `/load` command (or pick one in `/models`). Prompts sent before a model is loaded now return a hint instead of blocking on a multi-minute download.
34
35 ## 1.2.2
36
37 Streams assistant tokens as they arrive, on-device and over the cloud.
38
39 ### What changed
40
41 - Streamed assistant tokens live in the TUI and ACP sessions, both on-device and through siGit Code Cloud
42 - On-device inference streams only when a turn offers no tools, since `onde` can't stream and detect tool calls in the same pass; tool-capable turns still resolve in one shot
43 - Fixed the TUI so the latest message stays visible in long chats
44 - Put the cloud model-switch confirmation on its own line in ACP
45
46 ## 1.2.1
47
48 Stabilizes the Zed/ACP integration and finishes the cloud-tier wiring on top of 1.2.0.
49
50 ### What changed
51
52 - Fixed a Zed crash by keeping model-picker labels ASCII in the ACP model selector
53 - Wired ACP auth, cloud tiers, and slash commands into the Zed panel, including a `/reload` command to re-sync session state in place
54 - Fixed the TUI so the loaded-model checkmark appears once a download completes
55 - Synced bundled agent skills with the current code and added `CLAUDE.md`
56
57 ## 1.2.0
58
59 Adds siGit Code Cloud — a hosted inference tier alongside on-device models.
60
61 ### What changed
62
63 - Added siGit Code Cloud with cloud-tier routing, pointed at `sigit.si`
64 - Added account management slash commands and surfaced cloud tiers in `/models`
65 - Carried forward from 1.1.0: ACP SDK v0.13, refreshed dependencies and branding
66
67 ## 1.1.0
68
69 Bumps the ACP SDK to v0.13 and pulls in updated dependencies.
70
71 ### What changed
72
73 - Updated `agent-client-protocol` from v0.11 to v0.13
74 - Updated `onde` to 1.1.2
75 - Refreshed branding and skill metadata
76
77 ## 1.0.4
78
79 This release tightens up the terminal experience and finishes a few release-facing cleanup items.
80
81 ### What changed
82
83 - Added bold rich-text rendering in the TUI for assistant replies, so `**text**` now displays with terminal styling instead of raw markdown markers
84 - Refreshed the bundled skill metadata to follow the current Agent Skills `SKILL.md` format
85 - Synced the crate release metadata for the `1.0.4` cut
86
87 ## 1.0.3
88
89 This is the cleanup release for the editor-side startup problems.
90
91 ### What changed
92
93 - Fixed ACP sessions failing on the first real prompt because the server claimed the model was ready before anything had actually been loaded
94 - Changed ACP startup so the default model loads lazily on the first non-slash prompt instead of pretending it is already in memory
95 - Kept `initialize` and `session/new` lightweight while still sending proper progress updates once model loading begins
96 - Updated the Onde integration to `1.0.0`
97 - Removed a few dependencies we were no longer using
98
99 ## 1.0.2
100
101 This release was supposed to fix the ACP auth breakage. It did fix the stdout pollution problem, but it turned out not to be the whole story.
102
103 ### What changed
104
105 - Delayed model loading in ACP mode so startup diagnostics would not leak into protocol stdout during the auth handshake
106 - Tightened up the ACP startup path for editor integrations
107 - Refreshed some README wording while cutting `1.0.2`
108
109 ## 1.0.1
110
111 The first patch after `1.0.0` was mostly about making model loading and model switching feel less opaque.
112
113 ### What changed
114
115 - Added ToolCall-based progress UI for startup model loading and downloading
116 - Improved model-switch progress reporting in ACP clients
117 - Fixed model-load error handling so failed switches did not leave the UI in a weird state
118 - Cleaned up a few status messages and docs while the release was going out
119
120 ## 1.0.0 (2026)
121
122 siGit Code has been living in real smbCloud repos for a while now. At some point it stopped feeling like an experiment, so we called it 1.0.
123
124 ### What this release is
125
126 siGit Code is a local coding agent. It runs a quantized model on your machine, talks to editors over ACP, and can read files, run commands, fetch web pages, and write code without sending your project to a hosted API.
127
128 You can install it with Cargo, pip, npm, or Homebrew and use it like any other tool on your machine.
129
130 ### What shipped in 1.0
131
132 #### Editor integration
133
134 This is the core of the project.
135
136 Zed and VS Code can talk to siGit Code over ACP. Multi-turn sessions work. Tool calling works. Session forking works. Working-directory context works. That was the original goal, and it feels solid now.
137
138 #### Terminal UI
139
140 The terminal UI started as a side quest and turned out to be useful. You get a full-screen ratatui chat, streaming tokens, a spinner while the model is busy, and a model picker you can open in the middle of a session.
141
142 It runs on macOS and Linux. Windows gets ACP and editor mode for now. The Windows terminal UI is still unfinished.
143
144 #### Tool calling
145
146 This is the part that makes siGit Code feel like an agent instead of a chat box. The loop can run up to 10 rounds per message.
147
148 Available tools:
149
150 - `read_file` / `write_file` / `delete_file`
151 - `list_directory` / `search_files`
152 - `run_command`, with an optional working directory
153 - `read_website`, which fetches a URL and strips it down to readable text
154
155 The model can call a tool, inspect the result, and keep going until it has a real answer.
156
157 #### Model support
158
159 The model list ended up wider than we expected for 1.0:
160
161 - Qwen 3 1.7B, 4B, 8B, and 14B
162 - Qwen 2.5 1.5B and 3B
163 - Qwen 2.5 Coder 1.5B, 3B, and 7B
164 - DeepSeek Coder 6.7B
165
166 They are all GGUF models and they all come from Hugging Face on first run.
167
168 Qwen 3 is the interesting one. It uses extended thinking mode. The model reasons inside `<think>...</think>` blocks before answering. The TUI strips those blocks out and renders them dimmed above the reply, so you can see what happened without turning the whole conversation into noise.
169
170 The 8B model is the desktop default. Mobile stays on 1.7B because iOS gives apps roughly 2 to 3 GB of memory, and we learned the hard way that 3B can blow up on an iPhone 16e.
171
172 #### Model picker
173
174 The model picker shows:
175
176 - what is already cached locally
177 - what can be downloaded
178 - which models support tool calling
179 - whether the local cache looks healthy
180
181 You can open it with `/models` in the TUI or through the editor config option. Switching models happens in the background and the UI stays alive while the download or load is in progress.
182
183 #### smbCloud context
184
185 siGit Code knows smbCloud repos better than a generic coding assistant does. It understands the difference between platform-user flows and tenant-app auth flows, how `Project`, `FrontendApp`, `AuthApp`, and GresIQ fit together, and why Next.js SSR deploys are not the same thing as the generic git-push path.
186
187 Outside smbCloud, it backs off and behaves like a normal coding agent.
188
189 #### Distribution
190
191 Distribution took an unreasonable amount of time, honestly.
192
193 There are prebuilt binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows on both arm64 and x64 where relevant, plus install paths through Cargo, PyPI, npm, and Homebrew:
194
195 - `cargo install sigit`
196 - `pip install sigit-code`
197 - `npm install -g @smbcloud/sigit`
198 - `brew install sigit`
199
200 Getting that whole pipeline to behave across CI, crates.io, PyPI, npm, and Homebrew was basically its own project.
201
202 ### What still does not work
203
204 The Windows terminal UI is still missing.
205
206 ACP and editor mode work on Windows. The part that is still missing is the interactive full-screen terminal UI. The blocker is Unix-specific terminal handling that has not been abstracted cleanly yet.
207
208 ### Changes since 0.1.2
209
210 - Added Qwen 3 14B support
211 - Added Qwen 3 `<think>` block parsing and separate rendering in the TUI
212 - Moved all TUI code into `#[cfg(unix)]`, which fixed a pile of dead-code errors on Windows CI
213 - Added live download progress during model switches, including cancellation with Ctrl+C
214 - Added model download and loading progress in the Zed agent config panel
215 - Added an animated spinner during model switching
216 - Added Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B
217 - Added downloadable models to the picker, not just locally cached ones
218 - Made model selection persist across restarts
219 - Added session working-directory support
220 - Moved model picker logic into a platform-independent module so Windows can compile without the TUI
221 - Added the `/models N` shortcut for picking a model by number
222 - Added the `read_website` tool
223 - Improved `read_file` handling and empty-reply detection
224 - Added async tool execution
225 - Fixed CI cross-compilation for macOS, iOS, Linux, and Windows
226 - Added npm, PyPI, and Homebrew distribution
