Paginated thread history becomes searchable by occurrence

History lookup gains bounded batching, reverse-search batching, and occurrence search for long-running threads.

  • Feature
  • Agents
  • API
  • Reliability

The paginated history work becomes useful to search callers, not just storage. The protocol can return bounded batches and locate occurrences without replaying the entire thread.

Alpha release context: 3 official tags were published that UTC day (rust-v0.145.0-alpha.20, rust-v0.145.0-alpha.22, rust-v0.145.0-alpha.23). The full comparison contains 35 commits and at least 300 changed files.

Evidence

App-server adds a bounded batch API for message history.Why it matters: Clients can request manageable sections of a long history rather than loading everything at once.

Parent-owned subagent threads are read-only in the TUI.Why it matters: The terminal prevents edits from the wrong ownership context while still allowing users to inspect the child thread.
