- **changed** — Cursor quota exhaustion is now classified separately from context overflow in provider recovery
- **changed** — Stream-stall retries now use explicit profiles, shared budgets, classifiers, backoff planning, and failure diagnostics
- **changed** — Anthropic refusal fallback now preserves returned-model pricing
- **changed** — Reasoning replay, Bedrock redacted reasoning, Z.AI metadata, Azure toolChoice, Google thinking mappings, Kimi cached-token accounting, and Copilot policy-rate handling receive compatibility fixes
- **changed** — xAI now uses the Responses API path with encrypted reasoning replay, with Grok 4.6 as the refreshed default
- **changed** — Credential pools now support slot-preserving mutations and slot-specific logout
- **changed** — OAuth refresh now preserves sibling and pinned credential slots
- **fixed** — Compaction no longer assumes provider usage is present
- **fixed** — Truncated summaries are now rejected rather than replayed as complete
- **fixed** — Settings diagnostics now identify exact file and key paths
- **fixed** — State-file permissions, BOM handling, and invalid-settings behavior now have regression coverage

#### OmO beta.20

Beta.20 is the current beta release of the OmO multi-harness distribution and
native edition.

- OmO: `5.0.0-beta.20`
- OmO Native: `omo-ai@5.0.0-0.beta.20`
- Senpi engine: `@code-yeongyu/senpi@2026.8.25`

##### Senpi 2026.8.25

This release includes the current upstream-integrated Senpi line, including
the upstream RPC queue-clearing surface from `upstream/main@a79b37334`,
preserved prompt/message ordering, deterministic RPC coverage, and the
fork-specific compatibility repairs recorded after the sync.

Provider recovery is stronger in this release:

- Cursor quota exhaustion is classified separately from context overflow.
- Stream-stall retries use explicit profiles, shared budgets, classifiers,
  backoff planning, and failure diagnostics.
- Anthropic refusal fallback preserves returned-model pricing.
- OpenAI-compatible reasoning controls and provider-neutral `toolChoice`
  remain available.
- Reasoning replay, Bedrock redacted reasoning, Z.AI metadata, Azure
  `toolChoice`, Google thinking mappings, Kimi cached-token accounting, and
  Copilot policy-rate handling receive compatibility fixes.
- xAI uses the Responses API path with encrypted reasoning replay, with Grok
  4.6 as the refreshed default.

Credential and session continuity also improve:

- Credential pools support slot-preserving mutations and slot-specific logout.
- OAuth refresh preserves sibling and pinned credential slots.
- Compaction no longer assumes provider usage is present.
- Truncated summaries are rejected rather than replayed as complete.
- Settings diagnostics identify exact file and key paths.
- State-file permissions, BOM handling, and invalid-settings behavior have
  regression coverage.

The release also carries extension and CLI fixes for cleanup after failed
extension factories, nested skill discovery, malformed streamed tool-call
arguments, corrected `toolcall_start` metadata, branded resume hints, and
cross-platform shell behavior.

##### OmO beta.20

###### Exact native dependency

`omo-ai@5.0.0-0.beta.20` depends exactly on:

```text
@code-yeongyu/senpi: 2026.8.25
```

The native package is published on npm's `beta` channel. `latest` remains the
intentional placeholder, so install the beta tag or the exact prerelease.

###### Configuration and migration

The unified `~/.omo/omo.jsonc` surface remains the cross-harness configuration
contract. Legacy configuration migration is lock- and journal-backed, with
no-clobber diagnostics, migration markers, resumable backups, and dry-run/JSON
modes.

###### Skill and command migration

| Previous name | Beta.20 name | Migration |
|---|---|---|
| `/start-work` and `start-work` | `/ulw-execute` and `ulw-execute` | Hard cutover; no old-name alias. |
| `start-work-continuation` | `ulw-execute-continuation` | Update component paths and hooks. |
| `omo-senpi-start-work-continuation-disabled` | `omo-senpi-ulw-execute-continuation-disabled` | Rename the flag. |
| `skill_loaded: start-work` | `skill_loaded: ulw-execute` | Update telemetry queries. |
| `start_work` | `ulw_execute` | Old key reads for one release with a warning; new key wins. |
| `omo` executable | `omo-agent-toolkit` | Update direct invocations. |

The current native inventory includes `mass-ulw`, `ultrawork`, `ulw-plan`,
`ulw-loop`, `ulw-research`, `hyperplan`, `init-deep`, `dag-library`,
`onboarding`, and `give-me-tips`. This inventory is not a claim that every
listed skill was introduced in beta.20.

###### Reliability and orchestration

The beta.20 OmO line includes dependency-frontier DAG admission, honest paused
run headers and resume leases, non-blocking reattach paths, reflection run-id
collision protection, Bubblewrap degradation, lock-free journal scans and
flushes, Atlas cleanup on early exits, surface/install attribution telemetry,
and compiled native launcher/asset parity.

##### Upgrade instructions

###### Native edition

```bash
npm install -g omo-ai@beta
#### or:
npm install -g omo-ai@5.0.0-0.beta.20
```
