Windows hands a redirected or legacy console stream the ANSI code page
(cp1252), which cannot encode Rich's panels or the model's text: one
check mark in a finding ended a headless run with UnicodeEncodeError, and
the error handler raised again rendering its own panel. Reconfigure both
streams to UTF-8 at startup on win32, and open the Go TUI's os.devnull
sink as UTF-8 so logging into it stops producing --- Logging error ---
reports under the same code page.
A stopped run with no findings already exits 0, so skipping the threshold
only when low findings exist made the gate depend on the wrong thing.
The threshold now always applies; reporting an unfinished run is a separate
exit-code concern.
Every renderer of the final report already titles each section, so the
heading the docstring asked for printed twice. Describe the fields as
section bodies and drop the example headings.
A base URL no longer forces chat completions. resolve_api_type() keeps an
explicit STRIX_API_TYPE, uses Responses without a base URL or for
api.openai.com, uses Responses for models whose LiteLLM catalog entry has
no /v1/chat/completions endpoint, and chat completions for other gateways.
On the chat completions route, reasoning_effort is omitted for models
whose LiteLLM parameter map does not list it there instead of failing the
request with function tools. STRIX_REASONING_EFFORT and STRIX_API_TYPE
are matched case-insensitively.
* fix(reporting): restore create_vulnerability_report parameter descriptions
A docstring line beginning with a backtick fence example opened a markdown
code block that griffe's Google-style parser never saw closed, so the Args
section was parsed as plain text and the generated tool schema carried no
per-parameter descriptions. Reword the example, move Args after the trailing
notes so nothing after it is dropped from the tool description, and add a
test asserting every scan-agent tool parameter has a description.
* test(reporting): cover respond_to_user and reject null parameter descriptions
active_agents_except (finish_scan, wait_for_message) treats budget_paused as
active, so a root cannot finish the scan over a parked child. park_for_budget
only transitions a running agent, and the wake back to running happens under
the coordinator lock.
Adds budget_policy: stop | pause to run_strix_scan / ReportUsageHooks /
AgentCoordinator, independent of interactive mode. Under pause the agents
get no budget warnings and no sub-agent reserve; each agent parks before
its next LLM call once spent >= limit or the scan is paused, sessions and
sandbox stay alive, and coordinator.resume_budget(max_budget_usd=...)
replaces the limit and wakes every parked agent without adding anything
to any session. coordinator.pause_budget() parks a running scan the same
way. In-flight calls are never cancelled, so spent may end above the
limit. Parked agents count as active for stop_agent.
Siblings differ only in the skills they were spawned with, but those came
first in <specialized_knowledge>, so their prompts diverged at 39%. Shared
skills and the catalog now come first, and the requested skills follow a
cache point, so siblings share 93%.
The extra system message takes a fourth Claude breakpoint, so the Bedrock
tool_config one goes: the first system breakpoint already covers the tools.

A local_code target can mark its tree read_only; collect_local_sources
forwards the flag and build_bind_mounts mounts the tree read-only instead
of relying on host mode bits, skipping the per-metadata remounts since the
whole tree is already immutable. Used for pulled container image layouts.
* Enrich issue technical details with local Git blame
* Bound report history enrichment and require unambiguous repository identity
* test(history): drive attribution through the CLI scan setup and isolate git config
* Simplify Git blame attribution to existing reporting instructions
* Make local blame guidance reliable in live reporting
Extra files (knowledge trees, workspace files) reached the docker sandbox as
per-file read-only bind mounts whose parent directories docker created as
root, so the sandbox user could neither edit them nor create siblings. They
now travel as one tar archive uploaded after bring-up and unpacked as the
sandbox user, on every backend.
* Add api_type field to LlmSettings
Added 'api_type' field to LlmSettings for API path selection.
* Refactor API type handling in models.py
* Implement test for LlmSettings API type
Add test for API type override settings in LlmSettings.
* fix(tests): lint api_type test, cover the api_base override route, document STRIX_API_TYPE
* fix(models): keep LiteLLM chat-completions tool schema when STRIX_API_TYPE=responses

Exa /search is a neural search endpoint, not a chat model, so prepending
the Perplexity system prompt made Exa match the prompt's own vocabulary
(Kali, OWASP, apt, NIST) instead of the query. The system prompt stays
on the Perplexity path where it is a chat system message; the Exa
summary instruction is unchanged.
error events now carry phase (startup/preflight/sandbox_init/agent_setup/
agent_loop) and the exception class name (plus its cause), never the message
or trace. Startup and preflight failures that exit(1) before the scan starts
are beaconed with a stable error_type instead of vanishing. scan_ended
distinguishes budget_exceeded, rate_limited, and headless agent_stopped
from user_exit.
The warm-up thread imports strix.core.runner while warm_up_llm and
preflight_model_connection import agents.models.interface. Both walk the
agents SDK graph from different entry points, CPython fails one side to
break the import-lock cycle, and the orphan purge then removes agents.*
from sys.modules while the main thread is still importing it, crashing
strix -n with KeyError: 'agents.models'.
- Every payment-required error now ends with a "Next step" line: the
platform hint when one is sent, else the topup command and the billing
URL for the configured platform. JSON output gets the same text as
next_step. The platform hint is no longer repeated inside the error.
- An archive file passed to --source is rejected with guidance to pass
the directory instead, which packs and excludes deps/build output.
- An oversize archive names its largest files and points to --exclude
and --dry-run --show-files.
- uploads request help points to scans start --source for local code.
A non-interactive agent's loop returns after its terminal state, yet
send_message_to_agent kept reporting messages to it as delivered and the
parent then waited out wait_for_agents on a reply that could never come.
- AgentRuntime.resumable records whether the loop parks for wake-ups after a
terminal state; run_agent_loop / _start_child_runner set it from interactive.
- AgentCoordinator.send returns False (nothing queued) for a terminal agent
that is not resumable; send_message_to_agent surfaces target_status and
delivery_status=not_delivered with a pointer to list_reports / get_report.
- wait_for_agents returns wait_outcome=no_active_agents at once when no other
agent is running or waiting in a non-interactive run.
- agent_finish reads the reports the finishing agent filed from the report
state and puts their ids in the completion report, the parent message
(filed_report_ids) and its own return payload, so parents no longer have to
infer what was filed from prose.
Add Claude Fable 5.1, Gemini 3.7 Flash, and Z.ai GLM-5.3 / GLM-5.3-Flash
to RECOMMENDED_MODEL_NAMES, add a Z.ai GLM frontier family so GLM-5.x is
accepted through OpenRouter and Novita routes, and drop the superseded
GPT-5.4, GPT-5.3-codex, Opus 4.8, Sonnet 4.6, Gemini 3.6 Flash, and
Qwen3.7 entries. Update the README, docs provider pages, quickstart, and
CLI hint strings to the same current models, including DeepSeek V4,
Kimi K3, and GLM-5.3.
pydantic-settings takes the first alias present in the environment, even
when it is empty. persist_current() must save that same alias, so an empty
LLM_API_KEY does not let a non-empty OPENAI_API_KEY sibling land in the
file and restore a credential the run did not use.
