/bg (formerly /background, which is retired) keeps the existing semantics:
spawn a fresh, independent agent session in the background.
/btw is now its own command matching the convention other harnesses use:
ask a quick side question ABOUT the current conversation without
interrupting it. A one-shot auxiliary LLM call (main model by default,
overridable via auxiliary.side_question.* in config.yaml) answers from a
read-only transcript snapshot — the live session's history, role
alternation, and prompt cache are untouched, and the current turn keeps
running.
Surfaces wired: CLI (inline mid-run dispatch), gateway (all messengers,
busy-dispatch table + idle dispatch, i18n across all 17 locales), TUI
(prompt.btw RPC + btw.complete event), Discord native slash, relay
command manifest, desktop exec routing, docs (EN + zh-Hans).
- RelayAdapter.create_handoff_thread → one op-gated thread_create op
(Discord channel thread / Telegram forum topic / Slack named seed root);
None fallback contract preserved for the handoff watcher.
- RelayAdapter.rename_thread → thread_rename with only_if_current_name
no-clobber guard on the wire (connector enforces; Telegram guarded
renames fail safe). The native semantic-rename lane
(_is_discord_auto_thread_lane) lights over the relay via the
connector-stamped auto_thread_created/auto_thread_initial_name markers
parsed onto SessionSource in _event_from_wire.
- reply_to {text, author, is_own} wire parse onto the SAME MessageEvent
reply-context fields native adapters populate.
- gateway/relay/command_manifest.py: the gateway-declared slash-command
manifest (native Discord tree mirror) sent on the DISCORD hello; the
connector reconciles Discord's global registration (additive field,
older connectors ignore).
- Contract doc §OutboundAction ops + Phase 4 semantics sections.
- 12 new tests (tests/gateway/relay/test_relay_threads.py); relay suite
266 passed.
