Changelog -- Context Foundry

v0.7.4 -- 2026-03-29

Quieter agents -- Builder, reviewer, and fixer prompts now include EXECUTION STYLE and SILENT EXECUTION directives. Agents execute tool calls directly without narrating each step. See Why Your AI Agents Won't Shut Up.
CLAUDE.md no longer read by agents -- Replaced with AUTONOMY_OVERRIDE injected via --append-system-prompt. Saves tokens; coding conventions should live in SPEC.md instead.
Parallel builder conflict logging -- COPY-COPY CONFLICT, DELETE-MODIFY CONFLICT, and other merge issues now appear in the TUI log pane instead of being silently swallowed. See When Two Builders Edit the Same File.
Checkpoint cascade recovery -- If a crash leaves an artifact missing, the pipeline re-runs from the correct stage instead of handing nothing to the next phase. See Checkpoint Cascade Recovery.
Distinct [info] log color -- Info lines no longer blend with result lines in the TUI.
Ollama default port fixed -- Changed from 11435 to 11434 (the actual Ollama default).

plan_review_enabled (default: false) -- Adds a P+ stage between Planner and Builder that reviews the plan through the orchestrator loop.
```
{
  "plan_review_enabled": true
}
```
phase_isolation (default: false) -- Physically hides artifacts between pipeline stages so the reviewer cannot see planner scratch work.
```
{
  "phase_isolation": true
}
```
budget_recovery_enabled (default: false) -- Tracks per-phase context usage, shows BUDGET OVERRUN warnings, writes budget telemetry to .buildloop/budget-telemetry.json.
```
{
  "budget_recovery_enabled": true
}
```
