docker/docker-agent v1.151.0 on GitHub

This release adds Atlas Cloud and API Route as new provider aliases, introduces live background agent visibility in the sidebar, streaming file previews in the lean TUI, and the Command Code harness type, alongside numerous bug fixes for A2A compatibility, provider cloning, think tool concurrency, and TUI settings.

What's New

Adds Atlas Cloud as a built-in OpenAI-compatible provider alias, with automatic ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY discovery and credential forwarding
Adds API Route as an OpenAI-compatible provider alias, using https://global.api-route.com/v1 and API_ROUTE_API_KEY
Adds command-code harness type, enabling agents to be run by the Command Code CLI (cmd)
Shows a live "Background: N running" indicator in the expanded and collapsed Agents sidebar
Streams syntax-highlighted file previews in the lean TUI as write_file tool arguments arrive, with filename-based syntax highlighting and plain-text fallback
Merges streaming deltas in the API server's SSE streams, coalescing per-provider chunks into larger events

Improvements

Shows the command or file path in tool-call titles (e.g., Shell: docker ps -a) instead of just the tool name
Redesigns the TUI settings dialog to be responsive, contiguous within sections, with clickable category tabs and stable geometry across category switches

Bug Fixes

Fixes race condition in the Think tool when multiple concurrent tool calls append to a shared slice without synchronization
Fixes A2A toolset failing to read A2A 1.0 agent cards, which caused no compatible transports found errors when calling agents served by serve a2a
Fixes A2A toolset failing to discover agent cards under a base URL that has a path component
Fixes A2A toolset panicking on null agent card interfaces instead of rejecting them
Fixes A2A toolset not sending configured headers to the endpoint the client selects
Fixes think scratchpads being shared across conversations instead of isolated per conversation
Fixes provider clones not preserving transport, and surfaces clone failures with actionable errors
Fixes routed provider clones not being isolated, and retains thinking-off intent and numeric precision across clones
Fixes serving model accounting for routed turns, so only the successful attempt is priced using the serving leaf's catalogue entry
Fixes serving metadata and fallback sidebar updates not being preserved across retries
Fixes fallback serving model notifications not reaching all UI consumers
Fixes runtime decisions delivered before confirmation waits being dropped
Fixes context_size: 64000 (bare YAML integer) being ignored in Docker Model Runner configuration
Fixes tool-result images being sent incorrectly in chat completions; images are now sent as text (data URI/URL) inside the tool message
Fixes canceled input reads leaking goroutines blocked on the underlying read
Fixes potential deadlock in gitbranch watcher when replacing pending changes on a full channel
Fixes skills not unblocking inherited output pipes on cancellation
Fixes skills caching oversized files instead of rejecting them upfront
Fixes chat server not finalizing conversations before sending terminal responses
Fixes chat server not preserving cached history when execution is canceled
Fixes selected agent not being preserved during background usage updates
Fixes collapsed sidebar not sizing correctly from the wrapped agent summary
Fixes OpenAI requests not being priced by actual service tier (fast/priority/ultrafast premiums now derived per-model from the catalogue)

Technical Changes

Enables 11 additional shared rubocop-go lint cops, bringing enforcement to 34 of 36 available cops
Drops ContextFirstParameter and NoContextField lint suppressions
Decouples attention dialogs, tool expansion, title generation, RAG backend, streaming sender, and command resolution from concrete types via consumer-defined interfaces
Adds Lint/ChannelDirection cop to flag unnecessarily bidirectional channel parameters and return values
Adds Lint/ChannelStateCheck, Lint/CancellationLoop, and Lint/ClosedChannelLoop cops to detect channel drain races and busy-wait loops
Adds cancellation_safe_result_send and nonblocking_channel_replacement lint cops paired with the concurrency fixes
Reduces lint runtime by adopting shared rubocop-go execution infrastructure and targeted hot-path optimizations (deduped interface method sets, memoized escaped channel types, cached position keys)
Binds OAuth callback ports during startup rather than on demand
Shares streaming delta merging logic in pkg/runtime/eventmerge
Adds community resources documentation page and relocates operational guides
Adds Atelier to community resources
