Why

  • Opus 4.7 wins SWE-bench Pro (64.3 vs 57.7), MCP-Atlas tool use (+9.2), LMArena Text #1 (first model past 1500 elo), OSWorld (78 vs 75)
  • GPT-5.4 wins Terminal-Bench 2.0 (75.1 vs 69.4, self-reported), edge-case review (dev consensus)

New

  • docs/GPT-5.4-PROMPTING.md — condensed OpenAI prompt guidance (reasoning-effort tiers, output contracts, tool persistence, phase field, gpt-5.4-mini patterns)
  • /octo:setup STEP 2a — one-time migration prompt for users upgrading from ≤9.28; surfaces ~2x cost impact and offers the OCTOPUS_LEGACY_ROLES=1 opt-out

Also fixed

  • #307 — perplexity/openrouter stdin + nested JSON extraction (merged via #310):
    • heartbeat.sh — "$@" <&0 & restores stdin into background shell-function jobs (non-interactive bash otherwise redirects to /dev/null)
    • perplexity.sh — replace flat json_extract "content" with jq -re '.choices[0].message.content' for both perplexity_execute and openrouter_execute_model

Opt-out

export OCTOPUS_LEGACY_ROLES=1   # Restores v9.28 role mapping verbatim
