[0.3.25] - 2026-03-19

Added

  • Installed Models Manager — View, launch, and disable models configured in external tools (Goose, Crush, Aider, Qwen, Pi, OpenHands, Amp)
    • Access via Command Palette (Ctrl+P) → "Installed models"
    • Scans all supported tool configs automatically on opening
    • Displays all models per tool (e.g., Crush shows both large and small models)
    • Actions: Launch (Enter), Disable (D) with backup, Reinstall (R)
    • Soft delete: Comments out model entries and saves backups to ~/.free-coding-models-backups.json
  • Full mouse support for the TUI — Click, right-click, double-click, and scroll work throughout the interface
    • Click column headers — Sort by any column (click Rank, Tier, SWE%, CTX, Model, Provider, etc.)
    • Click model rows — Move cursor to any model (left-click)
    • Right-click model rows — Toggle favorite (same as F key)
    • Double-click model rows — Select model and launch (same as Enter)
    • Mouse wheel — Scroll through the main table, overlays (Settings, Help, Changelog), and command palette results
    • Click CLI Tools header — Cycle through tool modes (same as Z key)
    • Click Tier header — Cycle through tier filters (same as T key)
    • Click footer hotkeys — Trigger any visible hotkey from the footer
    • Command palette click — Click inside to select items, double-click to confirm; click outside to close
    • Recommend questionnaire click — Click on option rows to select, double-click to confirm
  • Mouse unit tests — 46 new tests covering SGR sequence parsing, double-click detection, modifiers, and COLUMN_SORT_MAP validation

Changed

  • CLI Tools column redesigned — Renamed from "Compatible with" to "CLI Tools", with left-aligned emoji display (compatible tools packed left instead of fixed slot positions)
  • Sort arrow overflow fixed — SWE%, CTX, Stability, and Uptime columns now properly fit within their widths when sorted (arrow now ↑SWE% instead of ↑ SWE%)
  • Mouse sequence suppression — SGR mouse sequences no longer leak into keypress handlers (prevents spurious sort/filter triggers when clicking)

Fixed

  • Command palette scroll leak — Mouse wheel no longer injects raw SGR sequence bytes into the command palette text input
  • Double-action on model click — Clicking a model row now only moves the cursor; it no longer simultaneously triggers column sorting
  • Mouse event listener order — Fixed race condition where readline emitted keypress events before mouse data was processed

[0.3.24] - 2026-03-19

Added

  • Unique emoji per tool — Every CLI tool now has a dedicated emoji shown in the Compatible column, Z-cycle badge, command palette, help overlay, and README (📦 OpenCode, 🦞 OpenClaw, 💘 Crush, 🪿 Goose, π Pi, 🛠 Aider, 🐉 Qwen, 🤲 OpenHands, ⚡ Amp, 🦘 Rovo, ♊ Gemini)
  • Merged compat column — OpenCode CLI and Desktop share 📦 in a single slot (11 slots instead of 12 separate initials)
  • COMPAT_COLUMN_SLOTS — New export in tool-metadata.js for merged compatible-column rendering
  • Width warning now always shows - Terminal width warning displays every time terminal is resized below 80 columns (previously limited to 2 shows per session)
  • Gemini CLI integration - New CLI-only tool provider with 3 models (Gemini 3 Pro 🆕, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini 2.5 Flash)
  • Rovo Dev CLI integration - New CLI-only tool provider with Claude Sonnet 4 🆕
  • Tool compatibility alerts - When trying to launch Rovo/Gemini models with wrong tool, shows alert and offers to switch
  • Auto-install detection - Prompt to install CLI tools when binary not found (Rovo/Gemini)
  • OpenAI-compatible API support for Gemini - Gemini CLI can use custom providers via environment variables
  • New CLI flags - Added --rovo and --gemini launch options
  • "🆕" badges - Mark newly added models in the table (Claude Sonnet 4, Gemini 3 Pro)
  • OpenCode Zen free models - 5 new free models (Big Pickle, GPT 5 Nano, MiMo V2 Flash Free, MiniMax M2.5 Free, Nemotron 3 Super Free) exclusive to OpenCode CLI/Desktop via opencode-zen provider
  • "Compatible with" column - New TUI column showing colored emojis for each tool a model supports; incompatible tools show dim spaces
  • Tool color system - Each of the 12 supported tools now has a unique RGB color and emoji used in the Z-cycle badge and compatibility column
  • Incompatible model highlighting - When a tool mode is active (via Z), models that can't run with that tool get a dark red background for instant visibility — they stay in their normal sorted position (not pushed to the bottom)
  • Tool compatibility functions - getCompatibleTools() and isModelCompatibleWithTool() in tool-metadata.js for programmatic compatibility checks
  • Incompatible model fallback overlay - When pressing Enter on a model that can't run on the active tool (red-highlighted row), an in-TUI overlay appears with two options: (1) switch to a compatible tool, or (2) pick a similar model by SWE score that works with the current tool
  • findSimilarCompatibleModels() - New function in tool-metadata.js that finds models with closest SWE scores compatible with the active tool
  • Updated provider/model counts - Now 23 providers with 171 models (was 20/160)

Changed

  • Z key cycle - Rovo and Gemini added to tool mode cycle (last in order)
  • Tool metadata - Removed initial field (replaced by emojis), added cliOnly flag for CLI-only tools, emoji and color properties for all 12 tools
  • Provider metadata - Added Rovo, Gemini, and OpenCode Zen provider information
  • Responsive column hiding - Compatible column hides first (before Rank) on narrow terminals
  • Key handler - Zen models auto-switch to OpenCode CLI on launch; API key warnings skip Zen models
  • Documentation - Updated README with CLI-only tools section, Zen models, compatibility matrix

Fixed

  • Missing import error - Fixed getToolMeta not defined in key-handler.js
  • CLI-only tools API key requirement - Gemini CLI and Rovo Dev CLI no longer require API keys to be configured before launching; these tools manage their own authentication
