mistral-vibe 2.26.1

v2.26.1

on Python PyPI

Added

• The app-server reports which process holds a stored session, and pushes a change when that process lets go of it, so a client can show a session open elsewhere as read-only
• Rust CLI: Configure proxy and SSL certificate settings with /proxy-setup.
• Rust CLI: The narrator reads each turn's summary aloud and shows a speaking status row that Esc or Ctrl+C stops.
• Rust CLI: /plugins browses the session's plugins, and /reload-plugins re-pins them and reports what changed.
• Rust CLI: Free-text answers to agent questions accept multiple lines, multi-line pastes, and click-to-place caret.
• Rust CLI: In the /model and /thinking pickers, s applies the selection for the current session only, while Enter still saves it to your config.
• Rust CLI: Picking a model immediately opens the thinking level picker for that model, and both are applied together (Esc cancels both); after a session-only model pick, the thinking level is session-only too.
• nix run .#rustCli to launch the Rust terminal instead of the Python one
• Rust CLI: /whoami shows the start of your API key, its scope, and its access scope.
• Space toggles the focused checkbox in multi-select questions.
• enable_background_processes = false stops the agent from starting background processes
• enable_subagents = false takes subagents away from the agent on the default runtime.
• Disable main input cursor blinking with cursor_blink = false or /config, keeping a steady caret in both Python and Rust terminals.
• Document Library connector: search, list, open, and fetch documents from your Mistral document libraries directly in Vibe.
• export.json records steps, the number of model calls the agent made
• export.json lists the session's config issues, such as a skill it could not load, under warnings
• vibe -p reads the prompt from --prompt-file or stdin, and --output-dir writes an export.json and the session journal on every exit.
• vibe -p --time-limit SECONDS stops the run at a deadline; SIGTERM and Ctrl-C stop it the same way, and the session can be resumed.
• Per-model top_p and max_output_tokens config settings.
• Experimental experimental_enable_model_catalog config flag (default off) — groundwork for the upcoming model catalog, no visible effect yet.
• New api_stream_idle_timeout setting (off by default) fails a model response that goes silent for that many seconds.
• vibe -p --agent-socket sessions run background processes in their POSIX sandbox, as enable_background_processes says, instead of always turning them off
• New title_prompt_id config setting to override the prompt used to generate session titles: built-in session_title or a custom .md file from ~/.vibe/prompts/ or .vibe/prompts/.

Changed

• New sessions start their first turn faster, and long sessions open, load older messages and resume sooner.
• /status shows token counts in a compact form (e.g. 1.23M) followed by the exact value, dimmed, with thousands separators.
• The context usage indicator and subagent token counts round to three significant digits (e.g. 12.5k instead of 12k).
• Rust CLI: Queue selection removes the highlighted prompt with Backspace or Ctrl+C instead of Backspace or Delete.
• Rust CLI: Tool group headers count each kind of call (e.g. "Read 10 files, ran 3 commands"), a single visible entry is no longer folded into a group, and result borders line up under their toggle arrows, wrapped headers included.
• The off thinking level now actually disables reasoning on models whose offered levels include it, instead of silently leaving the server's default in charge.
• The default model's thinking levels are now off and high; a stored low pick resets to off and a stored medium pick resets to high.
• The default model declares a 256k context window; auto-compaction now derives from it.
• A stale pin to the removed local model now warns and falls back to the hosted default.
• Rust CLI: In text inputs, Cmd+Left/Right, Home/End and Ctrl+A/E at a line edge move on to the previous line start or the next line end.
• Rust CLI: Shortcut hints use the same wording everywhere, and j/k navigate every list.
• Rust CLI: /config, /mcp, /plugins and the project picker search with /; Esc leaves the search, then clears it, then closes. /plugins now shows its search field under the title, like /mcp and /config.
• Rust CLI: Every list marks the focused row with the same highlight bar, and a green › marks the current value.
• Rust CLI: Lists wrap at both ends and scroll back to their very top, Esc always goes back one level, and numbered options take their digit.
• Your Mistral identity and plan now show in /whoami and the banner even when the active model isn't a Mistral model.
• Rust CLI: Typing /, ! or & over a fully selected input switches to that mode, and so does pasting a /command or !command into an empty input.
• Rust CLI: the startup banner hint now reads "You are using the new Vibe TUI. To switch back to the classic TUI, set the VIBE_CLI environment variable to python."
• Stopping a background process now also stops what it started in the background, and returns only once all of it has exited
• A background process now keeps running until everything it started in the background has exited, not just its shell
• The Document Library connector is now gated behind the experimental_enable_document_library_connector config flag (off by default) while its tools stabilize.
• vibe -p exits 1 on usage or config errors, 2 on infrastructure failures and 3 when a limit or a model refusal stopped the agent
• vibe -p --max-turns now exits 3, not 1, when the agent reaches the turn limit; so do --max-tokens and --max-price, including when the budget ran out as the agent finished
• Model requests retry HTTP 520.
• Rust CLI: The welcome banner starts at the top left, with the conversation and what's new flowing below it while queued messages stay at the bottom.

Fixed

• Browser sign-in now explains when your workspace can't be used and asks you to select another one, instead of showing a generic error.
• Rust CLI: Ctrl+G opens the current input in $VISUAL / $EDITOR and loads the saved text back.
• Rust CLI: A chat input selection no longer reappears after an approval, a question, or the subagent list takes focus.
• Rust CLI: Text stays selectable and copyable while an approval, question, picker, or other bottom panel is open, including the transcript, the loading row, and the panel itself.
• /reload-plugins now offers the skills of a plugin installed during the session, without a restart.
• Rust CLI: Copying a selection no longer adds line breaks or indentation where long text wraps on screen.
• Rust CLI: Copying wide characters such as CJK text no longer inserts a space after each one.
• Rust CLI: Selecting or copying a wrapped or multi-line transcript row no longer picks up its hang indent.
• Rust CLI: Long lines in an expanded thought now wrap inside its border and indent.
• Rust CLI: Queue selection and edit controls replace the loading hints for as long as the mode lasts, instead of a notice that timed out or lingered.
• Rust CLI: The loading hints no longer offer steering or queued-message cancellation when Enter or Ctrl+C would do something else.
• Rust CLI: Long free-text answers to agent questions wrap instead of overflowing the question box.
• Rust CLI: Answered questions show a check mark instead of an expand arrow that did nothing.
• A corrupted MCP OAuth token in the keychain no longer crashes Vibe; the server just asks you to log in again
• Tool calls with a very large result (e.g. reading a big file) keep their tool-specific header, marked as truncated, instead of showing as a generic tool call.
• File paths in read, write, edit, and search headers are shown relative to the working directory or workspace root that contains them.
• Rust CLI: Rewinding to a skill invocation reloads it in / mode with the caret at the end and that skill highlighted in the completion menu.
• CI: fix Nix build step
• Prompts sent by a scheduled loop now appear in the conversation, marked with the loop that fired them.
• Scratchpad notes now display like file contents instead of a raw tool result dump.
• Rust CLI: Copying a transcript selection keeps the blank lines and wrapped characters it shows, and drops the spacing between messages.
• Rewinding to an earlier message no longer fails after the session was titled or renamed.
• Rust CLI: /clear resets the context window display right away instead of keeping the previous conversation's usage until the next turn.
• Rust CLI: Dead-key and IME previews show at the input caret instead of in the loader.
• Rust CLI: Code blocks and edit diffs wrap long lines between words instead of splitting words, and continuation rows no longer start with a space.
• Rust CLI: On terminal (ANSI) themes, code blocks are separated from the text around them by a blank row.
• Rust CLI: Text with /, ! or & added before an existing message, or after leading spaces, is sent as a message instead of running a command, and stays one when rewound or edited in the queue.
• Rust CLI: Backspace at the start of a /, ! or & input leaves the mode and keeps the text.
• vibe -p no longer offers the cron tool, whose calls always failed in a headless session.
• A model request that times out now shows a readable error instead of a blank one, and is recorded in the log.
• A question or approval the agent asks while a steered message is waiting is no longer hidden, so the session no longer stalls on "Preparing a question".
• Rust CLI: A long working directory is shortened with an ellipsis so the token counter stays visible in the bottom bar.
• Closing a session no longer waits for its archived worktree to be deleted.
• Smart approve asks less often for routine work, such as edits in a worktree, CI file changes and local commits.
• Tool results with accents or non-Latin text now reach the model as written instead of as escape sequences.
• Fix turns crashing with "Completed public history entry is frozen" when a backend keeps streaming reasoning or text after a tool call

Removed

• The bundled Devstral (local) model
• New --experimental-harness turns no longer re-state scratchpad notes into prompts, so they no longer add <vibe-scratchpad> blocks to the transcript.
