The system prompt is made once per session (start, compaction, model
switch), kept in session_meta and resent byte for byte; it holds no
date. What changes mid-session -- the date, a mode the person chose, a
plan or memory or instruction file they edited, a personality, MCP
instructions that arrived later -- is a <session-note> on the next user
message, stored with it. The tool list is fixed for the session:
plan_submit is always offered and answers unavailable outside plan
mode, the wrap-up keeps the tools and runs no call, a withdrawn tool
stays listed and answers its refusal; the first request waits up to
mcp_wait_ms for MCP servers. Compaction asks for its summary as the
next turn of the same conversation. Cached input tokens are parsed
(incl. llama.cpp timings), stored per request and shown in /context.
Spec: context.md §7/§10, loop.json context.note (+ plan_ended,
plan_own, personal, empty, mcp_wait_ms), modes.json plan.refused,
compact.md without the transcript heading. Conformance area prefix.

LLeMbas CLI 2.0 is LLeMbas-server-specific (CLI rule 2). Removed: the
anthropic, gemini, ollama and responses clients, context discovery and
llama-swap unloading (discover.ts), the Connection schema with its dialect,
auth, key_cmd, discover, unload_url and one_model_at_a_time, the model
`fallback` (it only ever moved to another server), effort_map and cache, and
the multi-connection refs. Kept: openai-chat, http, sse, think, effort,
tokens and all of src/lembas.
- connections.yaml holds the login (`type: webui`, as lembas login writes
it). A custom entry from 1.x is read past with a warning that says how to
log in, so an old file still starts; with several logins left, the latest
is used and the others named.
- A model's ref is the id the server serves it under; the older forms
(`<login>/<id>`, `<login>/<model>`) still resolve and config.yaml is
rewritten once. Without a login there is no model, and the error (and the
first-run screen, now the sign-in alone) says `lembas login <address>`.
- A login to another server signs this machine out of the previous one.
- The window is the server's word (no discovery); a capacity group comes
from the server's `capacity.group` alone; embeddings use the server's
/v1/embeddings.
- `lembas models` lists the server's models; install.sh's starter files, the
README and the JSON schemas say the same.
Tests: every fixture is a login now (the fake server lists models, answers
other GETs with 404, and can hand one model to another script, as a server
with several backends); the dialect suites and the cross-connection tests are
gone with their code.

An image counted as half a million tokens: the context estimate measured its
base64 as text, so a 1-3 MB screenshot read as "context at 150-280%" the
moment view_image added it, and the session compacted after every image.
An image now counts by its dimensions (28 px patches, at most 16k tokens, a
flat 1600 when unreadable) everywhere the CLI estimates -- the meter, pruning,
/context and the no-usage fallback of all five dialects. Images over 1600 px
or 500 KB are shrunk to 1600 px when ImageMagick is there.

The first public release of LLeMbas CLI: a terminal coding agent and project manager for any LLM
API, with permission modes, git snapshots, memory and skills, knowledge bases, MCP, voice, and a
link to a LLeMbas instance whose web UI can work its sessions too. Signed Linux binaries for x64
and arm64.
