v2.8.2 makes Tell conversations durable at the project level and corrects the published Xprompt package dependency name.

​
Durable Tell Workspaces

tell init creates a private .tell/arena workspace that stores immutable, canonical conversation turns. Subsequent Tell invocations reopen that history automatically and publish a new turn only after execution completes. New workspace commands provide bounded, provider-free inspection and explicit state management:
  • tell history
  • tell transcript
  • tell context
  • tell compact "summary instruction"
  • tell clear
Named legacy sessions migrate once into a compatible canonical reference while leaving the legacy source untouched. tell --transient "prompt" uses the same selected context without publishing conversation, configuration, or session state. Canonical workspace records hold semantic messages and tool relationships only. Credentials, provider envelopes, headers, usage, timing, rendering data, execution traces, and absolute paths are excluded from canonical hashes.

​
Package Resolution

The Xprompt Composer package is cognesy/xprompt. Internal package metadata now uses that registered name consistently, fixing installs that previously attempted to resolve the nonexistent cognesy/xprompt-php package.

​
Upgrade Notes

Existing Tell commands remain stateless until a project is explicitly initialized with tell init. Use --transient for one-off experiments that must retain the current workspace context without recording the result.
