Add the ability to reset a project to its initial state with two options:
- Quick Reset: Clears features.db, assistant.db, and settings files while
preserving app spec and prompts
- Full Reset: Deletes everything including prompts directory, triggering
the setup wizard for project reconfiguration
Backend changes:
- Add POST /{name}/reset endpoint to projects router with full_reset query param
- Validate agent lock file to prevent reset while agent is running (409 Conflict)
- Dispose database engines before deleting files to release Windows file locks
- Add engine caching to api/database.py for better connection management
- Add dispose_engine() functions to both database modules
- Delete WAL mode journal files (*.db-wal, *.db-shm) during reset
Frontend changes:
- Add ResetProjectModal component with toggle between Quick/Full reset modes
- Add ProjectSetupRequired component shown when has_spec is false
- Add resetProject API function and useResetProject React Query hook
- Integrate reset button in header (disabled when agent running)
- Add 'R' keyboard shortcut to open reset modal
- Show ProjectSetupRequired when project needs setup after full reset
This implements the feature from PR #4 directly on master to avoid merge
conflicts.

Address CodeRabbit feedback - use consistent conditional pattern:
`(max_priority.priority + 1) if max_priority else 1`
This matches the pattern used in create_feature and create_features_bulk.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The REST API skip endpoint was using max_priority + 1000, while the
MCP server used max_priority + 1. This caused priority inflation where
values could reach 10,000+ after multiple skips.
Changed to use + 1 for consistency with mcp_server/feature_mcp.py:345.

Problem:
Several API endpoints return 500 Internal Server Error because datetime
objects are not serializable by Pydantic. The error occurs when:
- GET /agent/{project}/status
- GET /devserver/{project}/status
- GET /schedules/{project}/next
Root cause:
Pydantic models expect strings for Optional datetime fields, but the code
was passing raw datetime objects.
Solution:
Convert datetime objects to ISO 8601 strings using .isoformat() before
returning in Pydantic response models.
Changes:
- server/routers/agent.py: Fix started_at serialization
- server/routers/devserver.py: Fix started_at serialization
- server/routers/schedules.py: Fix next_start/next_end serialization

Major refactoring of the parallel orchestrator to run regression testing
agents independently from coding agents. This improves system reliability
and provides better control over testing behavior.
Key changes:
Database & MCP Layer:
- Add testing_in_progress and last_tested_at columns to Feature model
- Add feature_claim_for_testing() for atomic test claim with retry
- Add feature_release_testing() to release claims after testing
- Refactor claim functions to iterative loops (no recursion)
- Add OperationalError retry handling for transient DB errors
- Reduce MAX_CLAIM_RETRIES from 10 to 5
Orchestrator:
- Decouple testing agent lifecycle from coding agents
- Add _maintain_testing_agents() for continuous testing maintenance
- Fix TOCTOU race in _spawn_testing_agent() - hold lock during spawn
- Add _cleanup_stale_testing_locks() with 30-min timeout
- Fix log ordering - start_session() before stale flag cleanup
- Add stale testing_in_progress cleanup on startup
Dead Code Removal:
- Remove count_testing_in_concurrency from entire stack (12+ files)
- Remove ineffective with_for_update() from features router
API & UI:
- Pass testing_agent_ratio via CLI to orchestrator
- Update testing prompt template to use new claim/release tools
- Rename UI label to "Regression Agents" with clearer description
- Add process_utils.py for cross-platform process tree management
Testing agents now:
- Run continuously as long as passing features exist
- Can re-test features multiple times to catch regressions
- Are controlled by fixed count (0-3) via testing_agent_ratio setting
- Have atomic claiming to prevent concurrent testing of same feature

Complete the defense-in-depth approach from PR #53 by adding explicit
in_progress=False to all remaining feature creation locations. This
ensures consistency with the MCP server pattern and prevents potential
NULL values in the in_progress field.
Changes:
- server/routers/features.py: Add in_progress=False to create_feature()
and create_features_bulk() endpoints
- server/services/expand_chat_session.py: Add in_progress=False to
_create_features_bulk() in the expand chat session
- api/migration.py: Add in_progress field handling in JSON migration,
reading from source data with False as default
This follows up on PR #53 which added nullable=False constraints and
fixed existing NULL values, but only updated the MCP server creation
paths. Now all 6 feature creation locations explicitly set both
passes=False and in_progress=False.

Problem: Features with NULL values in passes/in_progress fields caused
Pydantic validation errors in the API.
Solution - defense in depth:
1. Database model: Add nullable=False to passes and in_progress columns
2. Migration: Auto-fix existing NULL values to False on database connect
3. API layer: Handle NULL gracefully in feature_to_response (treat as False)
4. MCP server: Explicitly set in_progress=False when creating features
This ensures:
- New databases cannot have NULL boolean fields
- Existing databases are auto-migrated on connect
- Even if NULL values exist, they're handled gracefully at runtime

Add support for using alternative API endpoints (like Zhipu AI's GLM models)
without affecting the user's global Claude Code settings. Configuration is
done via AutoCoder's .env file.
Changes:
- Add API_ENV_VARS constant and pass through ClaudeAgentOptions.env parameter
in client.py and all server service files (spec, expand, assistant sessions)
- Add glm_mode to settings API response to indicate when GLM is configured
- Add purple "GLM" badge in UI header when GLM mode is active
- Update setup status to accept GLM credentials as valid authentication
- Update .env.example with GLM configuration documentation
- Update README.md with AutoCoder-scoped GLM setup instructions
Supported environment variables:
- ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL: Custom API endpoint (e.g., https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic)
- ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN: API authentication token
- API_TIMEOUT_MS: Request timeout in milliseconds
- ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL: Model override for Sonnet
- ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL: Model override for Opus
- ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL: Model override for Haiku
This approach routes API requests through the alternative endpoint while
keeping all Claude Code features (MCP servers, hooks, permissions) intact.

Remove automatic subfolder creation when creating projects. Users now
select the exact folder they want to use, enabling support for existing
projects without requiring folder names to match project names.
Changes:
- NewProjectModal.tsx: Remove path concatenation that appended project
name to selected folder. Update instruction text to clarify users
select THE project folder, not a parent location.
- FolderBrowser.tsx: Add visual indicator "This folder will contain
all project files" to clarify selection behavior.
- projects.py: Add duplicate path validation to prevent multiple
projects from registering the same directory. Includes case-insensitive
path comparison on Windows for proper cross-platform support.
This allows users to:
- Use Auto Coder on existing projects by selecting their folder directly
- Have project names that differ from folder names (name is a registry label)
- Get clear feedback when a path is already registered under another name

Add multiple escape hatches to prevent users from getting stuck during
spec creation when the WebSocket completion signal fails.
Changes:
- Add "Exit to Project" button always visible in chat header
- Add /exit command detection to immediately exit to project
- Add backend GET /api/spec/status/{project} endpoint to poll status file
- Add getSpecStatus() API function in frontend
- Add status file polling (every 3s) in useSpecChat hook
- Update create-spec.md with status file write instructions
How it works:
1. Happy path: Claude writes .spec_status.json as final step, UI polls
and detects completion, shows "Continue to Project" button
2. Escape hatch: User can always click "Exit to Project" or type /exit
to instantly select the project and close modal, then manually start
the agent from the main UI
This ensures users always have a way forward even if the WebSocket
completion detection fails due to tool call tracking issues.

## Updated Components
### Server Routers
- `projects.py`: Uses registry instead of fixed generations/ directory
- `agent.py`: Uses registry for project path lookups
- `features.py`: Uses registry for database path resolution
- `spec_creation.py`: Uses registry for WebSocket project resolution
### Process Manager (`server/services/process_manager.py`)
- Fixed sandbox issue: subprocess now uses project_dir as cwd
- This allows the Claude SDK sandbox to access external project directories
### Schemas (`server/schemas.py`)
- Added `has_children` to DirectoryEntry
- Added `in_progress` to ProjectStats
- Added path field to ProjectSummary and ProjectDetail
### UI Components
- `NewProjectModal.tsx`: Multi-step wizard with folder selection
- Added clarifying text about subfolder creation
- Fixed text color visibility issues
### API Client (`ui/src/lib/api.ts`)
- Added filesystem API functions (listDirectory, createDirectory)
- Fixed Windows path splitting for directory creation
### Documentation
- Updated CLAUDE.md with registry system details
- Updated command examples for absolute paths
## Security Improvements
- Blocked `.` and `..` in directory names to prevent traversal
- Added path blocking check in project creation
- UNC path blocking throughout filesystem API

Implements feature locking to prevent multiple agent sessions from working
on the same feature simultaneously. This is essential for parallel agent
execution.
Database changes:
- Add `in_progress` boolean column to Feature model
- Add migration function to handle existing databases
MCP Server tools:
- Add `feature_mark_in_progress` - lock feature when starting work
- Add `feature_clear_in_progress` - unlock feature when abandoning
- Update `feature_get_next` to skip in-progress features
- Update `feature_get_stats` to include in_progress count
- Update `feature_mark_passing` and `feature_skip` to clear in_progress
Backend updates:
- Update progress.py to track and display in_progress count
- Update features router to properly categorize in-progress features
- Update WebSocket to broadcast in_progress in progress updates
- Add in_progress to FeatureResponse schema
Frontend updates:
- Add in_progress to TypeScript types (Feature, ProjectStats, WSProgressMessage)
- Update useWebSocket hook to track in_progress state
Prompt template:
- Add instructions for agents to mark features in-progress immediately
- Document new MCP tools in allowed tools section
Also fixes spec_chat_session.py to use absolute project path instead of
relative path for consistency with CLI behavior.
