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

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.

This major update replaces the fixed `generations/` directory with support
for storing projects in any directory on the filesystem. Projects are now
tracked via a cross-platform registry system.
## New Features
### Project Registry (`registry.py`)
- Cross-platform registry storing project name-to-path mappings
- Platform-specific config locations:
- Windows: %APPDATA%\autonomous-coder\projects.json
- macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/autonomous-coder/projects.json
- Linux: ~/.config/autonomous-coder/projects.json
- POSIX path format for cross-platform compatibility
- File locking for concurrent access safety (fcntl/msvcrt)
- Atomic writes via temp file + rename to prevent corruption
- Fixed Windows file locking issue with tempfile.mkstemp()
### Filesystem Browser API (`server/routers/filesystem.py`)
- REST endpoints for browsing directories server-side
- Cross-platform support with blocked system paths:
- Windows: C:\Windows, Program Files, ProgramData, etc.
- macOS: /System, /Library, /private, etc.
- Linux: /etc, /var, /usr, /bin, etc.
- Universal blocked paths: .ssh, .aws, .gnupg, .docker, etc.
- Hidden file detection (Unix dot-prefix + Windows attributes)
- UNC path blocking for security
- Windows drive enumeration via ctypes
- Directory creation with validation
- Added `has_children` field to DirectoryEntry schema
### UI Folder Browser (`ui/src/components/FolderBrowser.tsx`)
- React component for selecting project directories
- Breadcrumb navigation with clickable segments
- Windows drive selector
- New folder creation inline
- Fixed text visibility with explicit color values
## 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

- 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

- 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.
