Complete project rebrand from AutoCoder to AutoForge, touching 62 files
across Python backend, FastAPI server, React UI, documentation, config,
and CI/CD.
Key changes:
- Rename autocoder_paths.py -> autoforge_paths.py with backward-compat
migration from .autocoder/ -> .autoforge/ directories
- Update registry.py to migrate ~/.autocoder/ -> ~/.autoforge/ global
config directory with fallback support
- Update security.py with fallback reads from legacy .autocoder/ paths
- Rename .claude/commands and skills from gsd-to-autocoder-spec to
gsd-to-autoforge-spec
- Update all Python modules: client, prompts, progress, agent,
orchestrator, server routers and services
- Update React UI: package.json name, index.html title, localStorage
keys, all documentation sections, component references
- Update start scripts (bat/sh/py), examples, and .env.example
- Update CLAUDE.md and README.md with new branding and paths
- Update test files for new .autoforge/ directory structure
- Transfer git remote from leonvanzyl/autocoder to
AutoForgeAI/autoforge
Backward compatibility preserved: legacy .autocoder/ directories are
auto-detected and migrated on next agent start. Config fallback chain
checks both new and old paths.

Allow agents to read files from directories outside the project folder
via the EXTRA_READ_PATHS environment variable.
Changes:
- Add EXTRA_READ_PATHS_VAR constant in client.py
- Parse comma-separated paths and add Read/Glob/Grep permissions
- Log configured extra read paths on agent startup
- Document the feature in .env.example
Usage:
EXTRA_READ_PATHS=/path/to/docs,/path/to/libs
Security: External paths are read-only (no Write/Edit permissions)

- Single accent color (Twitter blue) for all status indicators
- Rounded corners (1.3rem base)
- Fix dark mode contrast and visibility
- Make KanbanColumn themeable via CSS classes
Backend Changes:
- Default Playwright browser changed to Firefox (lower CPU)
- Default Playwright mode changed to headless (saves resources)
- Add PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSER env var support
Documentation:
- Add CUSTOM_UPDATES.md with all customizations documented
- Update .env.example with new Playwright options

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.

Add support for multiple terminal instances per project with tabbed
navigation in the debug panel. Each terminal maintains its own PTY
session and WebSocket connection.
Backend changes:
- Add terminal metadata storage (id, name, created_at) per project
- Update terminal_manager.py with create, list, rename, delete functions
- Extend WebSocket endpoint to /api/terminal/ws/{project}/{terminal_id}
- Add REST endpoints for terminal CRUD operations
- Implement deferred PTY start with initial resize message
Frontend changes:
- Create TerminalTabs component with neobrutalism styling
- Support double-click rename and right-click context menu
- Fix terminal switching issues with transform-based hiding
- Use isActiveRef to prevent stale closure bugs in connect()
- Add double requestAnimationFrame for reliable activation timing
- Implement proper dimension validation in fitTerminal()
Other updates:
- Add GLM model configuration documentation to README
- Simplify client.py by removing CLI_COMMAND support
- Update chat session services with consistent patterns

Add support for alternative CLI commands via CLI_COMMAND environment
variable, allowing users to use CLIs other than 'claude' (e.g., 'glm').
This change affects all server services and the main CLI launcher.
Key changes:
- Configurable CLI command via CLI_COMMAND env var (defaults to 'claude')
- Configurable Playwright headless mode via PLAYWRIGHT_HEADLESS env var
- Pin claude-agent-sdk version to <0.2.0 for stability
- Use tail -500 for progress notes to avoid context overflow
- Add project delete functionality with confirmation dialog
- Replace single-line input with resizable textarea in spec chat
- Add coder agent configuration for code implementation tasks
- Ignore issues/ directory in git
Files modified:
- client.py: CLI command and Playwright headless configuration
- server/main.py, server/services/*: CLI command configuration
- start.py: CLI command configuration and error messages
- .env.example: Document new environment variables
- .gitignore: Ignore issues/ directory
- requirements.txt: Pin SDK version
- .claude/templates/*: Use tail -500 for progress notes
- ui/src/components/ProjectSelector.tsx: Add delete button
- ui/src/components/SpecCreationChat.tsx: Auto-resizing textarea
- ui/src/components/ConfirmDialog.tsx: New reusable dialog
- .claude/agents/coder.md: New coder agent configuration
