v0.8.14 / v0.11.2
LingTai TUI/Portal v0.8.14 + Kernel v0.11.2
This paired release cleans up the skill and manual surfaces that agents read every day. TUI/Portal v0.8.14 continues the move from large top-level utility documents toward router + reference skill layouts, consolidates research/media helpers under Swiss Knife, and tightens setup/preset reliability. Kernel v0.11.2 mirrors that work inside intrinsic manuals, splits the consequential-molt scaffold into a psyche-manual asset, adds Cursor daemon/backend and validation fixes, and includes a late rescue fix for Codex/gpt-5.5 agents by scrubbing rejected Responses tool schemas and removing the duplicate email scheduler in favor of host cron. Release window: 49 commits, 31 merged PRs, 172 files changed, +10,990 / -5,476 lines.
Upgrade / runtime
The kernel/runtime package lingtai==0.11.2 belongs to the TUI-managed project virtualenv path. Ordinary LingTai projects should upgrade through the TUI/Homebrew flow; bare pip install remains a development, diagnostic, or clean-venv validation path rather than the normal user upgrade path.
New features and improvements
-
01
Skill library cleanup: routers at the top, references at the leaves
The most visible work is not a command-line feature, but the shape of the manuals agents load. Long utility skills now expose a smaller routing surface and move heavy details into named references or assets.
-
lingtai-issue-reportnow routes to an evidence checklist, report template, and filing flow instead of mixing the whole process into one document. -
listen,academic-research,vision,dj, andfind-something-to-domoved underswiss-knife/reference/, making the top-level skill catalog read more like entry points than a flat toolbox. - Portal guide, tutorial guide, recipe, dev guide, daily reflection, and web-browsing utilities continue the nested-reference pattern introduced in earlier releases.
Why it matters:Resident prompts should remember where to go, not carry every procedure. Smaller routers make the system prompt lighter, while leaf references keep detailed workflows available when the task actually needs them.

02
Molt and procedures: the full handoff scaffold moves to the right layer
The old
lingtai-molt-templateutility is folded into the kernel-side operating model. The resident procedure now points clearly topsyche-manual, and the full nine-section consequential-molt template lives as a packaged asset.- Kernel procedures now make the “read psyche-manual before a consequential molt” route explicit.
-
psyche-manualbecame a lighter router withassets/molt-template.mdas the full scaffold. - Changed docs replace stale “Codex Cheat Sheet” wording with durable-memory and successor-briefing language.
Why it matters:A molt summary is not a transcript; it is the next self’s operating brief. Keeping the full scaffold in the intrinsic psyche manual makes that rule available to every agent without bloating the always-on prompt.

03
Release-window rescue: Codex/gpt-5.5 tool schema scrub and scheduler removal
The final kernel rescue commit is included in this release because it directly affects whether Codex-backed gpt-5.5 agents can boot and call tools reliably.
- Merge
70e7c02carries commits3086312andadea979: tool schemas are scrubbed before being sent to the OpenAI/Codex Responses backend, removing JSON Schema shapes that the backend rejects. - The built-in email recurring-send scheduler was removed from schema/i18n/manager code; recurring work now routes back to host cron / launchd / systemd as documented in
bash-manual. - The cleanup touched seven kernel files (
+83 / -460) and the release tests were aligned to assert that the scheduler surface is absent rather than accidentally still advertised.
Why it matters:The fix reduces a hard availability failure mode: agents should not be blocked before their first real action because the model backend rejects the tool definitions themselves. Removing the duplicate scheduler also leaves one clearer scheduling path.

Reliability polish across setup, presets, validation, and release hygiene
Alongside the documentation and skill refactors, this window includes smaller fixes that make setup, testing, and release verification less surprising.
- TUI setup/preset/API-key handling and MiniMax-M3 default updates were validated through Go tests and release builds.
- Portal release validation now explicitly builds
portal/webbefore portal Go tests so embedded assets exist. - The release gate normalized
docs/stars/stars.csvline endings sogit diff --checkstays clean.
Why it matters:Small release-gate fixes are easy to dismiss, but they are exactly what keeps the next release from spending time rediscovering the same failure modes.
