The PR replaces the old fuzzy 3-way merge recovery for stale hashline anchors with a stricter two-tier process (direct apply, then structured pre-shift validation) and adds corrected-anchor retry feedback, preventing silent wrong-content merges when files change between read and edit.

Why It MattersCoding agents that patch files after another process modified the same file are now less likely to silently corrupt outputs, so teams get clearer recovery behavior and fewer undetected bad merges in long-running edit workflows. The change removes fuzzy merging, adds strict re-validation and explicit correction feedback, and hardens malformed-anchor handling; monitor fallback frequency under heavily diverged files and whether cache consistency remains reliable when partial reads are used versus full-file snapshots.

AGOR now sets `GIT_COMMITTER_NAME` and `GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL` from `GIT_AUTHOR_NAME` and `GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL` when a committer variable is missing, preventing commits from inheriting a different committer identity from the executor host’s `~/.gitconfig` and producing mixed PR attribution.

Why It MattersDevelopers and operators using AGOR for automated commits will see PR author/committer metadata stay consistent with the intended identity, reducing confusion and incorrect attribution when only author vars are configured and preventing false ownership signals in review and audit workflows.

The PR fixes a framework-adapter regression by re-enabling core execution paths for AutoGen v0.4 and AG2 inside PraisonAI, removing a major blocker where these adapters could fail with execution errors instead of running tasks.

Why It MattersDevelopers using PraisonAI with AutoGen v0.4 or AG2 can run their multi-agent workflows again instead of stopping on adapter execution failures, so teams can keep automation and orchestration flows operational without emergency fallbacks. This now points to a concrete adapter-path fix (async run + tool/termination wiring) in the framework wrappers; in production, monitor release behavior across optional dependency combinations (AutoGen/AG2 versions and installability) because the fixes are concentrated in optional-framework paths not yet fully covered by automated tests.

This change adds a Windows-only normalization step that rewrites unquoted `nul` output redirects (such as `> nul`, `>> nul`, `1> nul`, `2>> nul`, `&> nul`) to `/dev/null` before executing commands through Git Bash, preventing the runtime from creating an unintended `nul` file.

Why It MattersWindows users and operators running AI-generated commands through `pi` in PowerShell (and similar terminals) should see fewer unexpected side effects, because redirecting to `nul` will no longer create stray files that can clutter working directories or subtly break scripts. The fix is scoped to win32 + Git Bash and only applies outside quotes, with explicit coverage of common redirect variants (`>`, `>>`, `1>`, `2>`, `2>>`, `&>`, `&>>`); follow up by watching whether other Windows shell backends expose the same redirect behavior and whether rare quoting/redirection combinations still bypass the normalization.

What ChangedIn v15.1.7, the AI coding-agent adds an Anthropic fast execution mode that automatically falls back when that path cannot be used, giving teams a potentially faster default path without increasing interruption risk.
Why It MattersDevelopers using the coding agent can get quicker AI responses in typical runs, while failed fast-path calls now continue automatically through fallback, reducing stalled coding assistant sessions that previously required manual retries. Technically, this introduces an Anthropic-backed fast mode plus automatic fallback logic inside the agent flow. Watch whether fallback triggers too often, whether prompt quality drifts after mode switches, and whether latency spikes appear during repeated failover because that can indicate unstable provider-level behavior.

Why It MattersDevelopers can now target a concrete released version of claude-code-from-scratch in integrations and deployment pipelines, reducing ambiguity and version drift risk compared with pulling from head branches, but the release note gives only a bare tag-level declaration so teams should watch subsequent patch releases for any API, behavior, or setup changes before broad production adoption.

ContributionIntroduces a concrete environment-handling fix: missing `GIT_COMMITTER_*` variables are auto-populated from explicitly set `GIT_AUTHOR_*` values in the same session, while explicitly provided committer variables are never overwritten.
ImpactDevelopers and operators using AGOR for automated commits will see PR author/committer metadata stay consistent with the intended identity, reducing confusion and incorrect attribution when only author vars are configured and preventing false ownership signals in review and audit workflows.

The PR replaces the old fuzzy 3-way merge recovery for stale hashline anchors with a stricter two-tier process (direct apply, then structured pre-shift validation) and adds corrected-anchor retry feedback, preventing silent wrong-content merges when files change between read and edit.
ContributionImplemented a safer stale-anchor edit recovery path that first applies when anchors still match, then shifts anchors through a structured diff when line positions drift, and finally rewrites model input with corrected anchors for immediate retry, while removing the previous fuzzy 3-way merge path.
ImpactCoding agents that patch files after another process modified the same file are now less likely to silently corrupt outputs, so teams get clearer recovery behavior and fewer undetected bad merges in long-running edit workflows.

ContributionAdded a new AI coding-agent execution mode that routes requests through Anthropic fast mode and transparently switches back to the regular path on failure, changing agent behavior from single-path dispatch to failover-aware dispatch.

ContributionImplemented a concrete command-string fix in the Windows execution path: unquoted NUL redirection targets are normalized to `/dev/null` while existing operators are preserved, stopping commands like `echo hello > nul` from creating an accidental file.
ImpactWindows users and operators running AI-generated commands through `pi` in PowerShell (and similar terminals) should see fewer unexpected side effects, because redirecting to `nul` will no longer create stray files that can clutter working directories or subtly break scripts.

v15.1.6 fixes a planning path bug by deriving a plan title when `resolve.extra.title` is not a string, preventing plan title resolution failures in that malformed-metadata case.
ContributionAdded fallback logic in the plan resolver to recover a title when `resolve.extra.title` is malformed, instead of treating it as a hard failure during plan generation.
ImpactAutomation operators using this planner will be less likely to see plan creation stop on metadata that uses an invalid title type, so agent workflows can continue without manual correction and still produce named plans. Monitor whether downstream systems that display or sort by plan title behave correctly with derived names, since this change only covers the title-type edge case and related metadata fields may still cause inconsistent plan identity behavior.
The PR fixes a framework-adapter regression by re-enabling core execution paths for AutoGen v0.4 and AG2 inside PraisonAI, removing a major blocker where these adapters could fail with execution errors instead of running tasks.
ContributionRepaired a dead-code regression in the adapter layer (~780 lines) so the AutoGenV4Adapter and AG2Adapter expose working async execution paths with model-client/task termination/tool support, which were previously disabled and could raise NotImplementedError during runtime.

ContributionIntroduced a coherent migration that deprecates the `bd` alias path, adds an automatic guard that prefers the real `br` binary over stale alias definitions, and updates ACFS surfaces (`--no-br`, `AGENTS_ENABLE_BR`, installer scripts, tutorials, and tests) to remove legacy `bd` usage.
