A runtime fix adds a periodic housekeeper for Node’s global `perf_hooks` buffer in nanocoder’s Ink sessions, clearing marks/measures/resource timings every 30 seconds so long interactive workflows no longer accumulate unbounded performance entries that caused JavaScript heap exhaustion.
What ChangedA runtime fix adds a periodic housekeeper for Node’s global `perf_hooks` buffer in nanocoder’s Ink sessions, clearing marks/measures/resource timings every 30 seconds so long interactive workflows no longer accumulate unbounded performance entries that caused JavaScript heap exhaustion.
Why It MattersOperators running long nanocoder interactive workflows with many subagent turns should see fewer abrupt `JavaScript heap out of memory` crashes, which means fewer failed batches and fewer manual restarts during extended sessions; technically, the fix adds a periodic cleanup of Node `perf_hooks` entries (`measure`, `mark`, and resource timings) before rendering begins so repeated React and HTTP timing calls cannot silently bloat the global buffer. Continue to watch if 30-second cleaning remains sufficient under extreme render/request rates and whether any downstream tooling expected those in-process timing entries for diagnostics.

The pull request changes chat streaming to stop subscribing to the `values` SSE mode, which was sending full-message snapshots on every graph step. It now keeps only `messages-tuple`, `updates`, and `custom`, reducing transfer for long-running tasks from about 6.56 MB to 1.64 MB (~75% reduction).

Why It MattersChat users and operators running long tasks will experience much less network chatter and smoother streaming because each step no longer retransmits the entire conversation history, but teams integrating custom SSE consumers should verify they do not depend on `values` snapshots for state reconstruction after rollout. The remaining stream still carries token-level updates and other metadata via `messages-tuple`, `updates`, and `custom`, while observed payload size drops from ~6.56 MB to ~1.64 MB per long task (~75%), so this is worth tracking for both cost and UI responsiveness at scale.

PR #265 introduces a new AI-DLC resiliency extension with a 15-rule baseline mapped to the AWS Well-Architected Reliability Pillar, adds an opt-in flow in the requirements phase to capture RTO/RPO and DR strategy via RESILIENCY-02, and provides baseline/resilient CloudFormation templates plus a review skill so workflows can validate resiliency compliance end-to-end.

Why It MattersApplication teams using AI-DLC can now opt into a resilience-first workflow before implementation, which helps ensure observability, failover planning, and backup/disaster-readiness are defined early instead of being discovered late in deployment, reducing operator surprise during incidents. The extension adds a 15-rule reliability baseline (covering 11/13 Well-Architected Reliability questions), and A/B testing in the PR showed compliance improve from 3/15 to 9/15 rules when enabled, with added alarms, tracing, health checks, cross-region DR resources, and RTO/RPO tagging visible in generated artifacts. Continue monitoring adoption of the opt-in path, drift between template edits and review outputs, and the remaining coverage gaps (REL2/REL3) because those could still create reliability blind spots.
This change adds a dedicated walltime regression suite for the CLI cold-start path, making startup latency a CI-gated performance contract instead of a latent post-merge issue. The primary gate centers on `TestPerf_ColdStart_Help` and `TestPerf_ColdStart_Version`, with `make bench` retained as advisory trend output.

Why It MattersOperators and users will be protected from silent CLI startup regressions, because merged changes now fail performance gates when cold starts become materially slower before release. The gate classifies cold-start timing as COLD, applies the stricter formula (`max(base×5, 1ms)` with a CI multiplier of 2.0), and uses an 11-sample trimmed-mean measurement to reduce noise; watch for CI timing instability and verify whether the next latency-dominant paths (like storage-backed lifecycle operations) still bypass this guard.

This change lowers log severity for JSON parse failures in `ChatGoogle._make_api_call` by replacing `logger.error` with `logger.warning` in both structured-output and fallback parse paths, while keeping `ModelProviderError(500)` and retry behavior unchanged, so recoverable parse hiccups no longer generate repeated ERROR spam.

Why It MattersOperators watching browser-use production logs get fewer noisy alerts when a Google response parse is temporarily bad, because retry attempts are no longer reported as repeated errors and will be easier to distinguish from truly hard failures. The technical change is limited to log level in both parse branches, with the same exception and status propagation (`ModelProviderError(500)`) into the same retry loop (up to 5 retries for retryable statuses); teams should continue watching whether repeated warning bursts still obscure real final-failure diagnosis and whether alert thresholds need retuning.

Why It MattersOperators and users downloading artifacts from InsForge through CDN paths will receive updated files more reliably after releases, reducing incidents where deployments use stale binaries or data.

Why It MattersOperators and developers can reduce the manual labor of wiring dashboards, alerts, and log pipelines and may recover faster from incidents because the system proposes fixes directly where telemetry is generated, but deployment value should be watched for cross-service trace depth, reliability of the generated patches, and governance around where telemetry and code-context data are sent.
