…r Anthropic 5MB limit (lobehub#14711)

* 🐛 fix(utils): cap image binary at 3.75MB so base64 payload stays under Anthropic's 5MB limit

Anthropic enforces the 5MB image cap on the base64-encoded payload, not the
binary file. Base64 inflates by ~4/3, so a 4.7MB binary file becomes 6.27MB
once encoded and trips `messages.*.content.*.image.source.base64: image
exceeds 5 MB maximum`. The previous MAX_IMAGE_BYTES of 5MB matched against
file.size, letting these images through compression untouched.

Lower the threshold to floor(5MB * 3/4) ≈ 3.75MB in both the frontend
canvas compressor and the server-side Sharp fallback so the progressive
shrink loop keeps going until the base64 payload is safely under the cap.

* 🐛 fix(utils): tighten image binary cap to 3MB for extra base64 headroom

Drop MAX_IMAGE_BYTES from 3.75MB (exact 5MB-base64 boundary) to a flat 3MB
so the encoded payload lands around 4MB — clear of any per-provider rounding
or jitter at the 5MB hard limit.

# 🚀 LobeHub Release (20260518)

**Release Date:** May 18, 2026  
**Since v2.1.58:** 208 merged PRs · 209 commits · 16 contributors

> v2.2.0 introduces the **Chief Agent Operator** — an agent that runs
itself end-to-end. It self-iterates against its own output, assembles
sub-agent teams on demand through the heterogeneous runtime, and drives
a unified task system that knows when to pause for a human. Self-review,
AssistantGroup, and tasks/scheduling all converge into one operator
surface.

---

## ✨ Highlights

### 🎩 Chief Agent Operator

- **Self-iteration exits Lab** — Agent Signal's self-review pipeline
ships proposal actions straight into briefs and auto-executes the
approved follow-ups, with prompts hardened against eval. The operator
now critiques and re-runs its own work without a human in the loop.
(#14769, #14583, #14647, #14882)
- **Auto-formed agent teams** — Heterogeneous AssistantGroup gains
Monitor-style signal callbacks, read-only SubAgent threads with
breadcrumb headers, and a thread switcher. The operator dispatches
sub-agents and you can step into any branch to see what the team is
doing. (#14859, #14658, #14845, #14715)
- **Task system as the operator's runway** — Claude Code surfaces task
tools, AskUserQuestion freeform notes, and a dedicated `waitingForHuman`
topic status; `lobe-task` exposes `setTaskSchedule`; the scheduler is
hardened (maxExecutions cap, sub-10min heartbeat block, race-free
SchedulerForm). Long-running operator runs no longer go silent and stop
themselves when human input is needed. (#14870, #14639, #14713, #14865,
#14853)

### 🚀 Cloud & runtime

- **Cloud Claude Code V3** — Repo picker, GitHub token flow, and
sandbox-aware context bring cloud-hosted Claude Code to feature parity
with local; cloud sandbox completion now triggers the task lifecycle
end-to-end. (#14568, #14822, #14681)
- **Heterogeneous agent multi-replica safety** — Subagent threads,
ingest refresh, and parallel-tool counts now survive replica swaps
without losing parent_id or rolling back tool state. (#14897, #14631,
#14806, #14838)
- **Built-in tool lifecycle hooks** — `onBeforeCall` / `onAfterCall`
land on the built-in tool runtime; sub-agent dispatch moves to
`lobe-agent`; self-iteration aligns with the shared inspector pattern.
(#14719, #14715, #14827)
- **Knowledge base RAG unified** — Client and server share one
`KnowledgeBaseSearchService`; KB files preserved on `NoSuchKey` instead
of silently lost. (#14673, #14501)

### 💬 Workspace experience

- **Home daily brief + recommendations** — The home screen opens with a
linkable welcome, paired input hint, and a recommendations module
sourced from the operator's hetero action library. (#14589, #14645,
#14770)
- **Chat mode + redesigned action bar** — The chat input gains a
Chat/Agent mode toggle and a re-pitched action bar with icon-and-color
action tag chips. (#14774, #14903, #14846)
- **Documents tree, optimistic** — Document tree creates, deletes, and
inline renames now apply optimistically; the agent-documents index hides
web crawls and switches to a table layout. (#14714, #14292)
- **Branded MCP inspectors** — Linear MCP tool calls render with the
same branded inspector as the built-in Linear skill; CC MCP and built-in
skills now share inspector code. (#14864, #14884)
- **Bot identity gating** — Device tools are gated by sender identity,
the activator bypass is closed, and Slack mpim plus Discord DM
regressions are fixed. (#14634, #14664, #14733)

---

## 🏗️ Core Agent & Signal Pipeline

### Self-iteration & Agent Signal

- Self-iteration graduates out of Lab, with service, tool, name, and
concept structure unified across `agent-signal`, `prompts`, `database`,
and `builtin-tool-self-iteration`. (#14699, #14769)
- Self-review now proposes actions to briefs and auto-executes the
approved set, with eval-verified prompt hardening. (#14583, #14657,
#14647)
- Self-iteration built-in tool aligns with the shared runtime +
inspector patterns. (#14827)
- Agent Signal prompts adapt their response language and avoid blocking
agent execution. (#14890, #14775, #14882)
- Receipt descriptions now carry an Agent Signal marker, and self-review
hinted skill documents route correctly. (#14764, #14895)

### Heterogeneous agent runtime

- Subagent threads render read-only with a breadcrumb header and thread
switcher; SUBAGENT badge dropped, indentation tightened. (#14658,
#14845, #14783)
- Multi-replica safety: ingest refresh restores tools/model from DB to
fix parent_id breaks; new-step assistants sync across replicas;
subagent-tagged events no longer leak into the main gateway handler.
(#14897, #14631, #14838)
- Fetch-triggering events are deferred to keep parallel tool counts from
rolling back. (#14806)
- AskUserQuestion is wired for Claude Code, with auto-decline disabled
and a freeform note input on the cloud side; `waitingForHuman` is a
first-class topic status. (#14639, #14629, #14870)
- AssistantGroup gains Monitor-style signal callbacks; project skills
surface in the working sidebar and markdown preview. (#14859, #14896)
- Cloud Claude Code V3 — repo picker, GitHub token, sandbox context;
credentials alert and disabled input when not configured. (#14568,
#14822)
- Cloud sandbox completion now triggers the task lifecycle end-to-end.
(#14681)

### Agent runtime & context engine

- Built-in tool runtime gets `onBeforeCall` / `onAfterCall` lifecycle
hooks. (#14719)
- `CompletionLifecycle`, `HumanInterventionHandler`, and
`stepPresentation` are extracted from the runtime monolith. (#14441)
- Per-tool timeout is honored end-to-end for client tool dispatch.
(#14817)
- Compression budget accounts for `tool_calls`, reasoning content, and
tool defs; `call_llm` forwards tools into the budget. (#14813, #14837)
- Pre-flight context check now fails fast for OpenAI-compatible
providers. (#14824)
- Malformed `tool_call` names are recovered instead of finishing the
step silently. (#14577)
- Sub-agent dispatch moves from `lobe-gtd` to `lobe-agent`. (#14715)
- Hidden built-in tools now appear in the system prompt @-mention list.
(#14823)

### Agent tracing & operations

- New `agent_operations` table and runtime persistence for every
hetero-agent operation. (#14416, #14736)
- `signOperationJwt` issues 4-hour signed operation tokens. (#14586)
- S3 trace snapshots are zstd-compressed; DB `trace_s3_key` aligns with
the `.json.zst` suffix; legacy `.json` fallback preserved on fetch.
(#14807, #14860, #14826)

---

## 📱 Platform & Integrations

### Bot / Channels

- Device tools are gated by sender identity. (#14634)
- Activator bypass closed and device-access checks converged. (#14664)
- Slack mpim supported; Discord DM regression fixed; Slack connect +
slash commands repaired. (#14733, #14591)
- Bot channels, bot watch, bot callback service, and system bot
reliability fixes. (#14847, #14796, #14570, #14784, #14649)
- Online Messager scaffolding. (#14755)

### Onboarding

- Home daily brief with linkable welcome and paired input hint. (#14589)
- Recommendations module sourced from the hetero agent action library.
(#14645)
- Chat onboarding passes request triggers via metadata and preserves the
resume request. (#14770, #14798)
- Discovery turn progress gated by phase, with a reminder on stalled
discovery. (#14842, #14833)
- FullNameStep back button rejoins the shared prefix; ModeSwitch hidden
in production. (#14898, #14760)
- Agent marketplace folds into the web onboarding tool. (#14578, #14672)
- Onboarding interests stored as keys instead of free text; early-exit
skips marketplace and drops CJK prompts. (#14624, #14598)

### Model providers

- Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite cards; Gemini schema sanitizer drops
non-compliant `enum` / `required`; zero `cachedContentTokenCount`
handled in usage conversion. (#14604, #14740, #14567)

empty-apiKey test dropped. (#14511, #14669)
- Stream parse errors are enriched with provider + model context.
(#14636)
- Visual content parts are consumed in the server runtime; video image
references move to a JSON object. (#14637, #14900)
- Google function call magic `thoughtSignature` now attaches to every
part, not just the last turn. (#14904)
- Service model assignments settings added; model extend-param options
removed. (#14712, #14607)

### Built-in tools & knowledge base

- `lobe-task` exposes `setTaskSchedule`; task scheduler hardened
(maxExecutions cap, sub-10min heartbeat blocked, SchedulerForm race fix,
rapid automation-mode toggle stabilized). (#14713, #14865, #14853,
#14801)
- KnowledgeBaseSearchService shares RAG runtime across client and
server. (#14673)
- KB files preserved on `NoSuchKey` and orphan documents/tasks cleaned.
(#14501)
- Document tree gets optimistic create/delete + inline rename. (#14714)
- agent-documents index hides web crawls and switches to a table layout.
(#14292)
- `lobe-clarify` and SKILL.md frontmatter parsing/edit validation are
unified. (#14566)
- AnalyzeVisualMedia inspector + Portal HTML preview refactor; HTML
preview restored for AssistantGroup messages. (#14777, #14811)
- Branded inspector shared between CC MCP and built-in Linear skill.
(#14884, #14864)
