This page summarises the user-visible features added in AITM 2.6 and the updates that followed it.

What's New

Pipeline heals itself instead of stopping

The biggest change is philosophy: a task should only end as failed when the configuration is wrong or the AI is missing data. Every other problem is now retried or repaired automatically.

• Merge conflicts self-heal. A task that hits a conflict while merging into dev is retried with rebase and merge strategies, then handed to a fix agent.
• Post-merge tests fix forward. If tests fail after a merge, AITM isolates the cause and fixes it on the task branch rather than reverting the merge immediately.
• Type-check auto-fix. A failing type-check goes to a fix agent for up to three rounds before the task fails.
• Infrastructure errors are classified separately from real test failures: a crashed worktree is rebuilt, and dependents are no longer cascade-skipped.
• Watchdog covers every task type, including agent-mode tasks.
• Stale merge locks and stranded merges are reclaimed automatically on the next scheduler tick and after a restart.
• Post-merge test fixes stay within the task's scope. When tests are fixed after a merge, the fix cannot touch files outside the task's scope — the same scope-gate used elsewhere in the pipeline.

Bug tasks must prove the bug

• Reproduction gate. When a task is a bug fix, the architect step must write a Reproduction section that demonstrates the symptom before the fix and its absence after.
• Diagnostic pack. Bug tasks that AITM files automatically carry the crash lines, a blame summary, affected files and the linked known-error id.
• Business-scope gate. Work outside the task's scope is blocked with an AI judge verdict.

Full test suite is opt-in

Running the whole test suite after every merge was the main cause of memory pressure. It is now off by default (Pipeline → Full test enabled) and, when enabled, runs only when the merge queue is empty.

Deliberate restart after a self-merge

When AITM merges a change to its own code, it no longer restarts under you. The default (Git & Storage → Server restart after self-merge = manual) waits for the queue to drain and shows a Restart button in the header menu.

Settings you could not reach before

• Day / night CPU profiles (System tab): reserve more threads for the dashboard during the day and let tests use the machine at night.
• Disk Janitor and Disk Watchdog (Watchdog & Resources): retention rules and absolute GB budgets per location.
• Swap management (System): recommended swap size computed from RAM and free disk.
• Dedicated Project Check tab, and a Test connection button for the translation model.
• A new project gets a default set of skills right at creation (documentation, UI patterns), instead of waiting for its first task.

Dashboard and panels

• Dockable panels (Chat, Brainstorm, Contract Explorer, task consoles) snap into real layout slots.
• Monitor bar gained a Queued tab, a CPU sparkline, and an Estimation tab with queue ETA.
• English is the default UI language.
• Task cards: dependency numbers are clickable, and the recovery-agent button asks for confirmation.

Licensing

A false-positive licence block can be unlocked from the UI. Project slots used / max are shown in Settings → License. When creating or importing a project in the Wizard, if the licence has a free slot, the wizard offers to assign it right away.

Resources

/tmp sweeper recognises leaked Chrome and Playwright directories and cleans them after two hours by default.
