changelog

4.3.16 2026-11-03

Extension and twinny-server release: twinny-server starts without --config, its admin page and start-up screen are redone, and three fixes to the embeddings index were contributed by @DivyamTalwar.

  • twinny-server on its own starts the gateway. Without --config it uses the first configuration it finds: $TWINNY_CONFIG, then ./twinny.gateway.json, then the one it served last (remembered in ~/.twinny/twinny-server.json), then ~/twinny.gateway.json. If it finds none and is run in a terminal, it runs setup and then serves. A configuration with no admin key runs setup to make one. Run outside a terminal, it lists the places it looked and exits with code 2, without writing anything. --port, --host and --demo work without serve, and serve and the admin commands (keys, usage, license and the rest) use the same lookup. quickstart and reset still use the current directory. If the configuration it found is broken, the error names the file and says why it was chosen (#562).
  • A clearer start-up screen. In a colour terminal the banner shows the admin URL, models and access first, then limits and paths, and how long each backend took to answer. Request lines in the log are shorter. Output to a file or pipe is unchanged except for a new config: line naming the file in use.
  • A new look for the admin page. Black surfaces, rounded cards, pill badges and sentence-case labels, in Geist at 14px with IBM Plex Mono for code. Both fonts are embedded in the page. twinny green marks live status, links, focus and the selected item. Plugin logos keep their brand colours.
  • Fixed: one workspace's index showing up in another. Folders with the same name, or names that sanitize to the same string, shared one embeddings database. Each index is now keyed by the workspace's full URI and its set of root folders, and kept in VS Code's storage for that workspace. Old indexes are left on disk but not reused, so each workspace is indexed once more after updating. Results from a folder that is no longer in the workspace are dropped before reranking (#555).
  • Fixed: emptied files stayed searchable. Saving an indexed file with nothing in it now removes its chunks from the index, as a full indexing run already did (#554).
  • Fixed: index saves failing with ENOENT. Index manifest saves made at the same moment shared one temporary file. They now queue, each with a temporary file of its own (#556).
