[0.5.0-exp.1] - 2026-08-10

  • New GET /api/progress endpoint: the currently executing command's task progress, served off the main thread so it answers even while a long synchronous command has the Editor blocked. Command authors report via the new CliProgress.Report(title, info, current, total, progress) API (thread-safe, callable from a blocked main thread) or the CliEditorProgress.DisplayProgressBar drop-in wrappers around EditorUtility.DisplayProgressBar; running UnityEditor.Progress items are mirrored automatically. Consumed by the unity CLI to render live terminal progress bars during unity command / unity run --command. (CLI-488, coordinated with CLI-335)
  • Detached command jobs (CLI-335): POST /api/exec with "job": true returns a job id immediately and runs the command in the background — poll GET /api/job?id=… for state, live progress, and the retained result, so a client can reattach and collect the outcome after its own HTTP timeout. POST /api/job/cancel cancels a queued job outright and requests cooperative cancellation of a running one (long-running command/eval code can check the new public PipelineCancellation API). Results are retained for 1 hour / last 100 jobs; jobs do not survive domain reloads.
  • The eval timeout cap is raised from 30 seconds to 24 hours (CLI-335) — long evaluations are legitimate now that clients can set custom timeouts or detach and reattach.
  • The HTTP server now processes requests concurrently: an in-flight /api/exec command no longer blocks every other request (/api/status probes and /api/progress polls answer immediately, so a busy Editor no longer looks unreachable during a long command). Command execution itself is still strictly serialized — one /api/exec at a time, queued in arrival order, exactly as before. (CLI-335)
  • Hardening for the above: a command's own timeout (not a fixed 60s) now governs how long /api/exec waits for it, editor_status/test_status queue behind the same exec gate instead of racing an in-flight command, and progress/job state is owned per server instance so a test server can never cross-attribute progress or job cancellation with the live server. Detached jobs are capped at 100 queued/running at once — further submissions get 429 until some finish. (CLI-335)
  • Fix executedAt being returned as the zero-value instead of the actual execution time for eval/eval_file, hot-reload, and run_tests/test_status.
  • New audit / audit_status commands: start a Project Auditor static-analysis scan and poll it, producing a CSV of the reported issues (Category, Severity, Areas, Description, RelativePath, Line, DescriptorId, Recommendation) for a client or coding agent to act on. Project Auditor is reached by reflection, so the package still compiles and runs in Editors without it, and --categories works against both its deployments. An Editor whose Project Auditor has no analysis rules — in a built-in-module Editor these ship in the separate com.unity.project-auditor-rules package — reports unavailable and names the package to install, rather than an empty scan that reads as a clean project.
  • [UUM-148802] Fix get_console_logs/clear_console and console silently losing all console capture after exiting Play Mode (recovering only on the next recompile): re-subscribe to Unity's log callback on every play-mode transition instead of only once at domain load.
  • [UUM-148605] Persist set_autotick's enabled/interval state in SessionState so it survives a domain reload instead of silently turning itself off after every recompile. Add a persist flag (default true) to opt a one-off/expensive setting (e.g. interval_ms=0) out of that persistence.
  • Emit a busy/settling signal while the Editor is still importing/compiling after the server starts (cold project import), instead of letting early commands fail with an opaque null-data envelope. /api/status reports settling (withholding ready) until the Editor is first seen idle, and /api/exec rejects main-thread commands during that window with HTTP 503 and a structured envelope (error: "Server Busy", status: "busy", retryable: true). Background commands (e.g. recompile_status, package_status, console) and editor_status stay servable so callers can observe progress. The gate is scoped to the editor session's initial settle window: warm starts settle immediately, and servers recreated by domain reloads or started during mid-session imports/compiles never re-arm it. (AUTHAPI-35)
  • [UUM-149016] Fix InvalidOperationExceptions logged after running run_tests more than once: a stale TestResultCollector left registered with Unity's TestRunnerApi kept receiving later runs' completion notifications and re-completed its own already-completed result.

[0.4.0-exp.1] - 2026-07-23

  • Persist the pipeline server auth token across editor domain reloads so long-lived clients (MCP/IDE) no longer get 401 after a recompile. (CLI-412)
  • capture_game_view gains a source parameter: camera (default, unchanged) or screen. source=screen captures the composited game view backbuffer so Screen Space - Overlay UI (HUDs, menus) is included — the camera path never sees overlay canvases. Screen capture requires Play Mode; in Edit Mode it returns a clear error. (AUTHAPI-10)
  • capture_game_view/capture_scene_view with save_path now return a path-only result (no base64) so agent tool results stay small; pass include_inline_image=true for the old behavior. Add max_resolution to cap the inline image size. (AUTHAPI-8)
  • Object-reference string handles now accept authoring-root-relative asset paths (e.g. Materials/Floor.mat, not just Assets/Materials/Floor.mat): a relative string with a file extension is treated as an asset path and normalized under the authoring root, and a failed lookup now reports every strategy tried instead of a misleading hierarchy-path-only error. (AUTHAPI-9)

[0.3.1-exp.1] - 2026-07-16
