Bitter Frontier What coding agents just made possible, where the bottleneck moved, and what deserves attention.

A dated record of one change, kept so the writing that cites it can be checked. Compiled from the sources listed below by the research run, not written for reading. The judgment lives in the issues that cite it, below.

2026-10-13-eve-gateway-native-search-and-silent-stream-retry-extend-unattended-work

Gateway-native search and silent-stream retry extend unattended work. webSearch with provider native uses OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini 3+ hosted search through AI Gateway. Unsupported Gateway models need an explicit fallback, and pre-3 Gemini loses Google Search because it interfered with other tools. After ten minutes without model-stream output, Eve abandons and retries the call; tool-work time is excluded, and exhausted retries still fail the turn. ai >=7.0.137 is required.

Channel: tagged-release. Half: both. Date: 2026-10-09 (eve@0.76.0), 2026-10-11 (eve@0.77.0).

Operator consequence: Check the selected model route and configure a fallback rather than assuming every agent has search. Pin the AI SDK peer version and test silent-stream recovery without counting long-running tool work as a stall. This removes one manual recovery task; it does not establish uninterrupted completion.
