Research direction

Start by inspecting commit 564d013 on main and the versioned package around shell_sage/core.py, then verify how the project publishes to PyPI. Done means a 1.0.9 package is available from PyPI and uv tool install shell-sage or pip install shell-sage produces a streamed answer with python-fastllm 0.0.40.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Bug

Installing shell-sage from PyPI (1.0.8) and running ssage produces no output — just a Connecting... spinner, then exit code 0.

To reproduce

uv tool install shell-sage   # resolves to 1.0.8
ssage "Say hello"

Expected: a streamed answer. Actual: ⠋ Connecting... with nothing after it.

Error messages

None — the process exits with code 0 and empty stderr. The failure is silent, which makes it easy to miss.

Root cause

In 1.0.8, get_res in shell_sage/core.py only accumulates chunks that are dicts:

if isinstance(chunk, dict) and 'text' in chunk: _res += chunk['text']

Current python-fastllm (0.0.40) streams Text/Thinking objects instead of plain dicts, so no chunk is ever accumulated, nothing renders, and the process exits 0.

This is already fixed on main (commit 564d013, "fixes #96", using fastllm's StreamAccum) — but no release has been cut since. PyPI still serves 1.0.8 (released 2026-07-20), so everyone installing today gets the broken version. This affects both uv tool install and pip install shell-sage.

I searched the open issues before filing this — none report this bug. #96 (closed) only tracked the code fix itself, which is done; this issue is about that fix never being released.

Workaround

uv tool install --force --from git+https://github.com/AnswerDotAI/shell_sage shell-sage

Request

Please cut a 1.0.9 release so the StreamAccum fix ships to PyPI.
