Version 18.0.4, posted August 24, also adds omp git, a fullscreen terminal interface for staging changes line by line.
Why now: oh-my-pi posted the fix in its August 24 release notes.
oh-my-pi's 18.0.4 release splits HTTP 413 errors into two separate causes it used to treat as one. That matters for anyone sending large images or file attachments through the agent, where a payload-size limit has nothing to do with how many tokens are in the conversation.
The tool read a provider's 413 as token-context overflow, so it ran a compaction pass on the conversation. The real cause was a payload too large in bytes, not a request too long in tokens, per oh-my-pi's release notes. A compaction pass discards context the agent might still need, and it doesn't shrink a payload that's oversized in bytes.
The same release adds omp git, a fullscreen terminal interface for the repo with line-level staging, letting a user commit individual lines instead of whole files or hunks.
The release notes don't say how often the misdiagnosis happened, or across how many providers it showed up.
