Eve activity tracking lands, AI SDK fixes session resumption

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Vercel

Eve shipped its new activity protocol and independent collectors, while the AI SDK fixed Deep Agents sessions losing context after stop/resume and Turborepo cut package listing time by skipping lockfile parsing.

Eve landed the first two parts of a five-part activity tracking effort: a new internal activity event protocol and reducer [1] that normalizes work, action, and blocker lifecycles into one snapshot, followed by an independent activity collector per root session [2] that renders debounced snapshots without waking or blocking the agent session. Separately, `eve dev` now shows rebuild status in the TUI with a monochrome indicator for slow and successful builds [3]. The AI SDK fixed Deep Agents sessions losing conversation context after stop/resume [4]: the bridge now atomically saves MemorySaver checkpoints instead of only keeping them process-local. Claude Code resume now tracks and resumes the exact conversation [5], and OpenAI-compatible backends returning array-based chat content are now accepted [6]. @vercel/sdk 1.28.25 is a breaking release [7] that changes `updateProject()` sandbox, `listUserEvents()` payload, and `stopSession()` failoverRegions types. Turborepo upgraded to pnpm 12, cutting lockfile install times by up to 90.5% in benchmarks [8], and sped up plain `turbo ls` by skipping lockfile parsing [9].
