Product

• fim-ai/fim-one — open-source agent platform for Global × China enterprises (self-hosted, any LLM). Day-job / company product I build and ship.

Upstream (external)

• openai/openai-agents-python — two bugs in how a paused run is restored from serialized state:
  • #5142 (merged, ad93f54): a nested agent-as-tool run serializes its agent references relative to the tool's own agent, but resumption resolved them against the parent, so with two same-named agents a pending approval silently never applied. Root cause, 7-line fix, 218 lines of regression tests.
  • #3749: a pending nested approval could bind to the wrong tool call once an earlier entry was filtered out. The maintainer re-landed it at source level as #3753 with Co-authored-by: Tao An.
• eigenpal/docx-editor — CJK typography in the OOXML layout engine, ~2k lines merged: resolved the eastAsia font slot so CJK runs measure and paint in their own face (#539), and added kinsoku line breaking between ideographs (#540).
• acmesh-official/acme.sh — #7278 (merged, 6467ca9): _setopt() and _clear_conf() redirected new content straight into the conf file, so a write that failed on a full disk truncated it to 0 bytes while _save_conf still returned 0, and the certificate could no longer renew (#7247). Every conf write now goes through a temp copy in the same directory that is verified and then renamed over the original; symlinked or bind-mounted confs keep the in-place write. Checked under dash, bash, zsh and busybox ash, and on an ext4 loop mount filled to 0 free blocks.
• docling-project/docling — #4336 (merged, 2682193): the DOCX backend treated any list level with an East Asian w:numFmt as a bullet list, so 第%1条-style regulation numbering was dropped on conversion (#4335). Added nine formats (chineseCounting, chineseLegalSimplified, japaneseCounting, decimalEnclosedCircle and others) following ECMA-376 §17.18.59, with the cases the standard leaves open settled against Microsoft Word's own output: the converters match 525 Word-rendered markers except one documented glyph choice, backed by 176 parametrized boundary tests and an end-to-end DOCX test.
• docling-project/docling-core — the follow-up the docling reviewers asked for: #799 (merged, 25ade75): the Markdown serializer's AUTO marker mode kept an original list marker only if it matched [a-zA-Z0-9], so the CJK markers docling now emits (第九条, （一）, ①) were replaced by - (#798). The check now accepts any Unicode letter or digit, while bullet glyphs are still dropped; full suite 768 passed with ground-truth files unchanged.
