Removed specific tool files from Dockerfile and added a directory copy instead.
- Change default model from gpt-5 to gpt-5.4 across docs, tests, and examples - Remove Strix Router references from docs, quickstart, overview, and README - Delete models.mdx (Strix Router page) and its nav entry - Simplify install script to suggest openai/ prefix directly - Keep strix/ model routing support intact in code Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Rewrite system prompt: refusal avoidance, system-verified scope, thorough validation mandate, root agent orchestration role, recon-first guidance - Add authorized targets injection via system_prompt_context in strix_agent - Add set_system_prompt_context to LLM for dynamic prompt updates - Prefer python tool over terminal for Python code in tool schemas - Increase LLM retry backoff cap to 90s - Replace models.strix.ai footer with strix.ai Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…odes
Models occasionally output text-only narration ("Planning the
assessment...") without a tool call, which halts the interactive agent
loop since the system interprets no-tool-call as "waiting for user
input." Rewrite both interactive and autonomous prompt sections to make
the tool-call requirement absolute with explicit warnings about the
system halt consequence.
- Replace free-form task description with structured XML format (<scan_task><targets><mode>) in StrixAgent for clearer LLM parsing - Replace verbose <inter_agent_message> with compact <agent_message> format to reduce token overhead in inter-agent communication - Add corrective message when agents respond with plain text instead of tool calls, enforcing tool-call-only behavior - Simplify thinking_blocks type annotation in AgentState - Add <agent_message> pattern to clean_content() for hidden XML cleanup
- Add html.escape() to target values in <scan_task> (URLs, paths, IPs) - Escape sender_name/sender_id in <agent_message> attributes - CDATA-wrap message content in <agent_message> to handle any text - Make corrective message generic (no StrixAgent-specific tool names)
