What

Command history lines are now validated against a schema, and a single bad pasted-content record is dropped instead of throwing away the whole history entry.

Details
  • Validated fields: display text, pasted contents, timestamp, project, and an optional session ID.
  • Dropping a bad paste logs "Dropping a malformed paste record from a history line".
  • Load reporting now separates history_load_parse_failed, history_load_shape_rejected and history_load_paste_record_dropped, each with its own boolean field, alongside the existing history_load_read_interrupted.
Evidence

history_load_shape_rejected

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
