Changes:

  • Changes the developer_agent to use the improved instruction files from Instructions for developer agents #8615
  • Adds a generic develop_file sub-agent and removed the previous develop_model and develop_metrics_view sub-agents
  • Injects context about the default OLAP connector (its name, driver, and read/readwrite mode)
  • Exposes the introspection tools over MCP so Cursor/Claude can use them (tools: project_status, query_sql, list_tables, show_table, list_buckets, list_bucket_objects – see this PR: New tools for the developer agent #8600)
  • Updates default OpenAI model to GPT 5.2
  • Added four new evals (try these in Rill Developer!):
    • Clickhouse has a public playground database on play.clickhouse.com:9440 (username 'play' and no password). Can you set it up as the OLAP connector and develop a dashboard based on one of its tables?
    • I have some CSV files in S3. Can you create a connector for S3 and a DuckDB model that loads the data at s3://integration-test.rilldata.com/glob_test/y=*/*.csv? I've already added environment variables for S3 access.
    • I have some data in S3. Can you tell me what buckets are available? And also show me a little preview of what files are available at s3://integration-test.rilldata.com/glob_test/?
    • This metrics view has an error. Can you fix it?
