Release notes for zodex.

This changelog tracks code and product changes in zodex. It intentionally skips docs-site-only updates.

0.3.8 — 2026-08-18

  • Fixed macOS Launch at Login after in-place upgrades by ensuring login-item operations run from the current installed app bundle instead of a stale process whose previous bundle was replaced.
  • Hardened menu-bar app replacement so upgrades reliably find and stop the running helper through its lifetime lock before swapping Zodex.app, then relaunch it from the new bundle.

0.3.7 — 2026-08-18

  • Fixed macOS menu validation so AppKit no longer re-enables lifecycle actions that Zodex status marked disabled.
  • Made the lifecycle row show Zodex is Running, Starting Zodex…, and Stopping Zodex… so Local transitions are visible immediately while the CLI action is in flight.

0.3.6 — 2026-08-18

  • Fixed the operator upgrade state model to compile warning-free under Linux CI while preserving the macOS Local safety states.

0.3.5 — 2026-08-18

  • Added a tiny native macOS menu-bar app for Zodex Local with persistent Start Folder controls, Start/Stop/Liveboard actions, opt-out setup, and user-controlled Launch at Login without auto-starting the Local runtime.
  • Rebuilt zodex upgrade around a single Rust-owned upgrade state machine with fast no-op checks, streamed human/JSON progress, semver-aware targeting, checksum verification, upgrade locking, Local safety, short check caching, and in-place updates for the CLI and menu app.
  • Added menu-bar update controls that consume the CLI upgrade contract directly, including on-demand checks, update progress, and explicit Stop and Update handling when Local is running.

0.3.4 — 2026-08-18

  • Kept large file changes as structured Liveboard diff cards instead of falling back to generic apply_patch completed rows, with fast large-file trimming, time-bounded diffing, and a 500-row preview cap for very large changes.
  • Made kill events resolve their exact parent command through the retained process/invocation link, so Liveboard shows a kill badge with the command being terminated instead of an opaque termination-request message.

0.3.3 — 2026-08-18

  • Added presentation schema v3 and history schema v5 with persisted materialized file-change summaries/full bodies, projection-aware timeline/SSE delivery, and batch diff hydration so expanded diffs stay single-request while collapsed diffs remain lightweight.
  • Improved Liveboard rendering and streaming performance with lower virtualizer overscan, bounded O(1) SSE/output caches, smaller manual-history pages, stale-detail rejection, unmounted closed drawers, and more reliable Follow Live settling.
  • Expanded Liveboard controls with Lucide icons, configurable editor links for changed files, Raw-button visibility, consistent copy controls, clearer runtime/settings presentation, and refined command/diff metadata layout.
  • Reworked Agent drag ordering with a floating overlay and sliding sibling columns while preserving each virtualized timeline DOM node and avoiding unnecessary SSE handovers during UI-only reorders.

0.3.2 — 2026-08-17

  • Made zodex local watch open the read-only browser Liveboard by default while preserving the terminal viewer behind explicit --tui / TUI-only Agent filters.
  • Added a multi-Agent Liveboard with persistent UI-only aliases/order/column sizing, independent virtualized Agent timelines, bounded live command output, canonical structured file diffs, theme-aware local syntax highlighting, and lazy audit drill-down.
  • Extended Local observability with presentation schema v2, live event schema v2, canonical timeline/detail/checkpoint routes, output metadata plus raw/display views, selective live PTY output, and durable reconnect/gap recovery.
  • Kept browser credentials behind a temporary same-origin capability host: Liveboard JavaScript never receives the managed observer Bearer.

0.3.1 - 2026-08-17

  • Made Sprite daemon cleanup match exact process commands, preventing the cleanup shell from terminating itself during upgrades.
  • Recreated Sprite services in dependency-safe order and added bounded health retries for clean startup transitions.
  • Verified the installed Sprite runtime version before restarting services, so requested release drift fails clearly.
  • Exposed Sprite-provided language shims to the agent account while keeping user-specific toolchain provisioning outside the public installer.

0.3.0 — 2026-08-17

  • Added Zodex Local for trusted direct ChatGPT coding on Apple Silicon Macs through a managed OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnel, Keychain-backed credentials, and explicit launchd lifecycle.
  • Added one Mac-wide, multi-Agent Local runtime with provider-correlated Agent identities, explicit absolute workdirs, runtime-wide TTL enforcement, and comprehensive child-process cleanup.
  • Added durable Local invocation history, normalized file and command evidence, a read-only loopback observability API with SSE, and the zodex local watch TUI.
  • Hardened command session reaping, output finalization, Local shutdown, tunnel readiness, and stalled launchd startup recovery.
  • Added native Apple Silicon Local CI coverage, release-package safety checks, and faster Sprite agent source builds through persistent Cargo caches.

0.2.27 — 2026-08-16

  • Allowed authenticated public Sprite MCP requests to pass RMCP 3’s loopback-oriented host validation, restoring direct and proxy-backed connector access while retaining strict host validation for Local loopback servers.

0.2.26 — 2026-08-16

  • Upgraded the shared MCP server from RMCP 1.2 to RMCP 3.1.2, adding modern stateless MCP 2026-07-28 support while retaining legacy Sprite client compatibility.
  • Required absolute existing workdirs for command and patch calls, preventing implicit or relative execution routing.
  • Added automatic access to ChatGPT’s opaque openai/session request metadata without adding bookkeeping fields to model-visible tool arguments.

0.2.25 — 2026-08-15

  • Reaped yielded command sessions even when clients never poll again, preventing zombie child processes while preserving final session output and status.
