Hermex Android v0.9.2 UI Preview

UI preview release with the merged visual refresh/sidebar-era polish. Build/tests pass and device smoke test completed across sessions, chat, settings, tasks, skills, memory, profiles, insights, projects, and workspace.

v0.9.1-preview

v0.9.1-preview

Focused release: offline cache/data management hardening. No UI, workspace, or composer changes.

Offline cache pruning infrastructure

• Added OfflineCacheRepository.pruneServerCache(serverId, maxSessions, maxAgeDays, sessionIdToPreserve), scoped entirely to one server.
• The retention decision is a pure, stateless function (sessionIdsToPrune) rather than embedded SQL logic, so the policy itself is thoroughly unit-tested independent of Room.
• No schema migration was needed — cachedAtEpochMillis already existed on the cached session/message entities from an earlier version.

Conservative retention policy

• Keeps the 50 most recently active cached sessions per server.
• Drops anything older than 90 days.
• Always preserves an explicitly provided active/current session, when one is known.
• Messages for retained sessions are kept in full.
• Cached messages for pruned or otherwise-missing sessions are swept as orphan cleanup.

Startup-only execution

• Pruning runs once per app process start, scoped to configured servers only.
• Not tied to session-list refresh, chat send, or any other per-action path.
• No session is known to be "active" this early in the app's lifecycle, so nothing is preserved by default at startup.

Explicitly unchanged / out of scope

• Logout behavior is unchanged: cookies may clear, but the offline cache is never cleared on logout.
• No user-facing cache management UI was added.
• No changes to custom header encryption (still plaintext DataStore; remains documented future work).
• Workspace and other control-plane screens (Tasks, Skills, Memory, Profiles, Projects, Insights) remain in-memory only — this release does not add offline support for them.

Docs

• README's "Current Features" now describes the retention policy; the previous "cache grows unbounded" note was removed since it's no longer accurate. Workspace/control-plane screens are still not claimed as offline-capable.

Debug preview build, not for production distribution.

v0.9.0-preview

v0.9.0-preview

Focused polish pass: chat attachment upload verification + design-system token alignment.

Attachment upload wiring

• Verified as already fully implemented on master before this release — picker → AttachmentFileReader → upload API → ChatStartRequest.attachments was already wired end-to-end and covered by ~30 existing ChatViewModelTest cases. Confirmed again live on a real device (text-only send, attach/remove/send, and a server round-trip that read the uploaded file's exact contents back).
• Fixed stale doc comments in ChatUiState/ChatViewModel that still described the feature as "dormant"/unwired from an earlier phase.

Design-system token alignment

• Colors and shape tokens (HermexColors, HermexRadii) were already fully aligned with the design system — no changes needed there.
• Typography was the real missing token layer: HermexTheme now wires a custom Typography matching the design system's type scale, instead of Material3's stock defaults.
• Assistant chat messages now render as plain full-width prose with no bubble chrome, matching the design spec ("never bubble the assistant") — previously both user and assistant messages got a background pill.
• User message bubble radius now uses the existing (previously unreferenced) HermexRadii.Bubble token instead of a hardcoded value.
• Composer's text field now uses HermexRadii.Composer for its corner radius.
• The design system's full composer redesign (pill chip row, capsule icon buttons, translucent field architecture) was intentionally deferred — out of scope for this polish pass.

Debug preview build, not for production distribution.

Hermex Android v0.8.0-preview

Hermex Android v0.8.0-preview

Highlights:

• Added pull-to-refresh across Tasks, Skills, Memory, Profiles, and Projects.
• Added missing Tasks refresh action.
• Improved markdown rendering in skill, memory, task prompt, and task output detail views.
• Improved Projects error, empty, retry, and delete-confirmation states.
• Fixed long chat streaming scroll behavior so active assistant replies follow to the true bottom while preserving manual upward scroll.
• Added clearer generating/finalizing status during long streamed replies.

Verification:

• ./gradlew test — BUILD SUCCESSFUL
• ./gradlew assembleDebug — BUILD SUCCESSFUL
• Real-device chat streaming test passed.

Hermex Android v0.7.1 Preview

Hermex Android v0.7.1 Preview is a hotfix release for v0.7.0-preview.

• Cleans duplicate move tests and adds protected-name / git-branch coverage

Notes:

• Debug preview APK, manual install only
• APK is not Play Store signed
• Backend note: nested repo Git status requires path-aware Hermes WebUI backend support
• Release-hardening note: if minified release builds are enabled later, add error_prone_annotations for AndroidX Security/Tink and smoke-test encrypted cookie storage

Hermex Android — Public Preview (v0.2.0)

Preview build of the native Android Hermex client (Kotlin + Jetpack Compose). Not a final
Play Store release — this is a debug build for manual install, meant to demonstrate the
app running against a real self-hosted hermes-webui server.

Android will warn this APK is from an unknown source; that's expected for a manual-install
debug build.

What's in this preview

• Real server auth, session list (with search), and chat with SSE token streaming
• Tasks, Skills, Memory, Profiles, Projects, and Insights screens
• Chat-scoped model switching
• Multi-server switching, with per-server cookies and custom HTTP headers
• Runtime app icon switching (Light/Dark/Disco/System) using the real iOS icon assets
• Header logo color theming
• Room-based offline cache for the session list and for chat/message history, both
  isolated per server

Not finished yet

• Workspace and git panels
• More iOS parity polish
• Play Store release hardening (release signing isn't set up yet — this is a debug build)

See the README for full details.
