Word writing copilot — official beta
The Word add-in graduates from a development-only experiment to an official beta, installable directly from the packaged app.
Added
- Install from Settings → Integrations, no development tooling required. Nodus now generates its own local certificate authority (10 years, trusted once per machine through the standard system dialog) and a
localhostcertificate (1 year) that is silently re-issued before expiry — no repeated trust prompts. Machines that already trusted the previous development certificate keep working unchanged. - The task pane speaks your language: it follows the Nodus interface language (Spanish/English). Its status chip now doubles as a retry button when Nodus is unreachable, and the Settings section shows the three setup steps (certificate → enable → install in Word).
What the copilot does, as a reminder: while you write in Word, the side panel shows how the current paragraph relates to your library (typed relations with evidence), lets you search ideas/authors/works, open any idea in Nodus, insert an AI-paraphrased idea with an author-year citation, and jump to the exact item in Zotero.
Changed
- Test suite modernized:
npm testnow uses Node's built-in test runner, discovering and running the 32 test scripts in parallel with unified reporting — seconds instead of a serial chain. Each script remains runnable on its own. - Dependency swap: the development-only certificate CLI was replaced by a pure-JS certificate generator that works from the packaged app.
Notes
- No database migration; the schema stays at v31.
- Beta caveats: the copilot needs Word for desktop (macOS or Windows), an indexed library, and an embeddings provider configured in Nodus. Feedback welcome via issues.
