Lisan Studio 0.1.1 Beta

Lisan Studio 0.1.1 Beta Notes

Fixed (data-safety regressions in 0.1.0-beta)

• Project-wide replace now preserves leading whitespace and per-file line endings. (was: stripped indentation, mixed CRLF/LF on apply)
• Editor save preserves the loaded file's line-ending style. (was: silently converted CRLF to LF)
• MSI install registers as a single entry in HKLM\WOW6432Node\Uninstall instead of a dual HKCU+HKLM registration. (was: two entries per install, polluted Programs and Features)
• Build identifier (git short SHA or ISO UTC timestamp) is captured at HKCU\Software\LisanStudio\BuildId for support diagnostics.

Added

• Document model: every open file is tracked by a real DocumentRegistry with version-checked text edits, external file change polling, and a Reload/Keep/Compare prompt when files change externally.
• Workspace trust: grant + revoke commands with an audit trail at .lisan-workspace/trust-audit.jsonl, surfaced in the diagnostics bundle.
• Editor torture coverage for V1.5 gate decisions: 100k-line files, undo/redo storms, find/replace storms, IME composition cycles, soft-wrap on mixed RTL/LTR.
• Search/replace cap notice: "تم اقتطاع نتائج البحث عند 500 ملف" appears in status bar when the 500-file scan cap fires.
• Command-registry sweep: every visible command is now generatively asserted to have id/label/category/trigger/uniqueness/shortcut/no-BiDi-controls.

Changed

• MSI test pipeline migrated to GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/msi-tests.yml). Per-step logs replace the prior custom Hyper-V harness's sparse checkpoint files.
• Editor enforces CRLF on save for new untitled buffers (Windows-default); Mixed-line-ending files are normalized to their dominant style on first save.
• MainWindow extracted into RuntimeOrchestrator, EditorTabsController, ProjectTreeController, BottomPanelController, CommandPaletteController, WorkbenchTheme. Internal refactor - no user-facing behavior change beyond the per-feature fixes above.

Removed

• Legacy Hyper-V harness entry points (qa/vm/*, the wrapper test scripts). MSI test orchestration now lives in the GHA workflow exclusively.
• AllowSameVersionUpgrades on the WiX MajorUpgrade. Each beta now bumps a patch version; same-version replacement is no longer the upgrade cadence.

Known limitations (deferred to V1.5+ / V2)

• No multi-cursor or column selection. (gated on QPlainTextEdit cost-model evidence)
• Terminal panel boundary exists but real shell execution is not yet wired. (gated on stronger trust model)
• No language-server protocol features (completion, diagnostics from unsaved buffers, go-to-definition). (V2 scope)
• No debugger. (V2 scope)
• No Git source-control UI. (V3 scope)
• Search and project-replace scan up to the first 500 files; larger projects truncate with a status-bar notice.

Upgrade from 0.1.0-beta

• Install LisanStudio-0.1.1-beta.msi normally. Windows Installer's MajorUpgrade removes the prior install and installs the new one in a single transaction.
• User settings under HKCU\Software\LisanStudio survive the upgrade.
• The verified upgrade path is the one tested in GHA run 26331615773.

Lisan Studio 0.1.0 Beta Notes

Included

• Native Qt 6 desktop shell.
• Lisan Studio app branding and bundled logo resource.
• Premium dark visual system based on the accepted Claude design.
• Custom RTL Claude-design single top shell with integrated menus, primary run action, and unified command/search field.
• Integrated dropdown menus for file, edit, view, tools, and help.
• Primary run and command/search are single top-bar entry points to avoid duplicate run/search surfaces.
• No inherited QMenuBar or QToolBar shell surface.
• RTL editor tabs, project sidebar, bottom panel tabs, and status bar.
• Arabic-first editor surface based on QPlainTextEdit.
• Minimal .apy syntax highlighting.
• Hidden Unicode BiDi control detection.
• Project folder tree.
• Editor tabs for multiple open documents.
• Bottom panel tabs for terminal, output, problems, search results, and debug.
• Project text search with clickable file/line result rows.
• Problems panel entries for hidden BiDi controls and runtime failures.
• Run current .apy through bundled runtime with live output, exit code, elapsed time, and cancel action.
• RTL settings dialog with editor font controls, runtime diagnostics, and recent projects.
• Runtime diagnostics for bundled Python, lughat-althuban, run, lint, and format availability.
• Lisan Studio application metadata, executable name, install folder, and shortcut targets.
• Packaged Qt, Python, and lughat-althuban license payloads.
• WiX MSI packaging path for LisanStudio-0.1.0-beta.msi.
• MSI install/uninstall smoke script for private beta validation.
• Release evidence script for checksums, validation log, known issues, and screenshot capture.
• Manual beta checklist script for recording the installed-app handoff pass as a professionally formatted Word review packet, with Markdown and JSON traceability files.

Validation Status

• Automated Homelab MSI/GUI/release evidence lane passed inside LisanStudio-QA.
• Manual installed-app QA is complete.
• Private beta handoff decision: ready; previously recorded non-blocking polish
  notes are resolved in the current codebase.

Resolved reviewer notes:

• Normal app launch is configured as a Windows GUI executable so it does not
  open a command window.
• Right-click Undo/Redo menu actions are Lisan-owned actions and trigger the
  same editor commands as keyboard shortcuts.
• Search result file text and line metadata are kept in a guarded RTL metadata
  cluster.
• Problems panel diagnostic subtext is right-anchored under the metadata row.

Deferred

• Git UI.
• AI panel.
• Public distribution.
• Auto-update.
• Plugin system.

Release Blockers

• Cursor or selection corruption in mixed Arabic/English code.
• Arabic output mojibake.
• Save/open data loss.
• Installer requiring manual PATH or Python setup.
• MSI install/uninstall smoke failure.
• Missing Qt, Python, or lughat-althuban license payloads.
• Hidden BiDi controls inserted by the editor.
• Any return of a native QMenuBar or QToolBar shell surface.
• Left-to-right shell regression in top command bar menus, project/sidebar, tabs, status bar, or bottom panel.
