v0.0.8

Butler v0.0.8

Change Log

• Added bounded concurrent session execution for queued inbound work, including
  stronger claim ordering, dispatch failure handling, and recovery behavior.
• Preserved WorkStream continuity across direct-work continuations and kept
  persona context intact when Butler resumes the same logical task.
• Added live turn token budget attribution, prompt-cache metrics, usage monitor
  reporting, and live context usage telemetry for better runtime accounting.
• Exposed dynamic runtime preparation progress through app gateway events so the
  Butler App can show preparation state while the native runtime starts.
• Added the Butler App conversation scroll-to-bottom control and tightened
  auto-scroll behavior around new messages.
• Fixed Project Ledger dashboard freshness, linked worker-cancel cleanup, and
  structured command artifact path verification.
• Standardized README model provider names and refreshed release install
  references for the current package version.
• Hardened macOS app release icon normalization and package smoke coverage so
  packaged app metadata stays aligned with Butler branding.

v0.0.7

Butler v0.0.7

Change Log

• Fixed Butler App macOS release packaging so the packaged .app uses the
  Butler icon instead of falling back to Electron's default icon.
• Made the app release packager pass the Butler .icns file as an absolute
  path, matching the repo-root execution context used by GitHub Actions.
• Isolated the packager icon input from the adjacent assets/butler.icon
  directory so macOS runners without Xcode 26 do not enter the Icon Composer
  .icon packaging path.
• Added a release-time macOS app icon hash check so future app releases fail if
  the packaged icon does not match assets/butler.icns.
• Tightened app package smoke coverage to compare the packaged electron.icns
  resource against the Butler icon hash instead of only checking that an icon
  file exists.

v0.0.6

Butler v0.0.6

Change Log

• Fixed cancelled app turns so late app transport progress or final-result
  projection cannot resurrect a turn as delivered after the user cancels it.
• Stopped queued app inbound work from dispatching when the target turn is
  already terminal, preventing stale orchestration from restarting after cancel.
• Added native runtime abort guards so tool execution stops before follow-up
  orchestration tools can run after cancellation.
• Corrected Project Ledger integration boundaries: Butler resolves the packaged
  CLI from BUTLER_HOME, while canonical ledger data resolves under
  BUTLER_DATA/project-ledger/projects.
• Removed internal worker activity fields from public list_tasks summaries and
  synchronized release packaging tests with the active package version.

v0.0.4

Butler v0.0.4

Change Log

• Fixed Butler App browser compatibility for environments where
  crypto.randomUUID is unavailable. The web client now uses the shared app ID
  helper backed by the npm uuid package instead of crashing in older browser
  runtimes.
• Made the Telegram gateway opt-in by default. Fresh installs and installs that
  do not select Telegram no longer start Telegram polling or emit repeated
  missing-token logs, and disabling Telegram stops the runtime polling path.
• Added log following support for Butler CLI log commands. Human-mode log reads
  can now stream newly appended safe log lines with --follow.
• Added service health visibility to butler status. Human output and JSON
  status now include per-service health such as butler-agent, gateway-app,
  and other registered services.

Validation

• bun run check passed after release preparation.
• bun run release:gate passed after release preparation.
• bun run release:service:package --out dist/release/service --artifact-base-url https://github.com/Hexpy-Games/butler/releases/download/v0.0.4 rebuilt the
  service tarball, SHA256 file, service release manifest, and update manifest.
• bun run release:app:package --out dist/release/app --artifact-base-url https://github.com/Hexpy-Games/butler/releases/download/v0.0.4 rebuilt the
  macOS app zip, Linux app tarball, SHA256 files, app release manifest, and app
  update manifest.
• Generated release SHA256 files were verified locally before upload.
• Published v0.0.4 GitHub Release assets and manifests were verified after
  upload.

v0.0.3

Butler v0.0.3

Change Log

• Replaced misleading memory recall labeling with LanceDB-backed vector recall
  evidence. Butler now separates semantic_similarity, lexical_match,
  contextual_match, graph, task, and explicit-memory evidence in recall
  diagnostics.
• Added production hot-cache vector backfill through butler cognition memory maintain --hot-cache-backfill-only --json, so existing hot-cache memory can
  be indexed through the same CLI path used by the real runtime.
• Reworked recall ranking away from anonymous fixed weighted sums and added a
  real-data A/B gate against the legacy keyword-weighted baseline. The latest
  gate showed 4 legacy-baseline lifts, 0 legacy regressions, 0 top decoys, 0
  positive misses, and 0 negative false positives on the Butler data snapshot.
• Hardened work-state persistence with locked atomic file-state writes for
  planned task state, with concurrent TaskStore and PlannedTaskStore E2E
  contention evidence.
• Improved the agent loop so repeated identical failed tool calls can stop
  early without discarding a successful alternate tool result from the same
  safe parallel batch.
• Fixed packaged Butler App startup so the desktop client attaches to an
  already healthy local app gateway, avoids Electron-owned gateway pid-file
  contention, and resolves the managed Bun runtime under Finder-like macOS
  launch environments.
• Added dedicated Butler App release artifacts. Version-tag releases now build
  a signed butler-app-0.0.3-darwin-arm64.zip, a
  butler-app-0.0.3-linux-x64.tar.gz, SHA256 files, app-release-manifest.json,
  and app-update-manifest.json alongside the service artifact.
• Strengthened real-data E2E reporting. The evidence gate now records prompt
  input, internal recall/tool-loop diagnostics, target-vector-backed evidence,
  file-state contention evidence, safe-tool parallel execution, unsafe-tool
  serialization, repeated-failure early stop, and alternate-path recovery.

Validation

  no stale views or next actions.

v0.0.2

Butler v0.0.2

Change Log

• Ship service release artifacts from version tags. The v* tag workflow builds
  the Butler service package, verifies the packaged Butler App web client, and
  uploads the tarball, SHA256 file, release manifest, and update manifest to the
  matching GitHub Release.
• Built Butler App web client assets into the service artifact so user installs
  serve the app UI without asking users to build frontend assets.
• Include prebuilt native butler CLI launchers in the service artifact and
  install them into the user's Butler bin directory.
• Harden the interactive Docker installer path so release artifacts can be
  tested with the app gateway reachable from the host without colliding with a
  host Butler already using port 18765.
• Print the installed Butler App server URL and health endpoint after install so
  users can verify the running app gateway immediately.
• Publish service update manifests with the GitHub Release artifact URL and
  SHA256 instead of a build-runner local file URL.
• Move profile-learning consent out of install.sh and into first-chat
  onboarding, with installer language carried into the agent response language.
• Preserve installed local model and language choices end-to-end: local model
  setup becomes the app's selected model, installer language seeds the app UI
  locale and agent response language, and personalization exposes response
  language selection.
• Improve first-chat onboarding, persona preset application, local model retry
  handling, and installed CLI path setup.
