The full project story, architecture, safety model, installation guide, and road to 1.0 are now documented in the main README.

AI Orchestrator 0.12.0

This public pre-release modernizes the Home Assistant add-on around one deterministic, provider-neutral agent kernel.

• One guarded Home Assistant mutation path; direct execution and legacy cadence loops disabled by default
• Sandboxed generated dashboards with restrictive CSP and trusted parent-mediated state updates
• React 19 / Vite 8 frontend and current Python/MCP/ChromaDB/Ollama SDK stack
• Deterministic kernel tests plus a ten-scenario model evaluation dataset
• Removed 9,091 generated node_modules files from Git tracking

Verification

• 266 backend tests passed
• 4 opt-in live external-MCP tests skipped
• Frontend production build passed

Upgrade notes

Back up /data/chroma before upgrading. Keep dry_run_mode: true for initial testing. reasoning_allow_direct_execute, enable_legacy_autonomous_loops, and enable_legacy_dashboard_loop now default to false.
