v1.7.2

jot v1.7.2

This release hardens jot assistant from the first 1.7.x launch into something much more useful for real daily work. The focus is Gmail and Calendar completion, browser-computer form handling, journal backup and restore, and the first native messaging-channel groundwork.

What's new

• Added journal backup export and restore flows for jot assistant, including:
  • export my jot journal and email it to me
  • import my jot journal from Gmail
• Added Gmail send fallback to draft, so if sending fails Jot saves the message in Gmail drafts instead of dead-ending.
• Added inline Gmail send re-auth in assistant flows, so Jot can reconnect Gmail send access and continue the original action automatically.
• Expanded Gmail and Calendar assistant flows around:
  • read
  • reply
  • schedule
  • clear
• Added browser-computer form handling with:
  • direct form URL support
  • browser-first filling and review
  • question-by-question progress
  • stronger Microsoft Forms reliability
• Added the first shared assistant memory scaffolding and native messaging-channel groundwork.
• Added WhatsApp native bridge scaffolding with a Baileys-backed local bridge under tools/whatsapp-bridge.
• Improved assistant docs, onboarding guidance, and local developer handoff docs.

Notes

• This release is still local-first. Gmail and Calendar remain designed around private/local OAuth setup.
• Browser-computer form support is materially stronger than 1.7.0, but it is still best treated as beta across arbitrary websites.
• WhatsApp native bridge groundwork is included, but the full always-on message runtime is not the headline production surface yet.

Release notes

• GitHub release assets are built locally for v1.7.2.
• Homebrew formula metadata is updated from the local release pipeline.
• npm metadata is updated to 1.7.2, but publishing still depends on npm authentication.
• Chocolatey packaging metadata is updated locally; publishing still depends on CHOCO_API_KEY.
