Kip v0.7.3

Platform	File
Windows 10/11 x64	Kip-Setup-*.exe — run it; per-user install, no admin prompt
Linux x64 (AppImage)	Kip-*.AppImage — chmod +x, run it; updates itself
Linux x64 (portable)	Kip-*.tar.gz — tar -xzf, run ./kip

From here on Kip can update itself: the in-app "a newer Kip is available" banner gets an Update button (Windows installer + AppImage). The portable tar.gz updates by hand.

Windows SmartScreen: the binary is signed but the certificate is self-issued, so SmartScreen still shows unknown publisher — More info → Run anyway.
Linux/Wayland: ./kip --ozone-platform-hint=auto.

• Fixed: a short capture wasn't hatching. A quick note typed into the
  PWA's Capture screen, or pasted via the desktop's paste-source panel,
  could be silently skipped as "near-empty" by Hatch if it was short (Hatch's
  filter for Logseq's auto-created blank stub pages didn't distinguish those
  from a genuinely short, deliberately-typed capture). Fixed in the
  retrieval layer — see its own changelog for detail.

• Fixed unreadable text in the slide view. "View as slides" text was
  rendering as dark, low-contrast text against a mismatched background under
  Kip's own theming. The slide deck now always uses a plain white background
  with black text.

• Batch review for Hatch. "Review each source's pages before writing" now
  proposes and commits a group of pending files at once (3 by default)
  instead of one at a time — one combined LLM call proposes the group, one
  write pass commits it, with independent per-file checkboxes and a "Skip
  this file" per card (#151).
• Hatch drains the whole pending queue in one click. "Start — hatch N
  files" used to process one 10-file chunk per click; it now keeps going
  on its own until nothing's pending, with a circuit breaker that stops and
  surfaces an error if a round makes no progress instead of retrying failures
  forever.
• Kip's own pages/ folder no longer gets indexed by Logseq itself,
  eliminating the duplicate-title errors that caused.
• "Report this bug" now files directly on GitHub instead of relaying
  through kip-backend — opens this repo's own GitHub issue form prefilled
  with your bug description and Kip's version, no backend hop or server-held
  GitHub credential involved.
• Slide view gets a real fullscreen button — "View as slides" previously
  only supported fullscreen via a hidden f shortcut; there's now a visible
  button, and the deck actually fills the screen instead of staying capped
  at the sidebar panel's height.

• Peck now runs over a persistent sidecar, not spawn-per-action. The chat
  panel used to shell out to scripts/chat.js for every message and poll
  .roost/peck-progress.json for progress; it now speaks a versioned
  WebSocket protocol to one long-lived Kip sidecar process per open coop.
  • Turns stream live (turn.delta) straight into the answer bubble instead
    of arriving as a single blob at the end.
  • Cancel actually aborts a running turn in under a second — the sidecar
    now drives a real turn loop instead of a stub that returned
    NOT_IMPLEMENTED.
  • Live tool/skill activity (skill.progress) renders as the turn runs, and
    a turn's sources, evidence, "learned" card and rating/arena widgets are
    now backed by real tool-output accounting from the sidecar rather than
    best-effort text parsing.
  • Conversation history and follow-up depth are now carried on every turn,
    fixing replies that ignored earlier context.
  • The sidecar ships bundled inside the packaged app (<app>/sidecar); a
    dropped connection now fails a pending action cleanly instead of hanging.
  • The chat panel warms its own connection as soon as it mounts rather than
    on the first message, removing a race that could make the very first
    message in a session fail or hang.

• Mindmaps — a new kind of page where the map is the outline. Make one
  from the Mindmaps entry in the sidebar (or the whiteboards dashboard). The
  page H1 is the central topic and bullets are branches; it stays plain
  Markdown, so it syncs, greps, hatches and exports like any other page.
  • Clean auto-laid-out tree renderer with collapse/expand — not a whiteboard.
  • Edit structure on the map: Enter / Tab / Shift+Tab, a toolbar for add /
    delete / indent, and drag a topic to re-parent it (cycle-safe).
  • Click the central topic to name the map.
  • Map-wide themes, per-topic colour and shape, TODO / DOING / DONE markers,
    a notes side panel, and clickable pasted links — all stored as Markdown
    block properties, so they round-trip through the file.
  • New tree — a topic that starts its own tree, unconnected to the
    centre. Drag a topic onto empty canvas to detach it, onto another node to
    reconnect it.
  • Flip between the map and the plain outline editor with a header button or
    Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+M.
• Whiteboards are now off by default. Existing whiteboards are untouched;
  turn them back on — and toggle Mindmaps — under Settings → Advanced.

• People panel now lists your people — people-list! called a Node
  path.name that doesn't exist, so the read threw and the panel showed
  "No people yet" no matter how many person pages were in the nest. (The
  0.5.4 frontmatter-parser fix was necessary but not sufficient.)
• Delete a person from the People panel — each row gets a delete action
  behind a confirm; it removes the nest/people/<slug>.md page and its
  index entry, and regenerates the nest catalog. [[links]] to the person
  elsewhere are left in place.
• Follow-up name autocomplete — toggle "Follow-up" in the Tasks panel and
  start typing a name: a dropdown suggests people already in your coop
  (matched on name + aliases, prefix hits first), with arrow-key / click
  selection.

• Fix: blank buttons in the Reminders / LLM / Skills panels — the shared
  ui/button helper dropped the label when called with options first, so
  text-only buttons ("Add", "Test", "Test search", …) rendered empty.
• Fix: People panel always empty — the frontmatter parser shadowed
  clojure.core/rest with a loop binding, so every person page failed to parse
  and the panel showed "No people yet" even with people in the nest.

• Manual re-hatch — the Hatch modal gains a "Re-hatch already-hatched
  sources" toggle that threads --force through, so you can deliberately
  re-hatch a source whose trace hub already exists in the nest (kip-app#124).
• Interaction capture — a local POST /interactions endpoint logs an
  interaction (email/call/meeting) onto a person's page, resolving the person
  by canonical email and appending to its ## Interactions section
  (kip-app#127).
• Gmail helper extension — a Chrome extension (separate repo
  kip-gmail-extension) logs the sender of an open thread to their person page.
  A new /pair endpoint gives it a one-click connection: Kip mints a token
  after you approve the request (kip-app#133).
• "Enable extensions" setting — Settings → Advanced now exposes a friendly
  toggle that starts (and autostarts) the local API server, replacing the old
  hidden "HTTP APIs server" switch.
• Fix: welcome card before a graph — the first-run welcome card no longer
  appears on the demo/nil graph, so "Get started" can't point at a graph that
  doesn't exist yet.

• "New person" in the People panel — add a person directly (name, email,
  org, role, phone, aliases) instead of only hatching them from sources. Writes
  the same well-formed nest/people/ page, deduped by email.

• Fix: todos showing blank rows and no reminder bell — a stateful-component
  mixin was declared with the wrong macro, so each todo row received nil
  instead of its block (empty text, no due date, no bell). Reminders were also
  unreachable because the bell never rendered.
