Kip v0.5.3

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.


  • 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.
