v1.3.0 — Wider board coverage, smarter device packs, guided onboarding
Successor to v1.2.0 (Stock inventory, donor boards, faster boardview).
What's new
Broader boardview format support — reads a wide range of open and legacy
binary boardview formats (.bv .brd .bvr .asc .bdv .cad .cst .f2b .fz .gr .tvw .pcb), each via its own interoperability-focused parser; the right one is
selected automatically, and unreadable binaries fail with a clear message
instead of producing a blank board.
Device-kind detection — identifies the board type (e.g. laptop vs GPU) from
the board graph and constrains pack building accordingly, for more accurate
per-device knowledge packs. When the signals disagree, it asks for confirmation
instead of guessing.
Schematic upload at repair creation — attach a schematic (PDF) when you
start a repair, via the new "+ knowledge" flow, to enrich the device's pack.
Higher-quality knowledge packs — derived-pack enrichments now carry
provenance + confidence, are PII-sanitised, versioned, and revocable (new
wb-pack-admin operator CLI: list / show / revoke / affected-by).
Guided onboarding — first-run interactive tour on a shipped demo board,
walking through the schematic, the memory graph and the diagnostic agent —
free, no setup, no credits spent.
Rebuilt boardview workbench — the viewer moved to a WebGL renderer: smoother
pan/zoom, screen-constant on-board agent annotations, and noticeably faster on
large boards.
Smarter diagnostic agent — can recall prior field reports, patterns and
playbooks while diagnosing.
Technician profile & workshop setup — redesigned workshop picker (icons,
card toggles, custom free-text tools) and a wider, clearer configuration flow.
Engine runtime — the direct runtime reached parity with the managed runtime
on per-call metering, stream resilience, protocol confirmation and camera capture.
Fixes & polish
- More robust boardview parsing — empty net/nail blocks, format auto-routing,
and no more stray parts stacked at the board origin. - Diagnostic stream resilience — an inactivity watchdog (no more production
freezes) plus mid-turn error recovery that keeps the session alive. - The capability dashboard now gates on the derived electrical graph, not the
source PDF. - Schema/pack migration robustness — no data loss on upgrade.
☁️ WrenchBoard Cloud is coming
A hosted version is on the way at wrenchboard.cloud —
the easiest way to use WrenchBoard, with nothing to install or set up. Sign up
to be among the first to try it. The engine in this repo stays open-source and
self-hostable; the hosted layer is the optional managed product.
Notes
- Open core — self-hostable; the engine trusts only a service token and holds no secrets.
- Drop-in upgrade — no migration steps for existing self-hosted deployments.
