SessionSift 2.1.0

First public release. SessionSift runs entirely on your machine; no account,
login or cloud service is needed.

Added

• Three supported ways to install: the LanceSandino Homebrew tap with a user-level brew services service, a local-only Docker Compose file, and building from source.
• sessionsift web checks that the local agent is ready and opens the dashboard.
• sessionsift setup mcp previews, applies, verifies and undoes the local MCP configuration for Codex and Claude Code.
• Release archives for macOS Intel and Linux amd64 with SHA-256 checksums and an SPDX software inventory.

Improved

• The dashboard is local-first by default; sharing and remote controls appear only after you opt in.
• Docker Compose keeps the dashboard on 127.0.0.1, mounts transcript folders read-only and needs no cloud services.

Fixed

• MCP tool output schemas now have an object root, so strict clients such as Claude Desktop list and call all ten tools.
• Session-scope checks treat Unicode look-alike JSON keys (such as a long s) as the field the decoder reads, so a scoped request cannot select a different session.
• The optional hosted-bridge client no longer follows HTTP redirects, so signed requests cannot be forwarded to another origin.
• Local backups are written in a private staging folder and only appear once they are owner-only.
• Codex tool-target paths are redacted before they are shortened, so home-folder account names are not kept.
• Release binaries use the patched Go standard library version required by the security scan.
• Updated a web build dependency to address a published source-map parsing vulnerability.

Notes

• Apple Silicon and Linux ARM64 builds are not offered yet.
• macOS binaries are unsigned and unnotarized; checksums verify downloads, not publisher identity.
• The source also contains an optional hosted bridge, remote MCP and client-encrypted sync. They are experimental and not offered or supported as a service in this release.

SessionSift 2.0.1: Lower background CPU use

Improved

• Background collection coalesces transcript changes and waits between scans, including when no browser is open.
• Unchanged transcripts use one batched import-manifest read instead of a database query for every file.

Fixed

• Codex heartbeat timestamps no longer trigger full transcript imports; renamed titles and execution metadata refresh without reparsing conversation history.

SessionSift 2.0.0: Stable Docker service and visible release history

Added

• Docker Compose services for the Local Agent and hosted bridge with persistent existing state, bounded health checks, and automatic restart.
• A paginated in-app changelog backed by the same semantic release catalog as the CLI version.

Changed

• Breaking: macOS service operations now use Docker Compose instead of project-managed launchd agents.
• Protocol and file reads observed in Codex tool calls are visible as provenance badges.
• Bounded full-session reads support long-running conversations without removing response ceilings.

SessionSift 1.8.0: Personal optimization and session provenance

Added

• A private recommendation, experiment, measurement, and weekly-report loop.
• Session ownership filters and evidence-qualified protocol, Blueprint, memory, and file-read callouts.

Fixed

• Oversized transcript records recover without hiding later records.
• Analytics inventory and diagnostics distinguish deliberate exclusions from parser loss.

SessionSift 1.7.0: Conversation-first workspace

Changed

• Rebuilt local and shared-session interfaces around Conversation, Timeline, Tools, Review, and Evidence views.
• Mobile discovery, timeline containment, card sizing, and latest-navigation behavior now follow their actual containers.

Fixed

• Codex turn identities are session-scoped and per-session import failures no longer stop later sessions.

SessionSift 1.6.0: Claude parity and support codes

Added

• Claude Code transcript discovery and Claude.ai export import under the shared redaction model.
• Device-generated single-session support codes with view, comment, or review roles.

Security

• Added keyed path hashes, bounded hook metadata, fail-closed local state reloads, and explicit owner authorization controls.

SessionSift 1.5.0: Private collaboration beta

Added

• Hosted bridge, OAuth-backed MCP, email-bound invitations, pairing, grants, annotations, and review decisions.
• Envelope-encrypted transient relay tasks, metadata-only audit, paired bridge backups, and recovery checks.

Security

• Access identity never replaces Local Agent capability grants; public routes fail closed without origin verification.

SessionSift 1.4.0: Analytics and resilient operation

Added

• Privacy-safe aggregate analytics, source/model/tool breakdowns, and deterministic recommendations.
• SQLite readiness, private retained backups, bounded HTTP timeouts, and supervised restart templates.

Fixed

• Interactive reads remain responsive during ingestion and session lists page beyond the first 25 records.

SessionSift 1.3.0: Responsive evidence workspace

Changed

Fixed

• Safari overlap, black refresh, nullable collection, and long-timeline navigation failures.

Added
