Codex Companion v0.4.47

Changes:

• Split speed and reasoning into separate settings.
• Speed now controls only the Codex CLI service tier: codex_config or Fast/service_tier=priority.
• Added separate reasoning effort controls: codex_config, low, medium, high, xhigh, max, ultra.
• Settings now reads the live Codex CLI model catalog and falls back safely when a saved model is stale.
• Updated README, user manual, changelog, static UI checks, and release package checks.

Verification:

• python3 -m unittest discover -s tests: 587 tests passed.
• python3 -m py_compile companion.py runtime_config.py send_action.py doctor.py refresh_mn_runtime.py release_acceptance.py package_release.py ui_functional_acceptance.py: passed.
• node --check extension/codex.mn.assistant/web/app.js: passed.
• release_smoke_test.py for dist zip and mnaddon: passed.

Known release-evidence gaps:

• release_acceptance.py still blocks on live MN4 runtime evidence for pluginVersion 0.4.47 until MarginNote 4 is restarted and the panel is opened.
• Native visible-highlight proof, signed/notarized pkg proof, and cross-machine install evidence are still missing. The pkg asset in this release is unsigned.

Codex Companion v0.4.42

Codex Companion v0.4.42

Public preview stability release focused on long-running Companion memory use, PDF text extraction, and local log growth.

Highlights

• Codex CLI generation no longer captures stdout/stderr through in-memory pipes. The Companion writes them to temporary files and only reads bounded tail text for diagnostics.
• PDF full-text extraction now streams PyMuPDF page output through temporary JSONL instead of returning one large stdout payload to the main service process.
• Recent runtime/event checks now tail-read events.jsonl instead of loading the whole event log.
• Successful HTTP access logs are suppressed by default, while client-disconnect write errors are ignored to avoid noisy launchd logs.
• Added a regression assertion so future changes cannot silently route Codex CLI stdout/stderr back through subprocess.PIPE.

Known Preview Blockers

This is still a public preview, not final v1.0/v3. release_acceptance.py is intentionally not releasable yet because final-release gates remain blocked on fresh MN4 runtime Web controls/native API evidence, signed/notarized pkg, cross-machine install evidence, visible native highlight proof, and same-document runtime acceptance evidence.

Codex Companion v0.4.41

Codex Companion v0.4.41

Public preview release focused on the simplified Tools surface, expert-mode workspace, and stricter UI acceptance.

Highlights

• Default Workspace now opens as a simple task center instead of dropping users into the full expert workbench.
• Expert Mode now exposes Notebook Workspace, Workspace Navigator, object, operation, knowledge, workflow, and ledger details with a visible return path.
• Command Pane expansion now hides Workspace Navigator even in Expert Mode, keeping the prompt input and send button usable in small plugin windows.
• UI functional acceptance now matches the new product flow and verifies simple mode, Expert Mode, responsive layouts, button focus behavior, Enter send, prompt clearing, settings/history pages, and write-action wiring.
• Added/refined zero-message notebook kernels for Object Intake, Knowledge Console Matrix, Notebook Runbook, Object Task Composer, and Workflow Builder Board.

Known Preview Blockers

This is still a public preview, not final v1.0/v3. Final-release gates remain blocked on fresh MN4 runtime evidence after reopening MarginNote 4, visible native highlight proof, signed/notarized pkg, cross-machine install evidence, and same-document acceptance evidence.

Codex Companion v0.4.40

Codex Companion v0.4.40

This public preview moves Codex Companion beyond a chat-only panel toward a first-stage MarginNote Knowledge Agent OS.

Highlights

• Added first-stage Live MN Object Kernel, Source Registry action evidence, External Automation Gateway, Skill Runtime v2, and Verification Agent.
• Added Knowledge OS shell anchors in the WebView so stale chat-only runtimes are detected by doctor and single-document acceptance checks.
• Improved transactional native edit evidence by separating note/card rollback and residual proof.
• Upgraded workflow and skill runtime evidence with dry-run-first plans, next/resume actions, and verification reports.
• Updated bilingual README, product spec, user manual, release matrix, and current release audit for the v0.4.40 architecture.

Known Preview Blockers

This is not a final v1.0/v3 release. Current release acceptance remains blocked on runtime WebView events after reopening MarginNote 4, native API probe evidence, visible native highlight evidence, signed/notarized pkg, cross-machine install evidence, and same-document acceptance evidence.

v0.4.39 - Actionable Source Registry

Public preview release.

Changes:

• Adds a Source Registry Action Plan to notebook_workspace.
• Notebook Workspace now shows Source Registry action buttons for cache current PDF, choose local PDF file, manage file paths, and refresh MarginNote context.
• Study Program source_registry gaps now point to the recommended Source Registry action instead of only showing text.
• Promotes notebookWorkspaceSourceActions to required runtime controls in doctor and single-document acceptance.

Verification:

• 507 Python unit tests passed.
• JS and Python syntax checks passed.
• release zip smoke passed.
• mnaddon smoke passed.
• install dry-run passed.
• unsigned pkg built.
• local install replacement completed.

Known preview blockers for final v1.0 remain: runtime WebView evidence after MN4 reload, native API probe evidence after panel open, visible native highlight evidence, signed pkg, notarized pkg, cross-machine install evidence, and single-document acceptance.

v0.4.38 - Notebook Source Registry

Public preview release.

Changes:

• Adds the first Notebook Source Registry kernel.
• Notebook Workspace now shows readable material sources across MN document metadata, explicit PDF paths, PDF cache, uploads, and configured search roots.
• Study Program now reports a source_registry gap when no readable full-document material is available.
• Separates total uploads from readable uploads so stale upload records no longer mark full-document work as ready.

Verification:

• 506 Python unit tests passed.
• JS and Python syntax checks passed.
• release zip smoke passed.
• mnaddon smoke passed.
• install dry-run passed.
• unsigned pkg built.
• local install replacement completed.

Known preview blockers for final v1.0 remain: runtime WebView evidence after MN4 reload, native API probe evidence after panel open, visible native highlight evidence, signed pkg, notarized pkg, cross-machine install evidence, and single-document acceptance.

v0.4.37 - Zero-Message Study Program

What changed

• Added codex.mn.studyProgram.v1 to Notebook Workspace.
• The first screen now shows zero-message coverage, concrete gaps, and recommended workflows without requiring a chat prompt first.
• Added visible Study Program controls for coverage, gaps, and workflow recommendations.
• Recommendations reuse existing workflow_start, confirmation, dry-run, and ledger paths instead of adding a write shortcut.
• Doctor and single-document acceptance now require the Study Program controls.

Verification

• python3 -m unittest discover -s tests: 504 tests passed.
• node --check extension/codex.mn.assistant/main.js passed.
• node --check extension/codex.mn.assistant/web/app.js passed.
• Python py_compile for Companion scripts passed.
• Release zip, mnaddon, package build, and install dry-run passed.

Known release gates

• Runtime Web controls and native API evidence require reopening or restarting the MarginNote panel for pluginVersion 0.4.37.
• Native visible highlight evidence, signed package, notarization, cross-machine install evidence, and single-document acceptance remain final release gates.

v0.4.36 - Notebook Runbook Preflight Ledger

What changed

• Added a real notebook runbook preflight ledger instead of only documenting the future design.
• AutoPlan executions now record running, completed, failed, cancelled, duration, actions, and target notebook evidence.
• Notebook Workspace now shows the latest AutoPlan run status, and Operation Ledger can inspect preflight evidence with a no-write verification policy.
• Updated Chinese and English docs to separate the current v0.4 product from the true v3 Notebook Knowledge OS target.

Verification

• python3 -m unittest discover -s tests: 503 tests passed.
• node --check for main.js and web/app.js passed.
• python3 -m py_compile for Companion scripts passed.
• release_smoke_test passed for zip, mnaddon, pkg, and install dry-run.

Known release gates

• Runtime evidence requires reopening/restarting MarginNote 4 panel after install.
• Package is unsigned/not notarized.
• Native highlight and cross-machine install evidence remain release-gate items.

v0.4.35 - Notebook Runbook AutoPlan

v0.4.35 - Notebook Runbook AutoPlan

• Adds autoPlan to codex.mn.notebookRunbook.v1 with schema codex.mn.notebookRunbookAutoPlan.v1.
• Adds the visible notebookWorkspaceRunbookAutoButton / 自动准备 entry in Notebook Workspace.
• Auto prepare runs safe preflight actions sequentially through existing workspace actions: native MN object scan, mind-map baseline read, and operation planning. It does not write to MarginNote; writes still go through Diff, confirmation, and Operation Ledger.
• Keeps Continue next step for single-gap progression and preserves native_object_scan evidence as the scan readiness boundary.
• Ships full installer zip, native .mnaddon bundle, unsigned pkg, and SHA256SUMS.

Preview release note: final v1.0 gates still require fresh MN4 runtime evidence, visible native highlight evidence, single-document acceptance, cross-machine install evidence, and signed/notarized pkg.

v0.4.34 - Notebook Runbook Continue

v0.4.34 - Notebook Runbook Continue

• Adds a single Notebook Runbook Continue action in Notebook Workspace. The button executes the first actionable runbook gap instead of requiring users to inspect each row manually.
• Adds nextStep/continueAction to codex.mn.notebookRunbook.v1 and requires notebookWorkspaceRunbookContinueButton in WebView, doctor, and single-document acceptance checks.
• Tightens MN object scan readiness: cached mind-map Registry objects no longer count as native scan completion; ready requires native_object_scan evidence.
• Ships full installer zip, native .mnaddon bundle, unsigned pkg, and SHA256SUMS.

Preview release note: final v1.0 gates still require fresh MN4 runtime evidence, visible native highlight evidence, single-document acceptance, cross-machine install evidence, and signed/notarized pkg.
