🚀 KALKI v1.0.19 — Native Claude Integration & Settings Modal Polish

Release Date: July 6, 2026
Build: Production

🔥 v1.0.19 Patch Notes

  • Native Claude / Anthropic Support: Implemented native Anthropic Claude completions and token streaming endpoints (ask_anthropic and ask_anthropic_stream) with direct SSE yielding, fully supporting models like claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022 and claude-3-5-haiku-20241022.
  • Wired Redesigned Settings Controls: Connected all JS components in the 12-tab configurations board, allowing the user to map distinct models for Chat, Vision, Coding, and Voice roles, verify telemetry/alert flags, trigger one-click local backups, restore ZIP containers, and add/delete semantic memories.
  • Safe Input Parsing & Guards: Wrapped type conversions (like vision retention days integer castings) and window focus restorations (SetForegroundWindow) in try/except blocks to eliminate crash vectors.
  • Version Clean Bump: Bumped version to v1.0.19 across the server configuration, ISS installer definitions, PyInstaller metadata builders, and web user interfaces.

🚀 KALKI v1.0.17 — Ultimate Intelligence, Security & HUD Upgrade

Release Date: July 6, 2026
Build: Production

🔥 v1.0.17 Patch Notes

  • Real-Time Token Streaming (SSE): Rewrote the chat completion pipe to stream tokens directly into the chat interface via Server-Sent Events (SSE), achieving sub-second time-to-first-token.
  • Secure API Key Vault: Integrated hardware-bound Windows DPAPI and native keyring storage so API secrets are encrypted and persistent across updates.
  • Advanced Model Manager: Added support for Groq, Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, and local model backends (Ollama/LM Studio) with automatic health checks.
  • Semantic Memory CRUD: Added a fully interactive memory manager in the settings panel to inspect, store, or delete long-term facts.
  • Binary Document Parsing: Drag-and-drop now parses PDFs, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and ZIP archives directly in the background using server-side extraction logic.
  • One-Click Backup & Restore: Safeguard configurations, memories, and productivity history into secure encrypted ZIP files.
  • Interactive Plexus Screensaver: Integrated a GPU-accelerated Plexus particle screen saver overlay triggered on idle or manually via the topbar.
  • Support Donation Link: Added a premium sponsorship/support button next to Settings.
  • Start Menu Launch Restoration: Restored app mutex mapping so duplicate shortcuts locate and foreground the native hidden window.

🚀 KALKI v1.0.16 — Fresh Install Bootstrapping Fix

🔥 v1.0.16 Patch Notes

  • Fresh Install Crash (ModuleNotFoundError): Fixed a major issue where fresh installations of the packaged app would crash instantly on boot. The installer now packages and deploys config.example.py correctly, allowing the app to successfully bootstrap config.py on its first launch.
  • Start Menu Pathing: Fully hardened the sys.path and working directory anchors to resolve execution failures when launched from shortcuts.

🚀 KALKI v1.0.15 — Start Menu Launch Fix

Release Date: July 6, 2026
Build: Production

🔥 v1.0.15 Patch Notes

  • Start Menu Pathing Error (ModuleNotFoundError): Fixed a critical pathing bug where launching KALKI from a shortcut (like the Start Menu or Desktop) would fail to find config.py and immediately crash. The application now properly sets its working directory and sys.path to its installation folder on boot, regardless of how it was launched.

🚀 KALKI v1.0.14 — Massive UX Overhaul & Deep Productivity Tracking

Release Date: July 6, 2026
Build: Production

🔥 v1.0.14 Patch Notes

  • Platinum Aesthetic Overhaul: Entire UI shifted from high-contrast neons to a much sleeker, premium "Platinum & Bronze" aesthetic (#9aa3ad, #a9835c).
  • Granular App-Level Productivity: productivity.py no longer relies on window titles. It now tracks the actual underlying .exe processes (e.g. chrome.exe, cursor.exe, discord.exe). The dashboard now graphs exact time spent per application within each overarching category.
  • Dynamic Morning Briefings: KALKI now fetches real-time weather via wttr.in and injects it into your morning greeting. It also intelligently changes its greeting tone based on how heavy your calendar and inbox loads are.
  • Voice & Personality GUI Configuration: The Setup Wizard (KALKI_Setup_Wizard.exe) now includes a dedicated "Voice & Personality" tab letting you change TTS Voices, Listen Mode, and Personality Spice without manually editing config files.

🚀 KALKI v1.0.13 — Hotfix for UnboundLocalError & AI Hang

Release Date: July 5, 2026
Build: Production

🔥 v1.0.13 Patch Notes

  • UnboundLocalError Fix: Resolved a critical python scoping crash in server.py that occurred when requesting email summaries or morning briefings, causing the AI brain to hang indefinitely.
  • Auto-Update Stability: Improved validation for OTA updates and remote registry values.

🚀 KALKI v1.0.12 — Chrome Startup Auto-Launch Patch

Release Date: July 5, 2026
Build: Production

🔥 v1.0.12 Patch Notes

  • Chrome Startup Patch: Removed the aggressive browser auto-launch mechanism during morning startup checks. KALKI now runs silently in the background tray and only opens a browser window when specifically summoned or requested.

🚀 KALKI v1.0.11 — Startup Hotfix & Config Bootstrap

Release Date: July 5, 2026
Build: Production

🔥 v1.0.11 Patch Notes

  • Startup Hang Fix: Fixed a fatal SyntaxError that caused the application to freeze on the boot splash screen by inserting a missing </script> tag in the dashboard HTML.
  • Config Bootstrap: Fresh installations no longer crash instantly due to a missing configuration file. The app now properly auto-copies the template config.example.py during initialization.
  • Setup Wizard Pathing: The Setup Wizard now correctly patches the active Python configuration variables instead of just writing to a disconnected JSON file.
  • Legacy Cleanup: Removed obsolete .bat files and duplicate config files from the repository root, ensuring a cleaner packaged application environment.

🚀 KALKI v1.0.10 — UX Fixes & Stability

🔥 v1.0.10 Patch Notes

  • Duplicate Instance Guard (U4): Added strong mutex locking to prevent multiple independent instances from launching on startup, which caused double-triggering of microphones and port conflicts.
  • Dashboard Layout Fix (U1): Fixed a CSS syntax regression that caused system metrics to render incorrectly on a single line.
  • Wake Focus Restoration (U2): Fixed a missing config fallback that prevented the desktop window from jumping to the foreground when summoned by voice. Added proactive config drift alerts on startup.
  • Clipboard Interactive Prompt (U3): Broadened clipboard monitoring to detect code snippets and properly integrated the response listener. KALKI will now wait up to 10 seconds for a conversational "yes/no" before analyzing copied text.

🚀 KALKI v1.0.9 — Setup Loop Hotfix

🔥 v1.0.9 Patch Notes

  • Setup Loop Fix: Fixed a regression where the setup wizard wrote the setup_complete.marker to the installation directory (data/) while the main application checked for it in the user's roaming AppData directory (%APPDATA%/KALKI/). Both now correctly use %APPDATA%/KALKI/.

🚀 KALKI v1.0.8 — Remediation & Stability Update

Release Date: July 5, 2026
Build: Production
Installer: KALKI_Setup_Wizard.exe / KALKI_Setup.exe

🔥 v1.0.8 Patch Notes

  • Cloud Sync Security: Rewrote cloud sync encryption using a portable, passphrase-based PBKDF2 + Fernet AES mechanism instead of DPAPI. Users must provide their CLOUD_SYNC_PASSPHRASE to restore or sync.
  • Robust Updater UI: Re-wired OTA downloads to stream progress chunks to the UI via STATE_UPDATE_PROGRESS and display a clear percentage inside the memory readout.
  • Boot Interceptors: Added a Safe Mode boot interceptor to cleanly display and clear data/crash.log without entering a crash loop. Added a "KALKI is Updating" splash screen when updating.lock exists.
  • Setup Wizard Fixes: The first-run state is now controlled by a dedicated setup_complete.marker rather than the fragile presence of a config file. Re-added missing Spotify, Calendar, and Telegram OAuth screens directly into the setup wizard flow.
  • Dependency & Cleanup: Purged corrupt root requirements files and ensured wmi, customtkinter, and cryptography are bundled.
  • Dead Code Purge: Cleaned out redundant header bloat and duplicate stub functions (scan_computer, sync_to_cloud) from the server core.
  • Spotify Hotfix: Properly wired the frontend "Reconnect" button to the /api/setup/tool handler for robust token refresh.

🚀 KALKI v1.0.7 — Setup & Intelligence Overhaul

Release Date: July 4, 2026
Build: Production
Installer: KALKI_Setup.exe

🔥 v1.0.7 Patch Notes

  • Installer Hotfix: Resolved the Access is Denied update error by enabling native CloseApplications=force inside the Inno Setup script to gracefully close KALKI during OTA updates.
  • Background Mic Fix: Completely rewrote the mic lifecycle with heartbeat monitoring, automatic crash recovery, and dead-thread detection. The mic now stays alive reliably.
  • Setup Wizard Redesign: Added YouTube tutorial link, Spotify/Google credential fields, step-by-step help guides, and all API key inputs.
  • Settings Page Overhaul: Added missing fields (Location, Email, GitHub, Shodan), Spotify/Google setup guides with direct links, and fixed redirect URI mismatches.
  • Morning Briefing: Greetings now include real calendar events and unread email counts from gcal.startup_summary().
  • YouTube Tutorial: Embedded setup video link in both the wizard and web settings.
  • Config Persistence: All API keys safely stored in %APPDATA%/KALKI/ — never lost on update.

🚀 KALKI v1.0.6 — Intelligence & Automation Update

Release Date: July 3, 2026
Build: Production
Installer: KALKI_Setup.exe

🔥 v1.0.6 Patch Notes

  • Live Web Browsing: KALKI can now actively fetch and read the contents of any URL you send it to solve problems using live context.
  • CTF Mode Overhaul: CTF mode now triggers an unrestricted "Hacker Mindset" prompt, making KALKI aggressively use its tools to solve challenges instead of just opening tabs.
  • Functional Gaming Mode: Gaming mode automatically kills background hogs (Chrome, VS Code) and opens Windows Quiet Moments settings.
  • Proactive Morning Briefing: On first wake before 12 PM, KALKI briefs you and asks for your day's priorities, automatically generating Tasks and Reminders.
  • Attitude Enforcement: Be nice. Excessive rudeness prompts KALKI to roast you and physically lock your Windows screen via system_control.
  • Persistent Setup: user_config.json is now stored securely in %APPDATA%, preventing data wipe during background app updates.
  • Zero Mic Dropping: Fixed a regression where background listening rapidly toggled during TTS response, causing dropped words and failed confirmations.

🚀 KALKI v1.0.5 — Microphone Hardware Toggle Patch

Release Date: July 3, 2026
Build: Production
Installer: KALKI_Setup.exe

🔥 v1.0.5 Patch Notes

  • Microphone Auto-Toggle Fix: KALKI now automatically and cleanly releases the OS microphone hardware whenever it starts speaking (TTS), turning the microphone icon completely off. The HUD microphone button visually syncs with this behavior.
  • Auto-Updater Fix: Bumped internal version tracking to ensure seamless future over-the-air (OTA) updates.

🚀 v1.0.4 — Mood Engine & Stability Update

🎭 Mood Swing Engine (Persistent)

  • KALKI now detects your mood from your language and matches your energy exactly
  • Use aggressive or vulgar language → KALKI mirrors your tone, roasts back harder, uses strong language freely
  • Persistent moods: Aggressive mode stays active for 5+ exchanges — no more random de-escalation after one message
  • KALKI will never say "let's keep things respectful" or "I don't want to fight" while you're bantering
  • Automatically cools down after 5 clean exchanges

👋 Dynamic Greeting System

  • Every boot generates a unique, multi-line greeting assembled from randomized pools
  • Time-of-day aware: different pools for morning, afternoon, evening, and night
  • Personalized with owner name and title
  • Contextual sign-offs that vary each session
  • Two greetings almost never sound the same

🖥️ Dynamic Hardware Detection

  • System specs (CPU model, GPU name, RAM size) are auto-detected at runtime
  • No more hardcoded "RTX 5060 / 32GB RAM" — every user sees their actual hardware
  • Works across all supported NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs

☁️ Firebase Cloud Sync

  • Configuration and session data sync to Firebase Realtime Database
  • Cross-device persistence and cloud backup capability
  • Secured with Firebase Admin SDK service account authentication

  • core/updater.py — Auto-update checker

🛠️ Improvements

  • Base prompt personality: Changed from "strictly professional" to "adaptable to user's mood" — enables natural mood matching
  • Abuse restriction softened: KALKI can now match aggressive banter energy instead of being forced to stay calm
  • Greeting diversity: 8+ opener variants, 5+ sign-offs, weather-aware, day-aware
  • Adaptive Display Engine 2.0: Constraint-based layout with dynamic REM scaling for any resolution
