v0.6.3

⚠️ Upgrading

• One migration, GitHistoryTracking, applied at startup. Widening only: one nullable
  column on sources, filled by the next pass over each history source. Nothing re-chunks
  or re-embeds.
• The skill (dexicon-skill-version: 2), the SessionStart hook and the hook library
  (dexicon-hook-version: 2) change. Running scripts/install-mcp.ps1 again upgrades
  installed copies. A copy whose version marker was removed is left alone; one edited with
  its marker in place is replaced.
• install-mcp.ps1 now registers Claude Code at user scope unless -Scope is passed. An
  install made under the old default put the skill and hooks in a project's .claude,
  which -Uninstall -Scope project -Project <that repo> removes, and registered the MCP
  server at Claude Code's local scope, which claude mcp remove dexicon --scope local, run
  in that repo, removes.

Added

• Choose what a history source follows from the repository's own refs. The history
  editor's Ref box becomes Follow: the checked-out branch, a branch picked from the
  repository's local, remote-tracking and prefetched refs, or another ref typed in for a
  tag or a commit. Local branches say how far they are from their upstream as of the last
  fetch ("52 behind origin/main"), the remote-tracking group says when git fetch last
  ran, and a branch that is behind offers its upstream instead. A pick stores the full
  name, so a tag of the same name cannot take its place; a stored short name shows as
  picked as git resolves it, and one that resolves to a tag hiding a branch says so. The
  refs come from GET /api/workspaces/git?path=&ref=, which reads refs and FETCH_HEAD's
  time and nothing else: no remote URL and no configuration.

• A history source's row says how current its ref was. Each pass records the branch
  the ref resolved to, its upstream and the distance, and when a fetch last ran, in
  sources.git_tracking, returned as SourceSummary.tracking for the ref it was observed
  for. The row reads HEAD (main), "52 behind origin/main as of the fetch 3d ago" in the
  warning colour, or "fetched 3d ago" for a remote-tracking ref. A read that fails keeps
  the last record and changes nothing else about the pass.

• Keeping a mounted repository current is the host's job, and docs/04 says how.
  Dexicon does not fetch, and holds no credential for a remote. "Following a remote
  without Dexicon fetching" covers git maintenance start, whose hourly prefetch writes refs/prefetch/
  and never moves origin/main, and a scheduled git fetch, both with the host's own
  login.

Changed

• Agents are told to name the corpus that fits. With several corpora of different
  kinds, a search across all of them lets hits from the corpora that cannot hold the
  answer take the places of the one that can: a question about one project's design,
  asked of five corpora, drew 6 of its top 10 hits from the four that did not hold it.
  The skill has a direct /dexicon-search search the one or two corpora whose
  descriptions fit and widen only when that comes back empty or thin; the SessionStart
  hook says the same when more than one corpus is listed; and search_index's corpus
  description says so to every MCP client.

• Claude Code is registered at user scope. Its project and local scopes are keyed by
  the literal working-directory string, so a server added from one shell could be missing
  from a session started in another. The Access dialog's ready-to-paste command and every
  documented copy end in --scope user; the installer defaults to it for anything that
  only touches Claude Code, and honours -Scope project, which it used to drop. A
  project-scope .mcp.json or dexicon-hooks.env holds the key in plain text, and the
  docs and the installer say to keep it out of version control.

• The header wraps in reading order. Narrower than about 1,056px, its chips wrapped
  inside the bar into two ragged rows; the nav and then the status group now take rows of
  their own, in the order they are read and tabbed through. A chunk set's description
  wraps beside its buttons instead of pushing them onto a row of their own.

Fixed

• Hooks installed into a project read that project's configuration. The installer
  wrote dexicon-hooks.env into the project's .claude, and the hooks read
  ~/.claude/dexicon-hooks.env alone, so they read the user's file or none, and did
  nothing without error. They now read the file beside their hooks directory first.

• Adding a history source when git cannot be asked is a 503 with git's reason. A
  missing git or a timeout came out as a 500.

• git runs in the C locale. Where git has translations, the --stat summary line
  that goes into each commit's document was translated. Neither the image's git 2.54.0
  nor Git for Windows 2.31.1 translates, so nothing changes there.
