MarkMaid v0.1.8

MarkMaid v0.1.8

MarkMaid v0.1.8 is an engineering-foundation release for the read-only local
document workspace. It adds no new reading workflow. It hardens the typed
frontend ↔ Rust command contract, session restore, and shell structure that
v0.1.9's persisted reading metadata and localization work will use.

Highlights

• A single Specta registry generates the TypeScript contract for all 25 Rust
  commands and all 26 frontend call sites, with committed output and a
  deterministic ipc:check drift gate.
• Frontend native calls use the generated command catalog and shared typed
  result handling. Raw invoke remains only in generated output.
• Session-v1 restore now runs through a pure migration and normalization
  pipeline with fixture-driven coverage. Invalid values fall back to defaults.
  Store-open and Store-write failures show one privacy-safe notice and disable
  persistence for that launch without overwriting an unreadable file.
• Quick Open, Command Palette, workspace tree, Find, Settings/status, export,
  sidebar, external-open, and tab interaction views are isolated from the
  composition root.

Compatibility and non-goals

The persisted session schema remains exactly version 1. Focus Mode, closed-tab
history, and document visit history stay runtime-only. Existing v0.1.7 sessions
restore normally.

MarkMaid remains preview-first and read-only. This release does not add
Favorites, bookmarks, highlights, notes, persisted reading history, UI
localization, Workspace Switcher, full-text search, editing, continuous
filesystem watching, Developer ID signing, or notarization.

Installation

MarkMaid is currently distributed for Apple Silicon Macs. Download either the
DMG or app ZIP from the GitHub Release.

Current builds use an ad-hoc signature rather than Developer ID signing and
notarization. After copying MarkMaid to /Applications, clear the quarantine
attribute if macOS blocks the app:

xattr -cr /Applications/MarkMaid.app
