Nook v0.1.6

Fixed

• On macOS and Linux, shut down the Daemon within 5 seconds of receiving SIGTERM or SIGINT, and stop the Daemon that the Panel started when the Panel quits.

Nook v0.1.5

Added

• Add file tools and a command tool that run in the Daemon inside a native OS sandbox (Seatbelt on macOS, bubblewrap on Linux). Windows has no sandbox, so Nook turns these tools off there.
• On Linux, install bubblewrap to use the command tool and MCP servers. The Debian package recommends it. Without it, these tools stay off.
• Manage the folders that the file and command tools can use in Settings, Folders, and in the macOS app menu. A change applies at once.
• Register MCP servers in the configuration. Nook restarts a server that stopped.
• Add news, video, and book search tools.
• Add a Permissions tab with permanent grants and a preference for each tool.
• Add a Tools tab that shows each tool source, its state, and why it is off.
• Keep a private Daemon log in the application folder, with secrets removed.

Changed

• Move every tool authorization decision into the Daemon. The Panel shows the approval actions that the Daemon loads from the policy.
• End the reply when the user denies a tool request.

Fixed

• Open links in replies in the system browser.
• Keep comments and tool blocks in config.toml when Settings saves, and write the file as private.
• Reconnect to the database later when it is down at start.
• Flush the Daemon log after each line so the last line is not lost.
• Read a fetch URL the same way in the Daemon and the Worker, so an approval names the host that the fetch really uses. A fetch now stops after 30 seconds in total.
• Refuse to bind a socket that another Daemon answers on. Time out database connection attempts after 5 seconds.

Nook v0.1.4

Added

• Bundled the Nook daemon and Worker runtime in macOS, Ubuntu, and Windows installers.
• Kept nookctl available as an optional standalone CLI asset.

Fixed

• Verified packaged daemon and Worker files in all three platform installers.
• Fixed the native History selection test and added recovery for an incomplete macOS DMG build.
• Directed current-news requests through web search and preserved the native live and deterministic test gates.

PostgreSQL remains an external prerequisite.

Nook v0.1.3

Added

• Added Windows named-pipe IPC between the desktop Panel and daemon. The Panel and daemon keep the existing JSON-lines message protocol.
• Kept Unix domain sockets for macOS and Linux.
• Added a Windows integration test for named-pipe ping and a Windows Panel build check in CI.

Fixed

• Scoped the Windows named pipe to the current account SID and restricted its access control list to that account and SYSTEM.
• Recreated the pipe server after accept errors and added a short delay before retrying.

Limitations

• The Windows release package remains a preview. The release workflow does not yet bundle nookd.exe or the Python Worker runtime.
