v0.11.0

This release introduces Recipes — a one-click way to turn your hardware into a working Home Assistant setup — and brings full multi-language support across the backend, panel, and conversational AI. It also adds anonymous opt-in telemetry, local usage metrics, and a long list of chat-reliability fixes.

✨ Highlights

🍳 Recipes — turn your hardware into a working home

A new Recipes tab and install flow lets users browse a public catalog hosted on selorahomes.com and install vetted, end-to-end packages in one click. A recipe is more than a bunch of automations — it ties your hardware to a complete Home Assistant setup:

• Device roles — a recipe declares the roles it needs (e.g. bedroom lights, door locks, a thermostat) and the install wizard maps your actual devices onto them, with min/max counts and required/optional selection.
• Configurable inputs — recipes expose tunable parameters (bedtime, dim duration, night temperature, notification style, …) so the same package adapts to each home.
• Full HA wiring — once devices and inputs are resolved, the recipe renders and writes the automations, scenes, and dashboards that make those devices work together as one routine.
• Hardened, sandboxed rendering — recipe templates are treated as untrusted input. Jinja rendering runs in a SandboxedEnvironment, remote fetches require TLS for public hosts, and redirect hops are validated on fetch to prevent SSRF-style abuse.

⚠️ Limitation: Recipes are currently English-only.

🌍 Internationalization (i18n)

Selora AI now speaks your language — across the config flow, panel UI, entity filtering, and conversational replies.

• 13 locales shipped: en, fr, de, es, it, nl, hu, pt, ru, ja, ko, zh-Hans, zh-Hant.
• Conversational reply language is detected per message (falling back to panel locale, then HA config language), driving both the LLM directive and deterministic command confirmations — a French command on an English UI gets a French confirmation.
• Multilingual entity resolution + lexical ranking — "which lights are on?" / "quelles lumières sont allumées?" resolve to the correct entities with Unicode-aware tokenization and ranked matching.
• Deterministic status answers — the cloud path computes the exact matching entity set/count from live state and constrains the LLM, fixing wrong counts and EN/FR set drift.

⚠️ Limitation: Selora AI Local has not yet been trained on multi-language data — multilingual conversation currently applies to the cloud providers.

📊 Telemetry & Usage

• Anonymous, opt-in PostHog telemetry (off by default) — counter/enum/version-only payloads, no PII, with a one-time consent banner and a Settings toggle.
• usage_activity event — anonymous period deltas of how the install is used.
• Local Selora Cloud usage metrics — token/call usage recorded locally (never leaves the network), separate from telemetry.

💬 Chat & Reliability

• Per-message action toolbar in chat (copy, etc.), with hover actions no longer shifting layout.
• Cloud + multi-provider reliability improvements, including reliable chat with weaker gateway models.
• Commit a final answer when the tool loop is exhausted (no more silent dead-ends).
• Resolve device triggers so button automations complete.
• Decode percent-encoded YAML pasted into chat.
• Click to expand truncated suggestion card title/subtitle.

🐛 Other Fixes

• Surface device manufacturer/model in entity context for better LLM grounding.
• Repair silent play_media announcements to tts.speak.
• Catch provider ConnectionError in the collector.
• Reduce recorder attribute spam and chat-stream errors.
• Protect code fences from tile-marker substitution.
