v0.1.2

Added

• Ollama integration — test connection and list models from Settings; default model smallthinker
• Focus monitor bundling — chronicle-focus-monitor shipped beside the daemon in app releases

Changed

• macOS focus capture — daemon runs the focus monitor via launchctl asuser (no longer depends on the UI relay)
• AI summaries — stronger anti-reasoning prompt and post-processing for chain-of-thought models

Fixed

• Span detail 404 — GetSpan resolves active in-memory spans, not only closed rows in SQLite
• Safari / window titles — Accessibility window titles and tab sessions recorded again
• Delete summary — stable daily session IDs; delete no longer fails on stale IDs
• Sessions UI — safer delete handling and summarize error surfacing
• MCP summarize — handle ai_error in daily summary responses

v0.1.1

Added

• Persisted summary source — daily rollups store ai vs rules on session rows; Sessions UI shows badges after reload
• Auto daily rollups — configurable local hour in Settings; daemon generates today's summary when missing
• Enrichment backfill — daemon fills report_line and activity labels on existing events at startup
• Timeline cleanup — Settings action to prune low-signal git and shell noise from existing databases
• Delete summaries — remove individual daily rollups from Sessions
• Window/tab tracking — window.focus events when the front window title changes within the same app (Safari tabs, Finder windows, etc.)
• Native macOS focus capture — NSWorkspace + Accessibility/CGWindow helper; GUI-session relay from Chronicle.app
• Tab sessions — per-window identity across IDEs, browsers, Finder, and terminals (dirty markers and spinner noise stripped)
• Settings — unified save for AI, collectors, privacy, and watch directories; Tauri v2 camelCase config IPC
• Timeline purge — reset capture events from Settings without deleting daily summaries

Changed

• Git first-run — bootstrap cursors only (no historical backfill flood on fresh install)
• UI — 24-hour clock; hide inactive timeline sessions and empty daily rollups; stop tagging every app switch with a generic "focus" label
• Summaries — rule-based rollups rank top projects by focus time, drop generic git themes, cap displayed hours, and surface build/test failures only (not git push noise)
• Homebrew — cask checksums auto-updated on release

Fixed

• Project path layout overflow; Timeline nav default highlight; session active indicators after restart
• CI rustfmt and clippy failures
• Activity feed empty while sessions showed focus events (activity_label without tab_session_key)
• set_config invalid args error in Settings (camelCase IPC)

v0.1.0

First public release — local developer observability for macOS.

Added

• Desktop app — Tauri v2 + Svelte 5 UI with Timeline, Projects, Sessions, Errors, Search, and Settings
• Background daemon — chronicle-daemon with Unix-socket IPC (~/.chronicle/chronicle.sock) and SQLite store (~/.chronicle/chronicle.db)
• Collectors — window focus, filesystem (FSEvents), git reflogs, shell hook (UDP), HTTP ingress, IDE/browser extensions
• Git capture — poll all .git/logs/** every 20s, 72h backfill on first sight, persisted cursors, real reflog timestamps; supports commits, pushes, pulls, fetches, merges, rebases, checkouts
• Projects — auto-discovery from watch dirs and events, sorted by last activity
• Sessions & summaries — rule-based daily rollups; optional AI summaries via Ollama/API in Settings
• Activity labels — deterministic rule engine for shell, git, IDE, and browser events (report_line, intent, tool, outcome metadata)
• Search — keyword search over events; semantic expansion hook for AI-assisted queries
• Privacy — collector toggles, domain allowlist, retention prune, shell secret redaction, noise filtering
• MCP server — chronicle-mcp tools for timeline, search, sessions, summarize, project context
• Plugins — manifest discovery under ~/.chronicle/plugins/
• Standard-user setup — per-user LaunchAgent, bundled daemon sidecar, auto-start on app launch (no admin password)
• CI — Rust fmt/clippy/test on Ubuntu and macOS; frontend typecheck and build
• Release — signed + notarized GitHub Release DMGs (Developer ID); unsigned fallback when MACOS_SIGNING_ENABLED is off (docs/07-release-macos.md)
• Docs — five-part architecture series, capture pipeline, clients, plugins, external integrations
• Homebrew cask — Casks/chronicle.rb (DMG-based tap install)

Changed

• Socket and store defaults moved from /tmp to ~/.chronicle/
• Window focus uses lsappinfo instead of AppleScript (no Accessibility prompt)
• Dev builds (tauri dev) spawn the daemon directly instead of fighting launchd
• Monorepo git repos (e.g. autonomic-ai-dev/agent-brain) discovered up to depth 8
• Daily summary sessions use generation time for ordering; same-day rollups replaced on regenerate

Fixed

• Git pushes and pulls missed when daemon was offline or FSEvents did not fire inside .git/
• Project list stale ordering (last_active now uses event timestamps with MAX)
• Summarize today wrong timezone and noisy shell failures in highlights
• tauri dev launchctl bootstrap I/O errors from KeepAlive vs singleton lock conflicts
• Sessions summarize IPC when daemon lacked summarize_day
• Linux CI failures for window-focus parser tests and clippy dead-code warnings
