v0.6.4

Fixed

• launch_with_bridge no longer returns prematurely when ping() returns
  {"error": "timeout_waiting_for_main_thread"}. On Windows or during heavy asset
  loading / script compilation, Ren'Py can take 30–40s before periodic_callbacks
  starts draining on the main thread. Previously client.ping() returned the dict without
  raising, causing launcher.py to declare the session ready prematurely while the
  game was still in init python. Subsequent MCP tool calls then timed out or failed.
  launch_with_bridge now strictly verifies reply.get("pong") is True and retries
  until Ren'Py reaches its main interaction loop, with default startup_timeout
  increased from 60s to 90s.

v0.6.3

Fixed

• Bridge listener no longer dies with NameError: name 'socket' is not defined after renpy.reload_script(). The listener thread survives a
  script reload, but the reload wipes the Ren'Py store — the __globals__
  of init python: functions — so the bare except socket.timeout: in the
  accept loop raised NameError on the next 0.5s timeout and silently
  killed the thread. The game kept running with a dead bridge until the
  process was eventually closed. The listener and its helpers now use
  function-local imports (read from sys.modules, which reload never
  touches), and the accept loop also tolerates non-timeout OSError.

v0.6.2

Fixed

• Ren'Py 8.5 support: read button/choice labels via _tts_all(raw=False)
  (8.5 made raw required; the old no-arg call failed open and blanked every
  control label, breaking choice selection and autopilot).
• Repair Ren'Py 8.5 --json-dump label emission when discovering/installing an
  SDK: unwrap Node-keyed script.namemap entries that upstream dump.py still
  filters with isinstance(name, str).

Changed

• Default pinned Ren'Py SDK is now 8.5.3 (was 8.3.7).

v0.6.1

Changed

• Public-launch polish: install-first README with light/dark dashboard
  screenshots, architecture and client-config details moved to docs/,
  English-only dashboard labels.
• Published to the official MCP Registry (io.github.alex-jordan547/renforge):
  server.json manifest and PyPI ownership marker.

v0.6.0

Added

• Compact live-state profiles (minimal / interaction / debug / full) with
  serialization limits on renforge_wait_until and renforge_game_state_compact.
• renforge_launch strategies: display=auto, audio=auto, structured launch
  errors (code / phase / suggested_fix), and savedir=temporary isolation.
• renforge_hit_test for interactive focus-stack inspection; UI elements now
  report action, zorder, covered, clickable, and logical coordinates.
• renforge_run_scenario to batch set/click/wait/assert steps with automatic
  failure diagnostics.
• Structured business events (quick_save.completed, quick_load.completed,
  skip.started/skip.stopped, auto.changed/auto.advanced,
  rollback.completed) with correlation_id / interaction_id.
• wait_for_effect on renforge_control and renforge_click_element to block
  until the matching business event is observed.

Changed

• renforge_wait_until returns a compact interaction-profile state by default
  and a structured matched object (type + value).
• Clicks report the element that actually received the event (received_by)
  when another control covers the target.
• Bridge poll_events entries include timestamp and optional
  correlation_id for attribution.

Fixed

• Translation estimation discards pixels shifted outside the search region
  instead of wrapping them around the opposite edge.
• Live save/load verification now enforces the documented restored_label
  response contract.

v0.5.0

Added

• Added renforge_hover_element to move the pointer over visible controls
  without clicking, with stale-frame protection.
• Added renforge_capture_screenshot for reusable named PNG captures and
  renforge_estimate_translation for measuring visual movement between them.
• Added renforge_get_ui_element_bounds to report focus bounds and the
  alpha-painted bounds of the active ImageButton state.

Changed

• ImageButton hover now dispatches Ren'Py's focus mouse handler before
  restarting the interaction, so hover state updates reliably without a player
  interaction loop.

v0.4.1

Added

• renforge_info/renforge_context now resolve active_project without the
  dashboard: they fall back to the serve --project default, then to a Ren'Py
  project auto-detected from the current directory, and report the winning
  source in a new project_source field. When nothing matches, the payload
  carries an explicit hint so agents pass project_path directly instead of
  stalling.

Changed

• renforge_screenshot accepts a single width or height and derives the
  other dimension from the game's aspect ratio (previously both were required
  together).

v0.4.0 — GOD mode runtime tooling

GOD mode runtime tooling — grouped runtime control, live iteration, and crash diagnostics.

Added

• Grouped runtime controls through renforge_control: hot script reload, rollback, quicksave/quickload, skip, auto-forward, and menu actions.
• Named save slots with renforge_saves, and grouped text, key, and scroll input with renforge_send_input.
• renforge_get_errors for recent bridge exceptions and bounded crash-file diagnostics, plus renforge_wait_until for bounded label, screen, or expression waits.
• renforge_inspect_screen for active screen scope and argument introspection.

Changed

• renforge_game_state gains opt-in include=["metrics", "audio"] sections while preserving its default response shape.
• Expanded README and MCP reference with the complete edit, hot-reload, save, branch, and diagnostics workflow.

PyPI: pip install renforge==0.4.0

v0.3.0 — pixel-perfect placement tools

Pixel-perfect placement and visual iteration tools.

Added

• Pixel-perfect screenshot capture, displayable measurement, live positioning, and screenshot-diff tools: renforge_get_displayable_bounds, renforge_position_element, renforge_screenshot grid/rulers/crosshair overlays, and renforge_diff_screenshots.

PyPI: pip install renforge==0.3.0

v0.2.0 — onboarding & cross-platform hardening

Onboarding, packaging, and cross-platform hardening.

Changed

• fastmcp is now a default dependency; MCP onboarding no longer needs --project in configs.
• README onboarding overhaul; multi-OS CI (Ubuntu / Windows / macOS).

Fixed

• Windows fixes: process termination, scanner backslash paths, SDK temp-file locking, and renpy.exe preference.
• UI project-picker performance and native Windows drive handling.
