Full Changelog: v1.5.12...v1.5.13

Rook v1.5.12

Highlights

• Installer process-conflict handling (#237 / #240): upgrading Rook with a live agent session now shows a clear, plain-English dialog instead of a charmap traceback.
• Bundled Python runtime hardening: BOM-tolerant manifest read + BOM-less write (release-tooling fix), and a fail-closed wheelhouse staleness guard.

Known issues (targeted for 1.5.13)

• #247 — Grasshopper definitions do not auto-solve under Rhino.Inside.Revit (the GH document loads with Enabled=false, so the safe-solve policy defers recompute). Standalone Rhino is unaffected. Workaround: toggle the GH solver / force a recompute.
• #246 — gh_edit may return "GH callback request timed out" on the first solve of an LLM/Chirp cascade even though the edit fully succeeded (synchronous cross-boundary solve). The canvas is correct; re-snapshot to confirm.

Full Changelog: v1.5.9...v1.5.11

Rook v1.5.9

Rook v1.5.9

Installer release built from main commit 918778e.

Validation summary:

• Local standalone Rhino smoke passed with native ping pong and plugin version 1.5.9.
• Independent clean-laptop Revit/Rhino.Inside + Grasshopper validation passed through MCP and direct native HTTP.
• Grasshopper was ready for edit with 0 errors and 0 warnings.
• Chat service health passed.

Known caveat:

• A long-lived Codex MCP session had stale/unhealthy discovery, while a fresh Codex MCP session passed. This was treated as a session health issue, not a Rook 1.5.9 install/runtime failure.

Installer SHA256:
AB4EEC0C579B78F5BFAFF64F5C23B497A334632B96C919A07E880E92CCFD960C

Rook 1.5.8

Rook 1.5.8 release.

Validated release commit: 584b151

Installer SHA256:
841583BBB61258DFE8A5128EA143C42878FF3F1EF7459DE7C601010428379AFC

Highlights:

• Fixes installed runtime path bootstrap when Rook is launched directly from the installed venv without ROOK_* environment variables.
• Keeps bundled command knowledge authoritative over stale mutable command metadata for release safety.
• Fixes Rhino.Inside Revit native discovery publication and strict MCP target discovery.
• Refreshes bundled LGPL FFmpeg payload and publishes corresponding source bundle artifacts.

Validation:

• Release artifact validation passed for installer, smoke manifest, and release manifest.
• Same-version repair/overwrite from an older 1.5.8 candidate passed installed-runtime proof.
• Standalone Rhino 8 smoke passed: native autoload, discovery JSON, native ping, companion load, chat health, and basic RookChat.
• Rhino.Inside Revit 2024 smoke passed: Revit-hosted discovery JSON, native ping, fresh MCP default/explicit-port ping, bad-port requested_port_not_discovered, companion startup evidence, and chat health.

Upgrade note:
After installing or updating Rook, restart Codex/Claude so existing MCP sessions pick up the refreshed installed runtime and discovery behavior.
