v0.1.6
What Changed
This release repositions NEXUS as a unified AI toolkit layer — one config for every AI CLI you use — and ships foundational features for the v0.2.0 observability milestone.
New Features
- TUI: Task Log screen — view MCP tool invocations with model, latency, and pass/fail status. Access from the main menu → Task Log.
- TUI: GPU auto-detection — Health Check now detects your GPU (NVIDIA, AMD, Apple Silicon) and recommends the right model band for your hardware.
- MCP: Fast-path routing — commit messages for trivial diffs (renames, version bumps, lock files, deletions) are generated instantly without calling Ollama.
- MCP: Structured output — commit message generation uses Ollama's native JSON schema support for more reliable output.
- MCP: Task logging — all tool invocations are logged to
~/.config/nexus/logs/mcp-tasks.jsonlwith timing and status data. - Onboarding Guide persona — new persona that walks users through hardware detection, model selection, and setup verification. See
personas/onboarding-guide.md.
Documentation
- README rewritten — subtitle, Philosophy, and "What NEXUS Does" sections reframed around config unification and subtraction-first messaging.
- Cloud Billing Guide — new guide explaining cost optimization through local model routing, with links to official API pricing pages. See
docs/cloud-billing-guide.md.
Fixes
- Close HTTP response body in health check (connection leak)
- Handle Intel Macs in Apple Silicon detection (no false positives)
- Handle multi-GPU NVIDIA systems (parse first GPU, split by last comma)
- Truncate long tool/model names in Task Log to preserve column alignment
- Safe
.envupdate in onboarding persona (no destructive overwrite) - Secure-by-default Ollama install recommendation (inspect-first)
Infrastructure
- CI parallelized —
test-install-cycleno longer waits forbuild-and-test, cutting wall-clock CI time roughly in half. - macOS added to CI build and install test matrix (v0.1.5).
- Windows binaries removed from releases until #18 ships.
Hardware Benchmarks
- ⏳ Low tier — pending
- ⏳ Mid tier — pending
- ⏳ High tier — pending
Benchmark infrastructure is tracked in #75. Results will be added to these notes as they become available.
