oneloop 0.1.0-rc.6

The sixth release candidate. It adds task checklists, shows descriptions as
formatted Markdown, keeps the project and the Board's filters in the address,
and puts moved and new tasks at the top of their column. It also makes the web
app faster on slow networks and fixes many bugs. Read the upgrade notes before
you upgrade; if you upgrade from 0.1.0-rc.4, read those of 0.1.0-rc.5 too.

Upgrade notes

• Stop oneloop, install the new version, and run
  oneloop db migrate --backup-dir <directory>. It saves a backup first, then
  upgrades the database from schema 6, which 0.1.0-rc.4 and 0.1.0-rc.5 use,
  to schema 8. Older versions refuse a schema 8 database. To go back to one,
  restore the backup that db migrate made.
• If you upgrade from 0.1.0-rc.4, also follow the upgrade notes of
  0.1.0-rc.5: Knowledge folders have size limits now, and some MCP errors and
  read_pool cursors changed.
• Browser tabs that are open during the upgrade still run the old version.
  They show oneloop was updated, but reload by themselves only where
  Reload after updates was on, so ask people to reload them. From this
  version on, every tab reloads by itself at a safe moment, and the setting is
  gone from the account menu.
• The addresses of the Board, the Roadmap, Knowledge and
  Settings now name the project, and the Board's address holds its
  filters. Older bookmarks and links still work: they open the project you
  last switched to in that browser, or else your first project. Links to a
  task don't change.
• In MCP, task.move without position, beforeTaskId or afterTaskId now
  puts the task at the top of its new column, and new tasks, also from
  pool.promote, start at the top of Planning. Before, most went to the
  bottom. Pass a place to put a task anywhere else. A task's position in
  reads can now be below zero; use it only to order a column.
• In MCP, read_activity with a task that doesn't exist now fails with
  not_found. Before, it returned an empty page.
• AI assistants that are already connected don't need to connect again. The
  new checklist operations need Create and manage tasks and Pool items, and
  task.checklist.delete also needs delete access, as task.delete does.

Added

• A task's description now shows as formatted Markdown, as people and AI
  assistants write it: headings, lists, tables, code and more. Task keys of
  your projects, such as WEB-042, link to their tasks. Click the text, or
  choose Edit, to change it; leaving the field, Esc or Ctrl+Enter
  (Cmd+Enter on macOS) saves it and shows it formatted again. An epic's
  description shows formatted too.
• Ctrl+S (Cmd+S on macOS) now saves the field you are typing in at once and
  keeps you there. In a dialog, or while you edit a comment, it does what the
  main button does. It never sends a new comment, and it no longer downloads
  the page.
• In MCP, create_attachment_upload can replace a file that you uploaded:
  pass its ID as replacesAttachmentId. When the upload completes, the new
  file takes the old one's place, and the old one is deleted as
  delete_attachment deletes it. This needs no destructive access, so an
  assistant can update its own documents without asking you to delete the old
  version. If the upload fails, the old file stays.
• Tasks have a Checklist: short steps that you add, tick, rename, move and
  remove on the task's page. A Board card shows how many steps are done, such
  as 2/5, in green once all are. In MCP, task.create takes the steps in
  checklist, read_task returns them, search_tasks and read_epic count
  them, and task.checklist.add, task.checklist.update,
  task.checklist.move and task.checklist.delete change them.

Changed

• oneloop now compresses the web app's files with gzip, so a first visit
  downloads about 60% less and the app opens faster on slow networks. A
  reverse proxy no longer needs to compress them, and the nginx example no
  longer does.
• The app asks for all of its start-up scripts at once, instead of one level
  of imports at a time, so it opens faster on slow networks.
• The app reads your workspace while it checks your session, instead of
  after, so every visit opens one round trip sooner.
• When a Board tab shows again, reconnects, or hears of a change to an epic,
  track, milestone or member, it now reads the Board once instead of twice.
• A tab no longer checks your access every 30 seconds while it is hidden or
  gets live updates. Live updates already report lost access, and a hidden
  tab refreshes when it shows again.
• The web app does less work on slow computers and phones. Turning off a
  Board filter or emptying the search no longer draws the whole page again,
  so the cards move smoothly into place. A change to one card, a drop or a
  filter no longer redraws every loaded card, and dragging a card is
  smoother. Opening a task draws its page two times instead of three, and a
  change from another tab to the open task reads its comments and activity
  once instead of twice.
• A Board search, a Board filter or a project switch that takes more than a
  moment now dims the page until the result arrives. Before, a slow search
  looked as if nothing happened.
• The Board, its counts and, in MCP, search_tasks without a status no
  longer slow down on an instance with many tasks where no task was ever
  blocked. Before, counting the blocked tasks could read every task of the
  instance, which took tens of milliseconds at 100,000 tasks.
• An open connection, such as the one each browser tab keeps for live
  updates, now uses about 20 KB of server memory. Before, each one kept its
  own copy of the routes, about 300 KB, so 100 open tabs took 30 MB.
• After many writes in a short time, such as an import through MCP, the first
  write a day later no longer holds up all other writes while it removes the
  expired retry keys. Database maintenance now removes them, a batch at a
  time. Before, 50,000 expired keys held up writes for a few hundred
  milliseconds.
• Uploads, and the storage check that runs every minute, now count stored
  files and unfinished uploads but not image thumbnails, so they no longer
  slow down as an instance collects images. Thumbnails go when files and
  unfinished uploads reach 80% of the storage limit. Clean up now still
  counts them, as the Storage page does.
• oneloop now looks for files that nothing refers to, such as files that a
  crash left behind, once an hour instead of every minute.
• Image thumbnails, and files and avatars that the browser already has, no
  longer wait for other changes to finish, such as a Knowledge sync. An
  attachment's lastAccessedAt now changes only while the attachment is
  temporary, and the 24 hours of a temporary attachment start again when
  someone marks it temporary.
• Large Knowledge files download faster.
• The address now names the project on the Board, the Roadmap,
  Knowledge and Settings, and the Board's address also holds its
  filters and search. A refresh, a bookmark or a link opens the same project
  and filters, switching projects is a step in the browser's history, and
  Back leaves the Board instead of undoing filters. An address without a
  project, such as an older bookmark, opens the project you last switched to in
  this browser. Signing out clears the project and filters from the tab's
  address, so the next person to sign in there starts from their own. Before, a
  refresh opened the first project by name and lost the filters.
• Every open tab now reloads by itself after an upgrade, when nothing you typed
  would be lost, nothing such as a dialog, a menu or an Undo offer is open,
  and the tab is hidden or unused for five minutes. Reload after updates is
  gone from the account menu. The bar says that the page reloads by itself and
  offers Reload now, and after such a reload the page says "oneloop was
  updated".
• Markdown previews and the Knowledge base now load the math renderer, about
  80 KB, only for text with math. Before, any $, such as in a price or a
  shell variable, loaded it.
• A task that changes status without a place now goes to the top of its new
  column, Done too: with Move to, the task's Status, Unblock and
  complete, or task.move in MCP without position, beforeTaskId or
  afterTaskId. New tasks, also ones made from a Pool idea, start at the top
  of Planning. Before, most of these went to the bottom, where a long
  column hid them until Load more, and Done mixed both orders. A drag,
  Move up and Move down still put a task exactly there, and
  Newest first still lists Done by completion time. A task at the top
  takes a position above the first one, which leaves the other tasks where
  they are, so a task's position in MCP reads can be below zero. Undo
  puts a deleted task back at the same place in its column, also when a new
  task took its place; before, it went to the end.
• In MCP, every tool that names a task now also accepts its key, such as
  WEB-042: read_comments, read_activity, discussion.comment.create,
  task.delete and every other task.* operation, also in beforeTaskId and
  afterTaskId. Moving a blocked task to Done now fails with a message that
  names task.unblock-and-complete, and set_attachment_temporary is marked
  as safe to repeat.
• Newest first is now a small sort button at the top of Done, so
  Done's header is as tall as the others and its cards line up with theirs.
  The button shows your choice at once, and the page dims while a slow Board
  read loads the new order.

Fixed

• In MCP, read_activity with a task key, or with a task that doesn't exist,
  returned an empty page. It now returns the task's activity, or fails with
  not_found.
• A Mermaid diagram in a Markdown preview no longer fails when its renderer
  takes more than 30 seconds to download, as on a slow mobile connection.
  When the renderer can't load, the preview now says to check the
  connection, instead of blaming the diagram's syntax.
• Long comments on a task page no longer fold to nothing and grow back when
  the page draws again, such as after a change from another tab or a saved
  field. The page also stays at the comment you were reading. Before, it
  could jump away by several comments.
• The Board now shows its loading placeholder while its cards load, when you
  open it from another page, such as the Roadmap or a task you opened from a
  link. Before, it said "No tasks yet" and offered Create task, or showed
  only that task, until the cards arrived.
• Closing a file preview now gives focus back to the file name that opened
  it, also when the task's attachments changed while the preview showed.
  Before, keyboard users landed at the top of the page.
• When several sign-in limits apply at once, "Try again in …" and the
  Retry-After header now give the longest wait. Before, they could give a
  shorter one, and the next attempt was refused again.
• After oneloop could not be reached for a while, a tab without live updates,
  such as one whose updates a newer tab took over, again checks every 30
  seconds that you still have access. Before, it stopped checking until you
  reloaded the page or signed in again, so it didn't notice when you lost
  access to a project.
• A task page no longer stays at "Loading activity…" when the task loads
  faster than its comments, as could happen when you opened it from the
  Board. Before, the comments and activity appeared only when something
  else drew the page again.
• Creating a task, deleting one or undoing that, and turning a Pool item into
  a task no longer empty the Board in a project that isn't the first by
  name. Before, the Board said "No tasks yet" until something else loaded it
  again. The new card also shows one request sooner.
• After you follow a link into another project, such as a Knowledge link,
  its Board shows the project's cards. Before, it said "No tasks yet",
  because the first project's tracks and epics stayed loaded.
• The account menu shows only the version, such as v0.1.0-rc.6. Before, it
  also showed the commit the build came from, which made the menu scroll
  sideways in release images. /healthz and oneloop --version still give
  the commit.
• After Load more on the Board, typing in the search and erasing it
  quickly, or turning a filter on and off before its cards arrive, keeps every
  loaded card in view. Before, each column fell back to its first 50 cards with
  no Load more, while its count still showed more.
• A link to a oneloop page in a Markdown preview or a Knowledge file, such as
  [the task](#/task/WEB-042) or the page's full address, now opens that
  page. Before, it went nowhere.
• Code blocks in the Knowledge base now have a visible background in the dark
  theme. Before, it matched the page.
• When someone else changes the open task, such as a teammate, another tab or
  an AI assistant, its status in the page header and in Status, its title
  and its description now show at once, also while you type in another of its
  fields. Before, they changed only after you left the task's fields.
• Opening a Markdown file with a very long run of backticks (`) or
  tildes (~) no longer freezes the tab. Before, such a 200 KB file could
  freeze it for more than a minute.
• A click on a task's file, or on browse files, now works also while the
  task changes, such as right after you edit one of its fields. Before, the
  change drew the files again under the pointer, and the click did nothing.
• After you move a file with the arrow keys, focus now stays on it, so you
  can move it again. Before, it fell to the page once oneloop saved the new
  order.
• When you turn Newest first on or off in one tab, the browser's other
  Board tabs keep showing live changes, in the order they show, and use
  the new choice when they load again. Before, they stopped showing changes
  until they read the Board again.
