v2.3.0

Released: 2026-10-25

Added

• Restored conversations show the archive creator's origin and view in search, detail and locate output, with optional archive_provenance in JSON and MCP. Labels are creator-supplied; restore older imports again to add them. (#1134, #1123)
• ctx archive export selects conversations by --workspace, --since and --until. Use --preview to inspect the selection without writing an archive. (#1138, #1122)
• ctx daemon status --all lists registered data roots and daemon state as text or JSON. (#1137, #1124)

Changed

• Upgrade dependencies affected by security advisories, including Tantivy 0.27, lru, the TLS stack and ZIP handling; replace retired YAML dependencies with yaml_serde. Existing YAML records and 2.2.8 search indexes remain usable. (#1131)

Fixed

• Avoid repeatedly reading unchanged Codex history when new sessions appear during ongoing appends. (#1130, #1119)

• Stop idle daemon CPU loops after refresh admission failures while allowing later scheduled refreshes. (#1132, #1125)

• Recover search from invalid retention holds, correct macOS file-identity checks, and report the actual read-lock error. ctx doctor --repair verifies history and preserves invalid hold files in quarantine. (#1133, #1121)

• Keep other Codex sessions refreshing when one rollout is oversized or a transcript symlink is refused, preserving previously indexed content. Sources paused by an earlier internal failure retry after upgrading. (#1135, #1126)

• Explain on stderr when a search against a separate --data-root starts a persistent indexer, including how to switch that root to manual indexing. (#1137, #1124)
