BugNarrator 1.0.38

BugNarrator 1.0.38

Signed and notarized macOS release built from main commit 36bd7f1.

Highlights:

• Refreshed menu-bar AI setup state when the saved OpenAI credential changes, so Settings and the menu agree about a usable key.
• Blocked recording starts until AI transcription setup is usable, defaulted fresh installs to English transcription hints, and added transcript quality warnings for wrong-script output.
• Hardened the macOS CI Xcode selector for self-hosted runners.

Validation:

• PASS: ./scripts/validate.sh origin/main
• PASS: actionlint .github/workflows/ci.yml
• PASS: PR #413 CI and CodeQL checks
• PASS: signed/notarized DMG build with NOTARIZE=YES NOTARY_PROFILE=BugNarratorNotary
• PASS: stapler validation for app and DMG
• PASS: spctl accepted the app as Notarized Developer ID

BugNarrator 1.0.37

Fixes

• Refreshes the menu-bar AI setup state when saved OpenAI credential readiness changes, so Settings and the menu do not disagree about a usable key.
• Adds UI regression coverage proving a saved OpenAI key shows Settings as ready and keeps Validate/Remove actions enabled.

Validation

• Release smoke test passed.
• Developer ID signed with ABD Enterprises, Inc. (2R4WAH4R53).
• Apple notarization accepted and stapled for the app and DMG.
• Gatekeeper accepted the Release app as Notarized Developer ID.

Artifacts

• BugNarrator-macOS.dmg
• BugNarrator-v1.0.37-macOS.dmg
• SHA-256 checksum files for both DMGs

BugNarrator 1.0.36

What's New

• Hardened AI provider credential isolation so OpenAI, OpenAI-compatible, local-compatible, and Local (Parakeet) setup states do not reuse credentials saved for another provider.
• Clarified Local (Parakeet) setup as no-key-required and disabled automatic issue extraction for the transcription-only Parakeet provider.
• Fixed the local transcription server so HTTP 500 responses no longer expose exception details while full diagnostics remain in server logs.
• Cleared the docs-site ws dependency advisory and fixed the CI Xcode discovery lint issue.
• Includes the recent recording recovery, retry diagnostics, screenshot cancellation, canonical repo-link, progress cleanup, and audio artifact hardening from the 1.0.36 changelog.

BugNarrator 1.0.35

What's New

• Local transcription with Parakeet — transcribe recordings offline on Apple Silicon using NVIDIA's Parakeet model via MLX. No API key, no upload, no cost. Select "Local (Parakeet)" in Settings — the model auto-configures.
• Standalone transcription server — runs without Python installed. Build once with build_standalone.sh, run anywhere.
• Fixed Keychain modal in debug builds — ad-hoc signed builds no longer trigger a stuck password dialog.

Local Transcription Setup

brew install ffmpeg
cd local-transcription && ./setup.sh
./venv/bin/python server.py --preload

Then in BugNarrator Settings: Provider -> Local (Parakeet). Base URL and model auto-configure.

BugNarrator 1.0.34

1.0.34 - 2026-05-19

• Split the remaining AppState execution paths into dedicated recording, screenshot, transcription recovery, and session-library controllers so the release build is easier to reason about and maintain.
• Centralized AppState error normalization and typed event names so diagnostics and UI state transitions stay consistent across recording, recovery, and export flows.
• Added release-signing hardening carried forward from the local packaging pipeline so the shipped DMG remains notarized, stapled, and aligned with the current source version.

BugNarrator 1.0.33

What's New

• Fixed "BugNarrator is damaged" Gatekeeper alert — the notarization ticket is now stapled to the .app bundle inside the DMG, so the app passes Gatekeeper even offline or when Apple's online check times out.
• Added concurrent retry guard to prevent duplicate transcription retry attempts from compounding failures.
• Added retry attempt counting to preserved sessions with escalating user guidance after repeated failures.
• Added exponential backoff with Retry-After header support for OpenAI 429 rate-limit responses.

BugNarrator 1.0.31

• Hardened recording startup so duplicate start actions while a draft is already active restore the active recording state instead of failing or discarding in-progress artifacts.
• Scoped the active recording banner in the Session Library to the active draft session only, so unrelated saved sessions no longer show the current recording at the top.
• Moved live recorder output into BugNarrator's recoverable recordings directory and allowed oversized source recordings to transcribe through validated chunks, improving resilience for long sessions.

BugNarrator 1.0.30

• Added deterministic local UI regression coverage for Settings, Session Library issue export, and Recording Controls so token fields, export buttons, per-issue tracker targets, and recording controls are exercised without touching production Keychain, microphone, GitHub, Jira, or OpenAI services.
• Hardened UI accessibility targets for the main app dialogs with stable scroll-region labels and protected those labels in the accessibility regression check.
• Routed extracted issues to GitHub and Jira using per-issue repository, project, issue-type, and label targets from the Session Library, with local regression coverage for grouped GitHub and Jira exports.
• Improved Settings setup guidance with explicit OpenAI, GitHub, and Jira readiness status rows and clearer credential prerequisites.

BugNarrator 1.0.29

BugNarrator 1.0.29

• Restores the Open BugNarrator at Startup control when macOS reports the login item is not registered yet.
• Adds isolated local Settings UI regression coverage for startup and GitHub/Jira token fields.

Validation:

• Local release smoke test passed, including Settings UI tests with ad-hoc local signing.
• Runtime guardrails passed.
• Signed with Developer ID Application: ABD Enterprises, Inc. (2R4WAH4R53).
• Notarization accepted and DMG stapling validated.
