v1.7.1

v1.7.1

The human collaboration + JEV release. The deck gains a gated collaboration
mode for anchoring notes and questions on the live page, and the browser MCP
gains an optional Just-Enough-View reading path for large pages.

Added

• Human–LLM collaboration (experimental, default off). Humans and agents
  share a thread on a page element instead of trading screenshots:
  • page-anchored notes and questions with a highlight overlay, inline add-note
    control, anchored drawer and composer;
  • an element picker and action toolbar over the live browser view;
  • a thread panel with agent replies, resolve and a concise note list;
  • notes stay anchored through document scroll, human notes preview in amber,
    and an unsaved draft survives a failed save.
• collaborate MCP tool: highlight, ask, read, list, reply and
  resolve over the collaboration store.
• Command Deck: the deck collapses to a free-floating orb with a radial petal
  menu, status lights and drag docking; themed menus and Escape-to-exit. The
  standalone NOTE petal retired — notes now live in collaboration.
• JEV (Just-Enough-View) page compaction. Optional, not experimental:
  • jev_index, read_section and search_page build a compact section index
    (headings, token weights, one-line digests) over an in-memory depth store;
  • a master switch plus prefer / enforce read modes, persisted to jev.json
    over IPC;
  • enforce refuses unscoped observe(as:"markdown"|"text") and GET /markdown
    with JEV_REQUIRED (HTTP 409); region-scoped, budgeted/cursor, full: true
    and pages under 1,500 tokens remain available;
  • a cheap precheck refuses oversized reads before the harvest (~15 ms), a
    60-second loop breaker serves the read after two refusals, and harvest
    errors fail open;
  • fold hints, a navigate nudge, GET /jev/stats, and GET /tools/config
    reporting jev: { available, mode }.
• Installable agent skills: hb-browser and hb-wrap, with Hermes and
  Skills CLI install commands.

Changed

• Settings layout: every tab now shares one centred 56rem pane (72rem
  for Tools/Wrappers), with reusable settings-grid rows and settings-card
  blocks. Helper text wraps instead of overflowing, and the scrollbar gutter
  keeps the pane position stable.
• Tool surface: 16 grouped tools — collaborate is the addition — plus
  drive / decide when a decision model is configured and the three JEV tools
  only when JEV is on. With JEV off the three schemas (~1k tokens) are not
  advertised at all.
• Documentation: new docs/JEV.md and docs/SETTINGS_LAYOUT.md, a README
  feature section, and both pages published in the GitHub Pages build. The
  hb-browser skill teaches jev_index → read_section; hb-wrap documents
  wrap_test dry-runs and the recipe limits that replace JEV on REST results.

Fixed

• Collaboration: the card Resolve control works; the picker returns its target
  over IPC; highlights and the composer stay anchored on scroll; the action menu
  renders above the browser view; Escape cancels note mode, the picker and element
  toolbar; a kept draft is offered after a failed save.
• JEV: the index reports the rendered index size rather than the page size.

Compatibility

• Collaboration is off by default and only appears after enabling it in
  Settings → EXPERIMENTAL. The collaborate tool is additive.
• JEV is off by default. A legacy { enabled: true } file migrates to
  power: true, mode: "prefer" — never silently to enforce.
• Settings storage, tool names and the bridge port are unchanged.
