Repo Canvas 0.14.0

Repo Canvas 0.14.0 stops repeated background verification and makes the first map view readable with area summaries and a step-by-step scenario view.

• Idempotent work records, persistent retry limits, shared model usage accounting and background quotas.
• History chapters preserve every original checkpoint; compact state updates arrive through SSE.
• Cached module cards, static imports, a structural map without a model, and resumable acceptance after factual verification.
• Semantic focus limits detailed routes; flow-based arrangement preserves manual positions and supports undo.
• Optional MCP tools and hooks share project intent, decisions and current work with agents.
• Smaller runtime dependencies, explicit global installation, a health page and signed release verification.

Validation: 204 unit tests and 24 integration checks, package installation and unsigned-update rollback on Windows, macOS and Linux. Real-browser checks include four scenarios, 36 transitions, desktop/mobile views, history, two tabs and undo. A bounded real model build also passed factual and readability checks.

The archive has GitHub build provenance. Updates require an authenticated GitHub CLI for verification; existing project history and manual coordinates are preserved.

Repo Canvas v0.12.0

Что изменилось

• Области стали мягкими смысловыми территориями, а вложенные подсистемы — прозрачными авторасширяемыми контурами вокруг своих нод.
• Один drag-контракт теперь работает для областей, подсистем, нод, людей и карточек работы. Резкий жест больше не теряет первый участок движения.
• Пустое место внутри любого контура двигает камеру; Libavoid одинаково перестраивает видимые связи всех уровней.
• Дальний план оставляет всю географию проекта на месте, но не тратит GPU на нечитаемый микротекст. Порог подсветки следует реальной читаемости.
• Сейчас показывает только свежую подтверждённую работу. Observer завершает брошенные карточки после 15 минут без публичного сигнала.
• Architect и Luna-reviewer получили более строгий owner-facing контракт: области отвечают за одну понятную ответственность, subsystem hierarchy не маскируется под новые области, key flow не подменяет карту.

Проверено

• 51 unit/integration тест;
• 200 Codex-сессий и 240 Claude/Kimi-сессий в stress-прогонах;
• Windows, macOS и Ubuntu CI;
• package smoke и self-update smoke на опубликованном .tgz;
• визуальный стресс-холст: 12 областей, 246 сущностей, быстрый drag/pan/zoom, light/dark, маршруты и подписи.

Repo Canvas v0.11.2

Windows update reliability

• Runtime directory promotion now retries transient EPERM, EACCES, and EBUSY locks for several seconds.
• This covers the real Windows antivirus/indexer lock reproduced while updating a production-sized local repository.
• Includes the v0.11.1 update-completion notice and persisted Architect status fixes.

Validation

• 48 automated tests
• packed-install and process-replacing self-update tests
• GitHub CI on Windows, macOS, and Linux
• live saas_piping failure reproduction with rollback verified before this fix

Repo Canvas v0.11.1

Fixed

• Update completion is now reported by the restarted runtime and the page shows the installed version once.
• Update-state file replacement retries short-lived Windows locks instead of leaving installation status stuck.
• Architect progress and its final result are persisted in .repo-canvas/architect-state.json.
• Refreshing the page or restarting Canvas no longer silently erases the last Architect result.
• If the server really interrupts an active Architect run, the UI now reports that interruption explicitly.

Validation

• 48 automated tests
• packed-install smoke test
• real process-replacing self-update test
• browser visual acceptance with no console errors or horizontal overflow
• GitHub CI on Windows, macOS, and Linux

Repo Canvas v0.11.0

What changed

• Observer and the independent acceptance reviewer now use gpt-5.6-luna with low reasoning.
• Architect keeps one isolated gpt-5.6-sol thread for the complete build-review-refine cycle and resumes it for every correction.
• Reviewer findings point to exact map IDs; Sol receives only the affected fragments, while a deterministic scope guard protects unrelated areas.
• Full failed-map regeneration was removed from acceptance, preventing repeated repository scans and avoidable subscription usage.
• Every Architect run records model calls, resumed thread IDs, durations, validation/review results, and exact token usage in .repo-canvas/architect-runs.jsonl.
• Architect completion and failure banners now show model call and token totals.

Validation

• 47 automated tests
• packed-install smoke test
• real self-update replacement test
• live two-turn Codex resume smoke using one thread
• visual browser acceptance
• GitHub CI on Windows, macOS, and Linux

Repo Canvas v0.10.1

Repo Canvas v0.10.1

• Fixes the Update button remaining on Installing… after the new runtime was already healthy.
• Polls update status every 750 ms only while installation is active.
• Treats the brief server disconnect during replacement as expected and reloads the page automatically when the new runtime responds.
• Adds regression coverage for active/idle polling and the applying-to-current completion transition.

Validated with 45 tests, packed-install smoke, real self-update process replacement, browser QA, and green Windows, macOS, and Linux CI.

Repo Canvas v0.10.0

Repo Canvas v0.10.0

• Builds maps around evidenced project responsibilities and validates them with a separate owner-readability review before applying.
• Adds circular human participants outside project areas, with directed relations showing their exact input, action, decision, expectation, or received result.
• Keeps people out of agent-work targets while preserving their role in the project story and relation routing.
• Makes Observer state compact and change-driven, with unique temporary files and bounded retries for transient Windows EPERM, EACCES, and EBUSY locks.
• Adds readability-review progress to the Canvas UI and covers the new contract with semantic, stress, package, updater, light-theme, and dark-theme checks.

Repo Canvas v0.9.1

Architect reliability update

• Added a persistent Architect status surface with phase, elapsed time, real activity heartbeat, repair attempt, success and exact failure states.
• Added deterministic validation for area membership, hierarchy, relation endpoints, removals, flow steps and owner-facing language.
• Preserved expensive repository inspection results and added bounded structural repair against an enum of allowed ids.
• Added owner-language enforcement and plain-domain wording checks while preserving product names, contracts and protocols.
• Isolated internal model calls from global/project AGENTS files, skills, memories, plugins, hooks and MCP servers while reusing subscription authentication without copying credentials into the project.
• Replaced the SDK child launcher with the official packaged Codex binary so Windows runs stay hidden; added native target coverage for Windows, macOS Intel/Apple Silicon and Linux.
• Prevented Observer from observing Repo Canvas's own private sessions.
• Fixed React Flow nodes becoming permanently hidden after an Architect or Observer snapshot update.

Validated on a live saas_piping repository: 8 areas, 46 entities and 72 relations, zero store errors and zero remaining mixed-language gate violations.

Repo Canvas v0.9.0

What changed

• Rebuilt the Canvas UI on React and React Flow, with ELK composition and Libavoid connector routing.
• Added a stable semantic project geography: areas, nested capabilities, concrete entities and attached live agent work.
• Added zoom-aware activity emphasis without rebuilding or hiding the project hierarchy.
• Added area-first live routing, obstacle-aware relation lanes, bundled-relation popovers and persistent readable labels.
• Added smooth camera movement, cursor-centred zoom, manual area/entity dragging, undo/redo, owner renaming and light/dark themes.
• Expanded Architect and Observer contracts for DDD-oriented maps, cross-project session filtering and Codex, Claude Code and Kimi Code activity.
• Replaced fragile tokenized browser links with a plain loopback URL backed by an HttpOnly SameSite session.
• Kept verified in-canvas self-update and packaged installation flows.

Install from GitHub

Repo Canvas v0.8.9

In-Canvas updates

• Update appears only when a newer official release exists.
• Release discovery is refreshed on page load and hourly, avoiding stale negative checks.
• The updater requires the GitHub SHA-256 digest, downloads the exact .tgz asset and disables npm lifecycle scripts.
• New runtimes install side-by-side in ignored .repo-canvas/runtime/; product dependencies, lockfiles and map data stay untouched.
• Canvas restarts itself with the same browser authorization and rolls back if installation or the new server health check fails.
• Runtime delegation and cleanup are verified on Windows, macOS and Linux.

Users on v0.8.5 install v0.8.9 once through the usual GitHub command. Future releases appear inside Canvas. Users on v0.8.6-v0.8.8 can update from the Canvas button.
