Vance Capture — browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari:
links jump into the web UI (link list + grabbed document), a second button
imports the displayed page itself, and one extension can serve multiple
targets. Store packages (AMO source archive, Safari project) build with a
single command.
Integration tokens — long-lived, narrowed credentials for foreign tools:
an scp profile plus a project pid pin per token; a token can carry
multiple profiles, and revocation checks the project pin against lost updates.
Web grab — POST /grab imports the page the browser shows as a document
(HTML to Markdown, no outgoing request).
Age encryption — age-encrypted documents where the server stores only
ciphertext and the key stays with the user: vance-age as the Java facade
(jagged), @vance/age as the TS wrapper, decrypt/edit/convert in Cortex,
decryption in the foot view (passphrase or identity file), and doc_encrypt
as an agent tool that checks the write gate before encrypting.
Benjy — iterative orchestration engine for small models: the task queue
is the state; safety nets measure progress and cost, not volume; a structural
item-charge cap; todos projection with todos-updated, journal records rendered
as markdown, and a delegation manual for spawning orchestrators.
Zaphod session mode — reactive council chat per user turn, with head
replies as interim notes, a pinned synthesis model, a philosophical-council
recipe, and a council category for all Zaphod recipes.
Shooty guard system — the completion guard becomes a guard system with
points: a START point in Ford (Trillian inherits Frankie's wiring) whose
guard can replace the turn prompt entirely.
Workbook forms and quizzes — vance-field block and a button action
registry; quiz UX with reset, resolve, and persistent score; free-text
answers graded by an internal form-judge LLM profile.
Report themes — per-customer CSS themes with a PDF export menu in
Cortex, a server-side theme-css endpoint, and a themed markdown preview
in the web UI.
Scheduled model discovery — opt-in via vance.ai-models.discovery.enabled;
captures model info and endpoint pricing, and writes prices as auto:true
manual docs (discovery and pricing stay source-separated).
AI configuration — provider instances configurable per endpoint, tlsInsecure sidecar flag for private-CA gateways, a default:chat alias
for chat surfaces, the ai_model_current tool, and creator support for
model-definition setup without operator detours.
File tools — If-Match guard: contentHash on file_read, expectedContentHash on file_edit/file_write.
Tools — defaults_list/defaults_read for bundled vance-defaults, location_get as a client tool (browser-native permission state), and doc_write in the analyze recipe.
Follow-up — optional FIM-completion path for the edit mode.
Cortex — menu mount points (View/Actions/Extras) and selection translate
for every text document.
Inbox — compose a message into a user's or team's inbox; finished items
return to the list.
Chat — composer card (centered single-line input, ¶ toggle, auto-grow)
and a skills tab in the right panel (list, active markers, play-to-composer).
Foot — /new and /ui-new start a session from the recipe picker.
Recipe picker — category grouping, a slim search field, and a projectKind
filter (Eddie only in hub pickers, project recipes only in project pickers).
UI theming — tenant-wide web-UI customization: custom CSS and a header logo.
Eddie — the working-project spot is visible to LLM and user (list marking
plus live push).
GTD — capture field with auto-focus, drag-sort within a bucket list, and
a trash bucket swept on rebuild instead of deleting on check-off.
Web UI — project memory per browser tab, and visibility levels (Run view
on, Store down).
qrcode kind — payload body rendered as a scannable QR symbol.
Setup agent mode — both anus setup wizards are headless-driveable via
YAML config, fail-closed.
Empty-response diagnostics — phantom tool call detection and reporting.
Marvin — bounded parse-error correction loop for phase outputs.
Creator — source analysis with version stamps, brain_info, and git_checkout commit/depth; BenjyArchitect for Slart authoring of Benjy
outer-recipes.
Facelift — Capacitor 8 toolchain, optional PIN lock, Play Store release
signing, real Android icons and splash, and i18n across the federation
boundary.
Build hygiene — ESLint in the client workspace (lint fails the build),
Spotless formatting for Java sources (palantir-java-format, ratcheted from
origin/main), and PMD static analysis with a curated ruleset, baseline, and
six adoption rounds.
Changed
"Vance" replaced by "Vancetope" in user-visible titles; license contact
email filled in (info@vancetope.com).
German strings swept out of the English surface (Workbook, Binder, and the
UI at large).
Arthur prompt: Slartibartfast only via manual, never a blind preset; the
DISCOVER trigger sharpened (known words as placement metaphers are
discovery cases).
Trillian: the recipe alias removed — void and adam stand side by side.
Fixed
Workbook: typing no longer vanishes on auto-save (silent quiet-window
probe), quiz action writes survive the self-write window, and the page list
becomes a drawer on phone width.
Brain: a worker-turn exception closes INCOMPLETE and wakes the parent;
deferred tools only via activate-first (direct calls on unlisted names die
on restricted endpoints); AiModelResolver resolves named provider
instances in the tenant default; modelAlias builds via provider instance
instead of wire name; AgeContentException returns 400 instead of 500 on PUT /content.
Usage: summary without $dateTrunc (MongoDB 4.4 compatibility), and one
failing report cut no longer blanks the tab.
Face: chat auto-scroll only when the user is reading at the end; the process
panel shows terminated processes by default; the plan-box closure notice
keeps the final list in the transcript; login no longer fails on iOS
auto-capitalization; the Compose dialog shows no stale error; block editor
empty document, save echo, and modal handle; the Cortex router writes the
address before the handoff reads it.
Voice: numbered lists spoken with ordinal connectors.
Facelift: /config.json verify routed through the main process (CORS), the
iOS generators no longer revert names and the speech key, and the adaptive
icon uses the real assets.
Benjy: journal state, wallclock phase, and empty-state guard.
Zaphod: silent session heads fixed.
Vogon: bundled intake/workflow examples follow the current schema.
Settings: the encrypted write path drops the description; only a
foot-backend registration counts as a CLIENT work target.
Capture: match patterns without ports, Safari loads module scripts, a
missing expiry reads "unknown" instead of "never", and an honest 401
message.
Web grab and project memory: five conversion review findings fixed, and
project-memory seeding runs in its own watcher.
