ArcVellum v0.7.0

ArcVellum v0.7.0 turns the autonomous literary-engineering beta into a place where a creator can also read, understand and accompany a growing long-form work.

Highlights

  • Complete formal-manuscript reader with chapter and continuous modes, lazy loading, search, bookmarks, typography controls, themes, fullscreen and persisted reading position.
  • Reader Manifest v1 with deterministic order, source precedence, coverage deduplication and clean-body projection.
  • Five built-in advisor personas, custom persona editing and a layered prompt contract that cannot widen advisor permissions.
  • Persistent proactive advisor inbox with trigger policy, deduplication, severity modes, quiet hours and safe suggested actions.
  • Narrative Observatory v1 for real scene, branch, character, Canon, reader-question and promise/payoff evidence.
  • Book, chapter and scene-level aggregation with accessible list fallback and reduced-motion support.
  • Windows hidden-process execution, cached Runner probes, deferred provider loading and a single-document Tauri startup bridge.
  • Default local work library at Documents/ArcVellum/Works, with user-selectable future project location.
  • Repository and update identity migrated to o-1717986918/arcvellum while preserving the installed application identifier and data location.

Reader Contract

Only formal promoted or exported prose enters the Reader. Candidate drafts, Agent tasks, review reports, state patches and Canon annotations remain outside the reading surface. Exported chapter coverage replaces its underlying promoted scenes; chapters without trustworthy coverage do not hide scene prose.

The manifest contains metadata and per-unit endpoints rather than the full book body. A 100-chapter, 500,000-Chinese-character fixture is covered by automated regression tests.

Advisor Contract

Persona changes affect language, attention and conversational stance only. The advisor remains a read-only consumer of project projections and can suggest only whitelisted actions. Proactive notices are deterministic projections of workflow events; they are persisted, deduplicated and subject to the user's notification mode and quiet hours.

Observatory Contract

Every displayed node and edge is derived from formal project facts or workflow state. Animation communicates real progression and never becomes a second source of truth. Large works default to aggregation, while keyboard-accessible list views preserve the same information without motion or SVG interaction.

Upgrade Notes

  • Existing projects are not moved. The default works location applies to new projects unless changed by the user.
  • The configuration schema is migrated in place and backed up by the existing application migration path.
  • The Tauri identifier remains cn.literary-engineering.studio, so application data and update continuity are preserved.
  • Model provider catalogs now load when the connection page is opened or explicitly refreshed.

Known Boundaries

  • This release is Windows x64 Beta software.
  • Model inference requires network access and a valid provider configured through the bundled Agent Runner.
  • Updater artifacts use the existing Tauri minisign chain; Windows Authenticode commercial signing is not included.
  • Clean Windows 10/11 virtual-machine install, uninstall and long-running real-model projects remain v1.0 evidence goals.
