🟢 Electra Finance Center — Full GUI Application
• New /finance command launches a standalone PyQt5 GUI — a complete income
management dashboard built into the AI Center.
• 6-page side-navigation layout: Dashboard, Streams, Pending, Wallet, Config, Log.
• Dashboard: 5 stat cards (Earned 30d, Today, Goal, Active streams, Pending),
animated monthly goal progress bar, earnings-by-stream table, 25-entry activity feed.
• Streams page: all 28 income streams in a table with live status badges,
last-run time, 30-day earnings, per-row Enable/Pause toggle and Run Now button,
plus bulk Enable All / Pause All actions.
• Pending Approvals: card-per-action layout with stream badge, amount, description,
per-card Approve/Reject buttons, and Approve All bulk action.
• Wallet: PayPal/Stripe/Total balance cards, Sync Income Now, Check Balances,
50-row synced transactions table.
• Config: 6-tab form covering all 50+ credential and settings fields with
show/hide toggles on secret fields and a single Save Config button.
• Activity Log: 200 entries, colour-coded ERROR/WARN/INFO, monospace font,
auto-scroll, Clear and Refresh controls.
• Finance AI chat pane always visible on the right — injects live earnings
context (goal, earned, active streams, pending count, capital) into every
message. Three suggestion chips: Analyse / Ideas / Next Step.
• 10 built-in themes with live switching — no restart required:
Electra Dark, Midnight Purple, Ocean Teal, Amber Night, Rose Dark,
Light Ink (default), Solarized Light, Nord, Dracula, Monokai.
• Theme preference persisted to finance.conf — restores on next launch.
• All background operations (stream runs, wallet sync, AI chat, scan) run in
QThread workers so the UI never freezes.
• Auto-refresh every 60 seconds.

🟢 Electra Bar — Qt xcb Platform Fix
• electra_bar_qt.py and electra_bar_launcher.py now detect the missing
libxcb-cursor0 dependency (required on Ubuntu 22.04+/23.04+ for the Qt
xcb platform plugin) before QApplication is created.
• Clear error message printed with exact fix: sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0
• Wayland sessions automatically switch to QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland.
• QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH auto-detected across all common PyQt5/PyQt6
install locations (system apt, pip, user local).

🟢 Build System — PyQt5 + Memory Fixes
• docker.sh: PyQt5 installed via pip (not Debian package) so Nuitka can
locate and bundle it correctly. libxcb-cursor0 added to both fresh and
existing container provisioning. --shm-size=6g added to docker run.
• compile.sh: --jobs=1, --lto=no, --low-memory added to prevent gcc OOM-kill
on the large ai_terminal.py → C translation unit (37K+ lines).
--include-package=PyQt5 (+ QtWidgets/QtCore/QtGui) added for Finance GUI.
Removed --enable-plugin=pyqt5 (incompatible with Debian PyQt5 package).
• Pre-flight RAM check warns if less than 6GB free before compilation starts.

🔴 Telegram Service — Fixed (Survives Reboot)
• Telegram daemon service (/telegram service install) now works correctly
after reboot. The service file is now written directly by the compiled
binary — no external install_telegram_service.sh required.
• Service unit now sets HOME, XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and PATH explicitly so the
daemon has a valid environment when started by systemd after boot.
• Root cause: top-level import of tkinter and ttkbootstrap was crashing the
binary at startup in any headless/no-display environment (e.g. systemd
service). Both are now lazy-imported only inside the functions that need
them (/box multiline input, /image file picker fallback).
• telegram_bridge is fully bundled inside ai_terminal.bin — no separate
.py file needs to be deployed alongside the binary.

🟢 Per-Project Memory — Coder Mode
• Each project folder now gets its own stable conversation_id stored in
/.electra_session.json (Coder mode only).
• Opening the same folder again reconnects the AI to that project's
server-side MemPalace thread — full long-term project memory.
• Different folders get different IDs — no cross-project memory bleed.
• Terminal shows "🧠 Project memory: Returning session (ID xxxxxxxx…)"
or "New session" so you always know which memory thread is active.
• Chat and Command modes are unaffected — they keep their own global
persistent IDs (~/.electra_chat_id and ~/.electra/command_id).
• .electra_session.json excluded from file tree, vector index, and codebase map.
• Falls back silently to the global coder_id on read-only filesystems.

🟢 GUI — Safe Workspace Redirect
• Home directory, Desktop, Downloads, Documents and other system folders are now
blocked as workspace roots — the GUI silently redirects to ~/workspace/project_
so the file-tree indexer never crawls tens-of-thousands of unrelated files.
• _safe_workspace() guard applied at three points: GUI init (cwd on launch),
"New Workspace" folder picker, and the --cwd argument parser.
• --cwd guard extended to cover --gui launches (previously only --coder/--writer).
• Unsafe directory list expanded: ~/Downloads, ~/Documents, ~/Pictures, ~/Videos,
~/Music, ~/Public, ~/Templates, /tmp, /root, /, /home.

🟢 GUI — Collapsible Thinking Blocks
• AI thinking blocks now collapse automatically the moment the full response
arrives (ChatGPT-style). A ▾ arrow in the header lets users re-expand any time.
• Thinking summary preview (first 70 chars) shown inline while collapsed.

🟢 GUI — Default Theme Changed to Light Ink
• Light Ink is now the default theme on first launch.

🟢 GUI — Deferred File-Tree Indexing
• File tree now populates in a background thread after the window appears —
GUI opens instantly instead of hanging on large directories.
• "● Indexing workspace files…" / "✓ Workspace ready" status shown in activity log.
• Vector index start/done also surfaced in activity log via indexing_status callback.

🟢 GUI — Auto Mode-Switch from Routing Agent
• When the routing agent routes a prompt to CODER or WRITER, the GUI tab
switches automatically — no need to manually click the mode buttons.

🔴 Bug Reporting & Error Auto-Filing
• /report, /bug, /bugs now open GitHub Issues in the browser.
• Added _auto_report() — silent background GitHub issue filer hooked into all
major error paths (Chat, Coder, Command agents).
• 3-layer dedup: in-memory (1hr) → local ledger → GitHub search.
• Recurrence comments rate-limited to once per 24h per machine per error fingerprint.
• Fixed stamp write race in release notes popup.

⚡ 2026.06.03

🔴 Core Coder Agent & Context Retention Fixes
• Persistent context logging restored — fallback/retry states now write to
coding_history, fixing conversation continuity during network recovery.
• conversation_id promoted to a top-level payload key across 10 request sites.
• Surgical file tools now update LAST_WRITTEN_FILE and trigger background re-indexing.

🟠 Tool Integrations & Router Fixes
• Weather keyword hijack fixed — CPU/RAM/disk terms no longer trigger weather routing.
• Binary file read crashes fixed (errors="replace").
• tags stripped from AI responses before saving to compressed history.

🟡 GUI Editor Fixes
• Diff hunk double-newline corruption fixed.
• Duplicate stream-end signal fixed.
• /ghost command initialisation fixed.
• GUI loading indicators now activate correctly during planning phases.
