solstone 0.8.5

[0.8.5] - 2026-07-14

Added

• confidential processing can now be enabled from the thinking app and includes a separate audio transcription switch. when audio transcription is on, that step uses the same verified confidential connection as thinking; the rest of audio processing stays local.
• you can now bring Apple Health exports and Oura into your journal, then explore sleep, activity, heart, recovery, and other signals by day or across trends. your raw-retention choice is enforced when the import is saved, saved health material has owner-only file access, and its summary cards stay out of sol's thinking.
• the home and entities views now show how people and organizations connect. identity changes keep a history, merges can be undone, and an ambiguous name waits for your choice before the journal changes anything.
• when you add a Google, Anthropic, or OpenAI key, the thinking app checks it before anything is saved. then you can choose from three model options or name a specific model, which is checked before it becomes sol's active brain.

Changed

• sol now uses one brain chosen in the thinking app for each lane and no longer ranks or switches engines behind the scenes. older tier, routing, and fallback settings remain untouched but no longer steer model choice. if you bring a paid vendor key, some frequent work may cost more because it now uses the model you chose.

Fixed

• long hosted backups and restores no longer lose access partway through. each job now uses narrowly scoped access that lasts for the operation, while older snapshots remain append-only.
