Fixed

  • pausing and resuming observing no longer risks stopping capture permanently.
    the same applies to disk hiccups (a full disk, an antivirus briefly holding a
    file): sol now retries in the background and recovers on its own instead of
    needing a relaunch.
  • what sol saves now lands on the right day and time in your journal. segments
    were previously filed under UTC, which shifted evening hours onto the next day
    for anyone west of it.
  • one problematic segment can no longer hold up everything behind it. a segment
    your journal repeatedly declines is set aside and counted in health while the
    rest keep uploading.
  • pairing with a different journal now cleanly stops the previous connection, so
    nothing keeps uploading to the journal you left.
  • sol now reliably notices sleep, wake, and display changes. these system
    notifications previously never reached it.
  • system audio keeps flowing when you switch where sound plays — headphones, a
    dock, or bluetooth.
  • the video timeline inside each segment now matches the wall clock, so what you
    saw lines up with what you heard.
  • if your exclusion rules ever fail to load, sol now drops those frames entirely
    rather than falling back to default rules. privacy fails closed.

Changed

  • the app now calls itself sol: sol is the app, your journal is the memory, and
    solstone is the platform it all comes from.
  • a friendlier first-run introduction when sol isn't paired with a journal yet.
  • audio is now stored as a single compact file per segment (about 100x smaller),
    and your pairing credentials are encrypted at rest with Windows' built-in
    protection.
  • removed the start menu item from the tray that could never be enabled.
