Oracle 1.2.0

Added

• oracle-mcp stdio server (bin) with consult and sessions tools plus read-only session resources at oracle-session://{id}/{metadata|log|request}.
• MCP logging notifications for consult streaming (info/debug with byte sizes); browser engine guardrails now check Chrome availability before a browser run starts.
• Hidden root-level aliases --message (prompt) and --include (files) to mirror common agent calling conventions.
• --preview now works with --engine browser, emitting the composed browser payload (token estimate, attachment list, optional JSON/full dumps) without launching Chrome or requiring an API key.
• New --browser-bundle-files flag to opt into bundling all attachments into a single upload; bundling is still auto-applied when more than 10 files are provided.
• Desktop session notifications (default on unless CI/SSH) with --[no-]notify and optional --notify-sound; completed runs announce session name, API cost, and character count via OS-native toasts.
• Per-user JSON5 config at ~/.oracle/config.json to set default engine/model, notification prefs (including sound/mute rules), browser defaults, heartbeat, file-reporting, background mode, and prompt suffixes. CLI/env still override config.
• Session lists now show headers plus a cost column for quick scanning.

Changed

• Browser model picker is now more robust: longer menu-open window, richer tokens/testids for GPT-5.1 and GPT-5 Pro, fallback snapshot logging, and best-effort selection to reduce “model not found” errors.
• MCP consult honors notification settings so the macOS Swift notifier fires for MCP-triggered runs.
• sessions tool now returns a summary row for id lookups by default; pass detail: true to fetch full metadata/log/request to avoid large accidental payloads.
• Directory/glob expansions now honor .gitignore files and skip dotfiles by default; explicitly matching patterns (e.g., --file "src/**/.keep") still opt in.
• Default ignores when crawling project roots now drop common build/cache folders (node_modules, dist, coverage, .git, .turbo, .next, build, tmp) unless the path is passed explicitly. Oracle logs each skipped path for transparency.
• Browser engine now logs a one-line warning before cookie sync, noting macOS may prompt for a Keychain password and how to bypass via --browser-no-cookie-sync or --browser-allow-cookie-errors.
• gpt-5-pro API runs default to non-blocking; add --wait to block. gpt-5.1 and browser runs still block by default. CLI now polls once for in_progress responses before failing.
• macOS notifier helper now ships signed/notarized with the Oracle icon and auto-repairs execute bits for the fallback terminal-notifier.
• Session summaries and cost displays are clearer, with zombie-session detection to avoid stale runs.
• Token estimation now uses the full request body (instructions + input text + tools/reasoning/background/store) and compares estimated vs actual tokens in the finished stats to reduce 400/413 surprises.

MCP configuration (quick reference)

• Local stdio (mcporter): add to config/mcporter.json

  {
    "name": "oracle",
    "type": "stdio",
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@steipete/oracle", "oracle-mcp"]
  }

• Claude Code (global/user scope):
  claude mcp add --scope user --transport stdio oracle -- oracle-mcp
• Project-scoped Claude: drop .mcp.json next to the repo root with

  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "oracle": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@steipete/oracle", "oracle-mcp"] }
    }
  }

• The MCP consult tool honors ~/.oracle/config.json defaults (engine/model/search/prompt suffix/heartbeat/background/filesReport) unless the caller overrides them.
