Countscape v0.1.0

Countscape v0.1.0

Changes

Initial public release for the supported Ubuntu GNOME/Wayland platform.

Added

• Private initialization with aware event targets, matching IANA timezones, and
  confirmed user configuration.
• Deterministic local JPG/JPEG/PNG rotation on an independent schedule.
• EXIF-aware contain and cover rendering across normalized GNOME/Wayland
  display layouts.
• Mutter discovery for physical modes, logical positions, scaling, transforms,
  primary status, layout mode, and mirroring.
• Adaptive wrapped countdown overlays and completion messages.
• Atomic, content-identified final wallpapers, photo-only cache reuse, unchanged
  render reuse, and serialized render/apply operations.
• Read-only diagnostics, rendering, apply, calibration, configuration, status,
  user-scoped installation, and conservative uninstall commands.
• Persistent wall-clock scheduling with independent countdown and photo buckets.
• Conditional per-URI GNOME restoration and ownership-validated cleanup.
• Versioned private configuration and XDG-backed separation of config, photos,
  output, cache, recorded runtime state, and user units.

Security and privacy

• Source photos remain read-only and are never renamed, rewritten, copied, or
  deleted.
• Generated output and state are replaced atomically.
• Managed directories use config-bound ownership markers and strict filename
  allowlists.
• Generated user units are content-hashed; foreign or edited units are refused.
• Managed unit regeneration keeps unit sources and the manifest
  digest-consistent across failures, and uninstall retains validated ownership
  evidence until destructive systemd cleanup succeeds.
• Lifecycle manifest schema v2 records the persistent systemd user-unit link
  directory for uninstall; pre-v0.1 integration state is not migrated.
• Source images have a fixed 50,000,000-pixel decode ceiling, and Pillow decode
  and decompression-bomb failures are reported as controlled input errors.
• Automated tests use temporary XDG roots and fake desktop adapters.
• Repository and release privacy checks screen for disallowed private and
  machine-local artifacts.

Support scope

Countscape targets Python 3.14 on Ubuntu 26.04 with GNOME on Wayland. It uses the current user's GNOME settings and systemd user manager; root is not required for Countscape itself.

Known limitations

• One private configuration represents one countdown and photo pool.
• X11, other desktop environments, other distributions, and other operating systems are not supported release claims.
• Live GNOME compatibility is limited to the configurations explicitly recorded as tested for this release.
