gitwink v0.12.0

An agent-ready interaction and delivery release. AI tools can land the user on
exact Git context without a vendor-specific bridge, search composes with the
visible timeline scope, the tray panel can grow into a full inspection surface,
and update behavior is explicit for every distribution channel.

Added

• A read-only agent control surface. gitwinkctl capabilities --json,
  show commit, and show file-history let Codex, Claude Code, scripts, and
  other tools open the exact repository context a user should inspect. The
  protocol resolves revisions and subdirectory paths safely, reuses the running
  app, reports structured outcomes, and requires neither MCP nor a
  vendor-specific skill.
• English, Korean, and Japanese UI. System-language detection and an
  explicit live preference now cover the panel, diff, Settings, update flows,
  native tray menu, and errors. Unsupported system locales fall back to English
  without shipping separate language-pack installers.
• A resizable and maximizable panel. Drag any edge or corner, choose default
  or wide presets, or maximize for deep history reading. gitwink preserves a
  scale-independent normal size, restores it across displays, and follows the
  native maximize conventions of Windows and macOS.
• Search that composes with timeline filters. Commit search now remains
  inside the active repository, author, branch, and time scope. Every scope is
  visible and editable in search mode, all-history demand stays indexed and
  cancellable, and jumping to a result round-trips through view history without
  widening the query.
• Microsoft Store-native in-app updates. Store installs now ask the
  device's Store catalog—not GitHub—whether a certified package is actually
  available, show the same header/tray indicator as direct installs, and can
  download, install, report progress and restart without sending the user to
  the Store app. Silent delivery is used when Windows permits it; otherwise the
  native consent prompt is attached to the gitwink panel.
• Browser-free Store listing submissions. The release workflow validates
  and uploads the reviewed MSIX bundle and ordered locale screenshots through
  Microsoft's packaged-app API. Omitted locales and non-desktop listing assets
  remain untouched, draft ownership is checked before mutation, and failures
  retain a recoverable submission ID instead of depending on browser entry.

Changed

• Update delivery is capability-driven. Store, Scoop, WinGet/direct and
  macOS distributions now share an explicit policy contract that separates
  update discovery from install ownership. Adding a channel no longer requires
  UI code to recognize provider names. GitHub releases remain drafts until CI
  proves that MSI, NSIS and both macOS architectures have valid signed routes.
• Repository path intake is explicit and resilient. The footer distinguishes
  native folder browsing from clipboard paste, supports Ctrl+V and Cmd+V from
  the panel, normalizes quoted file-manager paths, accepts repository
  subdirectories, and reports invalid or unavailable clipboard content without
  silently opening the wrong picker.
• Product documentation now reflects the shipping UI. The three README
  languages, Store screenshots, agent-control contract, update behavior, panel
  sizing, search scope, file history, and recoverable repository lifecycle now
  describe the same product surface.

Fixed

• Manual update checks always finish visibly. Overlapping automatic and
  manual checks coalesce, Store results are cached within Microsoft's query
  window, and explicit checks now show checking, up-to-date or failure feedback
  even when the panel was hidden. Mandatory Store updates cannot be suppressed
  by stale skip or snooze preferences.
• Scoop update preferences remain configurable. Scoop owns installation,
  but users can still select automatic, manual or disabled GitHub checks instead
  of having the entire Updates section hidden.
• Native controls honor the active theme. Language and other native select
  menus no longer open as light surfaces with unreadable disabled entries while
  Windows is using dark mode.
• Summoning surfaces the panel over the active app. A tray click, global
  shortcut, second launch, or agent handoff now reasserts the intended native
  stacking state before focusing, so a previously pinned panel cannot remain
  hidden behind a browser or video window.
