1.0.0-beta.4

25th July, 2026

This remains an opt-in integration preview and does not replace the latest stable release. Update every participating device before resuming synchronisation, and continue to use a current backup while testing with an existing Vault.

Verify and repair all files now reports the database winner, every conflict revision, missing chunks, and unavailable shared ancestors separately. It can retry an exact revision without changing the tree, while discarding an unreadable live revision requires explicit confirmation.
Command-palette actions now use clearer names and appear only when their feature and current context make them usable. Renamed commands keep their identifiers, so hotkeys already assigned to them continue to work. The onboarding wizard can be reopened from Self-hosted LiveSync settings → Setup.
Text in setup and review dialogues can now be selected for copying or translation.
When LiveSync adopts an available interface translation on first start-up, it now continues initialisation and leaves a persistent Notice from which the translation details can be opened, instead of waiting for an unsolicited dialogue.

An unreadable conflict revision is no longer deleted automatically merely because its chunks are unavailable on the current device.
Garbage Collection V3 now protects chunks required by every live conflict branch and the available revision ancestry needed to review and merge conflicts, instead of considering only the database winner. The action is offered only for CouchDB because P2P has no central database to compact and does not provide the device inventory required by the workflow. Collection now stops when device progress cannot be verified, and a compaction timeout is no longer followed by a contradictory success message.

Added regressions for revision repair, command availability, selectable dialogues, conflict-aware chunk reachability, device-progress safeguards, and compaction timeouts.
Added a real CouchDB integration test for logical chunk deletion, shared and conflict chunk retention, compaction completion, downstream replication, and content-addressed chunk recreation.
Added a real Obsidian encrypted reconnect scenario which replaces the remote Security Seed while one client retains the previous value, verifies that synchronisation refreshes it without restoring the old value, and proves a bidirectional encrypted round-trip.
