prismnext 0.6.6-alpha.2

What's new

Interaction (experimental)

• Full Interaction stack beyond the 0.6.5 shell: Chat fences open RightArea panels backed by .prismnext/artifacts/<id>/spec.json
• Agent tools: interaction-list / read / write / open with write-time validation and capability-aware tool copy
• Primary kinds: figure.plotly (scientific 2D/3D + frames/sliders), instrument (live recompute + host stepper), figure.static, figure.script (sandboxed escape hatch), diagram.mermaid (Mermaid / Graphviz)
• Host compute layer ($grid / $expr* markers): formula coordinates evaluated by Prism, not hand-typed arrays; continuous traces reject literal coordinate dumps
• Bound resources fingerprint on write; experiment output changes require a new Interaction revision
• Offscreen thumbnails for Plotly / instrument / script / diagram so Chat cards show a real preview
• Legacy scene.ir / math.* / scene.program rejected on write; old artifacts open as read-only migration cards
• Shared project venv at .prismnext/.venv also used for Interaction Python figure authoring

Release CI

• Raise Node heap to 8GB for Release builds; split Plotly / Three / Mermaid / Graphviz / Observable Plot into separate Vite chunks

prismnext 0.6.5

What's new

Experiments

• Experiments workbench: Files-style sidebar list, multi-tab detail, and Overview / Execution / Results
• Create and manage experiments from the panel (active/archived); link research briefs and tags
• Execution: run history with live output, cancel, compare selected runs, and “Use in paper”
• Results: recorded artifacts by run (with figure previews) plus a working-directory scan view; clearer ownership when paths are shared
• Chat: live command/output while experiment-run is in progress; clearer run cards

Python environment

• One shared project venv at .prismnext/.venv (lazy on first need) — no per-island venvs

Layout

• Fix RightArea open/restore on medium windows so Chat keeps its minimum width

Chat

• question tool: discrete choices must use options so multiple-choice prompts show clickable choices

Interaction (early shell)

• Chat ```interaction fences open a RightArea panel shell backed by .prismnext/artifacts/<id>/spec.json
• Agent tools: interaction-list / read / write / open (renderers beyond the shell remain experimental on a separate branch)

prismnext 0.6.3

What's new

Chat

• Turn rail on the message list right edge: scrub turns, hover for preview (text / time / model), click to jump — also expands the virtual turn window when needed
• At least two turns required before the rail appears

Command palette

• Full command palette: categories (All / Files / Sessions / History / Literature / Modes / Settings), Tab to switch, fuzzy match across names and paths
• Empty All view shows recent files and sessions; successful searches keep a per-project history
• Open files, chat sessions, workspace modes, settings pages, and literature (list + FTS); Shift+Enter opens the target with Right Area maximized
• Quick create: new file, new chat session, new experiment island; open a URL in the in-app browser

Repo

• Public README media lives under assets/; internal design/plan docs moved to gitignored docs-private/; docs/ reserved for future public product documentation

prismnext 0.6.2

What's new

Appearance

• Theme packs (Academic, Midnight, Forest, Warm Paper, Graphite) replace single accent colors — each pack is one hand-tuned palette
• Quiet shadcn surface hierarchy (canvas / card lift / muted PDF well); opaque fills only — no translucent theme tints
• Default corner radius matches shadcn (0.625rem); Appearance adds a Default radius option
• App status uses semantic tokens; Git added/deleted follow green/red-family success/destructive across packs, modified/renamed keep conventional amber/violet
• AiBar capsule border follows the active theme border token

Chat

• Message width tiers: Narrow / Balanced / Wide (Appearance → Chat Layout); cycle with ⌘⇧W / Ctrl+Shift+W
• Composer and AiBar capsule track the active width tier and UI font size

Workspace & Files

• Fix: switching projects could wipe workspace folders to empty via autosave cleanup — snapshot flush plus server-side empty-list guard so folders recover
• Workspace settings: clearer This project / New project template tabs
• Folder icons recognize common names (figures, src, notes, …) instead of only workspace function

Fixes

• Packaged app: CSP wasm-unsafe-eval so Shiki chat code highlighting works in release builds
• Literature notes: rewrite extract images/… paths on Insert into note; markdown preview loads local images in notes

prismnext 0.6.1

What's new

Fixes

• Fix startup race: concurrent ACP initialize() from app warm-up and project chat:prewarm no longer kills the handshake mid-flight (ACP connection closed / Agent project warm-up failed toast)

prismnext 0.6.0

What's new

Shell & Agent

• Industry-standard warm start: splash stays until ACP + project config are ready; last project warms as soon as ACP is up
• Sessions are created only on first send / New Chat — no idle empty-session mint cycle
• Agent status dot is truthful (connected / starting / failed + Retry); project prewarm shown when a project is open
• Optional background update download (About toggle); clearer ready-to-install vs downloading states

Chat UX

• Turn footer: relative time, model, Restore (when files changed), Copy — persisted per session
• Session hover card: title, checkout, Build/Plan, staged citations, intensive count
• Plan mode toggle ⌥P / Alt+P; homepage Plan suggest shows the shortcut chord
• Chat typography collapsed to body (14) + chrome (13); composer / branch / Plan toolbar density aligned
• Streaming stop uses theme primary (same as send)

Git & Files

• Git Changes filter persists across mode switches and restarts
• Deleted files show a Deleted label
• Image viewer: zoom, pan, pinch / soft ⌘-scroll

Download & Platforms

• Download site redesign: instrument grid, EN/ZH product screenshots, slogan for co-driven gated research loop
• Linux AppImage in release CI; linuxUrl in updater / site metadata
• README (EN/ZH): Early Access tone, badges, platform list including Linux

prismnext 0.5.17

What's new

Fixes

• Packaged app: load OpenCode custom tools from src/main/tools/ (wrong main/tools/ path broke bridge-paths sync and ACP tool loading)

Distribution & CI

• Bump Release Actions off deprecated Node 20 runtime

Docs & licensing

• Apache NOTICE + provisional copyright yibocat; package.json author

prismnext 0.5.16

What's new

Updates UX

• One-click update in About, Welcome, and the left sidebar when a newer build is available (download then restart)
• About no longer shows Update source; stale local updateSource overrides are ignored so packaged apps use the baked R2 feed
• Startup splash shows the PrismNext ribbon; Dock / installer icons use a larger mark

Docs & open source

• Apache-2.0 LICENSE plus GitHub community files (contributing, security, conduct, Issue/PR templates)
• Product README (EN/ZH) rewritten for Early Access positioning
• Download site (website/): branded hero, EN/ZH, OS-aware macOS / Windows CTAs
