  GitHub Actions release pipeline.

GateTree 2.6.0

AI Skills workspace

• Added an AI Skills sidebar hierarchy with a mounted Skill folder configuration,
  expandable skill launcher menu and native live output pane.
• Runs now use complete local skill packages, including referenced files,
  scripts, assets and profile files, instead of importing only SKILL.md.
• Added Start, Cancel, Clear, copy and timestamped output-file export controls.
• The output view follows streamed Codex output automatically.

Workspace layout

• Pinned the primary split layout to the window origin to prevent a blank area
  above the connection search when a tall workspace pane is selected.

GateTree 2.5.2

Terminal fixes

• Improved the embedded SSH terminal toolbar and its Detach action.
• Fixed cursor-key handling for interactive full-screen terminal applications.
• Pass the release version consistently into local and packaged application builds.
• Build bundled dependencies on macOS 26 so the release runs on macOS 26;
  this fixes the startup failure in the earlier 2.5.1 package.

GateTree 2.5.0

Terminal workspace

• Added embedded local terminals that run inside GateTree rather than opening
  Terminal.app windows.
• The Quick Access Terminal menu creates a new terminal with the selected
  Midnight, Paper, or Matrix appearance.
• Multiple local terminals can stay open concurrently and are grouped in the
  right-hand Open Panes rail, where they can be selected or closed.
• SSH terminals can be moved into a separate native window and attached back
  to GateTree. Keyboard focus now remains with the selected terminal pane.

GateTree 2.1.3

Touch ID unlock

• Added optional Touch ID unlock for encrypted workspaces in provisioned Developer ID releases.
• The release pipeline now embeds the Developer ID provisioning profile required for the Keychain access group entitlement.
• Local unsigned development builds continue to use the master password only.

GateTree 2.1.2

First-run workspace setup

• Fixed the workspace-folder picker on a fresh installation when the suggested GateTree folder does not yet exist.

GateTree 2.1.1

Deployment workflow

• Added direct Jira and CX API integration backed by KeePass credentials.
• Added CX readiness validation, per-role approval and deny actions, and queue-manager restart recovery.
• Improved deployment reports with validation/deployment details, version, target IPs and failure context.
• Added Vault configuration, integrated help, updated deployment queue layout and new Sauron/Olympos connections.

GateTree 2.1.0

Ansible deployment queue and Jira reporting

• Added Jira availability checks and deployment lifecycle updates to the configured deployment process.
• Deployment reports now retain validation, Queue Manager events and Ansible deployment output in one HTML report stored in the encrypted workspace.
• Successful Jira deployments upload the report as an attachment and link it from the deployment result comment.
• Queue Logs now presents the combined report and can save it as HTML.
• Improved target extraction so every host name and IP address from Ansible preview output is retained.

GateTree 2.0.0

Encrypted workspace and setup

• Choose a workspace folder on first launch and create a mandatory master password.
• Workspace data is stored in SQLCipher, including Connections, Vault references,
  Notes, deployment configuration/history/queue/logs, AI settings, Quick Access,
  and the latest bulk validation result.
• The chosen folder is remembered. Existing encrypted workspaces require both
  gatetree.sqlite and its original gatetree.sqlite.salt file.
• Plaintext workspace mode is no longer supported.

Configuration export and import

• File → Export Configuration creates a full, versioned plaintext JSON export of
  the application database. Protect this file: it contains private configuration,
  notes, connection details and operational history.
• File → Import Configuration restores that JSON into an unlocked encrypted
  workspace. An encrypted backup is created before replacement; failed imports
  roll back. Column order differences between database versions are supported.
• Fresh setup: choose an empty folder → set a master password → import JSON.
• Exports exclude the master password, external KeePass databases and passwords,
  external files/tools, and macOS UI preferences. Reconnect KeePass and adjust
  machine-specific paths and permissions when restoring on another Mac.

Important upgrade information

• Legacy Workspace.gatetree files are not imported automatically and are not
  accepted by the JSON importer. Keep the previous app and original workspace
  backup if you do not yet have a compatible JSON export.
• An older 1.x SQL database alone may not contain its Connections and Vaults:
  those versions also used the legacy workspace file. Do not discard that file.
• Fully migrated SQLCipher workspaces can be opened directly by selecting their
  containing folder. Quit GateTree before moving a complete workspace folder.

Verification

• Tested a real JSON export through all 17 exported tables, including encrypted
  database reopening, key rejection/rekey, and rollback checks.
• Graphically verified fresh setup, folder-picker cancellation, JSON import,
  restart, folder retention, unlock, Connections, Notes, Vaults and Quick Access.
• Live SSH/RDP sessions and external deployment execution are not covered by
  this storage/setup test.

GateTree 1.0.4

• Added an encrypted, local AI Skills catalog that discovers SKILL.md files
  from configured Skill Library folders without changing the source skills.
• Added AI configuration storage for skill libraries and general typed values.

Deployment workspace

• Surface in-progress Setup validation jobs in the activity indicator, with
  their role, target sites and Ansible job ID.

• Added persistent SQLCipher Setup configuration history with filtering, deletion, role previews and copyable assembled payloads.
• Moved Notes and note folders into SQLCipher SQLite with a one-time migration from legacy encrypted workspaces.

GateTree 1.0.1

Deployment workspace

• Added encrypted SQLite persistence for deployment configuration, endpoints,
  processes, requests, queue rows and operational logs.
• Added queue grouping, explicit validation approval, OLAM job tracking and
  template ID/name verification before Ansible jobs are launched.
• Improved Setup plan loading, Jira/CX tracking, queue output export and
  compact operational logs.

• File → Import Configuration restores that JSON into an unlocked encrypted
  workspace. An encrypted backup is created before replacement; failed imports
  roll back. Column order differences between database versions are supported.
• Fresh setup: choose an empty folder → set a master password → import JSON.
• Exports exclude the master password, external KeePass databases and passwords,
  external files/tools, and macOS UI preferences. Reconnect KeePass and adjust
  machine-specific paths and permissions when restoring on another Mac.

Important upgrade information

• Legacy Workspace.gatetree files are not imported automatically and are not
  accepted by the JSON importer. Keep the previous app and original workspace
  backup if you do not yet have a compatible JSON export.
• An older 1.x SQL database alone may not contain its Connections and Vaults:
  those versions also used the legacy workspace file. Do not discard that file.
• Fully migrated SQLCipher workspaces can be opened directly by selecting their
  containing folder. Quit GateTree before moving a complete workspace folder.

Verification

• Tested a real JSON export through all 17 exported tables, including encrypted
  database reopening, key rejection/rekey, and rollback checks.
• Graphically verified fresh setup, folder-picker cancellation, JSON import,
  restart, folder retention, unlock, Connections, Notes, Vaults and Quick Access.
• Live SSH/RDP sessions and external deployment execution are not covered by
  this storage/setup test.

  active VPN at a glance: C for Cisco Secure and G for GlobalProtect.
• The indicator refreshes every 10 seconds, remains read-only, and warns if
  both VPNs appear active.

Sidebar and Quick Access polish

• Aligned the AI Skills and Help root rows with the rest of the sidebar.
• Simplified the Details header, Help page, and connection search label.

• Runs now use complete local skill packages, including referenced files,
  scripts, assets and profile files, instead of importing only SKILL.md.
• Added Start, Cancel, Clear, copy and timestamped output-file export controls.
• The output view follows streamed Codex output automatically.

Workspace layout

• Pinned the primary split layout to the window origin to prevent a blank area
  above the connection search when a tall workspace pane is selected.

GateTree 2.5.2

Terminal fixes

• Improved the embedded SSH terminal toolbar and its Detach action.
• Fixed cursor-key handling for interactive full-screen terminal applications.
• Pass the release version consistently into local and packaged application builds.
• Build bundled dependencies on macOS 26 so the release runs on macOS 26;
  this fixes the startup failure in the earlier 2.5.1 package.

GateTree 2.5.0

Terminal workspace

• Added embedded local terminals that run inside GateTree rather than opening
  Terminal.app windows.
• The Quick Access Terminal menu creates a new terminal with the selected
  Midnight, Paper, or Matrix appearance.
• Multiple local terminals can stay open concurrently and are grouped in the
  right-hand Open Panes rail, where they can be selected or closed.

• Improved target extraction so every host name and IP address from Ansible preview output is retained.

GateTree 2.0.0

Encrypted workspace and setup

• Choose a workspace folder on first launch and create a mandatory master password.
• Workspace data is stored in SQLCipher, including Connections, Vault references,
  Notes, deployment configuration/history/queue/logs, AI settings, Quick Access,
  and the latest bulk validation result.
• The chosen folder is remembered. Existing encrypted workspaces require both
  gatetree.sqlite and its original gatetree.sqlite.salt file.
• Plaintext workspace mode is no longer supported.

Configuration export and import

• File → Export Configuration creates a full, versioned plaintext JSON export of
  the application database. Protect this file: it contains private configuration,
  notes, connection details and operational history.
• File → Import Configuration restores that JSON into an unlocked encrypted
  workspace. An encrypted backup is created before replacement; failed imports
  roll back. Column order differences between database versions are supported.
• Fresh setup: choose an empty folder → set a master password → import JSON.

GateTree 2.5.0

Terminal workspace

• Added embedded local terminals that run inside GateTree rather than opening
  Terminal.app windows.
• The Quick Access Terminal menu creates a new terminal with the selected
  Midnight, Paper, or Matrix appearance.
• Multiple local terminals can stay open concurrently and are grouped in the
  right-hand Open Panes rail, where they can be selected or closed.
• SSH terminals can be moved into a separate native window and attached back
  to GateTree. Keyboard focus now remains with the selected terminal pane.

GateTree 2.1.3

Touch ID unlock

• Added optional Touch ID unlock for encrypted workspaces in provisioned Developer ID releases.
• The release pipeline now embeds the Developer ID provisioning profile required for the Keychain access group entitlement.
• Local unsigned development builds continue to use the master password only.

GateTree 2.1.2

First-run workspace setup

• Fixed the workspace-folder picker on a fresh installation when the suggested GateTree folder does not yet exist.

GateTree 2.1.1

Deployment workflow

• Added direct Jira and CX API integration backed by KeePass credentials.
• Added CX readiness validation, per-role approval and deny actions, and queue-manager restart recovery.
• Improved deployment reports with validation/deployment details, version, target IPs and failure context.
• Added Vault configuration, integrated help, updated deployment queue layout and new Sauron/Olympos connections.

GateTree 2.1.0

Ansible deployment queue and Jira reporting

• Added Jira availability checks and deployment lifecycle updates to the configured deployment process.
• Deployment reports now retain validation, Queue Manager events and Ansible deployment output in one HTML report stored in the encrypted workspace.
• Successful Jira deployments upload the report as an attachment and link it from the deployment result comment.
• Queue Logs now presents the combined report and can save it as HTML.
• Improved target extraction so every host name and IP address from Ansible preview output is retained.

GateTree 2.0.0

Encrypted workspace and setup

• Choose a workspace folder on first launch and create a mandatory master password.
• Workspace data is stored in SQLCipher, including Connections, Vault references,
  Notes, deployment configuration/history/queue/logs, AI settings, Quick Access,
  and the latest bulk validation result.
• The chosen folder is remembered. Existing encrypted workspaces require both
  gatetree.sqlite and its original gatetree.sqlite.salt file.
• Plaintext workspace mode is no longer supported.

Configuration export and import

• File → Export Configuration creates a full, versioned plaintext JSON export of
  the application database. Protect this file: it contains private configuration,
  notes, connection details and operational history.
• File → Import Configuration restores that JSON into an unlocked encrypted
  workspace. An encrypted backup is created before replacement; failed imports
  roll back. Column order differences between database versions are supported.
• Fresh setup: choose an empty folder → set a master password → import JSON.
• Exports exclude the master password, external KeePass databases and passwords,
  external files/tools, and macOS UI preferences. Reconnect KeePass and adjust
  machine-specific paths and permissions when restoring on another Mac.

Important upgrade information

• Legacy Workspace.gatetree files are not imported automatically and are not
  accepted by the JSON importer. Keep the previous app and original workspace
  backup if you do not yet have a compatible JSON export.
• An older 1.x SQL database alone may not contain its Connections and Vaults:
  those versions also used the legacy workspace file. Do not discard that file.
• Fully migrated SQLCipher workspaces can be opened directly by selecting their
  containing folder. Quit GateTree before moving a complete workspace folder.

Verification

• Tested a real JSON export through all 17 exported tables, including encrypted
  database reopening, key rejection/rekey, and rollback checks.
• Graphically verified fresh setup, folder-picker cancellation, JSON import,
  restart, folder retention, unlock, Connections, Notes, Vaults and Quick Access.
• Live SSH/RDP sessions and external deployment execution are not covered by
  this storage/setup test.

GateTree 1.0.4

AI workspace

• Added an encrypted, local AI Skills catalog that discovers SKILL.md files
  from configured Skill Library folders without changing the source skills.
• Added AI configuration storage for skill libraries and general typed values.

Deployment workspace

• Surface in-progress Setup validation jobs in the activity indicator, with
  their role, target sites and Ansible job ID.

GateTree 1.0.3

Deployment workspace

• Added site-specific roles: all expansion from the configured Ansible inventory's roles.yaml.
• Added persistent SQLCipher Setup configuration history with filtering, deletion, role previews and copyable assembled payloads.
• Moved Notes and note folders into SQLCipher SQLite with a one-time migration from legacy encrypted workspaces.

GateTree 1.0.1

Deployment workspace

• Added encrypted SQLite persistence for deployment configuration, endpoints,
  processes, requests, queue rows and operational logs.
• Added queue grouping, explicit validation approval, OLAM job tracking and
  template ID/name verification before Ansible jobs are launched.
• Improved Setup plan loading, Jira/CX tracking, queue output export and
  compact operational logs.

GateTree 1.0.0

Deployment queue

• Added a persistent Queue with per-deployment IDs, start/stop controls,
  workflow status and Ansible job tracking.
• Added Queue Manager controls and status polling for active Ansible jobs.
• Queue detail now retains Queue Manager events and raw Ansible output.
• Export a deployment's validation, events and Ansible output as one ZIP archive.

Deployment validation

• Added Ansible pre-validation with a compact deployment-preview table.
• Saved deployments can enter the Queue only after successful validation.
• Added multi-site target selection, target scrolling and select/deselect all.

Workspace

• The deployment navigation now uses Setup and Queue; the separate Logs page
  was removed because Queue owns deployment history and output.

GateTree v2.8.3

GateTree 2.8.0

VPN status indicator

• Added a compact, automatically refreshed Quick Access shield that shows the
  active VPN at a glance: C for Cisco Secure and G for GlobalProtect.
• The indicator refreshes every 10 seconds, remains read-only, and warns if
  both VPNs appear active.

Sidebar and Quick Access polish

• Aligned the AI Skills and Help root rows with the rest of the sidebar.
• Simplified the Details header, Help page, and connection search label.
• Compacted the Quick Access bar so more bookmarks fit without a visible
  scrollbar.

GateTree 2.7.1

Sidebar polish

• Aligned the AI Skills and Help root rows with the rest of the sidebar.
• Simplified the Details header and compacted the Quick Access bar so more
  bookmarks fit without a visible scrollbar.

GateTree 2.7.0

Skill package portability

• Added one-click ZIP export for the selected AI Skill package, preserving
  SKILL.md together with its references, scripts, assets and profile files.

Security and branding

• Moved the Touch ID Keychain service to the vendor-neutral GateTree namespace.
  Existing unlock items migrate automatically on their next successful use.

GateTree 2.6.1

Release refresh

• Republished the completed AI Skills workspace release after restoring the
  GitHub Actions release pipeline.

GateTree 2.6.0

AI Skills workspace

• Added an AI Skills sidebar hierarchy with a mounted Skill folder configuration,
  expandable skill launcher menu and native live output pane.
• Runs now use complete local skill packages, including referenced files,
  scripts, assets and profile files, instead of importing only SKILL.md.
• Added Start, Cancel, Clear, copy and timestamped output-file export controls.
• The output view follows streamed Codex output automatically.

Workspace layout

• Pinned the primary split layout to the window origin to prevent a blank area
  above the connection search when a tall workspace pane is selected.

GateTree 2.5.2

Terminal fixes

• Improved the embedded SSH terminal toolbar and its Detach action.
• Fixed cursor-key handling for interactive full-screen terminal applications.
• Pass the release version consistently into local and packaged application builds.
• Build bundled dependencies on macOS 26 so the release runs on macOS 26;
  this fixes the startup failure in the earlier 2.5.1 package.

GateTree 2.5.0
