                        ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━


1 Unreleased
════════════


2 Version 0.4.3 (2026-09-01)
════════════════════════════

  • Kept project-chat names tied to their launch root while separating
    editor directory from gateway cwd.  Passive cwd updates leave the
    editor context alone; an explicit “Set directory” adopts the
    backend-returned path.


3 Version 0.4.2 (2026-08-30)
════════════════════════════

  • Kept `hermes-project-chat' buffer names anchored to their launching
    project, independent of the gateway working directory, and added
    `hermes-chat-buffer-name-function' for custom naming conventions.


4 Version 0.4.1 (2026-08-29)
════════════════════════════

  • Kept named remote instances in the gateway filesystem namespace
    across chat creation, resume, and working-directory changes without
    overwriting the editor's local directory.
  • Serialized fresh-session setup and create-time runtime overrides so
    retries, concurrent callers, and stale callbacks cannot duplicate or
    replace work.
  • Preferred valid stored basic credentials before browser PKCE in auto
    mode, while preserving native fallback and normalizing unusable
    secret errors.


5 Version 0.4.0 (2026-08-29)
════════════════════════════

  • Added pre-session model and reasoning selection, including explicit
    confirmation before applying expensive model switches.
  • Applied create-time runtime choices before the first prompt and kept
    retries scoped to the exact session that owns them.
  • Restored active dashboard turns after reconnect without letting
    stale socket callbacks mutate successor sessions.
  • Added complete batched clarification support for single-choice,
    multi-select, and free-form questions, including partial retries and
    resumed sessions.


6 Version 0.3.3 (2026-08-22)
════════════════════════════

  • Aligned pipe tables in settled chat markdown so columns line up.
  • Routed `/compact' through `session.compress' with a live progress
    line.
  • Made live loading fail closed and kept reconnect, authentication,
    startup, and token persistence effects owned by the exact current
    client.
  • Serialized prompt, submission, queue, and terminal authority so
    stale callbacks cannot settle or mutate a successor operation.
  • Owned spawned dashboard processes through startup, socket opening,
    shutdown, and early exit; failed spawns no longer attach to an
    unrelated listener.
  • Styled the dashboard header and suppressed stale session-archive
    success.


7 Version 0.3.2 (2026-08-16)
════════════════════════════

  • Added `hermes-project-chat' to reuse or create a chat at the current
    project root; a prefix argument always opens another.
  • Grouped the dashboard by Hermes instance, rebalanced chat action
    popup groups, and reused one status line for compression warnings.
  • Isolated prompt, steer, background-submit, and session-panel
    ownership so stale callbacks cannot mutate a successor chat or
    restore a rejected draft into the wrong buffer.
  • Kept instance-scoped browsers, Kanban tails, cron edits, MCP
    toggles, rollback restores, provider-key saves, capability connects,
    and subagent interrupts from leaking across instance switches or
    list refreshes.


8 Version 0.3.1 (2026-08-15)
════════════════════════════

  • Added shell-style completion and direct session switching for
    `/model' while preserving the interactive model picker.
  • Serialized session handoffs and command mutations so stale
    callbacks, disconnects, and overdue handoffs cannot race or
    permanently block chats.
  • Improved queued and background turn ordering, session
    working-directory updates, credential-prompt expiry, and
    pending-reply rendering.
  • Hardened provider authentication, OAuth token rollback, reconnect
    readiness, and bounded embedded-image parsing.


9 Version 0.3.0 (2026-08-14)
════════════════════════════

  • Added named Hermes instances with per-instance dashboard endpoints
    and instance selection across chats and management browsers.
  • Kept asynchronous reads, mutations, and singleton browsers scoped to
    their owning instance; stale callbacks no longer leak state or
    report actions after a buffer changes ownership.
  • Preserved the single-instance workflow as the default configuration.


10 Version 0.2.1 (2026-08-13)
═════════════════════════════

  • Added a backend-driven provider-account browser for OAuth and
    external
