# Changelog
All notable changes to Armature are documented here.
## v0.8.4 — Documentation Refresh + Surface Sizing Fix
Eight versions of module additions (v0.7.5–v0.8.3) shipped without a
docs pass. This release brings the public-facing guides up to date and
fixes a CSS layout bug affecting all surfaces.
**Documentation refresh**
- `STARLARK-REFERENCE.md` — added `workspace` module section (5 builtins),
`permissions` module section, and `settings.has_capability()` documentation.
- `EXTENSION-GUIDE.md` — added `capabilities` manifest block, `vector(N)`
column type, `user_permissions` and `gate_permission` manifest fields,
updated sandbox permissions list with v0.8.0+ additions (`files.read`,
`files.write`, `workspace.manage`).
- `TUTORIAL-FIRST-EXTENSION.md` — reviewed for v0.7+ accuracy (no changes needed).
**Surface sizing fix**
All surfaces using the shell topbar had scroll content clipped at the
bottom by ~44px (the topbar height). Root cause: surface containers were
siblings of `#shell-topbar` inside `.surface-inner`, which used
`height: 100%` without flex layout — the surface div claimed the full
parent height, ignoring the topbar sibling.
- Fix: `.surface-inner` now uses `display: flex; flex-direction: column`
so the topbar and surface share vertical space via flex layout.
- All surface containers (`.surface-docs`, `.surface-admin`,
`.surface-settings`, `.surface-editor`, `.extension-surface`) changed
from `height: 100%` to `flex: 1; min-height: 0`.
- Inline styles on `surface-team-admin` and `welcome-mount` templates
updated to match.
**Modified files:**
- `server/pages/templates/base.html` — `.surface-inner` gains flex column layout
- `src/css/surfaces.css` — `.surface-docs`, `.surface-admin`, `.surface-settings`, `.surface-editor`
- `src/css/extension-surface.css` — `.extension-surface`
- `server/pages/templates/surfaces/team-admin.html` — inline style fix
- `server/pages/templates/surfaces/welcome.html` — inline style fix
- `docs/STARLARK-REFERENCE.md` — workspace, permissions, has_capability
- `docs/EXTENSION-GUIDE.md` — capabilities, vector, user_permissions, gate_permission
## v0.8.3 — Vector Column Type
Extensions can now declare vector columns and perform similarity search.
Three-tier progressive enhancement: native pgvector on Postgres, JSONB
fallback without pgvector, TEXT fallback on SQLite.
**Manifest: `db_tables` vector columns**
- Declare `"vector(N)"` as a column type (N = dimension, 1–4096).
- On Postgres with pgvector: native `vector(N)` type with auto-created
HNSW index (`vector_cosine_ops`).
- On Postgres without pgvector: `JSONB` column.
- On SQLite: `TEXT` column (JSON-encoded float arrays).
**Starlark API**
- `db.query_similar(table, column, vector=[], limit=10, filters={}, metric="cosine")`
— returns rows ordered by ascending cosine distance with injected `_distance` key.
- `db.insert()` now accepts list values (serialized as JSON strings) for
vector column storage.
**Internal**
- Modified: `handlers/ext_db_schema.go` — `parseVectorDim`, `mapColType`
gains `hasPgvector` parameter, HNSW index creation for vector columns.
- Modified: `sandbox/db_module.go` — `HasPgvector` in `DBModuleConfig`,
list support in `starlarkToGoValue`, `dbQuerySimilar` with pgvector and
fallback paths, `cosineDistance` helper.
- Modified: `sandbox/runner.go` — wire `HasPgvector` from capabilities.
- Modified: `handlers/extensions.go` — `SetCapabilities` on `ExtensionHandler`.
- Modified: `server/main.go` — wire capabilities to extension handler.
- Updated: `docs/STARLARK-REFERENCE.md` — vector similarity section.
- New tests: 5 schema tests + 8 db module tests (13 total).
## v0.8.2 — Capability Negotiation
Extensions declare environment requirements in their manifest. The kernel
validates at install time and exposes a runtime query for graceful degradation.
**Manifest: `capabilities` block**
- `capabilities.required` — array of capability names. Install is rejected
(HTTP 422) if any are unavailable. Rollback deletes the package row.
- `capabilities.optional` — array of capability names. Install succeeds
regardless; extensions query at runtime via `settings.has_capability()`.
**Detected capabilities:** `postgres`, `pgvector`, `object_storage`, `s3`,
`workspace`.
**Starlark API**
- `settings.has_capability(name)` — returns `True` or `False`. Always
available (no permission required).
**Admin API**
- `GET /api/v1/admin/capabilities` — re-probes and returns current state.
**Internal**
- New: `handlers/capabilities.go` (detection, parsing, validation, admin handler).
- New: `handlers/capabilities_test.go` (14 tests).
- New: `sandbox/settings_module_test.go` (4 tests).
- Modified: `handlers/packages.go` — replaced stub `checkCapabilities` with
real validation; `SetCapabilities` setter.
- Modified: `handlers/packages_bundled.go` — bundled packages with unmet
required capabilities are skipped on startup.
- Modified: `sandbox/settings_module.go` — `has_capability` builtin.
- Modified: `sandbox/runner.go` — `capabilities` field + `SetCapabilities` setter.
- Modified: `server/main.go` — `DetectCapabilities` at startup, wired to
runner and package handler, admin route registered.
---
## v0.8.1 — Workspace Module
New `workspace` sandbox module. Managed disk directories for extensions
that need a real filesystem (git, compilers, media tools).
**workspace module (permission: `workspace.manage`)**
- `workspace.create(name)` — create a workspace directory (idempotent). Returns absolute path. Enforces quota if `WORKSPACE_QUOTA_MB` > 0.
- `workspace.path(name)` — get the absolute path of an existing workspace. Returns None if not found.
- `workspace.list()` — list workspace names for this extension.
- `workspace.delete(name)` — recursively remove a workspace (idempotent).
- `workspace.usage(name)` — disk usage in bytes (10-second timeout on directory walk).
**Configuration**
- `WORKSPACE_ROOT` — mount point for extension workspaces (default `/data/workspaces`).
- `WORKSPACE_QUOTA_MB` — per-extension quota in MB (default `0` = unlimited).
**Internal**
- New file: `sandbox/workspace_module.go`.
- New permission constant: `ExtPermWorkspaceManage`.
- Config: `WorkspaceRoot`, `WorkspaceQuotaMB` fields.
- Runner wiring: `SetWorkspaceRoot()` setter, `buildModulesWithLibCtx` creates workspace module when permission granted.
- Startup: `main.go` creates workspace root directory if writable, graceful degradation if not.
- All directories scoped to `{WORKSPACE_ROOT}/{packageID}/{name}/`.
- Security: name regex (`^[a-z][a-z0-9_]{0,62}$`), `filepath.Clean` + prefix check, `filepath.EvalSymlinks` for symlink escape detection.
- 16 new tests (create, path, list, delete, usage, name validation, quota enforcement).
## v0.8.0 — Files Module
New `files` sandbox module. Bridges the existing ObjectStore (PVC/S3) into
the Starlark sandbox with extension-scoped key namespacing.
**files module (permissions: `files.read`, `files.write`)**
- `files.put(name, content, content_type, metadata)` — store a file with optional metadata companion. Accepts string or bytes content. 50 MB default limit (configurable via `EXT_FILES_MAX_SIZE`).
- `files.get(name)` — read a file. Returns dict with `content` (bytes), `content_type`, `size`, `metadata`. Returns None if not found.
- `files.meta(name)` — read metadata only (no content transfer).
- `files.list(prefix, limit)` — list files by prefix. Returns list of dicts. Filters out internal `_meta/` companions.
- `files.delete(name)` — delete a file and its metadata companion. Idempotent.
- `files.delete_prefix(prefix)` — delete all files under a prefix.
- `files.exists(name)` — check existence without reading.
**Internal**
- New file: `sandbox/files_module.go`.
- New permission constants: `ExtPermFilesRead`, `ExtPermFilesWrite`.
- `ObjectStore` interface gains `List(ctx, prefix, limit)` method; implemented for PVC and S3.
- Runner wiring: `SetObjectStore()` setter, `buildModulesWithLibCtx` creates files module when permission granted.
- All keys scoped to `ext/{packageID}/`. Metadata stored as companion JSON at `ext/{packageID}/_meta/{name}`.
- 16 new tests (15 files module + 1 PVC list).
## v0.7.12 — Concurrent Execution Primitive
New `batch` sandbox module. Enables extensions to parallelize arbitrary
Starlark callables — including frozen library exports from `lib.require()`.
**batch module (permission: `batch.exec`)**
- `batch.exec(callables, timeout=10)` — runs up to 8 zero-arg callables concurrently, each in its own `starlark.Thread` with independent step budget. Returns `(results, errors)` tuple with ordered results. Per-branch timeout (1–30s, default 10).
- Nested `batch.exec()` calls are prohibited (prevents exponential goroutine growth).
- `lib.require()` not available inside branches — load libraries before the batch call.
- `print()` output from branches is discarded.
**Internal**
- New file: `sandbox/batch_module.go`.
- New permission constant: `ExtPermBatchExec`.
- Runner wiring: `buildModulesWithLibCtx` creates batch module when permission granted.
- Design doc: `docs/DESIGN-batch-exec.md`.
- 12 new tests (parallel ordering, partial failure, timeout, cancellation, cap enforcement, nesting prevention, frozen sharing, permission gating).
## v0.7.11 — Query & HTTP Ergonomics
Four new Starlark sandbox builtins. No new permissions, no schema changes.
**db module (permission: `db.read`)**
- `db.count(table, filters={})` — returns integer count of matching rows.
- `db.aggregate(table, column, op, filters={})` — single-value aggregation. `op` ∈ {count, sum, avg, min, max}. Returns int, float, or None.
- `db.query_batch(queries)` — execute up to 10 query specs in a single call. Each spec supports the same parameters as `db.query`.
**http module (permission: `api.http`)**
- `http.batch(requests)` — concurrent HTTP dispatch of up to 10 requests. Individual failures return error response dicts (`status: 0`) rather than aborting the batch.
**Internal**
- Extracted `buildSelectQuery` helper from `dbQuery` for reuse by `db.query_batch`.
- 21 new tests (14 db, 7 http).
## v0.7.10 — Workflow Handoff + Assignment UI
Closes the three UX gaps found during v0.7.9: public→team handoff,
team inbox, and manual assignment. Also fixes dead system-admin bypass
in team middleware and enriches assignment API responses.
**Public Stage Handoff**
- `RenderWorkflow()` detects audience mismatch (team/system stage + unauthenticated visitor) and renders "Submitted Successfully" screen with reference ID instead of showing the team-gated form.
**API Response Enrichment**
- `ListByTeam` and `ListMine` handlers enrich assignment records with `workflow_name`, `stage_name`, `sla_breached` by joining instance → workflow → version snapshot. Results cached per-request to avoid repeated DB hits.
- `ListTeamInstances` returns `instanceView` with `workflow_name`, `stage_name`, `age_seconds`, `sla_breached`.
**Team Middleware Fix**
- `RequireTeamAdmin` / `RequireTeamMember` system-admin bypass was dead code (`c.Get("role")` never set by auth middleware). Fixed to resolve `PermSurfaceAdminAccess` via `resolveAndCachePerms`. Variadic `allStores` parameter preserves backward compatibility.
**Team Workflow Inbox**
- Enhanced `AssignmentsTab` in team-admin: "My Active" (claimed) and "Available" (unassigned) sections with claim/unclaim/release/work/complete actions, time-ago display, WS live updates.
- Manual "Assign" button on unassigned rows with team member dropdown. New `POST /api/v1/assignments/:id/assign` endpoint.
**Assignment Notifications**
- Engine calls `notifyAssignment()` on assignment creation — notifies specific user or all team members via notification system.
**SDK Gap Closure**
- Added `workflowAssignments` domain (claim/unclaim/complete/cancel/assign/mine)
- Added `teams.assignments`, `teams.workflowInstances`, `teams.cancelWorkflowInstance`
- Fixed dead `workflows.cancel` route referencing `/channels/`
**E2E Test**
- `ci/e2e-workflow-handoff.sh`: public form → team review → claim → complete. Verifies audience mismatch screen, assignment creation, full lifecycle.
---
## v0.7.9 — Workflow Independence Audit
Workflows proven independent of chat and all optional packages. Critical
rendering bugs fixed, dead chat UI removed, deferred test debt closed.
**RenderWorkflow Fix (critical)**
- `RenderWorkflow()` was a stub that never loaded instance/stage data — post-start page was broken. Now loads instance by token/ID, resolves current stage, populates all template fields.
- `WorkflowPageData` fields renamed: `ChannelID` → `EntryToken`, `ChannelTitle` → `WorkflowTitle`, `ChannelDescription` → `WorkflowDescription` (vestigial chat-era names)
- Stage modes aligned: template uses Go constants (`form`, `review`, `delegated`, `automated`) instead of legacy `form_only`/`form_chat`
- Dead chat UI removed: chat CSS, split layout, `sendMessage()`, fallback chat branch (~180 lines deleted from `workflow.html`)
- Landing page mode conditionals updated to match Go constants
- OpenAPI `stage_mode` enum corrected (4 occurrences)
**Bug Fixes (found during verification)**
- Entry token resolution: handler passed route param (instance ID) as entry token to JS. Fixed: resolve actual token from `inst.EntryToken` + `?token=` query param.
- Fieldset submit guard: `submitForm()` checked `FORM_TPL.fields` but not `.fieldsets` — progressive forms silently no-op'd. Fixed: accept either.
- Stage advance status check: JS checked `result.status === 'advanced'` but API returns `active`/`completed`. Fixed: on 200 OK with `active`, reload to render next stage.
**Deferred test coverage (carried from v0.7.6)**
- 17 new SQLite store tests: workflow CRUD, stages, instances, lifecycle (advance/complete/cancel/stale), team scope, API tokens, users, groups
- `InstallPackage` decomposed from 400-line monolith into 7 private methods: `receiveUpload`, `parseAndValidateArchive`, `extractPackageAssets`, `registerPackage`, `applySchemaAndPermissions`, `resolveDependencies`, `checkCapabilities`
- `ci/e2e-workflow-nochat.sh` — E2E test for workflow lifecycle without chat
**Discovered issues (deferred to v0.7.10)**
- Public→authenticated stage handoff: visitor sees auth-gated stage form instead of "submitted" screen
- Team member pickup UI: no surface for claiming workflow instances
- Assignment flow: no admin UI for manual instance assignment
**Tests:** 17 new store tests, 1 new E2E script
---
## v0.7.8 — Bug Fixes & Admin Gaps
- `StartBySlug` handler + `/api/v1/workflow-entry/:scope/:slug` route for landing page Start button
- Workflow delete guard: admin endpoint rejects team-scoped workflows (403)
- Package button cleanup: Delete hidden for bundled packages
- Package export: `fetch()` with auth token instead of `window.open()`
- Settings CSS: bottom padding fix for save button cutoff
- Shared `StageForm` component between admin and team-admin; public entry URL with copy button
---
## v0.7.7 — API Tokens + Extension Permissions
Personal access tokens (PATs) for programmatic API access, plus extension-declared
user permissions for backend RBAC enforcement.
**API Tokens (PATs)**
- Migration 015: `api_tokens` table (PG + SQLite) with SHA-256 hash, prefix, JSON permissions, expiry
- Token store interface + PG/SQLite implementations (Create, GetByHash, ListForUser, Revoke, CleanExpired, UpdateLastUsed)
- `POST /api/v1/auth/tokens` — create token (returns plaintext once), permissions validated as subset of user's
- `GET /api/v1/auth/tokens` — list my tokens; `DELETE /api/v1/auth/tokens/:id` — revoke
- `POST /api/v1/admin/tokens` — create token for any user (audit logged as `admin.token.create`)
- Auth middleware: `Bearer arm_pat_...` tokens validated alongside JWTs, user active check, fire-and-forget `last_used_at` update
- Permission scoping: PAT permissions used directly at request time (git model — retained until revoked)
- `auth.HashToken()` shared SHA-256 utility (replaces local `hashToken()` in auth.go)
- Settings UI: API Tokens tab with create form, permission checkboxes, copy-once display, revoke button
- Admin UI: "PAT" button on user rows creates tokens for any user
- `BootstrapPAT`: `ARMATURE_BOOTSTRAP_PAT=true` env var creates admin PAT at startup, writes to `/tmp/armature-admin-pat.txt`
- E2E smoke test: reads bootstrap PAT before falling back to login flow
**Extension-Declared User Permissions**
- Dynamic permission registry: `RegisterExtensionPermissions()` / `UnregisterExtensionPermissions()` with RWMutex
- `AllPermissionsWithExtensions()` returns kernel + extension permissions; `AllPermissionsGrouped()` for admin UI
- `user_permissions` manifest field: extensions declare user-facing permissions
- `gate_permission` manifest field: ext_api.go checks user permission before calling `on_request`
- `req["permissions"]` in Starlark request dict: user's effective permissions included for inline checks
- `permissions.check(user_id, perm)` Starlark module: read-only permission check, always available (no sandbox gate)
- Group UI: permissions grouped by source (Platform / package name) with section headings
- Boot-time scan: `RegisterAllExtensionUserPermissions()` populates registry from active packages
- Uninstall cleanup: `UnregisterExtensionPermissions()` called on package delete
**Tests:** 10 new tests (7 handler + 3 auth registry)
---
## v0.7.6 — Code Hygiene + Test Coverage
**Critical Fixes**
- Removed `channels` from `allowedViews` in `db_module.go` — `ext_view_channels` does not exist; `db.view("channels")` would crash
- Fixed 5 dead API routes in `workflow.html` — rewired to public workflow API (`/api/v1/public/workflows/`)
- Fixed `RenderWorkflow` handler to pass route `:id` param as entry token (was reading unset `channel_id`)
**Dead Code Removal**
- Deleted `SeedTestChannel()` from `database/testhelper.go` (inserted into nonexistent channels table)
- Removed `RunContext.ChannelID` from `sandbox/runner.go` (vestigial, unused)
- Removed `webhook.Payload.ChannelID` field (channels no longer exist — breaking webhook JSON change)
- Fixed stale comments in `storage.go`, `prometheus.go`, `workflow_module.go` referencing dead `/channels` paths
**Migration Hygiene**
- Added SQLite placeholder `013_cluster_registry.sql` (PG-only migration, aligns numbering)
- Renumbered SQLite `013_test_runner_type.sql` → `014` to match PG (compat rename in `migrate.go`)
- Documented missing migration 008 in both 009 files (merged into 007 during pre-1.0 consolidation)
**Test Coverage**
- 82 new workflow routing tests (`routing_test.go`): `ResolveNextStage`, `ResolveStageByName`, `ParseStageConfig`, `evaluateCondition` with all 10 operators
- 10 new middleware tests (`permissions_test.go`): `RequirePermission`, `RequireAdmin`, permission caching, `RateLimiter` (allow/deny/fail-open)
**Bug Fixes**
- Removed dead Admin "Storage" tab from System category (backend endpoint preserved for future Monitoring use)
- Fixed backup download: `sw.auth.token()` → `sw.auth._getToken()` — both "Download Backup" and server backup download now work
## v0.7.5 — Headless E2E + CI Gate
**CI Gating Redesign**
- `VERSION` and `scripts/*` no longer trigger frontend/backend tests — deploy-only (pipeline v0.18.0)
- `docs/*` changes now trigger build-and-deploy (docs are served in-app via Docs surface)
- Path gating comment block updated to reflect corrected model
**E2E Smoke Test**
- `ci/e2e-smoke-test.sh` — authenticates as admin, discovers surfaces, runs Playwright navigation test
- `ci/e2e-smoke-driver.js` — visits every surface, asserts shell topbar present, no JS console errors, home link works
- Screenshot-on-failure: full-page PNG + console log saved as CI artifacts
- Baseline screenshots captured for every surface (informational, not a gate)
**CI Pipeline Integration**
- `test-runners` stage re-enabled with broad trigger condition (BE/FE/packages/infra)
- New `e2e-smoke` stage: boots server via docker-compose, runs Playwright smoke test, failure blocks merge
- `docker-compose.ci.yml` gains `e2e-smoke` service (same Playwright v1.52.0 image)
- `build-and-deploy` now depends on both `test-runners` and `e2e-smoke`
**Documentation**
- `docs/DESIGN-storage-primitives.md` — v0.8.x storage primitives design (files module, workspace module, capability negotiation, vector columns)
- `docs/DESIGN-extension-composability.md` — v0.8.4 composability design (slots/contributes manifest fields, lib.require relaxation, SDK helpers)
- `ROADMAP.md` expanded through v1.0: v0.8.x storage primitives, v0.9.x reference extensions, v0.10.x sidecar tier, v1.0 gate criteria, design principles, full design decisions log
## v0.7.4 — Documentation + Deferred Surface Work
**Docs Category Grouping**
- Backend `Category` field on `docEntry` struct in `server/handlers/docs.go`
- Frontend sidebar groups docs by category with `.docs-category-heading` CSS
- Four categories: Getting Started, Platform, Extension Development, Operations
- 14 docs in ordered list (was 7 ordered + 3 auto-discovered)
**New Documentation (4 guides)**
- `PERMISSIONS-AND-GROUPS.md` — RBAC model, 7 permission slugs, system/custom groups, settings cascade, extension permissions
- `WORKFLOWS.md` — Entry modes, stage modes/types/audiences, signoff gates, SLA enforcement, branch rules, Starlark hooks
- `STARLARK-REFERENCE.md` — Sandbox constraints, 10 modules with function signatures and permission gates, example hook script
- `FRONTEND-JS-GUIDE.md` — Preact+htm runtime, 16 SDK modules with API reference, shell topbar patterns, CSS contract
**Extension Guide Updates**
- `config_section` manifest field documented: schema, backend discovery (`configSectionsForSurface()`), frontend `__CONFIG_SECTIONS__` contract, example component
- Starlark Sandbox API section replaced with pointer to new Starlark Reference
**Docs Content Refresh**
- GETTING-STARTED: `sb_data` → `armature_data` volume name
- ARCHITECTURE: `sb.register()`/`sb.ns()` → `sw` SDK references, shell topbar mention
- DEPLOYMENT: `sb_storage` → `armature_storage`, added `TLS_MODE` env var
- TUTORIAL-FIRST-EXTENSION: `--bg-2` → `--bg-secondary` CSS variable
- EXTENSION-CSS: self-hosted font notes on `--font` and `--mono`
- `docs.go`: added `AUDIT-` and `USABILITY-` prefix filters for auto-discovery
**Team Admin Workflows Split**
- `workflows.js` (722 lines) split into 3 ES modules:
- `workflows.js` (~160 lines) — `WorkflowsSection` + `WorkflowsTab` + imports
- `workflow-editor.js` (~240 lines) — `WorkflowEditor` + `StageForm`
- `workflow-monitor.js` (~210 lines) — `AssignmentsTab` + `MonitorTab` + `SignoffPanel`
- External import contract unchanged (default export stays in `workflows.js`)
**Bug Fixes**
- Docs outline `scrollToHeading` now scrolls `.docs-content` container instead of `scrollIntoView`, preventing topbar from being pushed off-screen
- `--bg-2` (undefined CSS variable) replaced with `--bg-secondary` in `sw-shell.css` and `sw-primitives.css`
## v0.7.3 — Extension Shell Migration
**Shell Topbar Migration**
- Migrated Chat, Notes, and Schedules from legacy `sw.shell.Topbar` component to the v0.7.0 shell topbar contract (`sw.shell.topbar.setTitle/setSlot`)
- Eliminated double topbar (shell-injected + surface-owned) on all three extension surfaces
- Chat: reactive slot updates for thread title + People button when conversation changes
- Notes: slot content for + New Note, Import .md, and Graph toggle buttons
- Schedules: reactive slot with schedule count and + New Schedule button; removed legacy fallback branch
**Runner Test Updates**
- Added `shell-topbar` test suite to chat-runner, notes-runner, and schedules-runner
- Tests fetch surface JS and assert: no legacy `sw.shell.Topbar` reference, uses `sw.shell.topbar.setTitle/setSlot` API
- 6 new tests across 3 runners
**Package Versions**
- Chat surface v0.3.0, Notes surface v0.9.0, Schedules surface v0.2.0
- Chat runner v0.2.0, Notes runner v0.2.0, Schedules runner v0.2.0
**Roadmap**
- Headless E2E automation moved to v0.7.5 (independent from shell migration)
## v0.7.2 — Package Runners + CI Gate
**Package Runners (5)**
- Notes runner: `requires: ["notes"]`. 3 suites (crud, folders, tags-search), 12 tests
- Chat runner: `requires: ["chat", "chat-core"]`. 2 suites (conversations, messaging), 9 tests
- Schedules runner: `requires: ["schedules"]`. 1 suite (crud), 5 tests
- Workflow runner: `requires: ["content-approval"]`. 1 suite (lifecycle), 5 tests
- Renderer runner: `requires: ["mermaid-renderer"]`. 1 suite (contract), 4 tests
**Runner Result API**
- `POST /api/v1/admin/test-runners/results` — store structured run results
- `GET /api/v1/admin/test-runners/results` — retrieve latest results per runner
- In-memory store with 4 Go handler tests
**CI Integration**
- `test-runners` stage in Gitea CI pipeline
- Playwright driver launches headless browser, navigates to `/s/test-runners`, triggers run-all
- `wait-for-healthy.sh` polls `/healthz/ready` before test execution
- DinD networking fix: resolve container IP via `docker inspect` (port mapping not exposed to runner localhost)
## v0.7.1 — Surface Runner Framework
**`sw.testing` SDK Module**
- New kernel SDK module at `src/js/sw/sdk/testing.js`
- `sw.testing.suite(name, fn)` — register test suites with lifecycle hooks
- `sw.testing.run(name?)` — execute one or all suites, returns structured JSON
- Suite context: `s.test()`, `s.beforeAll/afterAll()`, `s.beforeEach/afterEach()`, `s.track()`, `s.skip()`
- Test context: `t.assert.ok/eq/neq/gt/match/throws/status/shape/arrayOf`, `t.warn()`, `t.skip()`
- Auto-cleanup: `track(type, id)` registers resources for LIFO deletion in afterAll
- Three result statuses: passed / failed / warned — warnings are never silent
**`test-runner` Manifest Type**
- New `"type": "test-runner"` in `ValidateManifest` — surface-like packages discovered by type
- Test-runner packages excluded from sidebar nav (not type "surface" or "full")
- Runner manifests support `"requires": [...]` — missing packages → clean skip
**ICD Runner Migration**
- Migrated from hand-rolled `T.test()`/`T.assert()` framework to `sw.testing.suite()`
- Stripped extension-dependent tests (channels, notes, personas, etc.) — those belong in v0.7.2 package runners
- Kernel-only suites: smoke, crud (admin, profile, notifications, teams, workflows, extensions, surfaces, packages), authz, security, providers, packaging, sdk
- Type changed to `"test-runner"`, standalone route removed, UI rendering delegated to registry
**SDK Runner Migration**
- Migrated from `T.dualTest()`/`T.domains` framework to `sw.testing.suite()`
- Dual-path validation preserved: SDK call + raw ICD fetch + verdict dispatch
- Stripped extension domains — kernel-only suites: misc, workflows, admin, packages, connections, dependencies, composition
- SHAPE_BUG verdict maps to `t.warn()`, SDK_BUG/ICD_BUG to `t.assert.ok(false)`
**Runner Registry Surface**
- New `test-runners` surface at `/s/test-runners` (admin-only)
- Discovers installed test-runner packages via admin packages API
- Dynamically loads each runner's JS to register suites
- Run All button, per-runner Run button, real-time results dashboard
- Suite/test results with pass/fail/warn/skip color coding, timing, error details
- Export Failures / Export Full Results buttons for JSON download
- `requires` checking with prominent skip display for missing dependencies
- Dark mode styling using kernel CSS variables
**Database Migration**
- SQLite migration 013: adds `test-runner` to packages.type CHECK constraint
- Postgres migration 014: same constraint update
## v0.7.0 — Shell Contract + Surface Audit + Rebrand
**Shell Infrastructure**
- Kernel-injected two-slot topbar for all surfaces (home, left slot, center slot, bell, user menu)
- `sw.shell.topbar` SDK API: `setLeft()`, `setSlot()`, `setTitle()`, `hide()`, `show()`
- `.sw-topbar__tabs` / `.sw-topbar__tab` CSS classes for consistent tab styling
- Shell topbar auto-mounts on extension surfaces via `#shell-topbar` div
**Backend WS Events**
- `package.changed` event broadcast on install/uninstall/enable/disable/update
- `auth.changed` event targeted to affected user on team/group membership changes
- `notification.all_read` event split from `notification.read` for cleaner badge sync
- `Hub.Broadcast()` method for untargeted all-client events
**User Menu + Bell Reactivity**
- User menu re-fetches surface list on `package.changed` and `auth.changed` events
- Notification bell syncs on `notification.read` and `notification.all_read` across tabs
**Surface Migrations**
- Settings: Pattern B (flat tabs in topbar, no sidebar, full-width content)
- Admin: Pattern C (category tabs in topbar, surface-owned sidebar below)
- Team Admin: Pattern B (flat tabs, no sidebar, Groups tab removed)
- Docs: Pattern A (shell topbar auto-renders, removed explicit Topbar import)
- All 4 surfaces now have notification bell and user menu via shell topbar
**Error Handling + Empty States**
- `.sw-inline-error` CSS primitive for inline error + retry pattern
- `.sw-empty-state` CSS primitive for guided empty states
- Admin Workflows, Packages, Groups: inline error on list fetch failure

## v0.6.18 — CI Bundle Wiring
Wire `BUNDLED_PACKAGES` env var into the Gitea CI pipeline so each
environment gets the correct package set at boot.
### Changed
- **CI: dev deploys** — `BUNDLED_PACKAGES=*` (install all, matches docker-compose default).
- **CI: test deploys** — `BUNDLED_PACKAGES=notes,chat,chat-core` (core surfaces only).
- **CI: prod deploys** — `BUNDLED_PACKAGES=notes,chat,chat-core,mermaid-renderer,schedules`.
- **docker-compose.yml** — default `BUNDLED_PACKAGES` changed from empty to `*` (install all for local dev).
### Fixed
- **TestBundledInstall_DefaultAllowlist** — updated test assertions to match v0.6.17's empty default set (was still expecting `notes` in curated defaults).
## v0.6.17 — Bug Fixes & Welcome Logic
Fixes broken UI interactions (folder creation, team member add), dropdown
overflow, welcome surface auto-disable, and bare-install default behavior.
### Fixed
- **Notes "Add folder" button** — `prompt()` replaced with `sw.prompt()`
so the dialog renders correctly in the extension iframe sandbox.
- **Admin "Add team members"** — user list API returns `{data:[…]}`; handler
now unwraps the envelope (`Array.isArray(u) ? u : u.data`) so the user
picker populates.
- **Package filter dropdown overflow** — removed `right:0` constraint on
`.sw-dropdown__list`, added `min-width:max-content` and `overflow-x:hidden`
so option labels ("Extension", "Workflow") render fully without a scrollbar.
- **Admin actions cell wrapping** — switched `.admin-actions-cell` from
`white-space:nowrap` to flexbox with `flex-wrap:wrap; gap:4px` so buttons
don't overflow on narrow viewports.
### Changed
- **Welcome surface auto-disable** — welcome page now redirects to `/` when
any non-core extension surface is installed. Removed from the topbar
navigation surface list so it never appears alongside real surfaces.
- **Zero default bundled packages** — `defaultBundledPackages` map is now
empty. Fresh installs start bare; use `BUNDLED_PACKAGES` env var to control
what gets auto-installed per environment (`*` for all, comma-separated list
for selective).
- **Bundled filter logic** — `nil` (from `*`) means install all; empty map
(default) means install nothing. Previous code treated both as "install all".
- **User menu conditional items** — Docs, Settings, and Team Admin menu
entries only appear when those surfaces are actually enabled, not assumed.
- **SDK imperative host mount** — `ToastContainer` and `DialogStack` are now
auto-mounted by the SDK boot sequence for extension surfaces that lack an
AppShell, preventing missing toast/dialog hosts.
## v0.6.16 — Usability Survey Gate
Machine-auditable UI quality gate. Four new audit scripts, a structured survey
prompt, contrast and touch-target fixes, and Docker Hub documentation correction.
### Added
- **`scripts/generate-ui-inventory.sh`** — walks all kernel + package CSS,
extracts every class selector with surface, line number, responsive breakpoints,
spacing tokens, and font-size usage. Outputs `ui-inventory.json` (1567 entries).
- **`scripts/check-contrast.sh`** — parses `variables.css` dark/light token
pairs, computes WCAG AA contrast ratios for 24 semantic text-on-background
pairings per theme (48 total). Uses AA (4.5:1) for normal text, AA-lg (3.0:1)
for large/bold text contexts.
- **`scripts/generate-coverage-matrix.sh`** — 12 kernel primitives × all surfaces
markdown table. Flags any deprecated component usage (`.btn-primary`, etc.).
- **`scripts/audit-touch-targets.sh`** — static analysis for 44px minimum mobile
touch targets on close buttons and interactive elements.
- **`docs/USABILITY-SURVEY.md`** — structured 8-section prompt (viewport, banners,
responsive, styling, contrast, touch targets, focus indicators, component
uniformity) with pass/fail criteria and file paths for automated execution.
- **Focus indicators** — `:focus-visible` styles on `.sw-btn`, `.sw-input`,
`.sw-dropdown__trigger`, `.sw-menu__item`, `.sw-tabs__tab`.
- **Mobile touch targets** — `min-width/min-height: 44px` in `@media (max-width:
768px)` for `.sw-banner__close`, `.sw-toast__close`, `.sw-dialog__close`,
`.sw-drawer__close`, `.sw-tabs__arrow`, `.modal-close`, `.sw-tabs__tab`,
`.sw-dropdown__option`.
### Fixed
- **WCAG contrast violations** — dark-mode accent darkened from `#6c9fff` to
`#6493ed` (3.03:1 with white text), dark-mode success from `#22c55e` to
`#1dab51` (3.00:1). Light-mode `--text-3` darkened from `#8b8da3` to `#787a92`.
Light-mode `--success-light` and `--warning-light` darkened for badge contrast.
All 48 pairings now pass.
- **Docker Hub references** — `docs/DEPLOYMENT.md` and `docs/DISTRIBUTION.md`
corrected from `ghcr.io/armature/armature` to `gobha/armature` (Docker Hub).
Builder image corrected to `gobha/armature-builder`. GitHub URL corrected to
`github.com/gobha/armature`.
## v0.6.15 — User Display Audit
Every user-facing identity surface now shows human-readable names instead of
UUIDs, with the canonical fallback chain: `display_name → username → "Unknown"`.
### Added
- **`GET /api/v1/users/resolve?ids=...`** — batch endpoint returns identity
records (username, display_name, handle, avatar_url) for up to 100 user IDs.
Response keyed by ID for O(1) client lookups.
- **`sw.users` SDK module** — `resolve(id)`, `resolveMany(ids)`,
`displayName(user)` with 60-second local cache. Surfaces use this instead
of ad-hoc lookups or stale snapshots.
- **5 handler tests** for the resolve endpoint (single, multiple, missing,
empty, no-param).
### Changed
- **Admin users list** — shows `display_name || username` as primary
identifier, with username shown as secondary when display_name is set.
- **Admin teams/groups member lists** — replaced `username || user_id`
with `display_name || username || 'Unknown'`.
- **Team-admin members** — dropdown and list now show display_name.
- **Chat participants** — resolved from users table via `sw.users.resolveMany()`
instead of relying on creation-time snapshot. Message sender names, typing
indicators, and participant sidebar all use resolved names.
- **Dashboard greeting** — added `|| 'Unknown'` terminal fallback.
- **Team activity log** — capitalized fallback to `'Unknown'`.
### Deprecated
- **`participants.display_name` column** in chat-core — column retained for
backward compatibility but UI no longer relies on snapshot values. Comments
added to `packages/chat-core/script.star` noting deprecation.
## v0.6.14 — Visual Polish
Systematic cleanup of stale values, self-hosted fonts, and rendering fixes.
Final visual pass before the v0.6.15 usability survey gate.
### Fixed
- **v0.6.13 spacing regressions** — added half-step tokens (`--sp-1h` 6px,
`--sp-2h` 10px) and restored correct padding on `.sw-btn--sm`, `.sw-input`,
`.sw-menu__item`, `.sw-dropdown__option`, `.sw-tabs__tab`.
- **Theme settings toggle** — showed resolved theme ("Dark") instead of stored
mode ("System"). Changed `appearance.js` to read `sw.theme.mode`.
- **Notes surface scrollbar** — added `overflow: hidden` to `.surface-inner`
in `base.html`, preventing spurious scrollbar at any scale.
- **Chat input clipped at high scale** — same `overflow: hidden` fix prevents
zoomed content from overflowing the surface container.
- **User menu drift at scale > 100%** — `menu.js` now divides
`getBoundingClientRect()` coords by the CSS zoom factor, fixing position
for `position: fixed` menus inside a zoomed ancestor.
- **Undefined variables** — `--text-secondary` (login), `--text-muted`
(user picker), `--text-1` (settings toggle) replaced with correct tokens.
### Changed
- **Stale fallback colors purged** — removed ~65 hex/rgba fallback values
from `var()` calls across 9 kernel CSS files and 3 extension packages.
Old gold theme color `#b38a4e` fully eliminated (9 instances).
- **Self-hosted fonts** — bundled DM Sans and JetBrains Mono woff2 files
in `src/fonts/`. Replaced Google Fonts `@import` and login.html ``
with local `@font-face` declarations. Zero external font dependencies.
- **Consistent border-radius** — added `--radius-sm: 4px` token. Migrated
~60 hardcoded `border-radius` values across all kernel CSS and 12 extension
packages to three tokens: `--radius-sm` (4px), `--radius` (8px),
`--radius-lg` (12px).
### Updated
- `docs/EXTENSION-CSS.md` — added `--sp-1h`, `--sp-2h` half-step tokens
and `--radius-sm` to the public CSS contract.
## v0.6.13 — Responsive & Spacing
Spacing token scale and tablet breakpoint. All kernel CSS and extension
packages migrated from hardcoded values to design tokens.
### Added
- **Spacing tokens** (`--sp-1` through `--sp-12`) — 4px-grid scale in
`variables.css`. Nine stops: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48px.
Numeric naming (`--sp-N`), rem-based for zoom/font-size respect.
- **Tablet breakpoint** (`max-width: 1024px`) — new responsive tier
between mobile (768px) and desktop. Secondary workspace pane narrows
to 360px, admin sidebar to 120px, settings/admin/editor navs shrink.
- **Breakpoint documentation** in `EXTENSION-CSS.md` — Mobile (768px),
Tablet (1024px), Desktop (default).
- **Spacing guidelines** in `EXTENSION-CSS.md` — token table with
computed pixel values and usage examples.
### Changed
- **8 kernel CSS files** migrated to spacing tokens — `sw-primitives.css`,
`modals.css`, `surfaces.css`, `layout.css`, `sw-shell.css`,
`primitives.css`, `user-menu.css`, `sw-login.css`. Hardcoded padding,
margin, and gap values replaced with `var(--sp-N)`.
- **12 extension packages** migrated — chat, dashboard, editor,
git-board, hello-dashboard, icd-test-runner, notes, schedules,
sdk-test-runner, tasks, team-activity-log, workflow-demo.
- **Login hero breakpoint** normalized from 900px to 1024px (tablet).
- **Notes mobile breakpoint** normalized from 700px to 768px (standard).
## v0.6.12 — Extension CSS Isolation
Prefix enforcement prevents extension CSS from leaking into the kernel or
sibling extensions. All 12 in-tree packages migrated to `.ext-{slug}-*`
naming convention.
### Added
- **`data-ext` attribute** on extension mount container — enables scoped
selectors like `[data-ext="chat"] .ext-chat-app`.
- **CSS linter** (`scripts/lint-package-css.sh`) — validates that the first
class selector in every extension CSS rule starts with `.ext-{slug}`.
Exempts `:root`, `@keyframes`, `@font-face`, `@media`, kernel `.sw-*`
classes, and CodeMirror `.cm-*` classes.
- **Kernel CSS contract** (`docs/EXTENSION-CSS.md`) — documents stable
public classes and CSS variables that extensions may reference. Everything
else is internal kernel CSS.
### Changed
- **12 packages migrated** — all class selectors renamed to `.ext-{slug}-*`:
chat, dashboard, editor, git-board, hello-dashboard, icd-test-runner,
notes, schedules, sdk-test-runner, tasks, team-activity-log, workflow-demo.
CSS and JS files updated in lockstep.
- **`icd-test-runner`** — ID selectors (`#extension-mount`) converted to
class-based selectors with proper prefix.
- **`editor` cross-references** — compound selectors referencing notes
classes updated to new `.ext-notes-*` names.
- **`chat` kernel overrides** — `.sw-dialog:has(...)` override scoped under
`[data-ext="chat"]` instead of global.
## v0.6.11 — CSS Deduplication
One class per concept. The old `primitives.css` button, toast, popup-menu,
dropdown, and tabs systems are retired. `sw-primitives.css` is the single
source of truth for all Preact component styles.
### Changed
- **Buttons**: All 29 files migrated from `.btn-primary` / `.btn-small` /
`.btn-danger` / `.btn-ghost` / `.btn-md` / `.btn-sm` to the BEM-style
`.sw-btn .sw-btn--{variant} .sw-btn--{size}` system.
- **Toasts**: Old `.toast-container` / `.toast` CSS deleted. SDK's
`sw.toast()` API already used `.sw-toast-*` classes — no JS changes.
- **Popup menus**: Old `.popup-menu` / `.popup-menu-item` CSS deleted
(unused — `.sw-menu` is the active system).
- **Dropdown collision resolved**: Old `.sw-dropdown` (styled `
