core/CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

All notable changes to Switchboard Core are documented here.

v0.4.0 — Notes Surface

Added

• Notes surface package (packages/notes/): Obsidian-style markdown notes rebuilt as a standard installable .pkg archive. Type full, tier starlark. Zero kernel changes — proves the extension stack end-to-end.
• Starlark backend (script.star): 7 API routes — CRUD, search, stats. Note bodies stored in ext_notes_notes TEXT columns. List endpoint returns lightweight projections (no body); full content fetched on select.
• Markdown editor: Preact+htm frontend with sidebar note list, monospace textarea, and toggle-able live preview. Inline markdown renderer (~100 lines) covers headings, bold, italic, code blocks, links, lists, blockquotes, and HR.
• Auto-save: Debounced save (1s) with dirty/saved status indicator. Ctrl/Cmd+S for force save. Tab key inserts two spaces.
• Pin & archive: Pin important notes to the top of the list. Archive (soft-delete) via the delete button; hard delete with ?hard=1 query param.
• Search: Case-insensitive full-text search across title and body content. Search bar in sidebar filters the note list in real-time.
• Theme support: All styles use CSS variables — light and dark themes work out of the box. Responsive layout collapses to vertical on narrow viewports.

Data model

Table	Columns
ext_notes_notes	title, body, folder_id, creator_id, updated_at, pinned, archived

Indexes on folder_id, creator_id, pinned, updated_at.

Planned (v0.4.1–v0.4.4)

• Folders + navigation tree
• Tags + enhanced search
• Backlinks + [[wikilinks]]
• Rich editor (CodeMirror 6) + markdown import/export

v0.3.8 — Distribution

Added

• Bundled packages: Production Docker image now ships with 12 pre-built .pkg archives (4 workflows, 3 surfaces, 1 full, 1 library, 2 test runners, 1 extension). Auto-installed on first boot via InstallBundledPackages(). Install-once, skip-if-present — admin uninstalls are respected on restart.
• Package allowlist (BUNDLED_PACKAGES): Comma-separated list of package IDs to install. Empty (default) installs all. Useful for Helm/K8s where different environments need different packages.
• Skip bundled (SKIP_BUNDLED_PACKAGES=true): Disables auto-install entirely. Intended for production until post-MVP packages are ready.
• Builder image (Dockerfile.builder): Pre-caches Go modules, Node dependencies, and vendor lib tarballs for faster custom builds.
• Distribution docs (docs/DISTRIBUTION.md): Quick start, bundled packages, builder image usage, custom build guide, production deployment reference.
• Migration 012: Adds bundled to packages.source CHECK constraint (both Postgres and SQLite).
• K8s manifest: SKIP_BUNDLED_PACKAGES and BUNDLED_PACKAGES env vars added to k8s/switchboard.yaml.
• Tests: 6 handler tests (fresh install, skip existing, missing dir, empty dir, dormant handling, allowlist filtering).

Environment defaults

Environment	SKIP_BUNDLED_PACKAGES	BUNDLED_PACKAGES
Dev (compose)	false	(empty = all)
Test (K8s)	false	(empty = all)
Prod (K8s)	true	—

v0.3.7 — Package Audit

Added

• Dormant status: New dormant value in packages.status CHECK constraint (both Postgres and SQLite). Installer auto-detects packages with unmet requires entries and sets status=dormant, enabled=false. Enable endpoint returns 409 for dormant packages.
• Generalized requires check: Any unmet requirement triggers dormant status, not just specific values. Known capabilities checked against a whitelist; anything unknown is unmet.
• Admin UI indicators: Dormant badge, disabled Enable button with tooltip, Dormant stat card in packages admin view.
• Tests: 4 new handler tests covering dormant status, enable blocking, surface exclusion, and admin list inclusion.

Fixed

• Manifest fixes: Fixed 6 chat-extension manifests ("name" → "title") that were blocking install. Added explicit "type": "surface" to hello-dashboard, icd-test-runner, sdk-test-runner.
• Dashboard + Editor tagged dormant: Both depend on removed sw.* imperative SDK (sw.tabs, sw.chat, sw.layout, etc.) — render blank. Tagged with requires: ["legacy-sdk"] so installer auto-sets dormant.
• Dependency check: Relaxed library dependency validation to allow pending_review libraries (gitea-client declares permissions). Only suspended/dormant libraries blocked.

Package Audit Results

• 7 working surfaces: schedules, tasks, team-activity-log, git-board, hello-dashboard, icd-test-runner, sdk-test-runner
• 8 dormant: 6 chat-dependent (csv-table, diff-viewer, js-sandbox, katex-renderer, mermaid-renderer, regex-tester) + 2 legacy-sdk (dashboard, editor)
• 1 library: gitea-client (standalone, active)

v0.3.6 — Example Workflows + Interactive Demo

Added

• Bug Report Triage (packages/bug-report-triage): Public entry, progressive fieldsets, severity-based branch routing, SLA timer (3600s on critical fix).
• Employee Onboarding (packages/employee-onboarding): Starlark automated stages (db.insert, notifications.send), manager signoff gate with required_role, rejection reroute. script.star with on_provision and on_welcome hooks. Creates provisions and onboarding_log ext_data tables.
• Content Approval (packages/content-approval): Multi-party signoff (quorum of 2), rejection reroute creating a review cycle loop.
• Webhook Notifier (packages/webhook-notifier): Starlark http.post with connections.get fallback, delivery logging to webhook_log ext_data table.
• Workflow Demo surface (packages/workflow-demo): Interactive walkthrough with workflow cards, stage flow diagrams, Starlark viewer, API curl examples, and "Try It" buttons. Route: /s/workflow-demo.
• Engine context fix: started_by added to automated stage Starlark context dict, enabling hooks to reference the workflow initiator.
• SLA package installer: sla_seconds field added to workflowPkgStage struct and wired in both install and export paths.
• Snapshot format fix: parseSnapshotStages helper handles both wrapped ({"stages":[...]}) and legacy flat array snapshot formats in the engine, fixing corrupt version snapshot errors when starting published workflows.
• Workflow adoption: POST /teams/:teamId/workflows/:id/adopt claims a global (team_id=NULL) workflow for a team. GET /teams/:teamId/workflows/available lists adoptable workflows. TeamID added to WorkflowPatch model.
• Tests: 3 new engine tests (automated context, SLA install, manifest roundtrip). Total: 142 handler tests passing.
• Per-package README.md files for all 5 new packages.

Fixed

• Demo surface: Added sw.userMenu to topbar. Fixed workflow install detection (was reading wrong response key). CSS uses theme variables for dark mode support.
• Admin teams tab: Extracted .data from paginated response — was stuck at loading because setTeams received the envelope object, not the array.
• Team-admin workflows: Added "Adopt Global" button to claim package-installed workflows into a team scope. Workflow list now unwraps paginated responses.

v0.3.5 — Settings Audit + ICD + Tests + Clone

Added

• Clone endpoint: POST /api/v1/workflows/:id/clone deep-copies a workflow and all its stages. Creates an inactive draft with "Copy of" prefix. Handles slug collisions with auto-suffix. Team-scoped mirror at /api/v1/teams/:teamId/workflows/:id/clone.
• Integration tests: 7 new engine-level tests in workflow_engine_test.go covering full lifecycle, branch routing, public entry, signoff validation gate, signoff rejection, cancel-clears-assignments, and error cases. Total: 28 tests.
• Staleness timeout UI: staleness_timeout_hours input added to workflow editor in team-admin settings (was backend-only since v0.3.3).
• Branch rules UI: Collapsible JSON textarea in stage form for configuring conditional routing rules (was backend-only since v0.3.2).

Changed

• ICD (OpenAPI spec): Fixed stale Workflow schema (added description, branding, is_active, on_complete, retention, staleness_timeout_hours). Fixed stale Stage schema (removed history_mode/transition_rules, updated stage_mode enum to [form, review, delegated, automated], added audience, stage_type, starlark_hook, branch_rules, stage_config, sla_seconds, auto_transition, assignment_team_id, surface_pkg_id). Added WorkflowInstance, WorkflowAssignment, WorkflowSignoff schemas. Added ~20 new endpoint paths: instances, assignments, signoffs, public entry, clone, and team roles. Added tags: Workflow Instances, Workflow Assignments, Workflow Signoffs, Public Workflows.

v0.3.4 — Team Roles + Multi-party Validation

Added

• Custom team roles: Removed CHECK (role IN ('admin','member')) constraint from team_members (both Postgres and SQLite). Custom roles are stored in teams.settings["roles"] as a JSON array. Builtins admin and member are always present.
• Team roles API: GET /api/v1/teams/:teamId/roles returns configured roles. PUT /api/v1/teams/:teamId/roles replaces the roles array (builtins enforced).
• Role-based stage assignment: stage_config.required_role restricts which team members can claim an assignment. CheckClaimRole verifies the user's team membership role before allowing claim; rolls back on mismatch (403).
• Multi-party sign-off: New workflow_signoffs table with UNIQUE(instance_id, stage, user_id) preventing double-signing. StageConfig.validation supports required_approvals, required_role, and reject_action (cancel or reroute to named stage).
• Validation gate: advanceInternal blocks stage advancement until the required number of approvals is met. Rejections trigger cancel or reroute based on reject_action.
• Engine.SubmitSignoff: Records approval/rejection, enforces signoff role if configured, emits workflow.signoff event.
• Signoff HTTP API: POST /api/v1/instances/:iid/signoffs (submit), GET /api/v1/instances/:iid/signoffs (list current stage signoffs). Team-scoped mirrors at /api/v1/teams/:teamId/instances/:iid/signoffs.
• New events: workflow.signoff, workflow.rejected.
• Frontend — Members page: Dynamic role selects populated from team roles API. "Manage Roles" panel for adding/removing custom roles inline.
• Frontend — Stage editor: "Required Role (claim)" dropdown and "Multi-party Validation" section (required approvals, signoff role, on reject action) appear when a team is selected for the stage.
• Frontend — Monitor tab: Signoff panel with approve/reject buttons, comment field, and approval progress display.
• 3 new store tests: CreateSignoff (with UNIQUE constraint check), ListSignoffs (ordering), CountSignoffs (decision filter). 20 total, all passing.
• Design doc: docs/DESIGN-EXTENSION-LIFECYCLE.md — permanent vs PoC packages, graduation criteria, explicit install model.
• Design doc: docs/DESIGN-TRIGGER-COMPOSITION.md — triggers/schedules can start workflows, workflows emit events, no circular invocation.

Changed

• addMemberRequest and updateMemberRequest binding relaxed from oneof=admin member to required,min=1,max=50 with application-level validation against the team's configured roles.
• TruncateAll test helper updated to include workflow_signoffs.

---

v0.3.3 — Public Entry + Background Jobs

Added

• Public workflow entry: Unauthenticated routes for anonymous workflow participation. POST /api/v1/public/workflows/:id/start creates an instance with started_by = "public:<uuid>" and returns an entry token. GET .../resume/:token and POST .../advance/:token allow continuation. Only stages with audience = "public" can be advanced anonymously.
• SLA scanner: Background goroutine (5-minute interval) checks active instances against per-stage sla_seconds. Fires workflow.sla_breach event on first breach, marks sla_breached: true in instance metadata (idempotent).
• Staleness sweep: New staleness_timeout_hours column on workflows. Scanner marks instances as stale when updated_at exceeds the threshold, cancels open assignments, fires workflow.stale event.
• New store methods: ListActiveInstances(), MarkInstanceStale().
• New events: workflow.sla_breach, workflow.stale.
• 3 new store tests: MarkStale, ListActive, StalenessTimeoutHours round-trip.

---

v0.3.2 — Workflow Engine

Added

• Stage execution engine: server/workflow/engine.go — Start, Advance (with branch_rules conditional routing), and Cancel operations. Merges stage_data across stages, creates assignments, emits lifecycle events.
• Automated stage handler: server/workflow/automated.go — fires Starlark hook, auto-advances on success, cycle guard (max 10 consecutive automated stages).
• Instance HTTP API: Start, GetInstance, Advance, Cancel, ListInstances. Team-scoped mirrors under /api/v1/teams/:teamId/workflows/.
• Assignment HTTP API: Claim, Unclaim, Complete, Cancel, ListByTeam, ListMine. Claimer identity verification on unclaim/complete.
• Starlark module expansion: workflow.get_instance(), workflow.list_instances() (read-only).
• 14 store tests covering all 15 v0.3.1 methods (instance + assignment CRUD). All passing.

---

v0.3.1 — Instance Assignment

Added

• workflow_instances table: Tracks workflow execution state — workflow_version, current_stage, stage_data, status, entry_token.
• workflow_assignments table: Per-stage queue for instance assignments — instance_id, stage, team_id, assigned_to, status, review_data. Optimistic claim locking via status transition.
• 15 new store methods: Full CRUD for instances (Create, Get, GetByToken, Update, List, AdvanceStage, Complete, Cancel) and assignments (Create, Claim, Unclaim, Complete, Cancel, ListByTeam, ListByInstance, ListByUser).
• New events: workflow.started, workflow.cancelled, workflow.error.

---

v0.3.0 — Workflow Schema Redesign

Changed

• workflow_stages schema modernized: Dropped chat-era columns (persona_id, history_mode). Renamed transition_rules → stage_config. Updated stage_mode CHECK from (form_only, form_chat, review, custom) to (form, review, delegated, automated).
• New stage fields: Added audience (team | public | system), stage_type (simple | dynamic | automated), starlark_hook (package_id:entry_point), and branch_rules (JSONB array of routing conditions).
• Routing engine: ResolveNextStage now reads branch_rules (flat array) instead of transition_rules.conditions (nested object). Cleaner separation between routing rules and stage config.
• Hook handler: FireOnAdvanceHook reads from stage_config instead of transition_rules. Renamed channelID parameter to instanceID.
• Stage CRUD validation: New fields validated on create/update. delegated mode requires surface_pkg_id. dynamic/automated stage_type requires starlark_hook.
• Package export/import: Updated to use new field names. Workflow packages now include audience, stage_type, starlark_hook, branch_rules, stage_config.
• Starlark workflow module: Stage dicts now include audience and stage_type keys. Removed history_mode and persona_id.
• Frontend stage editor: Both admin and team-admin surfaces updated with new mode values, audience selector, stage type selector, and conditional Starlark hook input. Fixed pre-existing bug in admin workflows.js where STAGE_MODES still contained chat_only.

Removed

• persona_id column from workflow_stages (personas are extension concerns)
• history_mode column from workflow_stages (chat-era context management)
• StageModeCustom, StageModeFormOnly, StageModeFormChat Go constants

---

v0.2.9 — Builtin Extension Retirement

Changed

• 6 builtin extensions → standard packages: csv-table, diff-viewer, js-sandbox, katex-renderer, mermaid-renderer, and regex-tester moved from extensions/builtin/ to packages/ with standard js/ layout. Each manifest now declares "requires": ["chat"] and "type": "extension". Built via build.sh like all other packages — no auto-install.

Removed

• SeedBuiltinPackages seeder: Deleted seed_packages.go (function, builtinManifest struct, buildFullManifest helper) and the startup call in main.go. Extensions are no longer auto-seeded into the DB.
• extensions/builtin/ directory: Removed from repo and Dockerfile COPY.
• Seed tests: Removed 8 TestSeed_* functions and makeSeedDir helper from extension_test.go (~220 lines).
• Stale comments: Removed SeedBuiltinPackages references from package_iface.go and trigger_sync.go.

---

v0.2.8 — Team Admin Settings Audit (Pass 1)

Removed

• Dead HasPrivateProviderRequirement: Store method checked team settings for require_private_providers (BYOK vestige). Removed from interface, PostgreSQL, and SQLite implementations. No callers existed.
• Dead UserRole field on TeamMember: Joined users.role column (deprecated in v0.2.0 RBAC migration). Removed from model, ListMembers and GetMember queries in both stores. Frontend never consumed it.
• Dead allow_team_providers policy: Removed from PolicyDefaults, both test seed data blocks, and ICD test assertions. No handler or UI read it.
• Dead personas in workflow stage UI: Removed sw.api.teams.personas() call (endpoint doesn't exist), personas state, persona dropdown in StageForm, and persona badge in stage list.
• Dead history_mode in stage UI: Removed history mode selector and state from StageForm. Backend column retained for v0.3.x schema migration.
• Dead ICD tests: Removed assertions for /teams/:teamId/personas, /teams/:teamId/providers, and /teams/:teamId/models — endpoints were removed in Phase 0 fork.
• Stale chat_only stage mode: Frontend STAGE_MODES updated from ['chat_only', 'form_only', 'form_chat', 'review'] to ['form_only', 'form_chat', 'review', 'custom'] matching the backend CHECK constraint.
• Stale comments: Removed references to deleted team_providers.go, personas.go, and apiconfigs.go files.

---

v0.2.7 — User Settings Audit

Changed

• localStorage namespace: Renamed cs-appearance key to sb-appearance across appearance settings, base template, and workflow template. One-time migration preserves existing user preferences.
• Policy-gating tests: Replaced stale allow_user_byok / allow_user_personas assertions with allow_registration check (the only policy still in admin UI).

Removed

• Dead BYOK nav section in user settings: empty BYOK_ITEMS array, byokEnabled state, "BYOK Enabled" footer badge, and the nav group that rendered an empty section.
• Dead personas gate: personasEnabled state and .filter() on NAV_ITEMS for a gate property no items have. auth.permissions.changed listener removed (existed solely for BYOK + personas state).
• Dead Message Font Size: Slider, msgFont state, and --msg-font CSS variable application from appearance section and base template.
• Dead policy defaults: allow_user_byok and allow_user_personas removed from PolicyDefaults, profile bootstrap, permissions handler, and PublicSettings. Test seed data cleaned.

---

v0.2.6 — Admin Settings Audit

Changed

• Roadmap reorder: Extension Lifecycle moved from v0.2.6 to v0.3.x (Workflows series). Settings audit milestones renumbered: v0.2.7→v0.2.6, v0.2.8→v0.2.7, v0.2.9→v0.2.8. Added v0.2.9 for builtin extension retirement (chat-centric extensions dormant until chat surface ships).

Removed

• Dead admin section categories in sectionCategory(): AI (providers, models, personas, roles, knowledgeBases, memory), routing (health, routing, capabilities), and channels. Default category changed from ai to system.
• Dead PublicSettings fields: system_prompt/has_admin_prompt, retention_ttl_days, paste_to_file_chars, allow_user_personas policy — all chat-era with no frontend consumers.
• Dead PolicyDefaults: allow_raw_model_access, default_model.
• Dead policy lookups: allow_raw_model_access and kb_direct_access from profile bootstrap and permissions handlers.
• Dead test seed data: model_roles global setting, allow_raw_model_access policy from test helper.
• Dead CORE_IDS entry: Removed chat from packages admin page.

---

[Unreleased] — v0.2.5

Added

• Welcome surface: New core surface shown as fallback. Detects whether extensions exist (shows "Set Default Surface") vs truly empty install (shows "Go to Packages"). Topbar + UserMenu included.
• User default surface: Users can set a personal landing page in Settings > General, overriding the admin-configured global default.
• UserMenu in admin topbar: Replaced Back button with UserMenu, providing consistent surface navigation and eliminating infinite loops.
• Package manifest icons: Added emoji icons to hello-dashboard, icd-test-runner, sdk-test-runner, and team-activity-log manifests.
• PoC documentation: README.md for tasks and schedules packages documenting Proof of Concept status and graduation criteria.

Changed

• Default surface resolution: Priority chain is now user preference → global config → first extension → /welcome. User preference read from JWT cookie on unauthenticated / route. Correctly resolves type: "full" extension packages (not just type: "surface").
• User settings General section: Replaced dead chat fields (Default Model, System Prompt, Max Tokens, Temperature, Show Thinking) with a Default Surface dropdown.
• Admin settings: Removed dead chat sections (System Prompt, Default Model, Policies, Web Search, Auto-Compaction, Memory Extraction).
• Roadmap restructured: Workflows → v0.3.x (includes team roles), Notes → v0.4.0, MVP → v0.5.0. Added settings audit milestones (v0.2.7 admin, v0.2.8 user, v0.2.9 team-admin pass 1).
• Updated bus doc examples and test labels from chat.* to workflow.*.
• Renamed channel- prefixed test paths to test- in storage tests.
• Updated doc comments throughout to remove references to gutted surfaces.

Removed

• ~500 lines of dead CSS: Orphaned classes for gutted chat, channel, project, notes, editor-chat, sidebar, and router-picker features from layout.css and surfaces.css.
• Dead Go types: Grant struct (persona-era), CompositeModelKey func, comment-only stubs for NoteGraph, ProjectChannel, etc.
• Dead event code: chat.typing.* / channel.typing.* condition in WS subscriber, empty Chat/Channel event route table sections.
• Dead test helpers: seed_helpers.go (SeedTestMessage, SeedTestMessages, SeedTestCursor — all callerless).
• Stale template refs: CSS link tags for non-existent sw-chat-pane.css, sw-notes-pane.css, chat.css. Orphaned chat-pane.html component.
• Vestigial guards: "chat" surface checks in IsSurfaceEnabled() and DisablePackage() (chat is no longer a surface).
• Dead settings UI: Chat defaults from user settings, System Prompt / Default Model / Policies / Web Search / Compaction / Memory from admin.
• Unused fmt.Sprintf references in team stores.

---

[Unreleased] — v0.2.4

Added

• sw.shell.Topbar: Standard navigation bar component for surfaces. Composes title + extension slot + NotificationBell + UserMenu into a consistent 44px bar. Surfaces use <${sw.shell.Topbar} title="..."> with children rendered in the extension slot. Graceful fallback if unavailable.
• Schedules surface (packages/schedules/): New package wrapping the kernel /api/v1/schedules API. Table view with cron badge + human-readable preview, next fire time, enable/disable toggle, manual run, and execution logs panel. Create/edit dialog with live cron-to-english preview.
• Manifest icon field: Packages can declare an emoji icon in manifest.json ("icon": "⏰"). Served via the surfaces API icon field. Rendered in the UserMenu flyout next to each surface name.

Changed

• UserMenu: Surface list now driven entirely by the /api/v1/surfaces API. Removed hardcoded Chat, Notes, Projects links (gutted in Phase 0). Core surfaces (Admin, Settings, Team Admin, Workflow) filtered from the API list and handled as dedicated menu items with RBAC gating.
• Tasks surface: Replaced custom .tasks-header with sw.shell.Topbar. View tabs and create button rendered in the extension slot.

Fixed

• sw.isAdmin RBAC regression: isAdmin() in can.js was checking the deprecated user.role === 'admin' field instead of the v0.2.0 RBAC grant surface.admin.access. Admin menu item and admin-gated features now appear correctly for users in the Admins group.

---

[Unreleased] — v0.2.2

Added

• Event bus subscriptions: Extensions declare event triggers in manifest ("triggers": [{"type": "event", "pattern": "workflow.completed", ...}]). Wired via bus.Subscribe() on startup. Handlers fire asynchronously.
• Webhook triggers: Inbound HTTP at /api/v1/hooks/:package_id/:slug. HMAC-SHA256 verification via X-Switchboard-Signature header. Synchronous Starlark handler can return custom HTTP status and body.
• Scheduled tasks: User-created cron-scheduled Starlark scripts with restricted sandbox (no raw HTTP, no DB table creation, connections-only outbound). Runs as creator identity with RBAC scoping. Admin-created tasks can opt into system context. Creator deactivation auto-pauses schedule.
• Schedule templates: Extensions ship pre-built schedule templates in manifest (schedule_templates array) with configurable params and default cron expressions.
• triggers.register extension permission — required for event/webhook triggers
• triggers table — extension-declared event and webhook trigger definitions
• scheduled_tasks table — user-created cron tasks with script, template, and identity fields
• trigger_logs table — unified execution audit log for both tiers
• TriggerStore + ScheduledTaskStore interfaces (postgres + sqlite)
• Trigger engine (server/triggers/) — orchestrates event subscriptions, webhook resolution, and cron scheduling via robfig/cron/v3
• SyncManifestTriggers() — declarative sync of event/webhook triggers from manifest. Hooked into seed, admin install, and package install flows.
• Admin trigger API: GET/PUT/DELETE /admin/triggers, /admin/triggers/:id/logs, /admin/packages/:id/triggers
• Admin schedule API: GET /admin/schedules, enable/disable/delete
• User schedule API: full CRUD at /api/v1/schedules, manual run, execution logs
• trigger.fired and trigger.error event bus labels (DirLocal) for observability
• OpenAPI spec: Trigger, ScheduledTask, TriggerLog schemas + all new endpoints

---

[v0.2.1] — 2026-03-26

Added

• Default surface routing: / redirects to configurable default surface. Fallback chain: configured default → first enabled extension surface → /admin. First installed extension surface auto-becomes default. Admin can change via Settings > Default Surface dropdown.
• default_surface global config key (JSON {"id": "slug"})
• Admin settings UI: Default Surface dropdown (extension surfaces only)
• ICD (API contract): Full OpenAPI 3.0.3 spec covering all 160 kernel endpoints. 22 tag groups (System, Auth, Profile, Workflows, Packages, Connections, Teams, Groups, Extensions, and Admin subsections). Reusable component schemas for User, Team, Group, Workflow, Package, Extension, etc. Served at /api/docs (Swagger UI) and /api/docs/openapi.yaml.

Changed

• disabledRedirect() now redirects to /admin instead of / to prevent redirect loops when the default surface is disabled
• Disabled extension surfaces (/s/:slug) redirect to /admin instead of /

Fixed

• Gin route param conflict causing backend startup hang: team-scoped package settings routes used :pkgId while sibling routes used :id. Gin's radix tree entered an infinite loop on the conflicting param names. Unified to :id across all /teams/:teamId/packages/ routes.
• Docker entrypoint: increased health check timeout (10s → 60s), added stale process cleanup and crash detection to prevent zombie backends on restart

---

[v0.2.0] — 2026-03-26

Added

• Full RBAC: all authorization flows through group membership and permission grants. No magic roles, no implicit group membership, no special-casing.
• surface.admin.access permission — any group can grant admin panel access
• Admins system group seeded with all platform permissions
• Everyone system group — all users explicitly added on creation
• EnsureEveryoneGroup(), AddToAdminsGroup(), RemoveFromAdminsGroup() helpers
• SeedAdminsGroupMember(), SeedEveryoneGroupMember() test helpers
• System groups re-seeded after TruncateAll in test helper
• OIDC isIdPAdmin() — maps IdP role claims to Admins group membership
• Settings cascade: three-tier resolution (global → team → user) with user_overridable flag per manifest setting key. Admins can lock settings that team admins and users cannot override.
• package_team_settings table for team-scoped package setting overrides
• Team admin API: GET/PUT/DELETE /api/v1/teams/:teamId/packages/:pkgId/settings
• RunContext.TeamID for team-aware Starlark settings resolution
• store.ResolveSettings() / store.FilterOverridableKeys() pure functions
• store.ParseSettingsSchema() extracts user_overridable from manifests

Changed

• RequireAdmin() / RequireAdminPage() check surface.admin.access grant
• RequirePermission() no longer bypasses for admin role
• ResolvePermissions() unions explicit group memberships only (no implicit Everyone)
• All user creation paths (builtin, OIDC, mTLS, admin, bootstrap, seed) add to Everyone group. Admin users added to Admins group.
• JWT claims no longer include role field
• Login response no longer includes role in user object
• Profile endpoint no longer returns role
• Profile bootstrap resolves permissions from groups (no admin shortcut)
• Middleware auth cache tracks isActive only (no role)
• Admin create user accepts is_admin bool (not role string)
• Admin update role endpoint accepts is_admin bool, manages Admins group directly
• Demotion/deletion safeguards check Admins group member count
• Notifications RoleFallbackHandler queries Admins group members
• OIDC syncs Admins group on login (no role column writes)
• Kernel permissions: 6 → 7 (added surface.admin.access)
• Admin users UI: role dropdown removed, admin managed through groups
• Starlark settings.get() uses cascade resolver instead of naive merge
• User settings save (POST /extensions/:id/settings) strips non-overridable keys

Removed

• users.role column — dropped from schema, model, JWT, all handlers
• UserRoleAdmin, UserRoleUser constants
• CountByRole() store method
• DefaultRole config for OIDC and mTLS providers
• SyncAdminsGroupMembership() (replaced by AddToAdminsGroup/RemoveFromAdminsGroup)
• OIDC resolveRole() (replaced by isIdPAdmin())
• Token budgets from groups: columns, ResolveTokenBudget(), all store/handler/UI
• Allowed models from groups: column, ResolveModelAllowlist(), UI
• Admin groups UI: Token Budgets section, Allowed Models section

Migration notes

• 001_core.sql (both dialects): removed role column from users table
• 002_teams.sql (both dialects): added Admins group seed, removed token_budget_daily, token_budget_monthly, allowed_models columns
• No new migration files — edited in place per pre-MVP policy

---

[v0.1.0] — 2026-03-26

Forked from chat-switchboard v0.38.5. Gutted to a pure extension platform.

Removed

• AI/Chat system: providers, model catalog, routing policies, personas, channels, messages, completion streaming, tool loop, compaction, memory, knowledge bases, notes, workspaces, projects, folders, files, export/import
• Task scheduler: entire scheduler package, task store, task handlers. Tasks will be rebuilt as a Starlark extension with three trigger primitives (time, webhook, event)
• Session system: channel-based anonymous sessions. Workflow instances will get new storage in v0.2.0
• Health accumulator: provider health windows, tool health tracking. Replaced with kernel-only Prune (ws_tickets, rate_limit_counters, presence)
• 15 Go packages: tools, compaction, extraction, roles, mentions, notelinks, export, memory, knowledge, providers, routing, capabilities, filters, retention, workspace
• 29 handler files, 6 test files, ~44K lines total

Fixed

• CI deploy: k8s resource quantity vars (BE_MEMORY_REQUEST → MEMORY_REQUEST) aligned with CI workflow outputs — envsubst was producing empty strings
• CI deploy: image var (BE_IMAGE → IMAGE) — caused InvalidImageName in pods
• CI rollout: deployment name (switchboard → switchboard-be) — rollout verification was looking for wrong deployment name
• Nginx BASE_PATH: regex cache-header locations intercepted static asset requests before alias could strip the sub-path prefix — moved inside alias block
• Post-login blank page: dead Go template references (surface-chat, surface-notes, surface-projects) caused html/template to silently produce Content-Length: 0 responses
• Login branding: "Chat Switchboard" → "Switchboard Core", updated tagline and feature pills to reflect platform pivot

Changed

• Module renamed: chat-switchboard → switchboard-core
• VERSION: 0.1.0
• Default DB name: switchboard_core
• Fresh migrations: 9 files × 2 dialects (postgres + sqlite), 27 tables
