## [v0.36] Self-Update Checker with One-Click Update
*April 5, 2026 | 433 tests*

### Features
- **Update checker.** Non-blocking background check on boot detects when the
  WebUI or hermes-agent git repos are behind upstream. Blue banner shows
  "WebUI: N updates, Agent: N updates available" with Update Now / Later.
- **One-click update.** "Update Now" runs `git stash && git pull --ff-only &&
  git stash pop` on each behind repo, then reloads the page. Concurrent update
  attempts blocked via lock. Dirty working trees safely stashed and restored.
- **Settings toggle.** "Check for updates" checkbox in Settings panel. Persisted
  server-side. Disabled = no background fetch, no banner.
- **30-minute cache.** Git fetch runs at most twice per hour regardless of tab
  count. Results cached server-side with TTL.
- **Session-scoped dismissal.** "Later" dismisses banner for the current tab
  session (sessionStorage). New tabs get a fresh check.
- **Test mode.** `?test_updates=1` URL param shows the banner with fake data
  (localhost only) for UI testing without needing to actually be behind.

### Architecture
- New `api/updates.py`: `check_for_updates()`, `apply_update()`. Thread-safe
  caching with `_cache_lock`. Concurrent apply blocked with `_apply_lock`.
  Default branch auto-detected (master/main).
- `api/routes.py`: `GET /api/updates/check`, `POST /api/updates/apply`.
  Simulate endpoint gated to 127.0.0.1.
- `static/ui.js`: `_showUpdateBanner()`, `dismissUpdate()`, `applyUpdates()`.
- `static/boot.js`: fire-and-forget check on boot (does not block UI).
- `api/config.py`: `check_for_updates` in settings defaults + bool keys.
- Docker safe: all git ops gated by `.git` directory existence check.

## [v0.35.1] Model dropdown fixes
*April 5, 2026 | 433 tests*

### Bug Fixes
- **Custom providers invisible in model dropdown (#117).** `cfg_base_url` was scoped inside a conditional block but referenced unconditionally, causing a `NameError` for users with a `base_url` in config.yaml. Fix: initialize to `''` before the block. (#118)
- **Configured default model missing from dropdown (#116).** OpenRouter and other providers replaced the model list with a hardcoded fallback that didn't include `model.default` values like `openrouter/free` or custom local model names. Fix: after building all groups, inject the configured `default_model` at the top of its provider group if absent. (#119)

---

## [v0.35] Security hardening
*April 5, 2026 | 433 tests*

### Security fixes
- **ENV race condition (HIGH):** Two concurrent sessions could interleave `os.environ` writes, clobbering workspace and session keys. Fixed with a global `_ENV_LOCK` in `streaming.py` that serializes the env save/restore block across all sessions. (#108)
- **Predictable signing key (MEDIUM):** Session cookies were signed with `sha256(STATE_DIR)` -- deterministic and forgeable if the install path is known. Now generates a cryptographically random 32-byte key on first startup, persisted to `STATE_DIR/.signing_key` (chmod 600). (#108)
- **Upload path traversal (MEDIUM):** Filenames like `..` survived the `[^\w.\-]` sanitization regex because dots are allowed. Fixed by rejecting dot-only filenames and validating the resolved path stays within the workspace sandbox via `safe_resolve_ws()`. (#108)
- **Weak password hashing (MEDIUM):** Bare SHA-256 with a predictable salt replaced with PBKDF2-SHA256 at 600k iterations (OWASP recommendation) using the random signing key as salt. No new dependencies (stdlib `hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac`). (#108)

**Breaking change:** Existing session cookies and password hashes are invalidated on first restart after upgrade. Users with password auth enabled will need to re-set their password.

## [v0.34.3] Light theme final polish
*April 5, 2026 | 433 tests*

### Bug Fixes
- **Light theme: sidebar, role labels, chips, and interactive elements all broken.** Session titles were too faint, active session used washed-out gold, pin stars were near-invisible bright yellow, and all hover/border effects used dark-theme white `rgba(255,255,255,.XX)` values invisible on cream. Fixed with 46 scoped `[data-theme="light"]` selector overrides covering session items, role labels, project chips, topbar chips, composer, suggestions, tool cards, cron list, and more. (#105)
- Active session now uses blue accent (`#2d6fa3`) for strong contrast. Pin stars use deep gold (`#996b15`). Role labels are solid and high contrast.

---

## [v0.34.2] Theme text colors
*April 5, 2026 | 433 tests*

### Bug Fixes
- **Light mode text unreadable.** Bold text was hardcoded white (invisible on cream), italic was light purple on cream, inline code had a dark box on a light background. Fixed by introducing 5 new per-theme CSS variables (`--strong`, `--em`, `--code-text`, `--code-inline-bg`, `--pre-text`) defined for every theme. (#102)
- Also replaced remaining `rgba(255,255,255,.08)` border references with `var(--border)`, and darkened light theme `--code-bg` slightly for better contrast.

---

## [v0.34.1] Theme variable polish
*April 5, 2026 | 433 tests*

### Bug Fixes
- **All non-dark themes had broken surfaces, topbar, and dropdowns.** 30+ hardcoded dark-navy rgba/hex values in style.css were stuck on the Dark palette regardless of active theme. Fixed by introducing 7 new CSS variables (`--surface`, `--topbar-bg`, `--main-bg`, `--input-bg`, `--hover-bg`, `--focus-ring`, `--focus-glow`) defined per-theme, replacing every hardcoded reference. (#100)

---

## [v0.34] Sprint 26 -- Pluggable UI Themes
*April 5, 2026 | 433 tests*

### Features
- **6 built-in themes.** Dark (default), Light, Slate, Solarized Dark, Monokai,
  Nord. Defined as CSS variable overrides on `:root[data-theme="name"]` — the
  entire UI adapts automatically.
- **Theme picker in Settings.** Dropdown with instant live preview. Changes
  apply immediately as you click through options.
- **`/theme` slash command.** `/theme dark`, `/theme light`, etc.
- **Theme persistence.** Saved server-side in `settings.json` and client-side
  in `localStorage` for flicker-free loading on page refresh.
- **Flash prevention.** Inline `<script>` in `<head>` reads localStorage before
  the stylesheet loads — no flash of the wrong theme.
- **Custom theme support.** Any theme name is accepted (no enum gate). Create a
  `:root[data-theme="name"]` CSS block and it works. See `THEMES.md`.
- **Unsaved changes guard.** Settings panel now tracks dirty state and shows a
  "You have unsaved changes" bar with Save/Discard buttons when closing with
  unpersisted changes. Theme preview reverts on discard.

### Architecture
- `static/style.css`: 6 theme blocks using CSS variable overrides. Light theme
  includes scrollbar and selection overrides.
- `static/commands.js`: `/theme` command with validation.
- `static/panels.js`: Settings dirty tracking, revert-on-discard, unsaved bar.
- `static/boot.js`: Theme applied from server settings on boot.
- `api/config.py`: `theme` field in `_SETTINGS_DEFAULTS` (no enum gate).
- `THEMES.md`: Full documentation for creating custom themes.

### Tests
- 9 new tests in `test_sprint26.py`: default theme, round-trip persistence for
  all 6 built-in themes, custom theme acceptance, settings isolation.
  Total: **433 tests**.

## [v0.33] /insights Sync + state.db Bridge Fix
*April 5, 2026 | 424 tests*

### Features
- **Opt-in `/insights` sync.** New "Sync usage to /insights" setting (default: off). When enabled, after each turn the WebUI mirrors session token usage, cost, model, and title into `state.db` so `hermes /insights` includes browser session activity. (#92, #93)

### Bug Fixes
- **state_sync.py correctness fixes.** Three bugs in the initial implementation caught during code review: wrong class name (`HermesState` → `SessionDB`), wrong constructor argument type (`str` → `Path`), wrong title update method (`_execute_write` with bad signature → `set_session_title`). Also fixed a SQLite connection leak (persistent connection opened per call, never closed). (#95)

---

## [v0.32] Auto-Compaction Handling + /compact Command (Issue #90)
*April 5, 2026 | 424 tests*

### Features
- **Auto-compaction detection.** When the agent's `run_conversation()` triggers
  context compression and rotates the session ID, the WebUI detects the mismatch
  and renames the session file + cache entry so messages don't split across files.
- **`compressed` SSE event.** Frontend receives a notification when compression
  fires, shows a system message ("Context was auto-compressed") and a toast.
- **`/compact` slash command.** Type `/compact` to request the agent compress
  the conversation context. Sends a natural-language message that triggers the
  agent's compression preflight.
- **Real context window data.** The context usage indicator now uses actual
  `context_length`, `threshold_tokens`, and `last_prompt_tokens` from the agent's
  compressor instead of the client-side model name lookup. Tooltip shows the
  auto-compress threshold. Hides gracefully when the agent has no compressor.

### Architecture
- `api/streaming.py`: Session ID mismatch detection after `run_conversation()`,
  file rename, SESSIONS cache update under lock, `compressed` SSE event,
  `context_length`/`threshold_tokens`/`last_prompt_tokens` in usage dict.
- `static/commands.js`: `/compact` command.
- `static/messages.js`: `compressed` SSE event handler.
- `static/ui.js`: `_syncCtxIndicator()` rewritten to use server-side compressor
  data instead of client-side model estimates.

---

## [v0.31.2] CLI session delete fix
*April 5, 2026 | 424 tests*

### Bug Fixes
- **CLI sessions could not be deleted from the sidebar.** The delete handler only
  removed the WebUI JSON session file, so CLI-backed sessions came back on refresh.
  Added `delete_cli_session(sid)` in `api/models.py` and call it from
  `/api/session/delete` so the SQLite `state.db` row and messages are removed too.
  (#87, #88)

### Notes
- The public test suite still passes at 424/424.
- Issue #87 already had a comment confirming the root cause, so no new issue comment
  was needed here.

## [v0.31] UI Polish + Deployment Hardening
*April 4, 2026 | 424 tests*

### Bug Fixes
- **Profile dropdown overlaps chat messages.** `.topbar` had no stacking context,
  causing the dropdown to paint over `.messages`. Added `position:relative;z-index:10`
  to `.topbar`. (#71)
- **Workspace dropdown clipped by sidebar.** `.sidebar overflow:hidden` swallowed
  the upward-opening workspace dropdown entirely. Changed to `overflow:visible`
  (scroll lives on `.session-list`); added `position:relative;z-index:10` to
  `.sidebar-bottom`. (#71)
- **Slash-command autocomplete behind tool cards.** `.composer-wrap` had
  `position:relative` but no `z-index`, letting tool cards bleed over it.
  Added `z-index:10`. (#71)
- **Skill picker clipped inside Settings modal.** `.settings-panel overflow-y:auto`
  clipped the absolute-positioned skill picker. Moved scroll to `.settings-body`,
  set panel to `overflow:visible`, raised skill picker to `z-index:1100`. (#71)
- **CLI session badge blocks action buttons on hover.** Added
  `.session-item.cli-session:hover::after { display:none }` so the gold "cli"
  label hides on hover, making archive/delete/pin fully reachable. (#71)
- **Workspace dropdown name and path crowded on same line.** `.ws-opt` was a plain
  block with inline spans. Added `flex-direction:column;gap:4px` so name and path
  stack cleanly. (#71)
- **Both servers sharing same state directory.** `api/config.py` and `start.sh`
  both defaulted to `~/.hermes/webui-mvp` (an internal dev name). Changed default
  to `~/.hermes/webui` -- generic, appropriate for any deployment. Override with
  `HERMES_WEBUI_STATE_DIR`. (#72, #73)

---

## [v0.30.1] CLI Session Bridge Fixes
*April 4, 2026 | 424 tests*

### Bug Fixes
- **CLI sessions not appearing in sidebar.** Three frontend gaps: `sessions.js`
  wasn't rendering CLI sessions (missing `is_cli_session` check in render loop),
  sidebar click handler didn't trigger import, and the "cli" badge CSS selector
  wasn't matching the rendered DOM structure. (#58)
- **CLI bridge read wrong profile's state.db.** `get_cli_sessions()` resolved
  `HERMES_HOME` at server launch time, not at call time. After a profile switch,
  it kept reading the original profile's database. Now resolves dynamically via
  `get_active_hermes_home()`. (#59)
- **Silent SQL error swallowed all CLI sessions.** The `sessions` table in
  `state.db` has no `profile` column — the query referenced `s.profile` which
  caused a silent `OperationalError`. The `except Exception: return []` handler
  swallowed it, returning zero CLI sessions. Removed the column reference and
  added explicit column-existence checks. (#60)

### Features
- **"Show CLI sessions" toggle in Settings.** New checkbox in the Settings panel
  to show/hide CLI sessions in the sidebar. Persisted server-side in
  `settings.json` (`show_cli_sessions`, default `true`). When disabled, CLI
  sessions are excluded from `/api/sessions` responses. (#61)

---

## [v0.30] CLI Session Bridge (Community: @thadreber-web)
*April 4, 2026 | 424 tests*

### Features
- **CLI session bridge.** The WebUI now reads sessions from the hermes-agent's
  SQLite store (`state.db`). CLI sessions appear in the sidebar with a gold
  "cli" indicator badge. Click to import into the WebUI store with full message
  history — replies then work through the normal agent pipeline.
- **`/api/session/import_cli` endpoint.** Imports a CLI session into the WebUI
  JSON store. Idempotent — returns existing session if already imported.
  Derives title from first message, inherits active profile and workspace.
- **`/api/sessions` merges CLI sessions.** Sidebar shows both WebUI and CLI
  sessions sorted by last activity. Deduplication ensures WebUI sessions take
  priority when the same session_id exists in both stores.
- **CLI session fallback on `/api/session`.** If a session_id isn't found in
  the WebUI store, falls back to reading from the CLI SQLite store.

### Architecture
- `api/models.py`: `get_cli_sessions()`, `get_cli_session_messages()`,
  `import_cli_session()`. All use parameterized SQL queries and `with` for
  connection management. Graceful fallback on missing sqlite3 or state.db.
- `api/routes.py`: CLI fallback in GET `/api/session`, merged list in
  GET `/api/sessions`, POST `/api/session/import_cli`.
- `static/style.css`: `.cli-session` indicator styles (gold border + badge).

---

## [v0.29] Sprint 23: Agentic Transparency + Polish
*April 4, 2026 | 424 tests*

### Features

- **Token/cost display.** Agent usage (input tokens, output tokens, estimated
  cost) is now read after each conversation and persisted on the session.
  A muted badge appears below the last assistant message when enabled.
  Off by default — toggle via the Settings panel checkbox or `/usage` slash
  command. Persists server-side across refreshes.

- **Subagent delegation cards.** `subagent_progress` events now render with
  a 🔀 icon and a blue indented left border to visually distinguish child
  tool activity from parent tool calls. `delegate_task` cards display as
  "Delegate task" with cleaner formatting.

- **Skill picker in cron create form.** The "New Job" form now has a search
  input + tag chip picker for attaching skills to cron jobs. Skills fetched
  from `/api/skills`, filtered on keyup, added/removed as tag chips.
  `submitCronCreate()` sends `skills` array in the POST body. Backend already
  supported the field — this was a pure frontend gap.

- **Skill linked files viewer.** Skill preview panel now renders a "Linked
  Files" section below SKILL.md content when a skill has `references/`,
  `templates/`, `scripts/`, or `assets/` subdirectories. Clicking a file
  loads it in the preview panel with syntax highlighting.
  New `file` query param on `GET /api/skills/content` serves linked files
  with path traversal protection.

- **Workspace tree state persists across refreshes.** Expanded directory
  paths are saved to `localStorage` keyed by workspace path
  (`hermes-webui-expanded:{path}`). On every root load (page refresh,
  session switch), the saved state is restored and previously-expanded
  directories are pre-fetched so the tree renders fully on first paint.

- **Timestamps fixed.** `api/streaming.py` now stamps `timestamp` on every
  message that lacks one at conversation completion. The `done` SSE event
  also stamps `_ts` on the last assistant message immediately. Timestamps
  were already rendered in the UI (Sprint 14, hover-to-reveal) but most
  messages had no timestamp field, so nothing ever showed.

- **`/usage` slash command.** Instant toggle for token usage display.
  Shows a toast, persists to server, updates the Settings checkbox if open,
  re-renders immediately.

### Bug Fixes

- **XSS via inline onclick + esc().** Skill names and file paths embedded in
  `onclick` HTML attributes used `esc()` for encoding. `esc()` converts `'`
  to `&#39;` (HTML-safe) but browsers decode it back before executing JS,
  allowing skill names with apostrophes to break out of string literals.
  Fixed by switching to `data-*` attributes + `addEventListener`.

- **rglob wildcard injection.** The `name` query param for
  `/api/skills/content?file=` was passed directly to `SKILLS_DIR.rglob()`,
  which accepts glob patterns. `name=*` would match an arbitrary directory
  and use it as the trust base for path traversal checking.
  Fixed by rejecting names containing `* ? [ ]` metacharacters with 400.

- **`_fmtTokens(null)` returned "null".** `String(null)` = `"null"` would
  appear in the usage badge for sessions missing fields. Fixed with a
  `!n || n < 0` guard returning `'0'`.

- **Usage badge on wrong row.** Badge used `:last-child` which could target
  a user message row. Fixed by adding `data-role` to message rows and
  scanning backwards for the last `assistant` row.

- **Tool name resolution.** Tool call entries in session JSON sometimes
  stored the literal string `"tool"` as the name when the call ID couldn't
  be resolved. Fixed: defaults to empty string and skips unresolvable entries.

- **Inline import inside loop.** `import json as _j2` inside the done-handler
  loop in `streaming.py` moved to module-level.

### Session Model

- Added `input_tokens`, `output_tokens`, `estimated_cost` fields to Session
  (defaults: 0, 0, None). Included in `compact()`, session JSON, and all
  API responses. Backward-compatible via `**kwargs`.

- Added `args` capture to `tool_calls` session JSON entries (truncated
  snapshot of tool inputs, up to 6 keys / 120 chars each).

### Settings

- New `show_token_usage` boolean setting (default: `false`). Stored in
  `settings.json`, loaded on boot alongside `send_key`.

### Tests

- Renamed `test_sprint24.py` → `test_sprint23.py`.
- Strengthened session usage assertions (explicit field presence checks).
- Added: path traversal rejection test, wildcard name rejection test,
  cron create with skills array test.
- Total: 424 tests (up from 415).

---

## [v0.28.1] CI Pipeline + Multi-Arch Docker Builds
*April 3, 2026 | 426 tests*

### Features
- **GitHub Actions CI.** New workflow triggers on tag push (`v*`). Builds
  multi-arch Docker images (linux/amd64 + linux/arm64), pushes to
  `ghcr.io/nesquena/hermes-webui`, and creates a GitHub Release with
  auto-generated release notes. Uses GHA layer caching for fast rebuilds.
- **Pre-built container images.** Users can now `docker pull ghcr.io/nesquena/hermes-webui:latest`
  instead of building locally.

---

## [v0.27] Profile Creation Fallback for Docker (Issue #44)
*April 3, 2026 | 426 tests*

### Bug Fixes
- **Profile creation works without hermes-agent.** In Docker containers where
  `hermes_cli` is not importable, profile creation now falls back to a local
  implementation that creates the directory structure and optionally clones
  config files. Previously returned `RuntimeError` with "hermes-agent required".
- **Name validation uses `fullmatch()`.** Prevents trailing-newline bypass of
  the `$` anchor in `re.match()`. Not reachable from the web UI (name is
  stripped), but fixed for defense-in-depth.
- **`clone_from` validated in `create_profile_api()`.** Defense-in-depth:
  prevents path traversal if called by a non-HTTP client.
- **Fallback return uses full 9-key schema.** Previously returned only 2 keys
  (`name`, `path`), inconsistent with the normal response shape.
- **Atomic directory creation.** `mkdir(exist_ok=False)` prevents TOCTOU race
  on concurrent profile creates.

### Architecture
- `api/profiles.py`: `_validate_profile_name()`, `_create_profile_fallback()`,
  `_PROFILE_ID_RE`, `_PROFILE_DIRS`, `_CLONE_CONFIG_FILES` constants matching
  upstream `hermes_cli.profiles`.
- `docker-compose.yml`: Removed `:ro` from `~/.hermes` mount (required for
  profile writes). Localhost-only binding preserved.

---

## [v0.26] Profile System Polish -- 10 Post-Sprint-23 Fixes
*April 3, 2026 | 426 tests*

### Bug Fixes
- **Profile switch base dir bug.** When `HERMES_HOME` was mutated to a
  `profiles/` subdir at startup, `switch_profile()` doubled the path
  (e.g. `~/.hermes/profiles/X/profiles/X`). New `_resolve_base_hermes_home()`
  detects profile subdirs and walks up to the actual base.
- **Cross-provider model routing.** Picking a model from a different provider
  than the config's default now routes through OpenRouter instead of trying
  a direct API call to a provider whose key may not exist.
- **Legacy sessions missing profile tag.** `all_sessions()` now backfills
  `profile='default'` for pre-Sprint-22 sessions so the profile filter works.
- **Workspace list cleanup.** Stale paths, test artifacts, and cross-profile
  entries are now cleaned on load. Legacy global workspace file migrated
  once for the default profile.
- **API error messages.** `api()` helper now parses JSON error bodies and
  surfaces the human-readable message instead of raw JSON.
- **Workspace dropdown moved to sidebar.** The workspace picker now opens
  upward from the sidebar bottom instead of clipping behind the topbar.

### Features
- **Rate limit error display.** Rate limit errors (429) now show a distinct
  card with a rate limit icon and hint, instead of the generic error message.
- **SSE `apperror`/`warning` events.** Server can send typed error events
  that the frontend handles with appropriate UX (rate limit card, fallback
  notice, etc.).
- **Smart model resolver.** `_findModelInDropdown()` handles name mismatches
  between config model IDs and dropdown values (e.g. `claude-sonnet-4-6` vs
  `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6`).
- **Profile switch starts new session.** When the current session has messages,
  switching profiles automatically starts a fresh session to prevent
  cross-profile tagging.
- **Per-profile toolsets.** Agent now reads `platform_toolsets.cli` from the
  active profile's config at call time, not the boot-time snapshot.
- **Per-profile fallback model.** `fallback_model` config is read from the
  active profile and passed to AIAgent.

### Architecture
- `api/profiles.py`: `_resolve_base_hermes_home()` replaces naive env var read.
- `api/workspace.py`: `_clean_workspace_list()`, `_migrate_global_workspaces()`.
- `api/streaming.py`: Per-profile toolsets and fallback model at call time.
- `api/models.py`: `all_sessions()` backfills `profile='default'`.
- `static/ui.js`: `_findModelInDropdown()`, `_applyModelToDropdown()`.
- `static/messages.js`: `apperror` and `warning` SSE event handlers.

---

## [v0.25] Sprint 23 -- Profile/Workspace/Model Coherence
*April 3, 2026 | 423 tests*

### Features
- **Profile-local workspace storage.** Each named profile now stores its own
  `workspaces.json` and `last_workspace.txt` under `{profile_home}/webui_state/`.
  Default profile continues using the global STATE_DIR for backward compat.
- **Profile switch returns defaults.** `POST /api/profile/switch` response now
  includes `default_model` and `default_workspace` from the new profile's
  config.yaml, enabling one-round-trip state sync.
- **Session profile filter.** Session sidebar filters to the active profile by
  default. "Show N from other profiles" toggle reveals sessions from all
  profiles, modeled on the existing archived toggle. Resets on profile switch.

### Bug Fixes
- **Model picker ignores profile on switch.** `switchToProfile()` now clears
  the `hermes-webui-model` localStorage key so the profile's default model
  applies instead of a stale preference from another profile.
- **Workspace list was global.** Switching profiles no longer shows the wrong
  profile's workspaces.
- **`DEFAULT_WORKSPACE` was a boot-time singleton.** Now resolved dynamically
  through `_profile_default_workspace()`.
- **Session list showed all profiles.** Now filtered to active profile.
- **`switchToProfile()` didn't refresh workspaces or sessions.** Now refreshes
  workspace list, session list, and resets profile filter on switch.

### Architecture
- `api/workspace.py` rewritten with profile-aware path resolution.
- `api/profiles.py`: `switch_profile()` returns `default_model` and
  `default_workspace`.
- `static/sessions.js`: Profile filter with toggle UI.
- `static/panels.js`: Full cascade refresh on profile switch.
- 8 new tests in `test_sprint23.py`.

---

## [v0.24] Sprint 22 -- Multi-Profile Support (Issue #28)
*April 3, 2026 | 415 tests*

### Features
- **Profile picker (topbar).** Purple-accented chip with SVG user icon. Click
  to open dropdown listing all profiles with gateway status dots (green =
  running), model info, and skill count. Click any profile to switch; "Manage
  profiles" link opens the sidebar panel.
- **Profiles management panel.** New sidebar tab with full CRUD UI. Profile
  cards show name, model/provider, skill count, API key status, and gateway
  status badge. "Use" button switches profile, delete button removes non-default
  profiles (with confirmation).
- **Profile creation.** "+ New profile" form with name validation (`[a-z0-9_-]`),
  optional "clone config from active" checkbox. Wraps the CLI's
  `hermes_cli.profiles.create_profile()`.
- **Profile deletion.** Confirm dialog. Auto-switches to default if deleting
  the active profile. Blocked while agent is running.
- **Seamless profile switching.** No server restart. Profile switch updates
  `HERMES_HOME`, patches module-level caches in hermes-agent's `skills_tool`
  and `cron/jobs`, reloads `.env` API keys and `config.yaml`, refreshes the
  model dropdown, skills, memory, and cron panels.
- **Per-session profile tracking.** `profile` field on Session records which
  profile was active at creation. Backward-compatible (`null` for old sessions).

### Bug Fixes
- **Hardcoded `~/.hermes` paths.** Memory read/write and model discovery used
  hardcoded paths. Now resolved through `get_active_hermes_home()`.
- **Module-level path caching.** hermes-agent modules snapshot `HERMES_HOME`
  at import time. Profile switch now monkey-patches `SKILLS_DIR`, `CRON_DIR`,
  `JOBS_FILE`, `OUTPUT_DIR` so they track the active profile.

### Architecture
- New `api/profiles.py`: profile state management wrapping `hermes_cli.profiles`.
  Thread-safe (`_profile_lock`). Lazy imports avoid circular deps.
- `api/config.py`: module-level `cfg` replaced with reloadable `get_config()`
  / `reload_config()`. Dynamic `_get_config_path()` resolves through profile.
- `api/streaming.py`: `HERMES_HOME` added to env save/restore block.
- Profile switch blocked while agent streams are active.
- 5 new API endpoints: `GET /api/profiles`, `GET /api/profile/active`,
  `POST /api/profile/switch`, `POST /api/profile/create`,
  `POST /api/profile/delete`.
- Zero modifications to hermes-agent code.

---

## [v0.23] Sprint 21 -- Mobile Responsive + Docker
*April 3, 2026 | 415 tests*

### Features
- **Mobile responsive layout (Issue #21).** Full mobile experience with
  hamburger sidebar (slide-in overlay), bottom navigation bar (5-tab iOS
  pattern), and files slide-over panel. Touch targets minimum 44px. Composer
  positioned above bottom nav. Session clicks auto-close sidebar. Desktop
  layout completely unchanged — all mobile elements hidden via `@media`.
- **Docker support (Issue #7).** Dockerfile (`python:3.12-slim`), docker-compose.yml
  with named volume for state persistence, optional `~/.hermes` mount for
  agent features. Binds to `127.0.0.1` by default for security.

### Bug Fixes (from review)
- **CSS cascade broke mobile slide-in.** `position:relative` rules after the
  media query overrode `position:fixed` on mobile. Wrapped in `@media(min-width:641px)`.
- **mobileSwitchPanel() always reopened sidebar.** Chat tab now closes sidebar
  instead of reopening it over the main chat area.
- **Dockerfile missing pip install.** Added `pip install -r requirements.txt`.
- **No .dockerignore.** Added exclusions for `.git`, `tests/`, `.env*`.
- **docker-compose tilde expansion.** Changed `~/.hermes` default to
  `${HOME}/.hermes` (Docker Compose doesn't shell-expand `~`).

### Architecture
- Mobile navigation functions in `boot.js`: `toggleMobileSidebar()`,
  `closeMobileSidebar()`, `toggleMobileFiles()`, `mobileSwitchPanel()`.
- `sessions.js`: `closeMobileSidebar()` called after session click.
- 69 new CSS lines in `@media(max-width:640px)` block.
- New files: `Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml`, `.dockerignore`.

## [v0.22] Sprint 20 -- Voice Input + Send Button Polish
*April 3, 2026 | 415 tests*

### Features
- **Voice input via Web Speech API.** Microphone button in the composer.
  Tap to start recording, tap again (or send) to stop. Live interim
  transcription appears in the textarea. Auto-stops after ~2s of silence.
  Final text stays editable before sending. Appends to existing textarea
  content rather than replacing it. Button hidden when browser doesn't
  support Web Speech API. No API keys, no external libraries, no server
  changes. Works in Chrome, Edge, Safari (partial). Firefox unsupported
  (button stays hidden).
- **Send button polish.** Send button redesigned as a 34px icon-only circle
  with upward arrow SVG. Hidden by default — appears with pop-in spring
  animation when textarea has content or files are attached. Disappears
  on send or when content is cleared. Hidden while agent is responding.
  Blue fill (#7cb9ff) with glow, scale hover/active for tactile feedback.

### Architecture
- Voice input IIFE in `boot.js`: SpeechRecognition lifecycle with
  `continuous=false`, `interimResults=true`, error handling via `showToast()`.
- `_prefix` variable snapshots existing textarea content on recording start
  so dictation appends rather than overwrites.
- `btnSend.onclick` stops active recognition before sending (send guard).
- CSS: `.mic-btn`, `.mic-btn.recording` (red pulse), `.mic-status`,
  `.mic-dot`, `@keyframes mic-pulse`.
- `updateSendBtn()` in `ui.js` tracks textarea content, pending files,
  and busy state. Hooked into `setBusy()`, `renderTray()`, `autoResize()`,
  and input event listener.
- CSS: `.send-btn` redesigned (circle, glow), `.send-btn.visible` +
  `@keyframes send-pop-in` (spring animation).

### Tests
- 52 new tests in `test_sprint20.py`: voice input HTML, CSS, JS, append
  behaviour, error handling, regressions.
- 33 new tests in `test_sprint20b.py`: send button HTML, CSS, JS,
  animation, visibility logic, regressions. Total: **415 tests**.

---

## [v0.21] Sprint 19 -- Auth + Security Hardening
*April 3, 2026 | 328 tests*

### Features
- **Password authentication (Issue #23).** Optional password auth, off by default.
  Enable via `HERMES_WEBUI_PASSWORD` env var or Settings panel. Password-only
  (single-user app). Signed HMAC HTTP-only cookie with 24h TTL. Minimal dark-themed
  login page at `/login`. API calls without auth return 401; page loads redirect.
  New `api/auth.py` module with hashing, verification, session management.
- **Security headers.** All responses now include `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`,
  `X-Frame-Options: DENY`, `Referrer-Policy: same-origin`.
- **POST body size limit.** Non-upload POST bodies capped at 20MB via `read_body()`.
- **Settings panel additions.** "Access Password" field and "Sign Out" button
  (only visible when auth is active).

### Architecture
- New `api/auth.py`: password hashing (SHA-256 + STATE_DIR salt), signed cookies,
  auth middleware, public path allowlist.
- Auth check in `server.py` do_GET/do_POST before routing.
- `password_hash` added to `_SETTINGS_DEFAULTS`.

### Tests
- 10 new tests in `test_sprint19.py`: auth status, login flow, security headers,
  cache-control, settings password field, request size limit. Total: **328 tests (328 passing)**.

---

## [v0.20] Sprint 18 -- File Preview Auto-Close + Thinking Display + Workspace Tree
*April 3, 2026 | 318 tests*

### Features
- **File preview auto-close on directory navigation.** When viewing a file in
  the right panel and navigating directories (breadcrumbs, up button, folder
  clicks), the preview now automatically closes instead of showing stale
  content. `clearPreview()` extracted as named function and called from
  `loadDir()`. Unsaved preview edits prompt for confirmation before discarding.
- **Thinking/reasoning display.** Assistant messages with structured content
  arrays containing `type:'thinking'` or `type:'reasoning'` blocks (Claude
  extended thinking, o3 reasoning) now render as collapsible gold-themed cards
  above the response text. Collapsed by default. Click the header to expand and
  see the model's reasoning process. Uses `esc()` on all content for XSS safety.
- **Workspace tree view (Issue #22).** Directories expand/collapse in-place
  with toggle arrows. Single-click toggles a directory open/closed. Double-click
  navigates into it (breadcrumb view). Subdirectory contents fetched lazily from
  the API and cached in `S._dirCache`. Nesting depth shown via indentation.
  Empty directories show "(empty)" placeholder. Breadcrumb navigation still
  works alongside the tree view.

### Bug Fixes
- **Stale tree cache on session switch.** `S._dirCache` and `S._expandedDirs`
  are now cleared when navigating to the root directory, preventing session B
  from showing session A's cached file listings.
- **clearPreview() discards unsaved edits.** Navigation now checks
  `_previewDirty` and prompts before discarding unsaved preview changes.

### Architecture
- `clearPreview()` extracted from inline handler to named function in `boot.js`.
- Thinking card styles added to `style.css` (gold-themed, collapsible).
- Tree toggle and empty-directory styles added to `style.css`.

---

## [v0.19] Sprint 17 -- Workspace Polish + Slash Commands + Settings
*April 3, 2026 | 318 tests*

### Features
- **Workspace breadcrumb navigation.** Clicking into subdirectories now shows a
  breadcrumb path bar (e.g. `~ / src / components`) with clickable segments to
  navigate back. An "up" button appears in the panel header when inside a
  subdirectory. File operations (rename, delete, new file/folder) stay in the
  current directory instead of jumping back to root. Foundation for Issue #22
  (tree view).
- **Slash commands.** Type `/` in the composer to see an autocomplete dropdown
  of built-in commands. New `commands.js` module with command registry. Built-in
  commands: `/help`, `/clear`, `/model <name>`, `/workspace <name>`, `/new`.
  Arrow keys navigate, Tab/Enter select, Escape closes. Unrecognized commands
  pass through to the agent normally.
- **Send key setting (Issue #26).** New setting in Settings panel to choose
  between Enter (default) and Ctrl/Cmd+Enter as the send key. Persisted to
  `settings.json` via the existing settings API. Setting loads on boot.
  Server-side validation ensures only valid values (`enter`, `ctrl+enter`).

### Architecture
- New `static/commands.js` module (7th JS module): command registry, parser,
  autocomplete dropdown, and built-in command handlers.
- `send_key` added to `_SETTINGS_DEFAULTS` in `api/config.py` with enum validation
  (`_SETTINGS_ENUM_VALUES` rejects unknown values server-side).
- `S.currentDir` state tracking added to `ui.js` for workspace navigation.

### Tests
- 6 new tests in `test_sprint17.py`: send_key default, round-trip save with
  cleanup, invalid value rejection, unknown key ignored, commands.js served,
  workspace root listing. Total: **318 passed**.

---

## [v0.18.1] Safe HTML Rendering + Sprint 16 Tests
*April 2, 2026 | 289 tests*

### Features
- **Safe HTML rendering in AI responses.** AI models sometimes emit HTML tags
  (`<strong>`, `<em>`, `<code>`, `<br>`) in their responses. Previously these
  showed as literal escaped text. A new pre-pass in `renderMd()` converts safe
  HTML tags to markdown equivalents before the pipeline runs. Code blocks and
  backtick spans are stashed first so their content is never touched.
- **`inlineMd()` helper.** New function for processing inline formatting inside
  list items, blockquotes, and headings. The old code called `esc()` directly,
  which escaped tags that had already been converted by the pre-pass.
- **Safety net.** After the full pipeline, any HTML tags not in the output
  allowlist (`SAFE_TAGS`) are escaped via `esc()`. XSS fully blocked -- 7
  attack vectors tested.
- **Active session gold style.** Active session uses gold/amber (`#e8a030`)
  instead of blue, matching the logo gradient. Project border-left skipped
  when active (gold always wins).

### Tests
- **74 new tests** in `test_sprint16.py`: static analysis (6), behavioral (10),
  exact regression (1), XSS security (7), edge cases (51). Total: 289 passed.

---

## [v0.18] Sprint 16 -- Session Sidebar Visual Polish
*April 2, 2026 | 237 tests*

### Features
- **SVG action icons.** Replaced all emoji HTML entities (star, folder, box,
  duplicate, trash) with monochrome SVG line icons that inherit `currentColor`.
  Consistent rendering across macOS, Linux, and Windows. Defined in a top-level
  `ICONS` constant in `sessions.js`.
- **Action buttons overlay.** All session action buttons (pin, move, archive,
  duplicate, trash) wrapped in a `.session-actions` container with
  `position:absolute`. Titles now use full available width instead of being
  truncated by invisible buttons. Actions appear on hover with a gradient fade
  from the right edge. Overlay auto-hides during inline rename via
  `:has(.session-title-input)`.
- **Pin indicator.** Small gold filled-star icon rendered inline before the
  title only when pinned. Unpinned sessions get full title width with zero
  space reservation.
- **Project border indicator.** Sessions assigned to a project show a colored
  left border matching the project color, replacing the old always-visible
  blue folder button.

### Bug Fixes
- **Session title truncation.** Action icons reserved ~30px of space even when
  invisible, truncating titles. Fixed by overlay container approach.
- **Folder button felt sticky.** Replaced `.has-project` persistent blue button
  with colored left border. Folder button now only appears in hover overlay.

---

## [v0.17.3] Bug Fixes
*April 2, 2026*

### Bug Fixes
- **NameError crash in model discovery.** `logger.debug()` was called in the
  custom endpoint `except` block in `config.py`, but `logger` was never
  imported. Every failed custom endpoint fetch crashed with `NameError`,
  returning HTTP 500 for `/api/models`. Replaced with silent `pass` since
  unreachable endpoints are expected. (PR #24)
- **Project picker clipping and width.** Picker was clipped by
  `overflow:hidden` on ancestor elements. Width calculation improved with
  dynamic sizing (min 160px, max 220px). Event listener `close` handler
  moved after DOM append to fix reference-before-definition. Reordered
  `picker.remove()` before `removeEventListener` for correct cleanup. (PR #25)

---

## [v0.17.2] Model Update
*April 2, 2026*

### Enhancements
- **GLM-5.1 added to Z.AI model list.** New model available in the dropdown
  for Z.AI provider users. (Fixes #17)

---

## [v0.17.1] Security + Bug Fixes
*April 2, 2026 | 237 tests*

### Security
- **Path traversal in static file server.** `_serve_static()` now sandboxes
  resolved paths inside `static/` via `.relative_to()`. Previously
  `GET /static/../../.hermes/config.yaml` could expose API keys.
- **XSS in markdown renderer.** All captured groups in bold, italic, headings,
  blockquotes, list items, table cells, and link labels now run through `esc()`
  before `innerHTML` insertion.
- **Skill category path traversal.** Category param validated to reject `/`
  and `..` to prevent writing outside `~/.hermes/skills/`.
- **Debug endpoint locked to localhost.** `/api/approval/inject_test` returns
  404 to any non-loopback client.
- **CDN resources pinned with SRI hashes.** PrismJS and Mermaid tags now have
  `integrity` + `crossorigin` attributes. Mermaid pinned to `@10.9.3`.
- **Project color CSS injection.** Color field validated against
  `^#[0-9a-fA-F]{3,8}$` to prevent `style.background` injection.
- **Project name length limit.** Capped at 128 chars, empty-after-strip rejected.

### Bug Fixes
- **OpenRouter model routing regression.** `resolve_model_provider()` was
  incorrectly stripping provider prefixes from OpenRouter model IDs (e.g.
  `openai/gpt-5.4-mini` became `gpt-5.4-mini` with provider `openai`),
  causing AIAgent to look for OPENAI_API_KEY and crash. Fix: only strip
  prefix when `config.provider` explicitly matches that direct-API provider.
- **Project picker invisible.** Dropdown was clipped by `.session-item`
  `overflow:hidden`. Now appended to `document.body` with `position:fixed`.
- **Project picker stretched full width.** Added `max-width:220px;
  width:max-content` to constrain the fixed-positioned picker.
- **No way to create project from picker.** Added "+ New project" item at
  the bottom of the picker dropdown.
- **Folder button undiscoverable.** Now shows persistently (blue, 60%
  opacity) when session belongs to a project.
- **Picker event listener leak.** `removeEventListener` added to all picker
  item onclick handlers.
- **Redundant sys.path.insert calls removed.** Two cron handler imports no
  longer prepend the agent dir (already on sys.path via config.py).

---

## [v0.17] Sprint 15 -- Session Projects + Code Copy + Tool Card Toggle
*April 1, 2026 | 237 tests*

### Features
- **Session projects.** Named groups for organizing sessions. A project filter
  bar (subtle chips) sits between the search input and the session list. Each
  project has a name and color. Click a chip to filter; "All" shows everything.
  Create inline (+), rename (double-click), delete (right-click). Assign sessions
  via folder icon button with dropdown picker. Projects stored in `projects.json`.
  Session model gains `project_id` field. 5 new API endpoints.
- **Code block copy button.** Every code block gets a "Copy" button in the
  language header bar (or top-right for plain blocks). Click copies to clipboard,
  shows "Copied!" for 1.5s.
- **Tool card expand/collapse.** When a message has 2+ tool cards, "Expand all /
  Collapse all" toggle appears above the card group.

---

## [v0.16.2] Model List Updates + base_url Passthrough
*April 1, 2026 | 247 tests*

### Bug Fixes
- **MiniMax model list updated.** Replaced stale ABAB 6.5 models with current
  MiniMax-M2.7, M2.7-highspeed, M2.5, M2.5-highspeed, M2.1 lineup matching
  hermes-agent upstream. (Fixes #6)
- **Z.AI/GLM model list updated.** Replaced GLM-4 series with current GLM-5,
  GLM-5 Turbo, GLM-4.7, GLM-4.5, GLM-4.5 Flash lineup.
- **base_url passthrough to AIAgent.** `resolve_model_provider()` now reads
  `base_url` from config.yaml and passes it to AIAgent, so providers with
  custom endpoints (MiniMax, Z.AI, local LLMs) route to the correct API.

---

## [v0.16.1] Community Fixes -- Mobile + Auth + Provider Routing
*April 1, 2026 | 247 tests*

Community contributions from @deboste, reviewed and refined.

### Bug Fixes
- **Mobile responsive layout.** Comprehensive `@media(max-width:640px)` rules
  for topbar, messages, composer, tool cards, approval cards, and settings modal.
  Uses `100dvh` with `100vh` fallback to fix composer cutoff on mobile browsers.
  Textarea `font-size:16px` prevents iOS/Android auto-zoom on focus.
- **Reverse proxy basic auth support.** All `fetch()` and `EventSource` URLs now
  constructed via `new URL(path, location.origin)` to strip embedded credentials
  per Fetch spec. `credentials:'include'` on fetch, `withCredentials:true` on
  EventSource ensure auth headers are forwarded through reverse proxies.
- **Model provider routing.** New `resolve_model_provider()` helper in
  `api/config.py` strips provider prefix from dropdown model IDs (e.g.
  `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6` → `claude-sonnet-4.6`) and passes the correct
  `provider` to AIAgent. Handles cross-provider selection by matching against
  known direct-API providers.

---

## [v0.16] Sprint 14 -- Visual Polish + Workspace Ops + Session Organization
*March 30, 2026 | 233 tests*

### Features
- **Mermaid diagram rendering.** Code blocks tagged `mermaid` render as
  diagrams inline. Mermaid.js loaded lazily from CDN on first encounter.
  Dark theme with matching colors. Falls back to code block on parse error.
- **Message timestamps.** Subtle HH:MM time next to each role label. Full
  date/time on hover tooltip. User messages get `_ts` field when sent.
- **File rename.** Double-click any filename in workspace panel to rename
  inline. `POST /api/file/rename` endpoint with path traversal protection.
- **Folder create.** Folder icon button in workspace panel header. Prompt
  for name, `POST /api/file/create-dir` endpoint.
- **Session tags.** Add `#tag` to session titles. Tags shown as colored
  chips in sidebar. Click a tag to filter the session list.
- **Session archive.** Archive icon on each session. Archived sessions
  hidden by default; "Show N archived" toggle at top of list. Backend
  `POST /api/session/archive` with `archived` field on Session model.

### Bug Fixes
- **Date grouping fix.** Session list groups (Today/Yesterday/Earlier) now
  use `created_at` instead of `updated_at`, preventing sessions from jumping
  between groups when auto-titling touches `updated_at`.

---

## [v0.15] Sprint 13 -- Alerts + Session QoL + Polish
*March 30, 2026 | 221 tests*

### Features
- **Cron completion alerts.** New `GET /api/crons/recent` endpoint. UI polls every
  30s (pauses when tab is hidden). Toast notification per completion with status icon.
  Red badge count on Tasks nav tab, cleared when tab is opened.
- **Background agent error alerts.** When a streaming session errors out and the user
  is viewing a different session, a persistent red banner appears above the messages:
  "Session X has encountered an error." View button navigates, Dismiss clears.
- **Session duplicate.** Copy icon on each session in the sidebar (visible on hover).
  Creates a new session with the same workspace and model, titled "(copy)".
- **Browser tab title.** `document.title` updates to show the active session title
  (e.g. "My Task -- Hermes"). Resets to "Hermes" when no session is active.

### Bug Fixes
- Click guard added for duplicate button to prevent accidental session navigation.

---

## [v0.14] Sprint 12 -- Settings Panel + Reliability + Session QoL
*March 30, 2026 | 211 tests*

### Features
- **Settings panel.** Gear icon in topbar opens slide-in overlay. Persist default
  model and workspace server-side in `settings.json`. Server reads on startup.
- **SSE auto-reconnect.** When EventSource drops mid-stream, attempts one reconnect
  using the same stream_id after 1.5s. Shared `_wireSSE()` function eliminates
  handler duplication.
- **Pin sessions.** Star icon on each session. Pinned sessions float to top of sidebar
  under a gold "Pinned" header. Persisted in session JSON.
- **Import session from JSON.** Upload button in sidebar. Creates new session with
  fresh ID from exported JSON file.

### Bug Fixes
- `models.py` uses `_cfg.DEFAULT_MODEL` module reference so `save_settings()` changes
  take effect for `new_session()`.
- Full-scan fallback sort in `all_sessions()` now accounts for pinned sessions.
- `save_settings()` whitelists known keys only, rejecting arbitrary data.
- Escape key closes settings overlay.

---

## [v0.13] Sprint 11 -- Multi-Provider Models + Streaming Smoothness
*March 30, 2026 | 201 tests*

### Features
- **Multi-provider model support.** New `GET /api/models` endpoint discovers configured
  providers from `config.yaml`, `auth.json`, and API key environment variables. The model
  dropdown now populates dynamically from whatever providers the user has set up (Anthropic,
  OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, Nous Portal, OpenRouter, etc.). Falls back to the hardcoded
  OpenRouter list when no providers are detected. Sessions with unlisted models auto-add
  them to the dropdown.
- **Smooth scroll pinning.** During streaming, auto-scroll only when the user is near the
  bottom of the message area. If the user scrolls up to read earlier content, new tokens
  no longer yank them back down. Pinning resumes when they scroll back to the bottom.

### Architecture
- **Routes extracted to api/routes.py.** All 49 GET/POST route handlers moved from server.py
  into `api/routes.py` (802 lines). server.py is now a 76-line thin shell: Handler class
  with structured logging, dispatch to `handle_get()`/`handle_post()`, and `main()`.
  Completes the server split started in Sprint 10.
- **Cleaned up duplicate dead-code routes** that existed in the old `do_GET` (skills/save,
  skills/delete, memory/write were duplicated in both GET and POST handlers).

### Bug Fixes
- Regression tests updated for new route module structure.

---

## [v0.12.2] Concurrency + Correctness Sweeps
*March 31, 2026 | 190 tests*

Two systematic audits of all concurrent multi-session scenarios. Each finding
became a regression test so it cannot silently return.

### Sweep 1 (R10-R12)
- **R10: Approval response to wrong session.** `respondApproval()` used
  `S.session.session_id` -- whoever you were viewing. If session A triggered
  a dangerous command requiring approval and you switched to B then clicked
  Allow, the approval went to B's session_id. Agent on A stayed stuck. Fixed:
  approval events tag `_approvalSessionId`; `respondApproval()` uses that.
- **R11: Activity bar showed cross-session tool status.** Session A's tool
  name appeared in session B's activity bar while you were viewing B. Fixed:
  `setStatus()` in the tool SSE handler is now inside the `activeSid` guard.
- **R12: Live tool cards vanished on switch-away and back.** Switching back to
  an in-flight session showed empty live cards even though tools had fired.
  Fixed: `loadSession()` INFLIGHT branch now restores cards from `S.toolCalls`.

### Sweep 2 (R13-R15)
- **R13: Settled tool cards never rendered after response completes.**
  `renderMessages()` has a `!S.busy` guard on tool card rendering. It was
  called with `S.busy=true` in the done handler -- tool cards were skipped
  every time. Fixed: `S.busy=false` set inline before `renderMessages()`.
- **R14: Wrong model sent for sessions with unlisted model.** `send()` used
  `$('modelSelect').value` which could be stale if the session's model isn't
  in the dropdown. Fixed: now uses `S.session.model || $('modelSelect').value`.
- **R15: Stale live tool cards in new sessions.** `newSession()` didn't call
  `clearLiveToolCards()`. Fixed.

---

## [v0.12.1] Sprint 10 Post-Release Fixes
*March 31, 2026 | 177 tests*

Critical regressions introduced during the server.py split, caught by users and fixed immediately.

- **`uuid` not imported in server.py** -- `chat/start` returned 500 (NameError) on every new message
- **`AIAgent` not imported in api/streaming.py** -- agent thread crashed immediately, SSE returned 404
- **`has_pending` not imported in api/streaming.py** -- NameError during tool approval checks
- **`Session.__init__` missing `tool_calls` param** -- 500 on any session with tool history
- **SSE loop did not break on `cancel` event** -- connection hung after cancel
- **Regression test file added** (`tests/test_regressions.py`): 10 tests, one per introduced bug. These form a permanent regression gate so each class of error can never silently return.

---

## [v0.12] Sprint 10 -- Server Health + Operational Polish
*March 31, 2026 | 167 tests*

### Post-sprint Bug Fixes
- SSE loop now breaks on `cancel` event (was hanging after cancel)
- `setBusy(false)` now always hides the Cancel button
- `S.activeStreamId` properly initialized in the S global state object
- Tool card "Show more" button uses data attributes instead of inline JSON.stringify (XSS/parse safety)
- Version label updated to v0.2
- `Session.__init__` accepts `**kwargs` for forward-compatibility with future JSON fields
- Test cron jobs now isolated via `HERMES_HOME` env var in conftest (no more pollution of real jobs.json)
- `last_workspace` reset after each test in conftest (prevents workspace state bleed between tests)
- Tool cards now grouped per assistant turn instead of piled before last message
- Tool card insertion uses `data-msg-idx` attribute correctly (was `msgIdx`, matching HTML5 dataset API)

### Architecture
- **server.py split into api/ modules.** 1,150 lines -> 673 lines in server.py.
  Extracted modules: `api/config.py` (101), `api/helpers.py` (57), `api/models.py` (114),
  `api/workspace.py` (77), `api/upload.py` (77), `api/streaming.py` (187).
  server.py is now the thin routing shell only. All business logic is independently importable.

### Features
- **Background task cancel.** Red "Cancel" button appears in the activity bar while a task
  is running. Calls `GET /api/chat/cancel?stream_id=X`. The agent thread receives a cancel
  event, emits a 'cancel' SSE event, and the UI shows "*Task cancelled.*" in the conversation.
  Note: a tool call already in progress (e.g. a long terminal command) completes before
  the cancel takes effect -- same behavior as CLI Ctrl+C.
- **Cron run history viewer.** Each job in the Tasks panel now has an "All runs" button.
  Click to expand a list of up to 20 past runs with timestamps, each collapsible to show
  the full output. Click again to hide.
- **Tool card UX polish.** Three improvements:
  1. Pulsing blue dot on cards for in-progress tools (distinct from completed cards)
  2. Smart snippet truncation at sentence boundaries instead of hard byte cutoff
  3. "Show more / Show less" toggle on tool results longer than 220 chars

---

## [v0.11] Sprint 9 -- Codebase Health + Daily Driver Gaps
*March 31, 2026 | 149 tests*

The sprint that closed the last gaps for heavy agentic use.

### Architecture
- **app.js replaced by 6 modules.** `app.js` is deleted. The browser now loads 6 focused files:
  `ui.js` (530), `workspace.js` (132), `sessions.js` (189), `messages.js` (221),
  `panels.js` (555), `boot.js` (142). The modules are a superset of the original app.js
  (two functions -- `loadTodos`, `toolIcon` -- were added directly to the modules after the split).
  No single file exceeds 555 lines.

### Features
- **Tool call cards inline.** Every tool Hermes uses now appears as a collapsible card
  in the conversation between the user message and the response. Live during streaming,
  restored from session history on reload. Shows tool name, preview, args, result snippet.
- **Attachment metadata persists on reload.** File badges on user messages survive page
  refresh. Server stores filenames on the user message in session JSON.
- **Todo list panel.** New checkmark tab in the sidebar. Shows current task list parsed
  from the most recent todo tool result in message history. Status icons: pending (○),
  in-progress (◉), completed (✓), cancelled (✗). Auto-refreshes when panel is active.
- **Model preference persists.** Last-used model saved to localStorage. Restored on page
  load. New sessions inherit it automatically.

### Bug Fixes
- Tool card toggle arrow only shown when card has expandable content
- Attachment tagging matches by message content to avoid wrong-turn tagging
- SSE tool event was missing `args` field
- `/api/session` GET was not returning `tool_calls` (history lost on reload)

---

## [v0.10] Sprint 8 -- Daily Driver Finish Line
*March 31, 2026 | 139 tests*

### Features
- **Edit user message + regenerate.** Hover any user bubble, click the pencil icon.
  Inline textarea, Enter submits, Escape cancels. Truncates session at that point and re-runs.
- **Regenerate last response.** Retry icon on the last assistant bubble only.
- **Clear conversation.** "Clear" button in topbar. Wipes messages, keeps session slot.
- **Syntax highlighting.** Prism.js via CDN (deferred). Python, JS, bash, JSON, SQL and more.

### Bug Fixes
- Reconnect banner false positive on normal loads (90-second window)
- Session list clipping on short screens
- Favicon 404 console noise (server now returns 204)
- Edit textarea auto-resize on open
- Send button guard while inline edit is active
- Escape closes dropdown, clears search, cancels active edit
- Approval polling not restarted on INFLIGHT session switch-back
- Version label updated to v0.10

### Hotfix: Message Queue + INFLIGHT
- **Message queue.** Sending while busy queues the message with toast + badge.
  Drains automatically on completion. Cleared on session switch.
- **Message stays visible on switch-away/back.** loadSession checks INFLIGHT before
  server fetch, so sent message and thinking dots persist correctly.
