## Unreleased
+## 1.5.0
+
+- **A model's personality is now yours, not the instance's.** Each account gets
+ its own version of each model's character: a personality is something a model
+ works out *with somebody*, so two people talking to the same model are no longer
+ talking to the same one, and neither can see the other's. What a model **is** —
+ its description and the facts other models are told about it — stays the same
+ for everybody, because that is a property of the model rather than of a
+ relationship.
+
+ The box on the model's page is now the **default personality**: the starting
+ point somebody has until the model has written its own with them. It is not
+ layered underneath theirs afterwards — two personalities at once would
+ contradict each other and nobody could tell which was losing. Your own
+ personalities, their history, and what each model makes of you are all under
+ **Memory** in your settings, and deleting a personality resets it to the
+ default rather than removing it.
+
+ ⚠ If you installed 1.4.0 — released and superseded the same day — anything a
+ model wrote about you then is sitting in the wrong place and reads as a
+ personality rather than as an impression. There is a note in
+ `db/migrations.py` with the one statement that moves it; deleting it is just as
+ reasonable, since nothing had time to write one worth keeping.
+
+- Fixed: **a side panel was wider than a narrow phone and hung off the edge.**
+ The canvas, the terminal and the details panel all carried a minimum width of
+ 384px, which beats the rule that was supposed to cap them at the screen — so on
+ a 360px phone they were 24px too wide with their left-hand edge cut off, and on
+ a 320px one, 64px. Nothing scrolled sideways, which is why a narrow-width pass
+ looking for a horizontal scrollbar never found it: the panels are fixed in
+ place, and fixed overflow does not make a page scroll. They are now exactly as
+ wide as the screen on a phone, and keep their column on a tablet.
+
+ The details panel was worse than the other two: it had no cap at all, and its
+ width is a *preference* you can drag to 2400px on a desktop. That number was
+ arriving verbatim on a phone.
+
+- **The Install button now says why it is missing**, instead of not being there.
+ Four different things stop a browser installing this and all four looked
+ identical; the hint named only the least likely. It now reports whether the page
+ is a secure context, what the browser said if the service worker was refused,
+ and whether the browser simply never offers it — and names the cause that
+ actually bites a self-hosted instance: **a certificate the phone does not
+ trust**. A private or self-signed certificate means no service worker, and no
+ service worker means no install, however good the rest of it is. Installing the
+ CA on the device is the fix, and the app can now tell you that is what is
+ wrong.

-"""Who a model is, and what it has made of the person it is talking to.
+"""Who a model is with one person, and what it makes of them.
-Two different things, one table, and the discriminator is a column:
+Both are per **(model, person)**: a model's character is something it develops
+with somebody, so two people talking to the same model are not talking to the
+same personality, and nobody on a shared instance inherits anybody else's.
+`Model.description` and `Model.notes` remain the instance-wide facts about a
+model -- those are what it *is*, not who it has become with you.
-* ``owner_id IS NULL`` -- the model's **persona**. Instance-wide, seeded by an
- administrator, and rewritten by the model itself when it is allowed to.
-* ``owner_id`` set -- that model's **read of that person**, kept as it goes.
- Per (model, person) rather than per model, because two models may honestly
- arrive at different views of the same somebody, and on an instance with more
- than one account nobody should inherit another person's reflection.
+Two tables rather than one with a discriminator, and the reason is a constraint
+rather than taste. 1.4.0 shipped `personas` with `UNIQUE(model_key, owner_id)`,
+SQLite cannot alter a constraint, and this project's schema changes are additive
+only -- so a `kind` column would have left an upgraded instance unable to hold
+both a personality and an impression for one pair. A new table has no such
+problem.
-Why not a fourth prompt layer: because *"system prompts replace, never stack"*
-is a decision this project has already taken. Both of these reach the model as
-``{{persona}}`` and ``{{person_view}}``, through ordinary fragments, exactly the
-way the memories block does.
+* **Persona** -- the personality. `owner_id` set is that person's; `owner_id
+ IS NULL` is the **default** an administrator writes on the model's page, which
+ is what a person starts from before the model has written anything of its own.
+* **Impression** -- what that model makes of that person. Always somebody's,
+ never instance-wide.
-⚠ **``model_key`` is the model's text id, not the ``Model`` row's primary key**,
-and there is deliberately no foreign key to ``models``. "Test & refresh" on the
-connection screen deletes any model the endpoint no longer lists and recreates
-it when it comes back -- so a row keyed on the primary key would lose a model's
-whole personality to a refresh taken while its endpoint happened to be loading
-something else. This is the reasoning ``Chat.model_id`` already carries: the
-text id survives, and a row naming a model that no longer exists is invisible
-rather than broken.

+stored them there, keyed by `owner_id` being set -- which is now what a person's
+own *personality* means. They read as personalities rather than as impressions.
+It is one SQL statement to move or remove them and it is recorded in
+`db/migrations.MANUAL_STEPS`; nothing rewrites them automatically, because a
