Administration has a nav of its own rather than the chat sidebar, and 1.1.0 gave every `.sidebar` the drawer behaviour -- starts closed, slides in -- without giving that one any of the drawer's furniture. No id for the toggle to resolve, no toggle, no close, no scrim: it sat at left:-280 with nothing in the application able to open it. The close button and the scrim are partials now, used by both, and the test that guards it *finds* sidebars by scanning the templates rather than working from a list, which is exactly why this one was missed. The chat, measured at 390px, spent forty pixels of side padding and a forty-four pixel avatar column before drawing a word -- close to a quarter of the screen on margin, so anything that could not wrap had to be reached sideways. Padding halved and the avatar moved above the turn; a code block gained about sixty pixels. Worse in the same row: `.topbar__actions` asked for 317px of a 390px bar, because the control that used to give in that row is display:none below a tablet width, so the group went rigid and the title -- flex: 1 -- was squeezed to exactly zero. And `.btn--icon` sets a width with no `flex: none`, so the row shrank the button instead of the text: the sidebar toggle measured eighteen pixels across. The picker gives now, and shows its avatar rather than its name on a phone. Also the instrument, which lied twice more: it could not see horizontal overflow at all, because `.shell` is overflow:hidden and its "is this contained" test therefore answered yes for everything on the page; and run from a copy it resolved `STATIC` to a directory that did not exist, rewrote every asset URL to a dead file:// path and reported the whole application overflowing by thirty thousand pixels. It resolves from the imported package now and asserts that what it rewrote to is really there. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Changelog
What changed, per version, for somebody using or running LLeMbas — not a restatement of the commit log. If a change fixed something that looked like it worked, that is worth a line: those are the ones nobody would otherwise know to stop working around.
Newest first. Versions are __version__ in src/lembas/__init__.py, which is
the only place a version is written.
The first tagged release is 1.0.0. Everything below it shipped as a running deployment rather than as a release, and is recorded here so the release notes for 1.0.0 have something to be assembled from.
Unreleased
1.1.2
Two things a phone found that 1.1.0's phone pass had not.
- Fixed: the administration area could not be navigated on a phone. Admin has a nav of its own rather than the chat sidebar, and 1.1.0 gave every sidebar the drawer behaviour — starts closed, slides in — without giving that one any of the drawer's furniture. So it sat off-screen with no button to open it, no close, and nothing to tap beside it: every administration page was reachable and then a dead end. It now opens, closes and dims the page like the other one, and a test refuses any future sidebar that cannot be opened.
- Fixed: the chat gave nearly a quarter of a phone screen to margins, so anything that could not wrap had to be scrolled to sideways. The thread's side padding is halved, and the speaker's avatar moves above the turn instead of sitting in a 44px column beside every line of it — a code block gained about sixty pixels of readable width.
- Fixed: the chat's title was squeezed to nothing. The row's designated shrinker is hidden below a tablet width, so on a phone the controls went rigid and asked for 317 pixels of a 390 pixel bar; the heading was not truncated, it simply stopped occupying space. The model picker gives now, and on a phone it shows its avatar rather than its name — the name is one tap away and the title is not.
- Tick boxes and the smaller buttons are big enough to hit on a phone. A checkbox is drawn by the browser at about sixteen pixels whatever the type around it, which made it the smallest target in the application by some way, and the admin lists are mostly checkboxes.
- Fixed: icon buttons could be squashed below their own size. The sidebar toggle measured eighteen pixels across on a phone, under half its target, because a full row shrank the button rather than the text beside it.
1.1.1
One bug, and it is the one that made 1.1.0 look broken the moment you updated to it. If you saw a stray ✕ beside the logo on a desktop, controls that looked half-styled, or a page that would not scroll, this is why — and none of it was in the code you were running; it was the code your browser had not fetched.
-
Fixed: updating showed you the new page drawn with the old stylesheet. Pages are always fetched fresh, while the CSS and JavaScript beside them come from the cache the offline support keeps — and that cache was keyed on the release while the files inside it were not. For as long as the previous release's worker was still in charge, you got 1.1.0's markup over 1.0.x's stylesheet: a close button meant for the phone drawer appeared on the desktop with nothing to style or place it, and anything else the new layout depended on was simply absent. Every asset now carries the release in its address, so a new page cannot be handed an old stylesheet whatever the cache holds.
It is self-correcting: updating to this version is enough, and no cache needs clearing.
-
The sidebar header is two slots — the name, and a rail on the right for the drawer's own controls — instead of a brand with a button appended to it. The close button sits in that rail, at the top right where it belongs, and a second control added later lands beside it rather than pushing the name around.
1.1.0
Mostly about using this on a phone, where it turns out a good deal of it could not be used at all.
The sidebar on a phone
- Fixed: the sidebar opened over the page on every phone, and the button that closes it was underneath it. Below a phone width the sidebar is a 280px panel laid over the page; nothing ever closed it, and the only control that could was in the bar behind it. It now starts closed at that width, slides in when you ask for it, dims the page behind it, and closes by tapping beside it, by Escape, or by its own button — which is inside the drawer, where you can reach it.
- Fixed: seven of the eight pages with a sidebar had no way to show or hide it at all. Only the chat page ever had that button. Settings, Messages, Reports, Scheduled, Library, Connections and a folder's own page did not — which on a phone meant arriving at a page already covered by a panel with nothing to do about it. Settings is where the Install and Notifications buttons live, so this was also why they were hard to reach.
- The toggle no longer claims the sidebar is open when it is not, which matters to anyone using a screen reader.
Anything you tap
- Every control is now at least 44px on a touch screen, instead of 36px — or 28px for the small ones, which included renaming and deleting a chat, all seven actions on a message, and every panel's close button. The dismiss button on a notification had no size of its own at all and was about 18 by 7 pixels.
- Fixed: renaming or deleting a chat, and copying, editing, regenerating or reading aloud a message, were impossible on a phone. All of them appeared on hover, and there is no hover on a phone; tapping the row simply opened it.
- Fixed: the settings tabs scrolled sideways with nothing to say so, hiding Appearance, Memory and Security off the right-hand edge of a phone screen. There is a fade at the edge now, and a flick lands on a tab.
- Installed on an iPhone, the page ran underneath the clock and the home indicator. It no longer does.
Installing it
- The install prompt now offers the richer dialog rather than the terse bar, and a long press on the icon offers New chat, Messages and Scheduled.
- Fixed: a light-themed instance installed to a phone showed a near-black splash screen and then opened parchment, and every page load flashed dark browser chrome before the stylesheet had run. Both follow the theme now.
- Fixed: a new version used to take over pages you were reading, swapping the stylesheets under an open tab while it emptied the cache they came from. It waits and offers you a reload instead.
- Fixed: the small mark beside a notification on Android was a solid grey square, because the icon it used has no transparency to be cut from.
- Fixed: notifications silently stopped working for good if the browser ever replaced its own subscription, which browsers do.
- Pages start loading a little sooner, and the two icons a launcher actually crops are now kept for offline use.
Things that move
- Every request the application makes now says it is happening, with a thin bar across the top of the window. Nothing did before, so anything slower than a few milliseconds looked like a click that had not registered.
- The thinking indicator turns rather than fading, so a model that is working and one that has stopped no longer look alike.
- Dialogs, the drawer and the panels arrive and leave rather than appearing; buttons answer a press; cards lift under the pointer. All of it stops if you have asked your system for reduced motion.
Archiving
- A chat can be archived — out of the list, into a group at the bottom of the sidebar, and back again whenever you like. The setting behind this has existed and been honoured since folders arrived; nothing had ever been able to switch it on.
Smaller things
- Extra headers can be set on a connection. They were sent with every request already and no form could write them, so OpenRouter's attribution headers were documented and unreachable.
- A model is no longer told that it will hear when a background job finishes on instances where that notification is switched off.
- The guidance for asking you a question can now be edited like every other piece of the prompt. It was the only one that could not be.
- Several controls that a screen reader announced as nothing now have names, and two lists that claimed to be tab strips now describe themselves honestly.
- Borders resolve through a token like every other value, so a theme can change
one. They were a literal
1pxin about ninety places, which was the largest patch of hard-coded value left in the stylesheets. chat.cssmay now contain media queries. It was forbidden them, for a good reason that had stopped applying: what the ban protected is asserted directly now, which is both narrower and stronger.
1.0.4
Six things that looked like they worked. Five of them were found by reading the code rather than by anybody reporting them, which is what they have in common: none of these fails loudly, and two of them correct themselves if you reload.
- Fixed: a reply lost the model's name and picture the moment it finished. While a reply streams it is attributed correctly; at the instant it lands, the frame that replaces the bubble was looking the models up as nobody, and "no user" answers "no models" rather than "all models". So a finished reply swapped the model's avatar for the plain leaf mark, put the instance's name where the model's should be, and grew a raw model id beside it. Reloading the page put it all back, which is why this survived a release: it is only ever wrong until you look away.
- Fixed: a limit on how many replies an account may write at once could be stepped over by pressing New chat. It was enforced when sending into a chat that already existed and nowhere else — not on a new chat, not on editing an earlier message, not on sending a queued one, and not on regenerating. Four of the six ways to start a reply ignored it, including the commonest.
- Fixed: a custom theme's confirmations and warnings kept the built-in
theme's colour behind them. Setting
successorwarningmoved the text and left the background it sits on, because the faded companion colour was derived for three of the five settable colours. Visible on every alert and badge of those two kinds, on the "on" state in the permissions list, and on the added lines of every diff in an agent chat. - Fixed: on a phone, every page with a sidebar could be scrolled past its own bottom into empty background. The shell was sized to the part of the screen you can actually see and the document around it to the part you can see with the browser's toolbar retracted; the difference between those is real on a phone and nil on a desktop, which is why it was never noticed on one. Reported on Settings and true everywhere. A flick that ran off the end of a list now stops there as well, instead of dragging the page behind it.
- Fixed: the conversation was rendering every assistant message twice on every page load — once into Markdown that nothing read, and once the way it is actually shown. The same was true of Messages, for your own turns. Nothing looked wrong; a long conversation was simply slower to open than it needed to be, every time, along with every rewind and every compaction.
- Fixed: a test file meant to skip itself on a machine without
setsidnever did, because it set its marker twice and the second one replaced the first. - Removed: an endpoint serving a message's unrendered Markdown, which nothing had ever called — the copy button reads the page it is already on.
1.0.3
Two Arch-isms in the installer, both of which only a Debian machine could find.
deploy/lxc-install.sh had never been executed — it was reviewed and
syntax-checked, which is not the same claim — and running it is what found them.
- Fixed:
deploy/install.shcould not create its virtualenv on Debian, and sodeploy/lxc-install.shcould not finish. It called barepython, which is Python 3 on Arch — the machine this was written and only ever run on — and does not exist on Debian at all unlesspython-is-python3is installed. The LXC bootstrap installspython3, so the install aborted at the virtualenv step with the service user, the bind mount and the clone already made. It now callspython3, which is right on both. - Fixed: the service account was created with
--shell /usr/bin/nologin, which is where Arch keeps it and where Debian does not. Nothing invoked it —sudo -uexecs directly and systemd'sUser=never reads a shell — so the account worked either way, but it was created pointing at a file that was not there. Now/usr/sbin/nologin, which is correct on Debian and resolves on Arch too, since Arch's/usr/sbinis a symlink tobin.
1.0.2
- The documentation moved to the wiki.
CLAUDE.md,PLAN.mdanddocs/are gone from the repository: they are documentation about this project rather than part of it, and a clone should carry software. Nothing was lost — the working notes, the roadmap and the eight topic notes are all there, with every internal link rewritten, and the README now opens onto them. Where a source comment said "seeCLAUDE.md" it now says "see the working notes". - Entries below this one still name
PLAN.mdanddocs/notes/…, and are left as they were written. A changelog records what happened at the time; rewriting old entries to match a later decision makes it a worse record, not a better one.
1.0.1
- Fixed: the Updates page showed "v1.0.0 (reports 1.0.0)" — two spellings of
one version, in a note whose whole purpose is to warn that a tag was cut
before the version bump.
git describeanswers with the tag's name, and tags here carry av. Found by cutting the first release, which is the only place it could have been.
1.0.0
The first release. Every version before it shipped as a running deployment rather than as a release; this is what those add up to, and the point at which it is worth somebody else installing.
What it is. A self-hosted web interface for OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Server-rendered, no build step, no CDN, one SQLite file. Point it at whatever you run — llama.cpp, LM Studio, vLLM, Ollama, OpenRouter, OpenAI — and it works the same.
What arrived since 0.8.1
- Things that happen because time passed. Say "every Monday at nine" and a model sets it up itself, against the same recurrence rule the manual form uses. A run can file a report you read later, send you a message, or work in a chat of its own.
- News that finds you. A dot in the sidebar, a count in the tab title while
you are looking elsewhere, and web push so a schedule firing at seven in
the morning reaches a browser that is shut. Opt-in per device, and the one
thing here that contacts an outside service —
services/push.pysays so plainly and says what it costs. - Helpers. A reply can hand a self-contained piece of work to another model that runs on its own and reports back, several at once. A helper cannot ask questions, cannot send helpers of its own, changes nothing unless asked, and on a machine runs only a fixed list of read-only commands.
- Drawing. Point it at a ComfyUI and a model can make images, against workflow templates and defaults you set — size, steps, sampler, scheduler, checkpoint. It reviews its own result and can try again.
- Semantic search. Pick an embedding model and library search fuses keyword and meaning, so "how do I get paid" finds a document that says "invoicing". Choosing none is not a degraded mode: it is byte-for-byte the keyword search that was always there, with nothing written and no requests made.
- Quotas and sharing. Monthly tokens, concurrent replies, agent wall clock, images a day, helpers a reply — resolved by maximum across a person's groups, with zero meaning no limit. Documents, notes, skills and reports can be handed to a group or a person, read-only, with a Shared with me filter everywhere. And a screen that answers "what can this account actually do?" by naming where each permission came from.
- Make it yours. Name, tagline, logo, favicon and launcher icons; the Middle-earth wording is editable data; custom themes defined as a set of colours rather than a stylesheet.
- Install it and update it. A Dockerfile, a Proxmox container script, and an
/admin/updatespage showing what is running, what is available and what changed between. The button that applies an update is opt-in and cannot do the work itself — it writes a file that a systemd unit picks up, because a web application that can restart its own service is one whose worst day is much worse.
The part worth reading
Five audit passes went into this release rather than one, and they found things that had shipped looking correct. These are the entries somebody stops working around a bug because of:
- Every model was told the time in a zone with no name — on any account that had not chosen one, which is every account by default.
- A helper could write files and run programs on a remote machine,
unattended, in a mode that promises to change nothing.
findwas on the read-only command list, andfind -fprintfwrites a file. - Two ways to get root out of the update helper, one of which needed no compromise at all: root ran a script the unprivileged service account owns, and an update fetches that script as that account.
- Deleting a chat left every file it held on disk — attachments, generated images, all of it, with nothing that would ever look at them again.
- Folder nesting was fully built, documented in the README, and reachable by nothing. So was moving a chat into a folder.
- The terminal silently stopped accepting input after a reconnect, while output kept arriving so the panel looked healthy.
- On the Messages screen, half the keyboard shortcuts did nothing, because two scripts were loaded twice and each toggle ran twice.
- The prompt preview could not show two thirds of what it previews.
- Hints and timestamps failed the contrast minimum in both themes.
Where the edges are
Stated because they are the things worth knowing before you rely on it:
- Nothing executes on the machine LLeMbas runs on. Agent chats run their
commands over SSH on a host you choose, and the security of an agent chat is
the security of that host. There is no sandbox here and that is deliberate —
PLAN.mdrecords the one that was designed and dropped, and why. - One worker. The generation registry, the terminal sessions and the schedule ticker are all in-process. Two workers means two tickers and every schedule firing twice.
- A restart abandons replies in flight, keeping whatever each had.
- Schema changes are additive. New tables and columns apply themselves at startup; renames and drops are manual. The upgrade path is tested from an 0.8.1-shaped database with rows in it.
- Sharing grants reading only.
2283 tests on Python 3.11, 3.12 and 3.14.
0.9.13
The testing pass. 2140 tests became 2283, and writing them found four bugs that no amount of reading had.
- Fixed: the terminal silently stopped accepting input after a reconnect. Change the connection, or let the shell catch up after falling behind, and every keystroke was dropped from then on — while output kept arriving, so the panel looked perfectly healthy. It also announced "Disconnected. Close and reopen to reconnect." about a shell that had just reconnected successfully.
- Fixed: on the Messages screen, half the keyboard did nothing. Two scripts
were loaded twice there, so
Alt+B,Alt+E,Alt+TandAlt+Itoggled their panel twice — which is to say not at all — while/helpopened two dialogs,/imageposted the message twice, and picking an@mention attached the file twice. - Fixed: pressing the microphone while the permission prompt was up opened a recording each time. Only the last was stopped, so the browser's recording indicator stayed on until the tab was closed.
- Fixed: a skill shared with you took its name out of your own library.
Creating your own was refused with "a skill called that already exists. Edit
it instead" — naming a skill you cannot edit, because sharing grants reading
only. The model's
skill_createhit the same dead end. Sharing a curated skill with a team is what sharing is for. - Hints and timestamps are readable now.
--ink-faintfailed the accessibility contrast minimum in both themes — 3.85:1 in Moria, 3.19:1 in Shire, where 4.5:1 is the bar — so the smallest text on every screen was the hardest to read. - The suite runs on Python 3.11 and 3.12 as well as 3.14. It had only ever run on 3.14, while the Docker image ships 3.12 and the packaging claimed 3.11 — so the one interpreter most people would actually run was the one nothing had tested.
- A
docs/notes/release-checklist.mdfor the half of testing a machine cannot do: a real endpoint, a real machine, real hardware, a real pair of eyes.
0.9.12
The security pass. Six findings, all fixed. None is reachable by simply visiting the site; every one of them is a boundary that was supposed to hold and did not.
- Fixed: a helper could write files and run programs on the remote machine,
unattended, in a mode that promises to change nothing. A subagent is pinned
to a fixed list of read-only commands — and
findwas on it.find -fprintfwrites a file,find -execruns a program,find -deleteremoves one, and none of them needs a character the shell-metacharacter guard refuses. A page the model had just read could have asked for a helper and got an SSH key written intoauthorized_keys. Those flags are refused outright now, whatever list a command is on. - Fixed: an SSH connection could be pointed at
0.0.0.0and reach the machine LLeMbas runs on, with the "may a connection point here" setting still reading off. Every other spelling was caught; that one is neither a real destination nor a refused one, and connecting to it goes to localhost. - Fixed, twice, in the update helper — the one place this deliberately crosses a privilege boundary: root ran a script the unprivileged service account owns, and root sourced a file that account can replace. Either turns a compromise of the web application into root on the host, which is exactly what the unprivileged split exists to prevent. The first also meant control of the branch was control of root, with no compromise needed at all. If you installed the update helper before this, re-run the installer — the old wiring stays until you do, and the update script now says so loudly when it notices.
- Fixed: browser notification endpoints skipped the guard that stops the server being aimed at your own network. It was the only outbound request in the codebase not going through it.
- Fixed: a chat could be put in another account's folder, and a folder hands its system prompt to the chats inside it — so that read a setting across an ownership boundary through a field that looks like a tag.
- Fixed: a
"typed into the share panel's search box silently stopped every checkbox in the panel from doing anything. - Fixed: re-running the installer moved the update channel to
stableeven on a host followingedge. The channel lives in two places — the environment file the page reads and the systemd unit the button obeys — and a re-run kept the first while rewriting the second, so an install for some unrelated reason left the page naming one channel and the button deploying another. It now defaults to what the host already follows.
0.9.11
- The Updates page no longer runs the Check the remote button flush against the version and commit above it, where the two read as one block.
0.9.10
The second audit pass: screens that were harder to use than they needed to be. Checked by rendering them in a real browser and measuring, not by reading the CSS.
- Fixed: the Prompts admin page put its reference material first. The Variables legend and the Preview run to a screen each and sat above the tabs, so the editor — the thing the page is for — started two screens down and every tab switch had to move the whole page to be any use. On a short tab it could not move far enough and left the panel stranded above a screenful of nothing. The editor comes first now, the reference after, and the tab bar stays put: measured, it moved 385→642px between tabs before and does not move at all now. The tab bar also sticks to the top, so a long panel does not scroll it away.
- Fixed: custom themes were three fixed slots. A fresh instance opened on fifty-seven empty colour boxes under three identical headings, and a fourth theme could not be made at all. Now: one block per theme you have, plus one blank to add the next, with the colours behind a disclosure — so a theme is a name and a starting point until you ask for more. Up to twelve. The page is half the height it was.
- Fixed: deleting a chat left every file it held on disk. The rows went — the message, the attachments, the generated images — and the files they named stayed, with nothing that would ever look at them again. Four of the five ways a chat can end had this: the delete button, a schedule's task chat, a helper's hidden chat, and deleting an account. There is one function that deletes a chat now, and it removes the files first.
- Fixed, and it is what made the above invisible: a file attached before the
chat existed never learned which chat it belonged to. Anything picked on the
new-chat screen kept an empty
chat_idfor the rest of its life. Six things filter on that, so for those files the model was not told they were attached, the canvas would not open them, and the cleanup could not find them. - Folders can be nested, which the README has always claimed. The route has handled it since folders existed — cycle guard, depth limit — and the sidebar has always drawn a tree; there was simply no control that could ask for it. Moving a folder also respects the depth limit now, which only creating one did.
- The Proxmox container installs the update helper by default. A container
made thirty seconds ago to run one thing is not the shared host the plain
installer has to be careful about, and an appliance you cannot update without
a shell is one nobody updates.
INSTALL_UPDATE_HELPER=0opts out. Docker deliberately has no equivalent: updating a container is pulling an image, and a helper inside one would need the Docker socket, which is root on the host. - The starting points on the new-chat screen are four new ones, aimed at somebody who has just stood an instance up and wants to know what is behind it. Only a fresh install gets them; an instance that has already seeded keeps whatever its administrator has made of the list.
README.mddescribes what this actually is again — schedules, reports, helpers, image generation, semantic search, quotas, sharing, branding and the updates page were all missing, and two things listed as planned had shipped. It gained sections on Docker, the Proxmox container and updating.
0.9.9
The first of five audit passes before 1.0.0 — everything that landed between 0.8.1 and 0.9.8 read as a whole rather than one feature at a time. This one is the main logic, the harness, and every instruction a model is given.
-
Fixed: every model was told the time in a zone with no name. On any account that had not chosen a timezone — which is the default state of every account — the date line shipped as "Times the person gives you are in unless they say otherwise", on every request. The code claimed in two places that the line disappeared instead. It never had.
-
Fixed: the prompt preview could not show most of what it previews. Eleven fragments are gated on things that only exist once there is a real chat, and the preview has none — so the whole agent surface, both scheduling fragments and the helper warning were missing from it whatever you ticked. Editing
tool.agentand pressing preview showed a system message withouttool.agentin it, and nothing said so. Two new controls come with the fix: what kind of chat to preview as, and which agent mode. -
Fixed: a model in Plan mode was told to use a tool it did not have.
plan_updateis withdrawn in that mode in favour ofplan_submit, but its guidance appeared whenever a plan existed — directly under the line saying anything not in your tool list does not exist. -
Fixed: reading one knowledge document could fill the whole context window. Every other reader caps what it returns and says so; this one returned the document whole, and its description said "in full", so it did exactly what it claimed. A long PDF is now cut at 40,000 characters with the model told.
-
Fixed: the guidance about helpers on a machine was wrong in both directions. It denied that a helper can write files, which is a documented option of the tool beside it, and it named seven of the twenty-three commands a helper may run — so a model avoided commands it was allowed to use. Both are now checked against the real list and the real schema by tests, because prose and a constant drift the moment one is edited alone.
-
The tool description for delegating no longer claims a helper gets "the same tools". It gets deliberately fewer, and sizing a task against the wrong set is how a whole phase gets planned around something that will refuse it.
-
The Updates page notices when the update helper on a host was installed for a different channel than the page follows. It is declared in two places —
lembas.envand the systemd unit — and only the installer writes both, so editing one by hand would have left the button deploying something other than what the page named, with nothing anywhere saying so. -
Fixed: release notes from a signed tag rendered the signature block.
_notes_forstripped the PGP header only, and which header appears depends ongpg.format— this repository signs with SSH. -
A
CHANGELOG.md, kept from now on rather than assembled at release time.
0.9.8
Updates follow a channel, not a commit. stable tracks the newest vX.Y.Z
tag; edge tracks the branch tip. A branch tip is not a release — following one
means deploying whatever was pushed five minutes ago — so stable is the default
for anybody who is not the person writing it.
- The Updates page shows a version rather than a commit sha:
1.0.0at a tag,1.0.0-7-gd4f56dseven commits past one, and a bare sha only before the first release exists. - Release notes come out of the annotated tag itself, so no forge API is involved anywhere. That matters: the Gitea API this was checked against returns a 500 from a server-side panic on exactly the releases endpoint.
- A tag with a suffix (
v1.1.0-rc1) is deliberately not a release — git's version sort ranks it abovev1.1.0, so accepting one would step a stable host onto a candidate. - Fixed:
deploy/update.shstopped silently after== fetching ==on any host with no release tags — which was every host. Fetched, not reset, not restarted, and no error printed. - Fixed:
install.shnow refuses anssh://repository URL up front instead of letting the clone fail as a service user with no key.
0.9.7
Packaging, and updating without a shell.
/admin/updates: what is running, what is available, and what changed between. A button applies it — answered by an opt-in systemd helper, because the service runs unprivileged and a web application that can restart its own service is one whose worst day is much worse. Without the helper the page says so and prints the command.Dockerfileanddocker-compose.yml. No secret key, no data and no.gitbaked in; loopback only; a TLS proxy expected in front, because a service worker and a microphone both require HTTPS or localhost.deploy/lxc-install.shcreates an unprivileged Proxmox container and runs the existing installer inside it./healthz, which opens the database rather than only proving the socket is listening.
0.9.6
Permissions, quotas and sharing.
- "What can this account actually do?" answered on screen, naming where each permission came from — admin, the baseline, or a group.
- Users and groups are list-plus-detail, and membership is edited from one side. It was on both, and a save from either overwrote what the other showed.
- Reading and writing split for notes, memory and skills.
- Quotas on a group — monthly tokens, concurrent replies, agent wall clock, images a day, helpers a reply. Resolved by maximum across a person's groups, with zero meaning no limit and winning outright.
- Fixed: deleting a group or an account left every share naming it behind.
forget_principalhad existed since shares did and was called by nobody. - Fixed:
library.sharedefaulted to off, so sharing shipped documented as done and unreachable — the panel only renders for somebody who holds it. - The share panel is its own action with a search box. It used to be checkboxes inside the resource's save form, listing every account on the instance, and a tick only took effect if you also saved the resource.
- Reports are shareable, and every listing has a Shared with me filter.
0.9.5
Extraction settings, embeddings, and hybrid search.
/admin/extraction: upload size, image edge, JPEG quality, PDF pages, extracted characters, orphan age, extra text extensions.- An embedding model can be chosen from models flagged for it. Library search then fuses keyword and semantic ranking, so "how do I get paid" finds a document that says "invoicing".
- Choosing none is not a degraded mode: no rows written, no requests made, and byte-for-byte the keyword search that was always there.
- Vectors carry their model and width, and a mismatch is skipped rather than scored — comparing two embedding spaces produces a confident wrong answer.
- Indexing happens in the background as records are written, with a rebuild button for everything that already existed.
0.9.4
An instance can be somebody else's.
- Name, tagline, logo, favicon and launcher icons derived from the logo.
- The Middle-earth wording is editable data. Leaving a box alone does not freeze it, so a later release can still improve the default.
- Custom themes as a set of colours rather than a stylesheet, inheriting whichever built-in they start from.
- Global CSS overrides, served as
/branding.css.
0.9.3
Subagents. A reply can hand a self-contained piece of work to a helper that runs on its own and reports back — several at once, so research fans out instead of queueing.
- A helper cannot ask questions, cannot send helpers of its own, writes nothing unless the call asked and the chat's mode allowed it, and on a machine runs only a fixed list of read-only commands — in every mode, including Auto.
- Fixed, and it was live in scheduled runs too: an unattended chat that hit an approval built a card nobody could see and sat on it for fifteen minutes.
0.9.2
Image generation defaults an administrator can actually set — steps, cfg, size, sampler, scheduler, denoise, negative prompt, checkpoint, batch. There were none: one hard-coded set from the SD1.5 era, and prose in a box as the only way to change it.
- The samplers and schedulers ComfyUI had been reporting all along are now the pickers; nothing had ever read them.
- The tool's own schema restates the instance's defaults, instead of telling the model "Default 512" beside an instance that draws at 1024.
0.9.1
Everything that arrives is announced, not only chat replies. A scheduled run that filed a report used to light a dot in a corner and say nothing.
- A count in the tab title while you are looking elsewhere.
- Web push, so a schedule firing at seven in the morning reaches a browser
that is shut. Opt-in per device. It is the one thing here that contacts an
outside service, and
services/push.pysays so plainly.
0.9.0
A model can schedule things. There was no tool for it — asked to "remind me every Monday", a model wrote a note and reported that it had scheduled something, and every screen agreed with it.
schedule_create,schedule_list,schedule_update,schedule_cancel, over the same rule normaliser the manual form uses.- The reply says the resulting timing back in words, which is the only moment anybody can check that Monday was understood as Monday.
0.8.3
An SSH connection may not point at this machine unless an administrator says
so. A profile aimed at 127.0.0.1 walked straight past "nothing runs on the
LLeMbas host" — through a real login, onto the machine holding the database and
the encryption key. Three positions: off, one named port, or anywhere.
0.8.2
- Fixed: opening the canvas before a chat existed swapped the whole site into
the panel.
hx-get=""is not "fetch nothing" — htmx looks for the attribute, not the value, so the empty one was a real request for the current document. - Fixed: the Canvas and Terminal buttons appeared where they could not work.
- The bottom edge of the shell is no longer drawn, so the sidebar footer and the composer stop meeting a line at two different heights.
- Admin pages scroll in one container;
/admin/promptsno longer drops you at the bottom of a shorter panel.
