#+TITLE: Changelog
#+STARTUP: content
* v0.1.0 - The Autonomous Foundation (2026-04-13)
* v0.1.0 - The Autonomous Foundation (2026-04-20)
This is the initial MVP release of the ~opencortex~. It establishes a secure, auditable Lisp kernel for a personal operating system.
** Features
- **Unified Envelope Architecture:** Actuator-agnostic protocol that decouples routing metadata from cognitive payloads, ensuring all clients (TUI, Emacs, CLI, Matrix) are treated as equal citizens.
- **Metabolic Pipeline:** Robust Perceive-Reason-Act loop with selective memory rollbacks and graceful shutdown handling.
- **Verification Lock:** Mandatory skill enforcement via environment configuration. System halts if security policies or bouncers fail to load.
- **Foveal-Peripheral Context:** High-resolution focus on active tasks with low-resolution skeletal awareness of the rest of the Memex.
- **The Bouncer:** Last-mile deterministic security gate with Deep Packet Inspection for secrets and network exfiltration.
- **Autonomous Scribe:** Background distillation worker that turns daily journal entries into evergreen Zettelkasten notes.
- **Unified Onboarding:** Single-command installation (~opencortex.sh~) with Docker-first deployment and OS detection.
- **CLI Gateway:** Local TCP socket server and interactive chat client for frictionless first contact.
- **Autonomous Scribe:** Background distillation worker that turns daily journal entries into evergreen Zettelkasten notes. Verified to distill atomic concepts autonomously.
- **Autonomous Gardener:** Heartbeat-driven worker that repairs broken links and identifies orphaned nodes in the Memex graph.
- **Unified Onboarding:** Single-command installation (~opencortex.sh~) with Docker support, OS detection, and automated dependency resolution.
- **Channel-Aware TUI:** Interactive Croatoan-based terminal client with clean, human-readable formatting for tool results and system logs.
- **CLI Gateway:** Local TCP socket server for pipe-friendly interaction and frictionless first contact.
** Licensing & Community
- **AGPLv3 License:** OpenCortex is now officially licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0, ensuring the system remains free and open for self-hosters.
- **Contributor License Agreement:** Implemented a broad CLA (~CLA.org~) to allow the core maintainer to enforce the AGPLv3 while retaining flexible commercial rights.
- **AGPLv3 License:** OpenCortex is now officially licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0.
- **Contributor License Agreement:** Implemented a broad CLA (~CLA.org~) for long-term project sustainability.
** Architectural Shift
- Transitioned to **Literate Granularity**: Every function and invariant is now documented in its own Org block.
- **Configuration Externalization:** All timing, thresholds, and identities are now driven by environment variables.
- Transitioned to **Literate Granularity**: Every function and invariant is now formally documented in its own Org block.
- **Provider Agnosticism:** Implemented a dynamic LLM cascade (OpenRouter, Ollama, etc.) removing all hardcoded backend dependencies.
- **Thin Harness Philosophy:** Decoupled the kernel from specific editors or third-party gateways.
