[0.0.217] - 2026-02-26

Final Toga chat layout and transcript UX hardening for release.

Changed

• Sidebar layout now uses a fixed-width, height-responsive frame that stays top-aligned with the status area and bottom-aligned with the transcript frame boundary across window resize events.
• Main pane layout now allocates extra width/height proportionally to non-sidebar content (status/transcript/compose region) while preserving a stable sidebar width.
• Transcript rendering now auto-scrolls to newest content with throttled/coalesced scheduling to remain responsive during high-frequency streaming updates.

Validation

• uv run --project examples/toga_local_chat_app --directory examples/toga_local_chat_app ruff check src/silicon_refinery_chat/app.py
• Startup smoke: uv run silicon-refinery chat --python (process stayed alive for 10s, then cleanly terminated)
• Async autoscroll stress probe: 120 rapid transcript updates coalesced into 6 scroll calls

[0.0.208] - 2026-02-26

Release and distribution hardening across GitHub, PyPI, and Homebrew.

Added

• Automated standalone chat-repo publisher workflow and script:
  • .github/workflows/publish-chat-repo.yml
  • scripts/publish_chat_repo.sh
• Standalone silicon-refinery-chat sync template and documentation under standalone/silicon-refinery-chat/.

Changed

• Standardized naming across parent and child app surfaces:
  • repo/package naming: silicon-refinery / silicon-refinery-chat
  • app naming: SiliconRefinery / SiliconRefineryChat
• Toga chat app package path renamed to silicon_refinery_chat.
• Briefcase project metadata aligned with SiliconRefineryChat.
• .gitignore hardened to prevent local data leakage from SQLite/chat-history artifacts (*.sqlite*, *.db*) and local publish workspaces.

Validation

• uv run ruff check ... on touched Python files
• uv run ruff format --check ... on touched Python files
• uv run pytest tests/ -q (482 passed)
• Standalone publisher idempotency verified against adpena/silicon-refinery-chat

[0.0.207] - 2026-02-26

Release hardening focused on desktop-chat stability, no-gil fallback safety, and docs/packaging ergonomics.

Added

• CLI chat --standard-gil flag to force stable standard-GIL runtime for GUI demos.
• Explicit runtime selection + fallback probing in silicon_refinery.cli for free-threaded vs standard-GIL execution.

Changed

• silicon-refinery chat now prefers free-threaded CPython (3.14t then 3.13t) and retries with an explicit standard-GIL interpreter (3.14 then 3.13) if no-gil launch fails.
• Toga desktop app UI polish:
  • responsive wrapped sidebar title
  • bottom-pinned action controls
  • unified transcript/compose typography and text insets
  • wrapped status messaging on narrow widths
  • status bar width alignment with transcript/compose columns on compact windows
• Disabled no-gil-unsafe Cocoa Enter-key delegate path in free-threaded mode to avoid Rubicon/ObjC callback segfaults.

Validation

• uv run ruff check .
• uv run ruff format --check .
• uv run ty check silicon_refinery/
• uv run pytest (482 passed)
• uv run silicon-refinery smoke (passed)

[0.0.206] - 2026-02-26

Release-candidate hardening pass for launch readiness.

Added

• CLI example command to list and run standalone scripts under examples/
• CLI smoke command to run full examples smoke suite with SDK preflight and per-script timeouts
• CLI notebook command to launch examples/examples_notebook.py via marimo

Changed

• audit_directory(...) now uses a bounded worker pool (max_concurrency) for better throughput under uneven per-file runtimes while preserving deterministic output ordering
• examples/streaming_example.py now prints token deltas correctly when SDK streaming returns cumulative text chunks
• README and examples docs synchronized with current CLI/API surface and examples workflow

Validation

• Real Apple SDK smoke run completed across all top-level example scripts plus notebook startup
• Full quality gates: ruff check, ruff format --check, ty check, and pytest suite all green

[0.0.205] - 2026-02-26

Initial public release. Consolidates all prior development into a clean baseline.

Core Framework

• @local_extract decorator — transforms functions into on-device structured extractors
• stream_extract async generator — concurrent streaming extraction with 4 history modes (clear, keep, hybrid, compact)
• Source >> Extract >> Sink pipeline operators — composable async ETL pipelines
• @enhanced_debug decorator — AI-powered crash analysis via Neural Engine
• Polars .local_llm.extract() namespace extension
• DSPy AppleFMLM provider

Phase 4 Feature Expansion

• silicon_refinery.cache — sqlite3 content-addressable extraction cache + cached decorator helpers
• silicon_refinery.protocols — typing.Protocol backend interfaces with swappable backend registry, wired through core extraction runtime
• silicon_refinery.adapters — file/stdin/CSV/JSONL/iterable/trio adapters + chunking adapter
• silicon_refinery._context — contextvars-based session scoping helpers
• silicon_refinery._threading — free-threading detection and synchronization primitives
• silicon_refinery.scanner — mmap sliding-window scanner for large files
• silicon_refinery.watcher — hot-folder watcher daemon with extraction convenience API
• silicon_refinery._jit — runtime diagnostics and performance counters
• silicon_refinery.arrow_bridge — Arrow IPC file/buffer bridge + Polars conversion helpers
• silicon_refinery.functional — functional pipeline composition API
• silicon_refinery.auditor — on-device code auditor utilities

Phase 4 Hardening Pass

• _context.session_scope(...) now uses the active backend registry (create_model/create_session) for full pluggable-backend parity
• line_split_scanner(...) now streams incrementally in batches instead of pre-buffering entire files
• MMapScanner now guards UTF-8 boundary fixups to UTF-8 mode only and closes file descriptors safely if mmap initialization fails
• cached_stream_extract(...) now supports both sync and async sources
• safe_model_cache() initialization is now race-safe under concurrent access
• functional pipeline steps now support async callable objects correctly and validate terminal-step ordering
• audit_directory(...) now continues on per-file failures and parser handling is hardened for malformed model payloads
• watcher.start(...) now awaits generic awaitables; process_folder(...) handles modified events with mtime dedupe
• examples/transcript_processing.py now runs against a bundled sample transcript dataset by default (datasets/transcript_sample.json)

Toolchain

• silicon-refinery CLI with setup, doctor, lint, format, typecheck, test, and check commands (Click-based)
• scripts/setup.sh — one-command development environment setup
• scripts/doctor.sh — system prerequisites verification (9 checks)
• uv for package management with [tool.uv.sources] git dependency for Apple FM SDK
• ruff linting and formatting with comprehensive rule set (zero violations)
• ty type checker (zero diagnostics)

Testing

• 400+ mock-based tests (zero Apple Silicon required to run)
• Full coverage of core + Phase 4 modules via pytest + pytest-asyncio

Documentation

• Comprehensive README with API reference, tutorials, benchmarks, and architecture
• 9 use case examples with sample datasets
• GEMINI.md for AI-assisted development context
