v1.0.0.12

First tagged release since v1.0.0.1 — this bundles everything from 1.0.0.2 through 1.0.0.12 (77 commits). Highlights: on-demand Chrome, safer message/connection delivery, an outreach stats tool, and system health checks across the skills.

Highlights

• On-demand Chrome — the browser now boots on demand when a LinkedIn tool needs it and persists its session on disk, so no always-on service is required. It resolves Playwright's bundled Chromium (Chrome for Testing) first for reliable CDP multi-context support.
• Safer message delivery — send_message verifies the recipient by header name and resolved profile URL before sending (aborting on a mismatch), and falls back to composing a brand-new message for connections with no existing thread.
• Outreach stats — new get_outreach_stats MCP tool and /stats skill report connections sent/accepted, messages sent, and replies over a time window.
• System health checks — cron + browser health probes surface at skill start across the user-invokable skills, alongside the version/upgrade check.
• Upgrade tooling — bin/outreach-upgrade, bin/browser-service, and bin/cron-service for in-place upgrades and service management.

[1.0.0.12] - 2026-07-07

Changed

• make status no longer prints the Chrome CDP "auto-start not registered" hint — Chrome boots on demand now. The auto-start line still shows when a launchd/systemd service is registered.

[1.0.0.11] - 2026-07-07

Added

• reply-to-post, stats, and sync-planner-persona-from-linkedin skills now run the inline bin/outreach-update-check system check (service health + version) at skill start, matching setup-outreach and send-connection-request.

[1.0.0.10] - 2026-07-07

Changed

• Chrome boots on demand: LinkedIn tool calls ping the CDP endpoint before attaching and launch it via bin/browser-service start if it's down. Session cookies persist in the Chrome profile, so launchd/systemd no longer need to keep Chrome alive.
• cron.system_status no longer warns when Chrome's CDP endpoint is unreachable — that's now the steady state — and drops the stale "reinstall the always-on service" restart hint.

[1.0.0.9] - 2026-07-05

Fixed

• send_message no longer fails to message a connection with no existing thread — falls back to the "Compose a new message" typeahead, matching the recipient by name.
• Header/profile-URL verification now handles the new-conversation draft state (.../messaging/thread/new/) correctly via the conversation's profile card.
• Added testing/tools/send_message.py, a manual live tool for sending a real DM.

[1.0.0.8] - 2026-07-05

Fixed

• send_message's thread-search fallback now prefers a result matching profile hints (name/header) over blindly taking the first visible row.
• After opening a thread, the header name and thread profile link are checked against the target — either mismatch aborts the send instead of silently messaging the wrong person.
• Added testing/tools/check_thread_match.py and expanded test_send_message_thread_match.py.

[1.0.0.7] - 2026-07-05

Fixed

• LinkedInBrowser._attach reconnects when the managed Chrome has zero open tabs — wraps the first connect_over_cdp and falls back to opening a blank tab via the CDP HTTP endpoint before retrying.
• bin/browser-service prefers Playwright's bundled Chromium over system Chrome/Chromium.
• install.sh no longer overwrites an already-configured outreach/config/persona.json on reinstall.
• bin/outreach-upgrade lets resolve_chrome pick Playwright's Chromium first.

Upgrade note

• After upgrading, run bin/browser-service install to relaunch under Playwright's Chromium. This reuses the same profile dir but drops the existing LinkedIn session — you'll need to log in again (or run /setup-outreach).

[1.0.0.6] - 2026-07-04

Added

• cron.system_status.check_services() — probes cron + browser health.
• bin/outreach-update-check now probes cron/browser health and prints SERVICE_DOWN lines; skills surface these at start (non-blocking, no email).

Changed

• MCP server's startup thread _run_upgrade_check → _run_system_check; runs version + service health checks together.

[1.0.0.5] - 2026-07-04

Fixed

• bin/outreach-upgrade no longer crashes on macOS's stock bash 3.2 (local_allow[@]: unbound variable).

[1.0.0.4] - 2026-07-04

Added

• get_outreach_stats MCP tool — reports outreach activity counts over a time window.
• /stats skill for querying outreach stats from Claude.

[1.0.0.3] - 2026-06-26

Fixed

• Auth check navigates to the LinkedIn feed before inspecting the URL (replaces the unreliable li_at cookie heuristic).
• Clearer auth/connection error messages in browser.py.
• Profile action-row selector updated from legacy artdeco-dropdown to SDUI aria-label='More'.
• Connection sync sweep uses is_connection_accepted instead of is_first_degree_connection.

[1.0.0.2] - 2026-06-25

Added

• bin/cron-service, bin/browser-service (with json-status), and bin/outreach-upgrade.
• cron/status_report.py and cron/system_status.py; MCP get_cron_status tool.
• Connection-request send verification (_verify_connection_request_sent) with tests.

Changed

• Removed the worker queue — job dispatch is handled directly by the cron scheduler.
• conversation_planner.json → .example to avoid committing live operator config.
• install.sh overhauled to register/start the new systemd service units.

Fixed

• Graceful cron stop before reinstall; restored port-conflict guard; locale-safe json-status; quoted systemd paths; various async/robustness fixes.

v1.0.0.1

Added

• Security policy (SECURITY.md) with vulnerability reporting instructions and scope

Changed

• pyproject.toml now includes full package metadata: description, readme, license, keywords, classifiers, and project URLs
