ZacharyZhang-NY	7bdf50a716	Bump version to 0.1.1 Release / build (aarch64-apple-darwin) (push) Waiting to run Details Release / build (x86_64-apple-darwin) (push) Waiting to run Details Release / build (aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu) (push) Waiting to run Details Release / build (x86_64-pc-windows-msvc) (push) Waiting to run Details Release / publish GitHub Release (push) Blocked by required conditions Details Release / build (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) (push) Failing after 7s Details Fix round on top of v0.1.0: installers persist PATH themselves, install.ps1 strict-mode crash fixed, /feedback opens GitHub issues, moon-phase waiting spinner, Changelog feature excised.	2026-07-18 12:33:48 -04:00
ZacharyZhang-NY	10d0c0816f	Excise the Changelog feature Kigi never publishes CDN changelogs, so the entire inherited feature was dead weight: the welcome-menu Changelog row, the hero-box info slot (bullets + clickable CTA), /release-notes with its /changelog alias, and the ChangelogManager CDN-fetch/disk-cache pipeline (Effect::FetchChangelog, TaskResult::ChangelogFetched, startup and post-login fetch kickoffs, AppView cache fields, mouse hover/click handling). Welcome menu is now [Import] / New worktree / Resume session / Quit; the hero box keeps title + version + subtitle and its layout math simplifies to 3 + menu rows (verified equivalent by the surviving boundary tests). Action::ShowReleaseNotes and the DocViewer modal stay — /docs uses them. builtin.rs keeps deleting stale CHANGELOG.{json,md} caches written by kigi ≤ 0.1.0. kigi-shell-base drops its reqwest 'blocking' feature (only the deleted module used it). -1206 lines net. Gates: fmt clean, workspace check/clippy --all-targets 0/0, kigi-tui lib 6609 / shell-base 56 / shell util:: 258 all passing, welcome pty e2e (3 tests incl. braille logo) passing.	2026-07-18 12:31:52 -04:00
ZacharyZhang-NY	6e26d15428	Installers persist PATH themselves instead of printing instructions install.sh: append the export line to the login shell's rc file (zsh: $ZDOTDIR/.zshrc; bash: ~/.bash_profile on macOS, ~/.bashrc on Linux; fish: fish_add_path in config.fish; otherwise ~/.profile). Idempotent — a second run detects the existing entry and skips. On an unwritable rc it fails loudly with the manual command. install.ps1: prepend the bin dir to the per-user PATH via [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(..., 'User') — registry-backed, picked up by every new terminal. Strict-mode-safe for a null user Path. Verified end-to-end on macOS with a fake HOME: install → rc appended → fresh zsh sources it → kigi resolves and runs. All shell branches, ZDOTDIR/XDG overrides, idempotency, and the write-failure path covered by a harness driving the real script tail; install.ps1 parse-checked and its path-construction logic exercised under pwsh strict mode.	2026-07-18 12:07:57 -04:00
ZacharyZhang-NY	82ebcc38b7	Turn status: moon-phase spinner for Waiting for response The active-turn spinner next to "Waiting for response…" now cycles the moon phases 🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘 — the official kimi-cli's lunation animation (rich's `moon` spinner) — matching the welcome-screen moon logo. New glyphs::moon_spinner_frames() with the same legacy-ConHost ASCII fallback as every other spinner set; emoji frames are 2 columns and the status row already measures the rendered frame, so layout adapts. The ambient "Starting session…" row and other spinners stay braille. Verified: kigi-tui lib 6621 + pager-render 963 tests green; real-binary PTY e2e waiting_for_model_label_shows_before_first_token passes with the new spinner rendering in a live vt.	2026-07-18 12:00:52 -04:00
ZacharyZhang-NY	0dc98a34a6	/feedback opens the Kigi GitHub issues page Feedback about an unofficial community build belongs on its own issue tracker, not Moonshot's feedback endpoint — and this mirrors the official kimi-cli, whose /feedback opens its repo's issues page (ISSUE_URL in ui/shell/slash.py). /feedback now returns Action::OpenUrl(https://github.com/ZacharyZhang-NY/Kigi-CLI/issues), the same battle-tested browser path /docs web uses. The now-dead TUI text-feedback pipeline is excised: PromptInputMode:: Feedback (~ prefix composer mode), Action::{EnterFeedbackMode, SendFeedback}, Effect::SendFeedback (the kigi/feedback ACP POST), TaskResult::{FeedbackComplete,FeedbackFailed}, and their dispatchers. The shell-side kigi/feedback ACP extension stays: it is protocol surface for editor embeddings, OAuth-gated, and shared with kigi/btw. Gates: workspace check/clippy --all-targets 0/0, fmt, kigi-tui lib 6621 passed / 0 failed.	2026-07-18 11:51:13 -04:00
ZacharyZhang-NY	0692198719	install.ps1: fix PropertyNotFoundStrict crash in the PATH check Under the script's own Set-StrictMode -Version Latest, .Count on the result of Where-Object throws when the filter matches nothing — which is precisely the fresh-install case (bin dir not on PATH yet), so every first-time Windows install ended with an error after an otherwise successful install. Use -contains on the split arrays instead; no member access on a possibly-null pipeline result. Repro + fix verified under pwsh 7.5.2 with StrictMode Latest: old expression reproduces the user's exact error, new one returns False/True correctly for missing/present PATH entries.	2026-07-18 11:37:08 -04:00
ZacharyZhang-NY	77fd457627	install.sh: print the permanent PATH command for the user's shell The post-install guidance previously showed a one-time `export PATH=…` that dies with the terminal. Detect $SHELL and print the persistent command instead: append to ~/.zshrc / ~/.bash_profile (macOS) / ~/.bashrc (Linux), fish_add_path for fish (already persistent via universal variables), ~/.profile as the POSIX fallback.	2026-07-18 11:35:39 -04:00
