Good evening. It's August 30th, and last night's activity tells one continuous story: a big reliability fix that nearly broke the release pipeline it was meant to protect.
It starts with PR 320, a broad hardening pass on capture recovery and session lifecycle. It fixes real problems: recordings now preserve video and pad silence if the microphone drops, and session commands are now fenced by exact ownership so a stale command can't mutate a replacement session. Good stuff for…
That guard, combined with the freeze, left zero working path to publish a normal beta. The Actions pipeline had no secrets, and the local path was now forbidden. That's the second theme: an emergency policy correction. PR 324 introduced a one-time, owner-acknowledged bridge to restore local publishing. Then PR 326,…
Underneath all this, three beta versions moved through the pipeline: 0.9.85 in PR 321, which was built but never published due to a long TLS interception delay; 0.9.86 in PR 323, which superseded it and folded in the drift-guard work from 322; and 0.9.87 in PR 327, a byte-identical freeze candidate marking the start…
