Bottega

Changelog

What actually shipped.

Product milestones, not internal iterations. Each date is when that capability first reached a coherent shape a person could use.

Scoped tools, Extensions, and Design Canvas source preview

  • Published the current production source as a normal child commit of the clean public history, while keeping tests, development automation, and internal evidence in Bottega-Dev.
  • Added exact-Project overrides for built-in tools and manual MCP servers. Each turn now freezes its effective tool plan, scoped revisions, runtime support, and sealed MCP configuration before side effects begin.
  • Unified Extensions under global | exact Project ownership across management, Skills, App requirements, sessions, retained data, and deletion recovery. Exact-empty legacy Extension registries, lifecycle ledgers, and projection ledgers migrate forward; any legacy state carrying live or ambiguous authority remains fail closed.
  • Added the bundled Bottega Design Canvas with self-contained HTML artboards, direction and history comparison, numbered visual review anchors, a sandboxed preview, and an Agent-side render check.
  • Advanced all four bundled first-party App gitlinks to publicly reachable commits. This is a source preview, not the still-gated formal v0.1.0 installer release.

Public source release

  • Published Bottega under the MIT License with a clean, public-only Git history.
  • Established a hard repository boundary: production desktop source and milestone documentation are public; tests, test data, the web application, internal evaluations, TODOs, development notes, weekly engineering logs, and repository automation remain in the development repository.
  • Organized public documentation under docs/, with second-level getting-started, features, and changelog sections while keeping the root README as the GitHub entry page.
  • Adopted Bottega as the product, package, window, build, ACP client, and exported-document identity.

2026-08-18 to 2026-08-23

Durable collaboration

  • Expanded workspace references from chats to files and Sections.
  • Added durable image handoff between Sections and promotion of Subagent results into reusable, idle Sections.
  • Unified local Skills management across Codex, Claude Code, Kimi Code, and OpenCode.
  • Added searchable, read-only history federation and supported adoption for local Agent sessions.

2026-08-08 to 2026-08-23

Memory with explicit consent

  • Added managed local OpenViking and EverOS providers.
  • Introduced Chat, Project-group, and personal sharing scopes with explicit consent and observable delivery state.
  • Added rebuild, source, model-download progress, and trustworthy version switching.

2026-08-04 to 2026-08-21

Apps, tools, and browser

  • Added a multi-tab in-app browser controlled through in-process CDP.
  • Grew the built-in tool platform to cover Sections, search, Base, files, Apps, and browser actions.

2026-07-28 to 2026-08-23

Base

  • Introduced structured Chat and Project data with Table, List, Kanban, Map, Chart, and Gallery views.
  • Added formulas, relations, attachments, row history, imports/exports, and capability-scoped App mutations.

2026-07-16 to 2026-08-09

Desktop and multi-agent foundation

  • Moved from a web prototype to an Electron desktop workspace.
  • Connected Codex, Claude Code, Kimi Code, and OpenCode through local CLIs and ACP while preserving CLI credential ownership.
  • Added streaming turns, approvals, Plan mode, message steering, Subagents, project workspaces, archive semantics, and OS-level file boundaries.
