Kaimon 2.2.0

Features

• Binary streaming transport — event-driven, wake-on-arrival stream draining
  and a zero-copy raw binary frame path for high-rate streaming consumers (live
  widgets/plots, KaimonSlate binary-emit), cutting stream latency and idle CPU.
• Startup KaimonGate upgrade prompt — on interactive launch, offers to update
  a stale registry-installed global KaimonGate so auto-connecting REPL sessions
  pick up the latest gate fixes. No-op for dev/current installs; dismissals are
  remembered per version; re-armed with kaimon --reset-global-prompt.

Fixes

• #67 — a raw-mode Tachikoma TUI run from a gate REPL no longer wedges the
  host REPL on exit (stream guard via Tachikoma 2.4's set_stream_guard!).

Requires

• Tachikoma 2.4, KaimonGate 1.1.

KaimonGate 1.1.0

Features

• Event-driven stream draining (wait_stream_messages!) that wakes on frame
  arrival instead of polling on a fixed cadence, and a zero-copy raw binary
  frame path (_publish_stream_raw) that skips the Serialization envelope for
  high-rate streaming consumers. Binary payloads are preserved end-to-end as bytes.

Fixes

• Register a stream guard (via Tachikoma's set_stream_guard!) so a raw-mode
  Tachikoma TUI run from a gate-hosted REPL no longer wedges the host REPL's
  stdin on exit (Kaimon #67). Adds public disable_wedge_guard! for a host that
  runs its own persistent full-screen TUI alongside the capture mux. The guard is
  a no-op unless a Tachikoma new enough to define the hook is loaded.

Kaimon v2.1.0

Features

• Managed (zero-Docker) Qdrant (#24): Kaimon lazily installs Qdrant_jll into a small Kaimon-owned environment and runs the binary itself — no Docker required. Includes TUI start/stop controls, autostart on launch, and create-collection/embedding robustness.

Fixes

• Extension runtimes are no longer treated as addressable REPL sessions: agents can no longer be auto-bound to (or eval in) an extension's runtime; explicit targeting points at start_session for a real REPL.
• Windows: resolve the npm claude shim via PATHEXT (#66), and stop leaking environment in spawn errors.
• Extensions receive Kaimon's active environment on JULIA_LOAD_PATH, and registry/app-installed extensions get a properly instantiated runtime env (#61, #65).

Compatibility

• Requires Tachikoma 2.3.7.

Kaimon 2.0.8

Fixes extension boot on a fresh registry/app install (pkg> app add Kaimon + app add <extension>), which previously crash-looped. Two independent load-path failures, both resolved:

• using Kaimon fails — the extension subprocess carried the manifest-less pkgdir(Kaimon) on its load path. Kaimon now puts the running instance's active (manifest-bearing) environment there instead. (#61, thanks @mthelm85)
• using <ExtensionModule> fails — the extension was launched with --project=<manifest-less, write-protected depot dir>, so its own deps couldn't resolve. Kaimon now maintains a writable, instantiated environment per extension (~/.julia/environments/kaimon-ext/<namespace>) and launches against it; dev checkouts with their own manifest are unchanged. (#65)

v2.0.7

Kaimon v2.0.7

Diff since v2.0.6

Changes

• Require Tachikoma 2.3.6, which fixes input starvation in render-bound TUI apps (keyboard/mouse were dropped while the app kept animating when a frame exceeded its budget).

Closed issues:

• False warning Julia not on path (#64)

v2.0.6

Fixes

• Windows extensions no longer wedge at startup. On Windows a local IPC gate is bound over TCP (no IPC transport); under a non-lax (API-key) security config it enforces its auth token, but the discovery watcher connected tokenless and was rejected with "Authentication required" — leaving extensions (e.g. KaimonSlate) stuck at :starting in a restart loop. The watcher now presents the same token, authenticating to its own local gate.
• Fixed extension loading by removing an unused using ReTest import that forced ReTest onto extension-subprocess LOAD_PATHs, where it failed to resolve.

Observability

• A health-check ping that receives an error reply (e.g. an auth rejection) is now logged, throttled to once per distinct message, instead of being silently treated as a healthy pong.

Dependencies

• Requires Tachikoma 2.3.5 — Windows console-size/resize handling and ReadConsoleInputW mouse + keyboard support, plus international-keyboard decoding on all platforms.

v2.0.5

Kaimon v2.0.5

Diff since v2.0.4

Security & Claude Code compat patch.

• Security: removed a localhost OAuth auto-mint that issued bearer tokens to anyone who could reach the port (auth bypass); Kaimon now accepts only configured API keys, and Origin validation rejects localhost-spoof hosts (e.g. localhost.evil.test).
• Compat: OAuth/OIDC probe paths return a clean 404 with a JSON error body, so modern Claude Code no longer crashes on discovery and keyless clients get a clear "Missing API key".
• Chore/CI: gitignore deploy artifacts; LinkCheck false-positive exclusion.

v2.0.4

Kaimon v2.0.4

Diff since v2.0.3

Fixes

• ex: a call that omitted the e parameter (e.g. the code was passed as code) silently ran an empty eval — success with no result and only a bare agent> in the shared REPL. It now returns a clear error (with a hint when code was used), and the tool description / instructions / docs state plainly that the parameter is e.
• TUI: control characters (\r, \n, backspace, …) in tool-call content no longer smear the Activity table / log pane (carriage-return corruption seen on slate tool calls). Requires the companion Tachikoma 2.3.4 set_string! control-char strip; [compat] bumped to Tachikoma = "2.3.4".
• Gate: the "advertised for discovery" diagnostic no longer prints to the console on interactive Julia startup — dropped to @debug for a user's own gate; spawned/extension gates keep it in their captured logs.

Changed

• Code search: search_code (by meaning) is now the documented default for discovery over grep_code; a grep_code call that finds nothing (a true negative) nudges toward search_code.

v2.0.3

• Auto-background threshold for long evals is now configurable (Config tab or KAIMON_GATE_PROMOTE_AFTER; 0 = never), and a promoted eval's finished result is now shown in the Activity tab instead of the placeholder (#59)
• Write the Antigravity MCP config where current builds read it — ~/.gemini/config/mcp.json (also keeping the legacy path) (#57)
• Extension log viewer no longer freezes the TUI (and MCP server) on large logs; extension logs are now size-capped
• Fix reattaching to a detached remote worker (a stale connection could block reconnect)
