Out loud.

v0.3.13 · 2026-05-15

Setup permission recovery

• Fixed the DMG first-open handoff so Aura copies itself to Applications and brings the installed app forward.
• Refreshed microphone, Accessibility, and Hot Mic permission state while setup is visible and whenever the app becomes active again.
• Returned the setup window to the front after microphone or Speech Recognition prompts complete.
• Added regressions for visible relaunch behavior and setup permission state transitions.

v0.3.12 · 2026-05-15

First-run setup and app identity

• Restored the splash-first DMG path so setup appears before the dashboard and before any blocked-permission recovery screen.
• Made fresh DMG launches ignore stale local onboarding markers, so reinstalling from the website still shows setup.
• Kept Speech Recognition scoped to explicit Hot Mic setup instead of prompting during normal startup.
• Updated packaged app identity so macOS permission panes use Codexini Aura with the app icon for app-owned permission prompts.

v0.3.11 · 2026-05-15

Voice hardening and release trust

• Kept Swift as the canonical desktop app while proving normal DMG payloads do not need the legacy Rust Orb.
• Fixed live voice startup, system-default audio routing, transcript recovery, and duplicate-turn suppression from the latest dogfood calls.
• Preserved intent-first task briefs and added recent task plus voice-turn context so Codex work reflects what the user meant.
• Strengthened release gates around Swift verification, audio-input entitlements, signed DMGs, GitHub release notes, and Homebrew tap updates.

v0.3.10 · 2026-05-14

Swift app becomes canonical

• Made the Swift desktop app the primary Aura experience across the installer, DMG, website, release notes, and Homebrew formula.
• Kept the Rust Orb only as a legacy rollback binary while Homebrew exposes the Swift app as aura-swift.
• Fixed General settings wiring so Debug, Auto-callback, callback mode, and Restore Defaults change the live Aura config correctly.
• Kept the release trust chain intact: signed manifest, notarized DMG, required Swift app payload, and Gatekeeper checks in release CI.

v0.3.7 · 2026-05-06

Fresh-install onboarding and release hardening

• Rebuilt the DMG path for fresh installs: onboarding starts as the full app experience, uses the selected project folder, exposes the microphone test, and keeps the floating bar and app controls tied to the same live Aura state.
• Hardened first-run wording so Aura introduces herself plainly and does not mention internal dispatch/coordinator terms unless the user asks for real coding work.
• Added real-trace regression coverage for the recent dogfood failures: microphone prompt recovery, no broad folder permission copy, no installer-time Codex import, no duplicated stale context replay, and visible worker-result flow.
• Tightened release packaging checks with audio-input entitlements, DMG trust verification, and fail-closed Homebrew tap updates so the website DMG and brew path cannot drift.

v0.3.6 · 2026-05-05

First-call wording and microphone recovery

• Removed internal “dispatch / worker / coordinator” wording from the first-call opener so new users hear a normal Aura introduction and only approve Codex changes when they ask for real work.
• Added a visible Audio settings microphone test with live input meter states, a recovery button for macOS Microphone settings, and regression tests for prompt/recovery copy.
• Kept DMG first-run Codex setup quiet: the packaged app runs the bundled Codex helper setup with --no-open-app before launching the call, so setup does not open/import Codex as a separate installation step.
• Made Codex voice startup trust the real app-server account check instead of failing only because codex login status is stale or slow.
• Cleaned the public website install copy to describe one project folder, mic test, and approved Codex work without promising broad Mac access or exposing implementation terms.

v0.3.5 · 2026-05-05

Installer first-run scope and mic test

• Fixed the DMG first-run path so double-clicking Aura.app from the mounted image copies it to Applications or ~/Applications before setup, avoiding the restricted mounted-image “box” behavior.
• Stopped installer-time Codex project imports: Codex helper setup now runs with --no-open-app, and first-run voice start no longer opens Codex automatically.
• Prevented privacy-prompt cascades by rejecting broad project roots such as Home, Documents, Downloads, Music, Movies, Pictures, and /; onboarding now requires one specific repo/project folder before starting Aura.
• Added a live microphone test to Audio settings and kept the onboarding mic meter as the explicit microphone-permission path before the first call.
• Reduced scary local wrapper permissions by removing Documents/Desktop usage strings from the Orb app plist.

v0.3.4 · 2026-05-05

Onboarding voice + Orb control polish

• Shortened the first-run Aura voice opener and added an explicit calm-pacing instruction so the first spoken block no longer turns into a long, rushed setup monologue.
• Added aura-eval, a workspace eval runner that records normalized JSONL results, summary JSON, benchmark metrics, baseline comparisons, and baseline blessing.
• Hardened live voice interruption handling: speech while Aura is answering now clears local playback, cancels the active response, suppresses stale audio/text/tool calls until response.done, and leaves normal idle user speech free to trigger the next answer.
• Added a proper macOS DMG release artifact: Aura.app wraps the staged release payload, presents a drag-to-Applications window with Orb-styled background art, runs the canonical install.sh --target codex --start-call first-run path, and requires signing/notary credentials in release CI.

v0.3.3 · 2026-05-04

Notarized DMG trust gate

• Fixed the public DMG trust path: release CI signs the compressed DMG, submits it to Apple notarization, staples the ticket, verifies the outer DMG and inner Aura.app, and then runs a public download trust verifier before the Homebrew tap update.
• Added scripts/verify_release_dmg_trust.sh so a release cannot quietly publish an unsigned or unstapled DMG again.

v0.3.0 · 2026-04-29

Homebrew + proprietary license

Changed

• Repo flipped public, billing unblocked, brew formula download URLs now resolve without auth.
• License changed from MIT to proprietary. Public visibility is for auditability + brew distribution only — no use, redistribution, derivative work, or training data ingestion is permitted without explicit written permission from [email protected].
• Versions bumped to 0.3.0 across Cargo.toml, the Claude plugin manifest, and the Codex plugin manifest — the 0.2.2 / 0.2.5 skew between Codex + Claude plugins is gone.
