v0.6.0-beta (2026-07-02) ​

The 0.6 open beta. The desktop app, the CLI, and the template shelves ship on one version line for the first time. Methodology line: loci-core 1.6-candidate.

Added ​

  • Desktop cockpit: the dashboard grows a tab strip. One Operations view (the native dashboard) plus one tab per instrument your palace generates for itself (self-contained HTML pages with an embedded data payload, discovered by convention). Instruments render through path-validated embedding; traversal and symlink escapes are rejected.
  • Tools gate-ledger: palaces that record tool verdicts in palace-map.json get a "Tool shelf · gate ledger" section on the dashboard. One card per external tool with its quarantine verdict (admitted, admitted-escorted, deferred, held-conditional, or rejected). The shelf lists; it never loads. No ledger, no change.
  • loci-cli/: a terminal-native CLI for reading the palace. Five commands (status, crystals, read, handover, init), all read-only. No network, no inference, no daemons. Install with cargo install --path loci-cli.
  • templates/personas/: a shelf of four filled persona examples: an orchestrator (the one you are meant to rename), a security and sysadmin dyad, and a design persona.
  • templates/skills/: three portable disciplines with stated triggers, procedures, and kill conditions: quarantine, session close, and insight consolidation.
  • templates/eval-framework.md: a two-phase growth instrument. A Foundation Scorecard (12 axes, 0 to 5, lock at ceiling), a Growth Scorecard (G1 to G7, 1 to 10, no ceiling), and a Frontier Section.
  • Memory lifecycle doctrine: the crystal and garden lifecycle named as one doctrine (keep what surprised you, let the rest decay on its tier's own clock, keep all of it inspectable). Ships as templates/memory-lifecycle.md plus the methodology update.
  • Palace audit, 6th dimension: "Tracker integrity" walks tracker.json for broken references, stale versions, and unreferenced drafts. Read-only. Total score moves to /30.
  • templates/.lociignore: scopes the audit scan so vendored trees do not swamp it.
  • Two operating rules in CLAUDE-master.md: confirm against disk before asserting state or absence, and quarantine foreign processes.
  • docs/RELEASING.md: how a change ships. Ordered release gates, version-anchor semantics, tagging rules, and a rollback table.

Changed ​

  • Palace detection accepts two layouts. Both the desktop app and the CLI now load the original rooms-inside-_palace/ shape and the rooms-at-root shape. Palaces ported from older organic layouts load directly.
  • The job table has one owner. When a palace ships instrument tabs, the native dashboard keeps the KPI header and the automation instrument owns the cron list. Palaces without instruments keep the native table as fallback.

v0.1.0-beta.1 (2026-06-09) ​

First public beta of the template kit and the CLI line.

Added ​

  • Plain-markdown palace setup via the templates/ kit. No build required.
  • FIRST-SESSION.md and AGENT-SETUP.md guided onboarding.
  • SETUP-GUIDE.md full walkthrough.
  • ARCHITECTURE.md system overview and design rationale.
  • PALACE-METHODOLOGY.md protocol reference (the check-for-updates anchor).
  • PALACE-UPDATE.md update protocol.
  • packages/core, the core Node.js package.
  • discoveries/ community findings folder.
  • CONTRIBUTING.md contribution guide.

Notes ​

  • At this point desktop (Tauri) releases were tagged separately under desktop/vX.Y.Z. The v0.6.0-beta release unified them onto one version line.
  • The markdown-only path was stable from day one; the CLI surface was still in active development.

Versioning ​

Two version lines, on purpose:

  • Product releases (templates, desktop app, CLI) follow a beta line: v0.1.0-beta.1, v0.6.0-beta. Since v0.6.0-beta all three run modes ship together on one version.
  • The methodology (loci-core) carries its own version anchor inside PALACE-METHODOLOGY.md, currently 1.6-candidate. The update protocol reads this anchor to build the delta between your palace and the published methodology.
