Changelog

All notable changes to Kward will be documented in this file.

[Unreleased]

Added optional startup resume for the last active session in each workspace through sessions.auto_resume: true, including immediate restored transcript/persona data for RPC clients.
Added tools.workspace_guardrails: false config support for allowing file tools to access paths outside the active workspace.
Added banner.enabled: false config support for hiding the interactive terminal banner.
Added colored CLI help/version commands, command-specific help, and stricter command precedence over one-shot prompts.
Added --working-directory PATH as a global option for running any CLI mode from another workspace.
Added kward init for installing the starter pack; --install-starter-pack remains as a compatibility alias.
Added kward doctor to check local config, workspace, auth hints, Pan credentials, and writable directories.
Added -- as a prompt delimiter so option-like text can be sent as a one-shot prompt.
Added kward auth status and kward auth logout for checking and clearing saved credentials without printing secrets.
Added /reload and RPC runtime reload support for reloading installed plugins without restarting Kward.
Added Session Tree support with a CLI /tree command plus RPC persisted entry IDs, labels, label timestamps, and branch navigation.
Added RPC ui/footer notifications for Kward plugin footers.
Added ! shell commands in the interactive CLI composer.
Added the active persona label to RPC runtime/state responses.

Expanded the interactive /settings command into categorized settings for model, accounts, memory, interface, tools, compaction, personalization, logging, and advanced config info.
Changed RPC session deletion to use the OS trash/recycle bin when available before falling back to permanent file deletion.
Changed automatic session naming to persist the first visible user turn, keeping slash prompt names unexpanded while still saving expanded prompt content.
Changed Pan mode to start with the kward pan command; --pan-mode remains as a compatibility alias.
Changed memory retrieval and listing to use a global core, workspace core, workspace soft hierarchy, and added /memory relax for downgrading global core memories to the current workspace.
Changed session tree rendering to match Pi's active-path-first branch display, markers, tool rows, and connector prefixes.
Changed session tree navigation so all persisted entry points are selectable without automatically running anything.

Fixed RPC session deletion so empty unnamed sessions are explicitly deleted instead of being consumed by unused-session cleanup first.
Fixed the TUI /tree selector to start on the current tree position, or the last item for a fresh tree.
Fixed the normal session list/resume picker to stay in recent modification-time order, delete empty unnamed sessions, return the full list by default, and avoid test-created session pollution.
Fixed RPC model selection to accept lowercase provider IDs from UI clients.
Fixed cloned sessions to keep the current session name after renaming.

Removed the obsolete /crew command reservation and unreleased RPC compatibility aliases.
