- Kernel v1.0.0 · TUI/Portal v1.0.0 2026-08-10
LingTai 1.0.0: daemon supervision, dependable channels, a hardened shell, and Agent Plugins
This coordinated 1.0 milestone covers 225 commits and 134 merged pull requests (Kernel v0.19.5 → v1.0.0: 169 commits, 95 merged + 119 closed PRs, 65 issues closed; TUI/Portal v0.12.0 → v1.0.0: 56 commits, 39 merged + 18 closed PRs, 37 issues closed), with +18,725/−5,421 lines changed across 480 files from 16 human contributors. The kernel hardens daemon supervision and terminal notifications, makes Telegram, IMAP, mail, Feishu, WeChat, and WhatsApp more dependable, and reworks the shell contract for Windows, macOS, and POSIX; the TUI/Portal adds launch reliability, preset expansion, a GitHub-only kernel update check (fixing the PyPI downgrade), and doctor D1–D5 startup checks. Agent Plugins become a first-class capability, and the LLM layer gains seven-tier thinking and OpenAI Responses reasoning semantics.

LingTai 0.19.0 / 0.12.0: one tool protocol, visible long-running work, and one canonical lifecycle
This coordinated release makes LingTai easier to operate as a long-lived system: model-facing tools converge on LingTai Tool Protocol v2, Task Card gives long-running work a complete and visible lifecycle, install/update/remove scripts gain one canonical source of truth, and channel, notification, mail, and TUI reliability work makes failures more bounded and observable. The release window contains 85 commits and 72 merged PRs from four human contributors.

LingTai 0.18.1 / 0.11.6: fixes for first-run Codex, vision routing, and doctor safety
This coordinated patch release fixes three first-run and reliability issues: generic vision requests now follow the active Codex/Codex-pool route instead of guessing from provider spelling, a genuinely empty production-shaped account-pool snapshot now correctly takes the intended legacy fallback instead of being misclassified as non-empty, and `lingtai-tui doctor --help`/`-h` is now read-only. It also clarifies Codex OAuth preset behavior and fresh zsh installer PATH guidance, without changing existing installation destinations or non-OAuth preset behavior.

LingTai 0.18.0 / 0.11.5: a more resilient runtime and a verified Windows install path
This coordinated release focuses on runtime resilience and a verifiable Windows distribution path: native Windows kernel adapters and process lifecycle support, native multi-account Codex quota/epoch handling, Outlook OAuth2 IMAP, lossless Telegram inbound updates with task-card self-healing, and a PowerShell-validated Windows AMD64 install path that sits alongside the existing source and Homebrew builds.

LingTai TUI/Portal v0.10.7: an admin network switcher, faster mail history, and four honest platform archives
Published from the independently locked TUI/Portal candidate 5fb554b69f966b39cb9eca32a70c84d628714d18 (tree 05c068dbc5e50832d2d5d425099c104290acd2f4), this TUI-only release makes /projects a live admin network switcher (#620, #639), makes large mail history fast and consistent (#631, #632, #637, #638, #640), and keeps projects working across both runtime import layouts (#617). It also corrects daemon cache accounting (#636), refreshes documentation (#618, #628, #629, #630, #633, #616, #642), and publishes four platform archives. The darwin-amd64 archive was manually recovered after the macos-13 Intel runner failed; its full checksum is recorded below.

LingTai release day: tool knowledge ownership, one-shot installer, and leaner prompt budgets
This paired release reorganizes how the kernel owns tool knowledge — every built-in tool now lives in its own package directory with a CONTRACT.md, glossary files in EN/ZH/Wen, and a centralized glossary validator — while single-sourcing repeated tool guidance in the system prompt so #842 saves roughly 2,975 tokens per call (a different measurement scope; not a universal net). The TUI ships a one-shot GitHub-release installer with hardened uv/venv/portal/Go bootstrapping, a custom OpenAI wire selector, codex-pool model classification, mailbox search, session tool-call stats, loopback-only portal binding, and credential-labeling for Codex OAuth. The kernel adds a codex-pool exact-model auth lane, backend flag-discovery submanuals for 9 backends, IMAP attachment filename sanitization, extended credential redaction, AED manifest recognition, a skill/glossary i18n migration that grows ZH prompt descriptions by +5,224 chars (+221.17%) and Wen by +5,106 chars (+212.66%) while EN adds 0 new chars from glossary-only files (#844), and a final packaging repair (#847) that makes the native lingtai-search-sidecar platform wheels platlib-compliant.

Reliability patch: safer migrations, cleaner summaries, and steadier releases
This paired patch release closes the loop on the July reliability batch: schema-critical migrations now fail loudly instead of advancing half-applied state, `lingtai clean` protects live agents, global config writes are atomic, and the kernel gains cleaner summary/manual/notification contracts for long-running agents.

Summarize rebuilds, portal reliability, and a cleaner update path
This paired release makes LingTai's context-rebuild behavior explicit, ships a safer TUI/Portal update and replay path, and closes another round of runtime reliability work across logging, addons, MCP workbench docs, and security hygiene.

LingTai release day: cache-miss budgets, soul-flow opt-in, and leaner runtime telemetry
A paired release that puts the runtime’s cache economy and context-pressure signals under an explicit budget. The kernel adds a `cache_miss_budget` — a per-session, per-molt soft cap that defaults to a million cache-miss tokens; when it is reached the runtime restamps a `molt now` cue under durable context metadata alongside the running cache-miss count. Soul flow becomes an explicit env opt-in via `LINGTAI_SOUL_FLOW_ENABLED`, returning a stable disabled result unless enabled. Token and meta surfaces get leaner and more inspectable — flattened token diagnostics, sparse agent and notification meta, large-result ranking, and a-priori `summary=true` — while the TUI shows current-session cache-miss tokens inline, teaches the soul-flow opt-in in setup and kanban, exposes model-visible summary previews, and adds clipboard image paste. The window also broadens daemon/runtime backends (Kimi Code, claude-p wait guard, explicit daemon email tool, MCP completion, HTTP identity headers, Codex encrypted-reasoning replay self-heal).

LingTai release day: an honest init contract and steadier reconstruction signals
A small paired patch that makes two runtime contracts honest. Generated, template, and example init.json no longer seed legacy `prompt` or empty `lingtai` fields — long-lived character state is owned by `system/lingtai.md` / psyche after creation, and the kernel treats a missing seed as a valid empty seed. The kernel also makes context-pressure signals more truthful: a delayed-summarization reconstruction now reports one-shot evidence while sustained high-context pressure is surfaced separately as a molt warning. The window rounds out with system-prompt resources refactored into Markdown catalogs, a WeChat MCP config-path fix and stronger inbound-media validation, grep and IMAP ergonomics, runtime-identity stamps on event logs, and the usual release hygiene.

LingTai kernel v0.15.2: roomier result reads and leaner runtime guidance
A compact kernel patch after v0.15.1: Codex summarize/cache behavior now waits for the real reconstruction boundary before resetting websocket continuation, summarize/molt guidance is clearer about local compaction versus provider context, `_meta` exposes current-session token efficiency while shedding duplicated notification prose, and `read` now defaults to a 100k-character page budget while retaining the 200k hard cap for short-lived long-result inspection.

LingTai release day: self-updating TUI, Claude Code provider, and steadier runtime state
A paired patch release that finishes the self-update story the previous window started for Homebrew: the source / user-local TUI can now update itself — manually and on startup — for installs that are not Homebrew-managed. The kernel adds a `claude-code` LLM provider, an MCP manual sidecar contract with bundled manuals for curated MCPs, shared filesystem/JSON/JSONL helpers and a session-recovery refactor that de-risk kernel state writes, and honest spill/refresh failure visibility — plus cockpit, doctor, and mail polish.

LingTai release day: a cockpit that shows where the tokens go
A paired kernel and TUI/Portal release built around one idea: make the cockpit honest about where a session spends its tokens. The TUI grows home and session token telemetry — a context-percentage bar and per-round usage — followed by a focused copy and layout pass, bilingual status hints, less noisy replay, richer session/kanban observability, and faster SQLite-indexed session loading. The kernel makes bash results report inner failures, routes refresh-watcher events through the secret redactor, indexes the token ledger in SQLite with an explicit reporting scope, writes a per-run daemon artifact manifest, nudges agents when on-disk source drifts from the running runtime, and tunes Codex summarize guidance after framing it as an investment ratio.

LingTai release day: multi-account Codex, trend reports, and a calmer cockpit
A paired kernel and TUI/Portal release centered on running several Codex identities side by side and seeing how a fleet actually spends its calls: per-agent and per-preset Codex OAuth token files, a multi-OAuth setup UI, swiss-knife tool-call and API-call trend reports, a scrollable `/doctor`, bilingual loading strings, a lower default context cap, cache-miss detail in the kanban call view, and the daemon and bash fixes that keep long-running work honest.

LingTai kernel v0.14.1: Codex Responses state, cache discipline, and honest identity
A Codex-focused runtime release: persistent Responses WebSocket continuation, safer tool-output baselines, explicit fresh-epoch reset, concise summarize/cache guidance, honest LingTai request identity, and refreshed kernel ANATOMY citations.

LingTai release day: honest backends, measured latency, and a faster cockpit
A paired kernel and TUI/Portal release window centered on truth and measurement: the kernel sends an honest metadata envelope and the operator's own ChatGPT account header to Codex, records end-to-end LLM latency, surfaces long tool results in agent meta, and recovers from wedged turns; the TUI starts faster, renders fuller notification snapshots, and streams the token ledger.

LingTai release day: context hygiene, notification history, and honest backends
A paired kernel and TUI/Portal release that makes long-running agents quieter, more inspectable, and easier to recover: progressive disclosure for large tool results, a dedicated notification tool, mandatory session journals before deliberate molts, persisted notification-block history, Codex header fixes, and operator views with timezone and daemon token context.

LingTai kernel v0.12.4
A tightly scoped kernel release after v0.12.3 focused entirely on Codex cache identity. Root agents now derive a stable 8-character sha256-prefix hash from the resolved agent/init.json path and present it byte-identically as the Codex session-id, thread-id, and prompt_cache_key, so repeated turns from the same agent look like one continuous conversation to the provider. LingTai-backend daemon runs stop reusing one parent/global identity: each run gets its own daemon-scoped LLMService and a Codex anchor derived from its resolved per-run daemon.json path, and preset daemons keep a dedicated service whose Codex presets also receive daemon anchors. The net effect is a practical improvement in Codex prompt-cache hit opportunity without crossing isolation boundaries between independent runs.

LingTai kernel v0.12.3
A focused kernel release after v0.12.2: daemon tasks can now carry explicit one-run MCP registrations, /daemon list gains historical run records with search/filter metadata and lazy data-version migration, and the agent procedures now teach a pad-first daemon workflow that protects the parent context while sending noisy work to disposable workers.

LingTai TUI/Portal v0.9.1 + Kernel v0.12.2
A focused patch after the v0.9.0 / v0.12.0 release train: coding CLIs move out of Swiss Knife into first-class bash-manual harnesses; daemon execution gains MiMo Code, Qwen Code, and Oh-My-Pi backends; the Zhipu picker exposes GLM-5.2; and new agents default to a 300k context window. The release keeps the previous release-log boundary clear: ToolCallGuard, structured tool-error recovery, Ctrl+O cockpit work, /setup keep-current behavior, and Telegram reconnect recovery remain same-window context already covered by 20260613-1, not newly claimed post-tag work here.

LingTai TUI/Portal v0.9.0 + Kernel v0.12.0
This release log is written from the previous published release log to the current v0.9.0 / v0.12.0 release, not merely from the immediately previous patch tag. The audited window spans LingTai TUI/Portal, lingtai-kernel, and the Telegram addon work that affected the same operating surface: 129 commits, 370 changed files, +31,717 / -2,047 lines, 109 PRs updated in the window (81 merged, 20 closed unmerged), and 48 issues (41 closed). The main theme is operational quality under real load: the TUI becomes a layered cockpit for long agent runs; setup, presets, manifests, and first-run paths become harder to misread; the kernel turns tool execution into a governed and observable surface; daemon/idle-care practices become explicit operations; knowledge, skills, tutorials, and research workflows become more teachable; MCP/chat/mail integrations become more reliable; and release hygiene records the validation, packaging, Homebrew, PyPI, contributors, and lessons for the next release.

LingTai TUI/Portal v0.8.15 + Kernel v0.11.3
This release pairs TUI/Portal v0.8.15 with Kernel v0.11.3 and centers on operating the runtime: more visibility and control from the TUI (a skill-backed, multilingual `/help` command, `/notification` for read-only notification inspection, a daemon browser, daemon counts in kanban, tool-call display controls, adaptive mail input, and `/clear` routed through kernel context clear), and a safer agent runtime under real workloads (the nested secondary tool-call channel is removed and residual stale `secondary` args are ignored/logged, notification sync stops leaking diary-looking synthesized text into visible conversation history, top-level tool calls gain lifecycle tracing plus API-call IDs that group tool batches, with enriched error results, plus a strict relay-compatible avatar schema, repeated-tool-error recovery, OpenAI Responses compact-threshold handling, a stale-notification version guard, refresh recovery from stale processes, MCP stale-stdio restart, and daemon limit / dead-parent cleanup). Knowledge and skill surfaces become more teachable — molt history knowledge entries, a strengthened pre-molt checklist, textbook distillation, a read-only preset-health subskill, optional skill repository remotes, a LICC chat tutorial, and Graphify / cyclic-manifold docs — and research and setup paths get more practical with an authorized-publisher PDF tier, in-house publisher extraction, a Zotero institutional handoff, an academic evidence gate, an install.sh writable-bin fallback, an AED max-attempts setting, and a Codex service-tier preset. Candidate window: 189 files changed, +15,541 / -3,428 lines across 44 first-parent merged PRs (25 TUI/Portal + 19 kernel), plus small direct/doc commits and star-count chores. Final release validation is still to be completed before tag, PyPI, and Homebrew publication.

LingTai TUI/Portal v0.8.14 + Kernel v0.11.2
This paired release cleans up the skill and manual surfaces that agents read every day. TUI/Portal v0.8.14 continues the move from large top-level utility documents toward router + reference skill layouts, consolidates research/media helpers under Swiss Knife, and tightens setup/preset reliability. Kernel v0.11.2 mirrors that work inside intrinsic manuals, splits the consequential-molt scaffold into a psyche-manual asset, adds Cursor daemon/backend and validation fixes, and includes a late rescue fix for Codex/gpt-5.5 agents by scrubbing rejected Responses tool schemas and removing the duplicate email scheduler in favor of host cron. Release window: 49 commits, 31 merged PRs, 172 files changed, +10,990 / -5,476 lines.
Read release log → - v0.8.13 / v0.11.1 2026-05-31
LingTai TUI/Portal v0.8.13 + Kernel v0.11.1
A release window about making long-running LingTai work easier to resume and easier to inspect. Molt continuation now relies on explicit post-molt notifications rather than fragile next-action guessing, while local traces gain a rebuildable SQLite index and optional historical backfill. Soul flow also becomes more exploratory and voice-aware. The same window brings first-party WhatsApp MCP support, a kernel-owned intrinsic doctor, progressive-disclosure guidance for resident prompts, and product/license documentation polish.

LingTai TUI/Portal v0.8.12 + Kernel v0.11.0
A coordinated release window for the Go TUI/Portal and the Python/Rust kernel. The TUI reaches v0.8.12 with safer first-run recovery, safer Homebrew upgrades, clearer MCP controls, Rust sidecar diagnostics, and dev-runtime protection; the kernel reaches v0.11.0 to mark the Rust-backed rewrite line and ships on PyPI after full release validation.

LingTai Kernel v0.10.10
A kernel release focused on runtime reliability, daemon extensibility, and MCP/addon communication polish. It adds an OpenCode daemon backend, improves configurable/asynchronous CLI daemon behavior, fixes several long-session recovery and wake-up issues, and improves cross-platform file reads, intrinsic tool manuals, and external communication addons.
