Release notes
Current releasev0.7.3
Added a fullscreen in-app overlay fallback for hosts that block popups, improved host and iframe layout, and added bilingual user guides.

- Adjusted the host panel and workbench iframe to fill the available area.
- Added Chinese and English user guides for installation, onboarding, daily use, and advanced workflows, and clarified the workbench's local, individual-use scope.
- Verified 268 unit/API tests and 41 Chromium E2E tests (E2E used isolated port 8913); npm pack --dry-run, node --check public/app.js, and git diff --check passed.

v0.7.2Restored historical DSH conversations in project workspaces and updated Host Smoke support for Harness 0.2.0-rc.2.
- Restored discovery, preservation, ordering, and rendering of historical DSH conversations so old chats remain visible after rebinding or creating a fresh session.
- Updated built-in version metadata and desktop settings copy, and prevented long project names from being truncated in the desktop calendar agenda.
- Added qa Host Smoke support for DeepSeek Harness dsh-v0.2.0-rc.2 and documented installation and updates through the official macOS client.
- Stopped pinning the Harness CLI version in installation commands so they use the current npm version.

v0.7.1Improved workbench readability, accessibility, and Focus Canvas light-theme contrast without changing quality-fact or provider boundaries.
- Raised functional-copy sizing across navigation, statuses, actions, and detail metadata while preserving technical code and terminal sizing.
- Improved Focus Canvas light-theme contrast and added reusable high-contrast design tokens.
- Refined collaboration-sidebar and calendar-sidebar semantics, and aligned brand, page-heading, and version-label typography with the design-system font stack.

v0.6.3Bundled both qa and quality-control presets with the main dsh-qa bundle.
- Included the qa and quality-control presets in the main dsh-qa bundle so no separate preset-install command is required.
v0.6.2Corrected quality-control installation guidance for Electron and Web profiles.
- Replaced the rejected Electron desktop-profile command with guidance to install the local bundle through DSH's Plugins page.
- Made both preset installers reject Electron-only desktop profiles before invoking the CLI, pinned compatible Web examples to Harness 0.1.7-rc.1, and exported custom DSH_HOME in Web examples.
- Verified 218 unit/API tests, 39 Chromium E2E tests, bundle dry-runs, shell syntax checks, git diff --check, and npm pack --dry-run.
v0.6.1Fixed DSH desktop-client session follow and added persistent appearance controls.
- Resolved the official DSH desktop client's transport origin for session-follow WebSockets while preserving standalone Web UI compatibility.
- Added Light, Dark, and System Settings appearances, persisted locally, along with qa and optional quality-control preset visibility and profile-aware install-command copying.
- Verified 216 unit/API tests, 38 Chromium E2E tests, and git diff --check.
v0.6.0Added controlled Native QA Execution and an Action Desk for evidence-bound execution work.
- Added Native QA Execution with controlled Host execution profiles, preview and confirmation, start, cancel, retry, timeout, and evidence archiving.
- Added an Action Desk backed by the canonical Action Queue, preserving legacy dashboard reminders while adding bilingual states, stable ordering, and SSE refresh.
- Persisted Host Execution evidence boundaries and lifecycle transitions separately from local TestRun events, preventing evidence-free results from becoming quality conclusions.
- Fixed optional hostAdapters context access in the DSH v0.1.7-rc.1 host and hardened Action Desk revision, duplicate-start, retry, cancellation, and error paths.
- Verified 213 unit/API tests, 37 Chromium E2E tests, npm pack --dry-run, and local dsh-v0.1.7-rc.1 host compatibility acceptance.
v0.5.4Fixed quality-control bundle loading in Harness 0.1.7.
- Supplied the required non-empty section configuration for dsh-plan-mode so the quality-control bundle loads in Harness 0.1.7.
- Verified 162 unit/API tests, 32 Chromium E2E tests, git diff --check, quality-control Web dry-run installation, and npm pack --dry-run.
v0.5.3Polished the Quiet Studio workbench, organized test assets, and preserved the page selected during initialization.
- Polished the workbench as the Quiet Studio visual system, improving information hierarchy and light-surface readability.
- Consolidated test configuration, test guidance, and result entry points under test/, while organizing project documentation and workflow diagrams.
- Preserved the page selected by the user while the application initialization request is in flight.

- Added the installed-version indicator beside the brand and paginated newest-first release history with localized summaries and GitHub detail links.
- Improved settings-button contrast on light backgrounds and removed unused theme and workspace-width presets.
- Verified 160 unit/API tests and 25 Chromium E2E tests passed.
v0.5.1Migrated the QA profile to Harness 0.1.7 bundles and stabilized embedded Workbench lifecycle handling.
- Migrated the qa preset to the Harness 0.1.7 declarative profile-bundle model and made quality-control an independent profile bundle.
- Fixed same-origin Workbench popout cleanup and remounted-iframe frame-readiness timing; updated Host Smoke to dsh-v0.1.7-alpha.1.
- Verified 159 unit/API tests, 23 standalone Chromium E2E tests, and 6 real qa-bundle Host Smoke cases. The independent quality-control bundle is statically verified; its separate runtime Host Smoke is outside this release evidence.
v0.5.0Moved the QA Workbench onto Harness's native Panel contract.
- Mounted the workbench through official sidebar.panellist and root-scoped keyed main slots, removing host DOM selectors, MutationObserver, and custom Panel activation.
- Preserved iframe, popout, Panel-close, and postMessage return flows with idempotent cleanup and lifecycle regression coverage.
- Restored project titles after host refresh and closed popouts when their Panel closes or unloads.

- Added tamper detection, invalid-evidence quarantine, interrupted-finalization recovery, gate and open-defect reference protection, quotas, and path hardening.
- Added structured failure analysis, human-confirmed defect promotion, deterministic calculated regression sets, recalculation, and before/after test-run comparison.
- Bound test runs to source digests and Git commits, and completed evidence list, per-run evidence, download, and quality-workbench UI flows.
- Fixed stale or invalid evidence entering gates, restart recovery, referenced-evidence cleanup, MIME handling, traversal and symlink protection, unknown regression cases, and comparison validation.
