Changelog

All notable changes to Aefos AI are documented here.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project aims to follow Semantic Versioning. Dates are in YYYY-MM-DD.

Unreleased

No more crash on a click in the Chat right after it opens. A mouse event arriving while the WebView host was still initialising could raise an error inside the IDE; mouse input is now ignored until the host is ready (and never fatal).

Chat no longer shows a black panel on machines where it failed to render. GPU compositing is now off by default (it was the cause of the black screen on some GPUs/drivers/VMs — the Chat is text, so there's no visible cost), and if the WebView2 host still can't start, the Chat falls back to plain text with a clear "install WebView2" notice instead of a black panel.
Docked Chat/Terminal reliably comes back. If the pane disappears after a desktop/layout switch, clicking its menu entry now brings it forward again (it used to stay hidden until you switched profiles or restarted the IDE).
About dialog no longer clips its last line (Chat and Terminal) — it sizes to its content.
Version is consistent across Chat and Terminal (the splash/About showed mismatched versions before).

Chat/executor settings are now editable without an open project (on the Welcome page) — they are machine-global, so you can pick your AI CLI, path, model and log in before opening any project.
Smoother Chat first-open: a dark "Loading…" placeholder replaces the brief black flash while the WebView2 engine warms up; the panel background paints dark from the first frame.
More tools show the reviewable diff: inserting a method now routes through the same inline red/green diff (accept/reject, with an optional reason) as editing.
Installer only asks you to close RAD Studio when it's actually running (no more unconditional prompt).

Advanced: set AEFOS_WEBVIEW_ENABLE_GPU=1 to opt back into GPU compositing if your machine has a good GPU.

Reject with a reason. When you reject an agent's inline edit, a themed dialog (matching the IDE's dark/light theme) asks for an optional note — and that note is sent back to the agent, so it learns why the change was refused instead of just that it was.
Reveal on code insertion. Tools that write code (AddEventHandler, InsertMethod, insert-at-cursor) now flip the IDE to Code view and scroll to the freshly written method, so what the agent wrote is on-screen — not buried below the form's component declarations.

Inline diff scrolls to the change. When a diff appears it now jumps to the first changed line, so the red/green block and its Accept/Reject buttons are always visible (no more hunting for them).
Cleaner generated code. Event handlers added by the agent are now separated by a single blank line (the IDE convention), not two.

Editor crash on diff preview. Fixed an access violation (use-after-free in the editor's diff painting) that could crash the IDE while previewing an inline edit.

Composition-hosted WebView2 (TAefosWebView) for the docked Chat — renders smoothly while docked, fixing the blank/flicker on focus changes.
Provider drivers for four AI CLIs: Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot CLI, and Gemini, each with its own MCP wiring and remembered model.
Design ↔ Code (intent → view) harness: design-mutation tools end in the Form Designer; code-mutation tools end in the editor.
Atomic AddEventHandler — creates the handler in the correct section and wires the .dfm event in one step.
Node-locked single-seat licensing (Community / Pro / Enterprise) with offline grace and a built-in trial.

Inline diff routing broadened (edit unit, replace-in-editor, full-buffer rewrite) with accept/reject (Tab/Esc).
License terms moved to a proprietary EULA with a free Community edition (including internal business use).

Published a machine-readable SBOM (CycloneDX 1.5) and a security disclosure policy (coordinated vulnerability disclosure).
