1.8.8b3 — Personal Wiki preview after real-use repair

This opt-in preview carries the finished Wiki work since 1.8.8b1. The next public preview number is b3; there was no published b2 artifact. Stable remains 1.8.7, and the full Personal Wiki acceptance target remains 1.9.0.

A real first-run test had produced zero accepted people pages out of three even though the model wrote candidate pages. The default model was unavailable to a ChatGPT account, initialization did not make connected mail available to investigation, and the validator rejected citations to fetched messages. The repair was retested on the same notebook: 11 of 11 selected people pages were accepted, including an address-merged contact and a 201-message contact. The retained candidates, material and reviews remain local, not in this package.

Initialization now explains the state of each source and asks about likely owner aliases rather than silently merging them into people. The Wiki can read explicitly selected WhatsApp chats from the local listener's files. co wiki open can open a private full page through the Host OIP route. Delegated Wiki runs use a stable task workspace, so related Codex turns stay together; the scheduled daily round can maintain the notebook and investigate at most one unfinished page under its call cap. Candidate validation and review evidence still guard promotion of a generated page.

Install this exact preview with:

python -m pip install --upgrade --pre 'connectonion==1.8.8b3'
co --version
co wiki --help

This is not the 1.9.0 stable acceptance. The harness audit (#1629), end-to-end quality for project and Skill investigations, model cost limits, and page-sharing boundaries still require review. The real-person retest proves the repaired sample, not that every generated claim is correct. A skipped or unavailable source must remain visible in coverage. Keep reviewing citations and source visibility before sharing a page.
