Rounds keep what they had
- A round no longer swaps quotes. The round note told the writer to delete what a part superseded, so it replaced earlier quotes with its own; on the owner's page two of four part rounds were refused in every run. Every quote already on a page now stays word for word, and a part that settles it adds the outcome beside it.
- A dropped quote is put back before a round is refused. Quotes are compared after removing escapes and normalising spacing and case. Lines a rewrite dropped are restored beside it, then one repair turn gets the exact list of what is still missing; only then is the prior page restored.
- A carried quote that is not in its source is not guarded, and a restored line never lands in a code block or on a one-character row.
- A round that changed nothing skips the synthesis turn; a refused round does not rest the page; a timed-out turn is retried once, and an infrastructure failure waits a day instead of resting the page for a week. Duplicate source definitions merge instead of failing the citation check.
Open threads say who owes whom
A dated ask or promise that no later message answers stays open however old. A promise past its due date reads "due <date>, overdue" instead of closing. Each line says who asked and who agreed: "The user owes", "<Name> owes the user", "<Name> asked the user", "The user asked <Name>". An ask the user never agreed to is not the user's debt. On an invented eight-mail case with four expected lines, main found 2, 0 and 0; this release finds 4, 2 and 4, with no line in the wrong direction.
The owner page's Insight is work only, and hedges such as "it is unclear whether" and 无法确认 are removed by the editing turn; the known fact is written with its date and the open part goes to Open threads.
First run
- A dropped mail connection during mapping is retried (after 2, 4 and 8 s) instead of stopping init. This was the transient Gmail SSL error in the rc9 known issues.
- The first-run estimate prices the heaviest pages at measured rates; on the release check it now says 95 minutes and 100M input tokens against an actual 93.5 minutes and 102M (rc9 said 42 minutes).
- The session cache is built in its own process while init maps, instead of after the owner's quick page or on a thread competing with mapping.
- A domain whose correspondents only send notices or sign-in codes gets no organisation page, and an organisation's mail leaves out notices sent to the owner's own address there.
The reader
- Home is a morning brief: a date line and one summary sentence, then Overnight (verified field changes from the run log), Today (overdue, due within three days, or new), Open threads and Find.
- Copy prompt and Mark done on every open thread. Copy prompt gives an agent the thread, its page and its sources and asks it to draft, not send. Mark done is kept in this browser only; nothing is sent and the notebook is not changed.
- Near-duplicate threads that cite the same message merge; the People table is one line per cell.
- In 中文 mode, overnight values, Facts labels and "Unknown" read in Chinese, and the owner's own English terms stay in English.
Names
Docs, prompts, skills, code comments and tests use invented names only. The names of real correspondents that earlier previews carried in docs and blog posts are gone from this release.
Verification and limits
- Every change merged with all CI checks green; the round, open-thread and first-run changes were measured on copies of real notebooks and on invented cases, three runs per arm.
- No handoff change: the install floor is this release.
- Organisation pages are still the slow tail of a first run.
