Unreleased

[0.94.0] - 2026-06-26

This release makes AI chat durable and fast: assistant turns are persisted to the database step by step and exported server-side, the desktop app no longer freezes at 100% CPU on long agent runs, and MCP writes are badged with unspoofable AI attribution. It also reworks footnotes (Pandoc-style reuse and per-reference back-links), hardens page moves and duplication against cycles and lost edits, and caps the anonymous public-share assistant with a per-workspace rolling-day token budget.

Added

• Custom pretty-links for shared pages (/l/:alias). A page editor can give any publicly shared page a short, memorable, workspace-scoped vanity address backed by a new share_aliases table. Hitting /l/<alias> issues a 302 (never 301, since the target is retargetable) to the canonical /share/<key>/p/<slug> page; an unknown, dangling, or no-longer-readable alias serves the plain SPA index so that the existence of a name never leaks. An alias can be moved to another page (with a confirm-reassign guard) and the foreign key is ON DELETE SET NULL, so deleting the target leaves a dangling alias any workspace member can reclaim. (#205)

• Persistent AI-chat history as the source of truth + server-side export. An assistant turn is now persisted to the database step by step: the row is inserted upfront as streaming and updated as each agent step finishes, then finalized once to completed/error/aborted. A process that dies mid-turn keeps every finished step, and a startup sweep flips any dangling streaming row (untouched for 10 minutes) to aborted. Chat "Copy" now exports server-side from these rows (POST /ai-chat/export) rather than from live client state, so the export is identical whether a chat is freshly streaming, just switched to, or reloaded — and is available from the first turn of a new chat. (#183, #174)

• AI-agent attribution for MCP writes. Comments (and pages) created through the MCP endpoint by a dedicated agent account are now badged as "AI", with unspoofable provenance derived from a per-user is_agent flag (not from the request body). Operator setup: use a dedicated service account for the MCP fallback and set the flag with SQL — UPDATE users SET is_agent = true WHERE email = '<mcp-account>'. Never flag a human or shared account, or its normal edits get mis-attributed as AI. See the AI-agent block in .env.example. (#143)

• Footnote import diagnostics. The MCP page-write tools (create_page, update_page, import_page_markdown) now return a footnoteWarnings array flagging dangling references, empty or duplicate definitions, and [^id] markers inside table rows, so an agent can fix its own markup. The page is still created; the field is omitted when there are no problems. (#166)

• AI chat "Protocol" setting (chatApiStyle). A new admin choice in AI settings for the openai driver: openai-compatible (default) routes chat through @ai-sdk/openai-compatible, which surfaces a provider's streamed reasoning (reasoning_content → reasoning parts) for z.ai/GLM, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, etc.; openai uses the official provider (real-OpenAI reasoning-model request shaping). Chosen explicitly rather than inferred from the base URL, since a custom URL can front real OpenAI too. (#175, #177)

• Per-MCP-server instructions in the agent prompt. Each external MCP server now has an admin-authored instructions field ("how/when to use this server's tools") that is injected into the agent's system prompt next to that server's tool descriptions. Trusted text, rendered inside the prompt safety sandwich; shown only for a server that actually connected and contributed ≥1 callable tool. (#180)

• Footnote multi-backlinks. A footnote referenced more than once now shows a back-link per reference (↩ a b c …), each scrolling to its own occurrence, like Pandoc/Wikipedia; a single-reference footnote keeps the plain ↩. (#168)

• Generate a page title from its content. A "sparkles" button in the page byline reads the live editor content (including unsaved edits), generates a title via the workspace AI provider (POST /ai-chat/generate-page-title), and applies it through the existing /pages/update route — reflecting it in the title field and broadcasting to other clients. Gated by the settings.ai.generative flag and throttled per user. (#199)

Changed

• AI chat default provider is now openai-compatible (reasoning surfaced). For the openai driver the chat provider defaults to the openai-compatible implementation, so a workspace pointing at z.ai/GLM/DeepSeek now streams the model's reasoning out of the box. An endpoint that is real OpenAI behind a custom base URL should set the new chatApiStyle "Protocol" to openai. (#177)

• Footnotes now reuse (Pandoc semantics). Multiple [^a] references to the same id are ONE footnote — one number, one definition, several back-references — instead of being renamed to a__2, a__3. Duplicate [^a]: definitions are first-wins on import (the rest are dropped and reported via footnoteWarnings), and a reference with no definition yields a single empty footnote rather than one per occurrence. This supersedes the 0.93.0 "survive duplicate-id definitions" behavior for the import path. (#166)

• Public share AI: default per-workspace hourly assistant cap lowered 300 → 100. The limiter falls back to this default whenever SHARE_AI_WORKSPACE_MAX_PER_HOUR is unset, so a 0.93.0 deployment that never set the env var has its anonymous public-share assistant hourly cap cut from 300 to 100 on upgrade. Set SHARE_AI_WORKSPACE_MAX_PER_HOUR to keep the previous limit. (#62)

Fixed

• AI chat: the desktop app no longer freezes at 100% CPU on long agent runs. useChat re-rendered on every streamed token and MessageItem/ReasoningBlock re-parsed the whole transcript markdown (marked + DOMPurify) on every delta, so per-turn work grew quadratically and saturated the main thread. The stream is now throttled (experimental_throttle) to ~20 Hz and each finalized message row / markdown part / reasoning block is memoized, so a long turn no longer re-parses already-finished content. (#182)
• Editor: caret/selection landed on the wrong line when clicking inside code blocks and footnotes. The affected NodeViews rendered their non-editable chrome (language menu, footnotes heading, footnote number marker) before the editable content, so the browser's click hit-testing missed the contentDOM and snapped the caret to a previous node. Content now renders first in the DOM (chrome is lifted back into place via CSS flex order), and scroll containers are nudged after a paste to refresh stale hit-testing geometry. The caret symptom is macOS-specific and was confirmed manually on macOS; the automated guard pins the DOM-order invariant, not the caret behavior itself. (#146, #147)
• AI chat: the live token counter now ticks between agent steps. During a multi-step turn the header token badge (and the "Thinking… · N tokens" line) no longer froze on the previous step's authoritative usage; the current step's estimate is combined per-component with max, so the count rises smoothly and never jumps backwards. (#163)
• AI chat: "New chat" during a streaming first turn now resets the whole chat, not just the role badge. Starting a new chat mid-stream cleared the header but left the in-flight turn's messages behind, so the fresh chat opened pre-populated with the previous conversation; it now fully resets. (#161)
• AI chat: a dropped tool argument now yields an actionable error. When the model omitted a required parameter (typically pageId) in a parallel/batch tool call, the assistant forwarded zod's raw "expected string, received undefined" text; tool inputs now return a message naming each missing/invalid parameter (the JSON Schema contract is unchanged and nothing is backfilled). (#190)
• Page move: cycle checks are now atomic and depth-bounded. Moving a page under one of its own descendants is rejected in the same transaction as the update (closing a TOCTOU window where two concurrent A→B / B→A moves could form a cycle), and the recursive tree-traversal CTEs carry a cycle/depth guard so a pre-existing cycle can no longer spin a query. (#207)
• Page/editor robustness batch. Duplicating a page now copies shared attachments for every referencing page (not just the first); colliding block ids are de-duplicated on import/normalize so MCP addressed edits can't hit the wrong node; transient collab store failures are retried so autosave edits aren't lost; and an out-of-order tree move no longer drops the moved subtree. (#206)

Security

• Public share AI: per-workspace rolling-day token budget. The anonymous share assistant now caps a workspace's actual token spend (input + output, summed across every accepted turn) over a trailing day, on top of the hourly request cap — so a caller who evades the per-IP throttle still cannot run up the owner's provider bill without bound. Cluster-wide via Redis and FAILS CLOSED if Redis is down; default 1,000,000 tokens/day, overridable via SHARE_AI_WORKSPACE_TOKEN_BUDGET_PER_DAY. (#159)

0.93.0 - 2026-06-21

This release builds on the 0.91.0 AI foundation: admin-defined AI agent roles, an anonymous AI assistant on public shares, server-side voice dictation, an editor footnotes model, live page-template embeds, and sandboxed arbitrary-HTML embeds — plus a large batch of security hardening and test coverage.

Breaking Changes

• MCP shared-token auth moved to its own header. The /mcp shared guard no longer reads Authorization: Bearer <MCP_TOKEN>; it now reads only the X-MCP-Token header. The Authorization header is now reserved for per-user HTTP Basic / Bearer access-JWT credentials, so each /mcp request authenticates as a specific user (the MCP_DOCMOST_* service account is only a fallback). Existing MCP clients (e.g. Claude Desktop) configured with Authorization: Bearer <MCP_TOKEN> must be reconfigured to send X-MCP-Token: <MCP_TOKEN> instead. See MCP_TOKEN in .env.example. As a one-time aid, the server logs a single migration warning when it sees the old-style header.

Added

• AI agent roles: admin-defined assistant personas with an optional per-role model override, selectable in chat.
• Anonymous AI assistant on public shares: public-share visitors can chat with a selectable agent-role identity that reuses the internal chat presentation, with per-request output-token caps and a fail-closed Redis limiter.
• Voice dictation (STT): server-side speech-to-text with a mic button in the chat and the editor, OpenRouter STT support, an endpoint test, and real provider-error surfacing.
• Footnotes: an editor footnotes model (inline references + a definitions list).
• Page templates: live whole-page embed (MVP) with a template-marker icon in the page tree and a working Refresh action.
• Arbitrary HTML/CSS/JS embeds: a sandboxed-iframe embed block gated by a per-workspace toggle (default OFF); insertable by any member when the toggle is on.
• Admin-only "Analytics / tracker" workspace setting: a raw HTML/JS snippet injected into the <head> of public share pages only (for analytics such as Google Analytics or Yandex.Metrika), kept separate from the member-facing HTML-embed feature.
• MCP: a hierarchical tree mode for list_pages, and per-user auth for the embedded /mcp endpoint.
• Page tree: Expand all / Collapse all for the space tree, and server-authoritative realtime tree updates.
• AI chat UX: a get_current_page tool for proxy-robust page context, a current-context-size readout, an agent step cap raised 8→20 with a forced final text answer, and auto-collapse of the chat window on page focus.
• AI settings: a Clear control inside the API-key field and an endpoint status dot bound to "configured × enabled".
• Client: an always-visible space grid replacing the space-switcher popover, removal of the sidebar Overview item, tighter comments-panel density, and no auto-open of the comments panel when adding a comment.

Changed

• HTML embed blocks now render inside a sandboxed iframe (separate origin) and, when the workspace HTML-embed toggle is on, can be inserted by any member (previously admin-only). Turning the toggle off hides existing embeds and stops serving them on public share pages.
• Remove the server-side role-based stripping of HTML-embed blocks from the write paths (collab/REST/MCP, page create/duplicate, import, transclusion unsync); sandboxing makes per-write gating unnecessary. The only remaining server-side strip is the public-share read path, which still honors the workspace HTML-embed toggle.

Fixed

• AI chat: preserve scroll position during streaming, record chats that fail on their first turn, and resolve the current page for agent context behind proxies.
• AI roles: guard update() against concurrent soft-delete; harden the model override, role-name uniqueness, and id validation; sandwich the safety framework around the role persona.
• Auth: handle null-password (SSO/LDAP-only) accounts without a bcrypt throw.
• Footnotes: survive duplicate-id definitions without collab divergence.
• HTML embed: fix stale iframe height and damp the resize loop; strip embeds at serve time on authenticated read paths and the plain page-create path.
• Page templates: import ThrottleModule so collab boots, never strand an in-flight page-embed id, and add defense-in-depth workspace checks.
• Pages: movePage cycle guard with no phantom PAGE_MOVED event.
• Import: surface the real error cause from /pages/import instead of a generic 400.

Security

• MCP: close an SSO/MFA bypass on Basic auth and stop minting non-init sessions; close a brute-force limiter check-then-act race.
• Public share: block restricted descendants in the anonymous assistant, cap per-request output, fail closed when Redis is unavailable, and reject non-text message parts to close a size-cap bypass.
• Make trustProxy env-configurable with a safe default.

Internal

• CI: gate the develop and release image builds on the test suite, run the suites on push/PR, and build the :develop image on push to develop.
• Docs: replace CLAUDE.md with AGENTS.md codifying the agent workflow and the release procedure, add migration-ordering guidance, and prune implemented plans.
• A large batch of new server/client test coverage.

0.91.0 - 2026-06-18

Gitmost is a community-focused fork of Docmost. This release drops the Enterprise-Edition code paths and introduces the in-app AI agent chat, a RAG knowledge layer, an embedded MCP server, and the Gitmost rebrand.

Breaking Changes

• Remove all frontend Enterprise-Edition code — the project now builds as a pure community edition.
• AI agent: drop the updateComment tool from the agent toolset.

Added

• AI agent chat: per-user in-app AI agent with a floating chat window. Includes live streaming responses, open-page context awareness, a typing indicator, a Stop control, and copy/export of a conversation as Markdown.
• AI agent write tools & provenance: reversible write tools (page create/update/move/soft-delete, comment reply/resolve) enforced by Docmost CASL, plus non-spoofable agent provenance signed into access/collab tokens and recorded on pages and comments. No permanent/force delete.
• RAG knowledge retrieval: workspace bulk reindex with a manual "Reindex now" action, hybrid RRF retrieval with heading-breadcrumb chunks and a merged search tool, dimension-agnostic embeddings, and RAG indexing coverage shown in AI settings.
• MCP: embedded community MCP server served at /mcp; an admin UI to list/add/edit/delete external MCP servers with per-server enable toggle, Test, write-only auth headers, a tool allowlist, and a Tavily preset; insert_image/ replace_image can now fetch sources from web URLs.
• AI configuration: dedicated AI provider settings with separate base URL and API key for the chat vs. embedding model, and per-endpoint test buttons.
• Branding: Gitmost logo, favicon, and app name.
• Collaboration: comment resolution for the community build; agent edits are separated from human edits in page history.
• Editor / client: page-tree open/closed state is persisted per workspace+user; the brand logo shows the current git describe version.

Changed

• Move AI settings to a dedicated /settings/ai page and redesign it with per-endpoint test buttons.
• edit_page_text now returns verifiable mutation results and refuses formatting-only edits; the agent tolerates Markdown in edit_page_text/insert_node locators.
• Compact large tool outputs before persisting them.
• Reduce the chat window corner radius, shrink the chat message font size, and shrink the default page-tree indentation from 16px to 8px.

Fixed

• AI chat: stable streaming store id so optimistic and streamed messages render immediately; provider errors stay visible and surface the real provider status/message; the composer draft survives the new-chat id-adoption remount; the workspace AI-chat enable toggle is restored for self-hosted.
• AI providers: use OpenAI Chat Completions for multi-turn requests; self-heal the stored provider settings JSON; drop the hard output-token cap that truncated complex tool calls.
• RAG: make the indexer observable and bound hung embedding calls; stop the coverage bar from sticking below 100% on empty pages.
• Collaboration: use - instead of : in the agent page-history job id.
• Accessibility fixes (#2275) and table jitter on the edit/read toggle (#2252).

Removed

• Non-functional DOCX / PDF / Confluence import buttons.

Documentation

• README: rebrand to the Gitmost fork with EE-free positioning, an MCP comparison, a grouped roadmap, a Russian translation, a "Migration from Docmost" section, and AI agent chat documentation.
• Add plans for mobile app, voice dictation, arbitrary HTML/CSS/JS embeds, and offline sync & PWA.

Internal

• Add .claude/worktrees/ to .gitignore.
• CI: add a develop workflow with workflow_dispatch; ignore cache errors in the develop and release builds.
• Build: drop the private EE submodule, retarget CI to GHCR, and update the Docker image to the GHCR registry.
