Changelog

0.10.2 Type-Safety Maintenance

• Strengthened external-data, collection, parser, and exporter type boundaries so the complete unsafe TypeScript lint family remains clean without suppressions or unsafe casts.

0.10.1 Release Integrity

• Bundled the editable logo artwork into main.js, reduced the runtime and release package to main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css, and retained logo.svg only as repository branding source.
• Added first-party GitHub Artifact Attestations for the three runtime release assets with least-privilege workflow permissions.

0.10.0 Initial Public Release

• Added searchable settings definitions for Obsidian 1.13+ while retaining the imperative settings fallback required by the declared Obsidian 1.5 minimum.
• Removed deprecated destructive-button calls and the lint exemptions that hid them.
• Replaced regular-expression lookbehind so mobile builds remain compatible with older iOS WebKit.
• Hardened HTML/EPUB active-content validation, CSS settings escaping, profile imports, download filenames, and author-facing error redaction.
• Restored the complete version compatibility map and added manifest author and optional funding metadata.
• Replaced placeholder support actions with explicit GitHub issue links and clarified external-link and funding disclosures.
• Reduced plugin startup work by persisting settings only when repair or migration changes stored data.

0.9.2 Release Candidate

Universal export workflow

• Added native DOCX, ODT, EPUB 3, standalone HTML, Markdown, and versioned manuscript XML exporters over one shared projection of the prepared semantic Book.
• Added one validator registry and blocked browser delivery whenever the selected format fails structural validation.
• Replaced every active vault/external-path output route with one platform-neutral Blob download service that removes temporary anchors and always revokes object URLs.
• Removed completed-export vault writes, output folders, overwrite/open/reveal actions, Electron compatibility code, and the obsolete staged vault writer. Historical fields remain migration-only.
• Added portable cross-format filename repair, accurate MIME types, per-format progressive formatting controls, format/download history flags, individual format test commands, and a six-format large-manuscript benchmark.
• Added native ODT and EPUB ZIP structures using the existing fflate runtime dependency; HTML, Markdown, and XML use built-in UTF-8 encoding.
• Kept version 0.9.2 and preserved the existing manuscript detection, correction, cleaning, prepared-session, Vellum DOCX, privacy, and stale-preview behaviour.

Fixed

• Added the official Obsidian ESLint flat configuration, sentence-case command labels, supported lifecycle/DOM usage, strict TypeScript, scoped theme-safe CSS, and release pre-flight validation without changing command IDs or export semantics.
• Traced the reported normal-weight, combined Part/Chapter lines to valid Markdown heading source being viewed as plain text. Markdown remains clean #/## syntax; rendered Markdown supplies its heading presentation.
• Made HTML and EPUB Part/Chapter output use explicit combined or separate manuscript heading classes whose embedded stylesheet sets font-weight: 700, with no generic heading-weight rule and no later weight reset.
• Verified ODT heading paragraphs reference named styles that explicitly declare bold while Author, body paragraphs, and scene separators retain their existing weight. XML remains semantic and presentation-neutral.
• Left the native DOCX generator and its Vellum behaviour unchanged. This correction adds no runtime dependency, external tool, network route, or conversion step.
• Enlarged Contents folder disclosure chevrons to 21 px with a 30 × 30 px native-button target without changing note markers, ordering arrows, keyboard operation, focus, or ARIA state.
• Rejected . and .. output segments before adapter path normalisation so traversal cannot be collapsed into an apparently safe vault path.
• Changed stale-preview verification to hash source contents, detecting equal-size edits even when file timestamps do not change.
• Removed tracked local plugin state from release sources and ignored future data.json files.
• Repaired malformed profile, history, and log entries before migration or UI rendering.
• Replaced the deprecated Electron version probe with Obsidian's documented API version, then removed the desktop-only export bridge.
• Removed stale hard-coded plugin version metadata from generated DOCX packages.
• Fixed a real-vault hierarchy failure where a nested folder repeating the book name became a second Part, leaving valid Chapter Scenes orphaned and producing a zero Chapter count.
• Transparent containers now reparent descendants to their nearest included structural ancestor without losing hierarchy, order, source paths, or explicit choices.
• Mixed front/back matter, copyright containers, and common back-matter note names no longer become manuscript Parts, Chapters, or Scenes.
• Added a folder-only File Explorer action, Compile manuscript from this folder, which opens the existing workspace with the exact clicked folder as the authoritative root.
• Preview, validation, Markdown, and DOCX export now consume one prepared semantic Book; export never rebuilds the manuscript after preview.
• Source or compile-choice changes after preview block stale export and keep Refresh Preview available.
• Every compile command uses the same authoritative content plan, transparent-container rules, project-folder exclusions, dashboard/revision classification, and body cleaning.
• Legacy command routes can no longer bypass Archive, Development, Exports, dashboard, Synopsis, Revision Notes, metadata-leakage, or zero-number protections.
• DOCX bytes are structurally validated before browser download dispatch.
• Chapter page breaks obey the active setting; Part and Chapter transitions no longer depend on synthetic blank break paragraphs.
• Scene separators occur only between included Scenes, and the following prose uses First Paragraph styling.
• Table-of-contents selection reaches a genuine Word TOC field.
• Callouts are described accurately as conversion to plain text, preserving body text while removing the marker and title.
• Removed the unused Subtitle Word style and the unused generic Markdown-to-DOCX production compatibility route.
• Separated orchestration, workspace state, history, result actions, operation state, and step rendering without changing command IDs.
• Contents role and inclusion edits now preserve scroll position and keyboard focus by updating existing rows instead of rebuilding the tree.
• Excluded folders collapse automatically without clearing descendant inclusion choices or manual order.
• Native DOCX scene breaks preserve the selected #, *, ***, * * *, blank-line, or custom value instead of normalising it to another separator.
• Native DOCX XML now removes XML 1.0-forbidden control characters while preserving escaped punctuation and valid Unicode in titles, author metadata, headings, separators, fonts, and prose.
• Persisted history and compile-log repair now whitelists bounded record fields, redacts historical absolute paths, and discards unknown private payloads; malformed nested profile variables, filters, and body aliases are repaired before use.
• Shareable diagnostics now redact the active profile name in addition to paths, filter values, warning details, and manuscript content.
• Download filenames reject or repair paths, control characters, trailing dots/spaces, duplicate/wrong extensions, and Windows device names.

Improved

• Added comprehensive maintainer documentation across production source boundaries, a professional author-focused user guide with exact screenshot requirements, a developer guide, an expanded architecture/source map, a security policy, and detailed contribution standards. This pass changes documentation only and introduces no runtime behavior or dependency.
• Added a persistent Indent first line of paragraphs toggle for DOCX, ODT, EPUB, and HTML. Enabled output applies the existing indent size only to later body paragraphs; disabled output uses zero first-line indent while first paragraphs after headings and scene breaks remain zero in both modes. The size control is hidden when disabled, Markdown reports its portable-format limitation without changing output, and XML remains presentation-neutral.
• Missing indentation-toggle settings migrate idempotently to enabled so existing output is preserved. Vellum and Standard Manuscript default to enabled, Custom retains its toggle and size, and the option uses the existing prepared-session/export path without a new dependency or executable.
• Simplified the authoritative workspace to Manuscript → Contents → Create file, with a compact collapsed outline, focused ignored/warning reviews, and full item controls retained behind Correct structure.
• Combined format selection, applicable formatting, warnings, resolved filename, and readiness in the final Create file stage; advanced formatting, templates, profiles, and records remain available through disclosures.
• Added conservative metadata/folder title resolution, author fallback, privacy-safe warning categories, and platform-specific alternate-save wording without adding another compile or parse path.
• Grouped removed manuscript metadata into one informational detail that does not inflate warning counts, and compacted ignored folders without discarding child choices.
• Made universal browser download the only completed-export delivery path on desktop and mobile; no hidden or compatibility vault copy is created.
• Preparation now calculates statistics and renders Markdown once, records real scan/parse/cleaning/generation timings, and no longer retains a duplicate raw-prose copy for every parsed note.
• Compile logs persist structural warning-code summaries and shareable diagnostics omit legacy warning details that may contain private metadata.
• Release packaging now uses the audited fflate ZIP implementation already required by DOCX generation instead of maintaining a second ZIP writer and parser.
• Added privacy-safe orphan hierarchy diagnostics and a realistic nested-container/mixed-matter Warden regression.
• Final-model preview now shows the exact exported outline, statistics, warnings, exclusions, filename, and destination.
• Output verification, rollback guidance, cancellation boundaries, partial-result handling, and history sequencing have stronger automated coverage.
• Vellum, Standard Manuscript, and supported Custom formatting resolve deterministically and are inspected semantically in generated Word XML.
• Architecture, release documentation, performance coverage, and the manual release checklist now describe the actual native-DOCX product.
• New Vellum and Standard requests default to A4 and metric indentation; existing Letter and legacy inch-based choices migrate without visual formatting drift.

Compatibility

• Existing settings, profiles, history, logs, Chapter-break preferences, title-page choices, TOC preferences, formatting values, metadata filters, and command IDs remain supported through idempotent migration.
• No other Obsidian community plugin is required. Pandoc and external executables are neither required nor invoked.
• DOCX creation remains offline; obsolete Pandoc fields are retained only so older saved data can be loaded safely.

0.9.1 Corrective Release

• Changed manuscript discovery to exclude project, archive, development, dashboard, research, revision, and export material by default while keeping every exclusion visible and overridable.
• Added transparent manuscript containers so folders such as Manuscript, Draft, and Content contribute no exported heading.
• Added template-aware scene-body extraction and structured project-metadata removal, including leaked Series, Book, Part, Chapter, Scene, character, and editing fields.
• Replaced the generic native Markdown-to-DOCX dump with model-driven fiction DOCX generation using semantic Part, Chapter, body, first-paragraph, scene-break, and matter styles.
• Added the Warden of Silence regression fixture and semantic DOCX XML assertions for content exclusion, pagination, paragraph styles, Unicode, and metadata safety.
• Changed the Export preview to use the exact prepared semantic manuscript model passed to DOCX/Markdown export; included source changes now require Refresh Preview before export.
• Added structural DOCX validation plus staged, verified saving with same-folder replacement on local vaults, adapter-compatible recovery, rollback of existing outputs, and conservative stale-temporary cleanup.
• Unified guided, current-book, selected-folder, sample, legacy-profile, validation, Markdown, and DOCX routes behind the authoritative prepared-manuscript service. Existing command IDs are retained, and validation now reports the same final semantic model used by export.
• Separated plugin composition, command orchestration, workspace state, step rendering, export coordination, operation state, history, and platform result actions; removed unregistered legacy settings classes and their unreachable post-return block.

Central export rule: Only explicitly included publishable content is exported. Vault organisation and project metadata are never manuscript content.

0.8.0 Simplified Beta
