Revision history for AnyEvent::MCP

0.83  (unreleased)
        - give mcp-fs writable private /tmp and /var/tmp (mode 1777) even
          with world-read; only shared-tmp or world-write exposes host
          temporary directories. Make world-write formally imply shared-tmp
          for permission checks; document the private/host lifetime distinction.
        - add read-only mcp-imap previews for 25 UIDs, with bounded partial
          MIME decoding, HTML link preservation and grouped IMAP FETCH calls.
        - allow mcp-imap messages to fetch selected UIDs without SEARCH.
        - actually truncate bounded IMAP part/raw responses to max_bytes,
          not just flag them as truncated.
        - use a 15-second HTTP read-inactivity timeout by default, suspended
          while processing complete requests; respect explicit handle rtimeout.
        - load MIME::Base64 in the HTTP server itself for encoded modern
          Mcp-Name headers, without depending on the HTTP client loading it.
        - log ordinary HTTP 404 responses at trace rather than warn,
          including GET /; keep other HTTP rejection warnings.
        - reuse the latest saved per-dimension scope as the next permission
          rule editor's default where offered, otherwise keep the original
          conservative choice; native, YAD and terminal forms agree.
        - handle the common token-only HTTP endpoint in warning logs:
          redact known tokens without misclassifying unrelated paths.
        - include bounded, JSON-escaped request paths in rejected HTTP request
          warnings; omit queries and redact configured and attempted URL tokens.
        - show captured helper status, stderr and stdout when the permission
          UI test fails, and report remote file-patch results and file content
          when the mock remote filesystem test fails (CPAN Testers diagnostics).

0.82  Fri 06 Nov 2026 15:53:46 CET
        - add a first-permission-dialog walkthrough to Intro.pod, explaining
          one-time versus persistent grants, rule scopes and exec stdin risks;
          correct its description of logical workdir IDs.
        - add common repeatable -s/--set KEY=VALUE process-local overrides
          for trusted instance configuration, after program/instance defaults.
        - key remote mcp-fs host permissions by --host alone, independent of
          --rsh; add independent local/remote host scopes (this host by
          default, or all hosts), retaining old unscoped saved rules.
          Workdir scopes remain plain paths, independent of host.
        - omit single-choice permission scope selectors from native, YAD and
          terminal rule dialogs, automatically retaining the sole match in
          saved rules without broadening their applicability.
        - log rejected HTTP requests (status 400 and above) with method,
          status and peer information, without leaking URL tokens; demote
          ordinary connection/TLS errors to trace.
        - do not warn on routine GET / requests; keep the normal 404
          response without exposing a server-identification page.
        - preserve mcp-vim subprocess stderr when its JSONL initialization
          fails, instead of hiding the failure behind EOF and SIGPIPE.
        - bootstrap remote mcp-fs over a short Perl command, streaming the
          launcher source over stdin. Avoid rsh command length limits and
          preserve worker input across exec by using exact sysread.
        - format mcp-fs sandbox grants, tools, trusted configuration keys
          and permission action classes as individually searchable POD items.
        - give the mock remote filesystem test its running Perl interpreter
          explicitly, rather than assuming it is in a fixed Unix PATH.
        - avoid locale-dependent TCP error strings in reverse-connection tests,
          and skip mcp-imap provider CLI tests when optional fork modules
          are unavailable while retaining standalone provider parser tests.

0.81  Thu 05 Nov 2026 04:51:59 CET
        - keep OAuth2 tests working without optional Mail::IMAPTalk,
          IO::Socket::SSL or Authen::SASL; skip only worker-specific checks.
        - support optional `mount-try.SUFFIX = ro:/path` or `rw:/path` in
          mcp-fs configuration. Pass these directly as bubblewrap
          --ro-bind-try/--bind-try for each invocation, without startup path
          checks, locally and remotely; required mount.* entries are unchanged.
        - support one remote host per mcp-fs instance with -h/--host and
          -e/--rsh; resolve remote workdirs and available tools in a single
          startup probe, then execute existing workers through a binary-framed
          remote Perl launcher without installing any MCP modules remotely.
        - use logical absolute pathnames (without resolving symlinks) as compact
          workdir IDs across hosts; qualify remote permission scopes independently.
          Named profiles remain shared between instances. Report cached remote
          VCS markers and remote umask.
        - reserve -h for application-specific options; --help remains common.
        - test remote workers, external GNU utilities, permission isolation,
          shell argument quoting and startup probing using a mock remote shell
          and bubblewrap, including unsandboxed/auto behavior. Verify matching
          workdir IDs for identical logical paths across local and remote
          instances.
        - make mock remote-agent tests independent of a local SSH_AUTH_SOCK
          inherited from the test runner (including CPAN Testers).
        - document --eager when starting mcp-webbrowser through multibroker;
          defer possible downstream preferences for --eager and --hidden.

0.8   Thu 05 Nov 2026 01:52:48 CET
        - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: due to the added user management, existing
          url tokens have been invalidated.
        - limit distribution permission normalization to its staging
          directory, and supply proper CPAN author and abstract metadata.
        - give shared command-line switches their own reference in
          Server::Simple; use individually indexed POD items for executable
          options and application-specific shared-option behavior.
        - refresh the introductory guide and mcp-imap/mcp-http manuals
          with first-use workflows, OAuth2 setup, mailbox/search examples
          and reverse-TLS troubleshooting; correct stale retry documentation.
        - extend mcp-imap SEARCH filters with recursive AND/OR/NOT, header,
          text/body, date, size and flag criteria; use explicitly quoted
          IMAP arguments and bounded filter complexity.
        - capture deliberately triggered connection errors in test assertions,
          avoiding noisy successful test runs.
        - expose IMAP LSUB to inspect subscribed mailboxes, alongside
          subscribe/unsubscribe; return the same format as LIST.
        - remove superseded IMAP OAuth provider and pagination prototypes
          and their obsolete reference tests.
        - defer outgoing mail submission research (mcp-smtp or mcp-imap)
          in TODO.md.
        - retry reverse connections only for TCP connection refusal and
          unexpected disconnects; report and stop on other TCP errors or
          TLS handshake/verification failures.
        - force scalar context when checking Mail::IMAPTalk results;
          list context truncated LIST responses and could corrupt SEARCH
          results. Test with context-sensitive IMAP mocks.
        - report HTTPS reverse-connection handshake failures rather than
          silently retrying; send credentials only after verified TLS succeeds.
        - omit pointless mailbox permission dimension for mcp-imap mailboxes.
        - clarify expected OAuth redirect error page and account selection.
        - implement mcp-imap OAuth2 authorization-code login with PKCE,
          human-pasted headless browser redirect, HTTPS token exchange,
          refresh-token persistence/rotation and IMAP SASL XOAUTH2.
          Keep interactive credentials outside MCP tools and argv.
        - omit unnecessary shell quotes in mcp-imap providers commands.
        - expand mcp-imap providers with Thunderbird ISPDB domain search,
          provider-hosted HTTPS autoconfig lookup and ISPDB fallback,
          password-based IMAP alternatives and provider setup instructions;
          continue printing optional OAuth configuration without saving it.
        - add per-downstream --hidden to mcp-multibroker, omitting a
          server's tools from normal discovery while retaining explicit
          list-tools, discover-brokers and call-tool access.
        - number the user management test consecutively as t/27_users.t.
        - tidy Perl import grouping, internal comments and source layout
          in the command-line tools and library modules.
        - stop imposing an IMAP account file mode check; access is governed
          by ordinary filesystem permissions.
        - use the permission engine's literal matching convention for exact
          user identities and test positive permission-scope validation.
        - reject invalid browser WebSocket credentials via the documented
          handshake exception interface, producing one specific warning.
        - apply the same handshake rejection handling to Vim WebSocket
          connections, including peer and invalid-token/path warnings.
        - document user-management scopes and URL examples in command help.
        - add scoped, revocable MCP users with HKDF-derived credentials,
          an implicit global default user, and atomic user management;
          list effective user URLs with --print-url[=USER], also accepting
          --print-urls, without binding the advertised listener port.
        - associate HTTP credentials with per-request users, bind user
          identity to persistent permissions and permission continuations,
          and delegate original users through trusted multibrokers.
        - select the effective connect_user (default: default) for reverse
          MCP, private Vim and browser connections, independently of normal
          authenticated HTTP tool calls.
        - treat empty directory paths as "." in mcp-fs list, find, grep and
          VCS cwd, without accepting empty filenames.
        - support opportunistic HTTP/HTTPS and reverse MCP connections on the
          same listener, TLS certificate/key CLI options, and dual URL discovery;
          support verified HTTPS for outgoing reverse connections.
        - treat idle HTTP disconnects as normal EOF while retaining errors
          for clients disconnecting during request headers or bodies.
        - identify failing MCP connections by client name, remote address
          and connection id, including modern per-request client metadata.
        - trace local multibroker prompt starts, outcomes and cancellations
          with elapsed time to diagnose disappearing permission dialogs.
        - use an 8 MiB default MCP message size across JSONL and HTTP
          clients and servers, allowing large base64 tool requests through
          mcp-multibroker; log server transport errors at warn level
          instead of silently closing connections.
        - load AnyEvent::Log at compile time so its format_time call is parsed
          as a function, fixing activity logging on Perl 5.10.

0.71  Fri 30 Oct 2026 18:01:51 CET
        - make multibroker-spawned children ask for permissions through MCP,
          independently of the multibroker's own permission prompt mode.
        - log VCS backend and a bounded, JSON-quoted preview of filenames for
          vcs-diff, vcs-status and vcs-log.
        - load only core modules in t/00_load.t; optional IMAP dependencies
          are tested separately when available.
        - let the fake bubblewrap test use the host temporary directory on
          systems without /tmp (notably Termux).
        - suppress Perl startup locale warnings in sandbox workers when
          the requested C.UTF-8 locale is unavailable.
        - canonicalize temporary test paths to match mcp-fs on systems with
          symlinked temp directories; diagnose failing filesystem assertions.
        - test SSE notification ordering at client delivery rather than
          server enqueue time, avoiding a network scheduling race.
        - diagnose failing multibroker HTTP integration tests with preflight
          responses, RPC results and bounded server startup diagnostics.

0.7   Fri 30 Oct 2026 14:56:18 CET
        - WARNING: mcp-imap is unfinished and has not been tested against a real IMAP server.
        - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: rules have changed, old rules will be erased.
        - declare the same license terms as Perl itself in distribution metadata.
        - new mcp servers in this release: mcp-http
        - accept optional dimension default matcher for persistent-rule prompts;
        - clarify that mcp-fs exec has private /tmp by default; shared-tmp
          exposes host /tmp and is not needed for ordinary temporary files or IPC.
        - add mcp-fs vcs-log for Git, SVN, CVS and Mercurial, reusing bounded
          output and dedicated permission actions; SVN log receives network
          and SSH-agent grants alongside CVS operations.
          mcp-webbrowser prefers any JavaScript in the current tab, while the
          independent origin dimension remains scoped to the current origin.
        - log mcp-http requests with their method and a sanitized URL preview;
          identify mcp-http/$VERSION in User-Agent unless overridden by the caller.
          Allow generic key=value context in the shared mcp_log_request formatter.
        - silently treat invalid saved permission-rule files as empty, prompting
          instead of aborting broker startup; subsequent saves replace the old file.
        - add mcp-http for arbitrary HTTP methods with URL-scoped approvals,
          caller-managed cookie jars, bounded bodies and text grep/regex/substitution.
          Disable redirects, retries and proxies; verify HTTPS certificates.
        - derive browser permission origins from reported URLs, not a new
          userscript field; keep older browser clients able to execute with
          origin-scoped permissions.
        - accept compatible browser-protocol minor versions; return empty
          operation discovery for 1.0 clients instead of disconnecting them.
          Direct rule saves no longer perform semantic validation.
        - replace special-case subject, origin and workdir permission scopes with
          named dimensions: metadata-driven prompts, generic match.NAME rule keys,
          and engine-enforced matcher choices. Reject old request and rule fields;
          no conversion or backward-compatible rule loading.
        - preserve selected origin scopes when external permission helpers
          forward persistent decisions through native MCP elicitation.
        - add origin-scoped MCP permission rules, selectable independently of
          code/tab scopes; mcp-webbrowser derives browser origins for
          JavaScript and tab operations, with exact, any-port and any-origin
          choices. Existing rules without origins continue to match all origins.
        - use POSIX::uname instead of nonportable hostname -f for the XPCSE
          browser nickname, consistent with HTTP URL wildcard host selection.
        - make form helper test run via explicit ./ path, avoid early HTTP
          timer races, and test filesystem discovery with optional tools absent.
        - report browser protocol rejections through bounded WebSocket close
          reasons; show abnormal disconnects in the userscript console and toast.
        - document browser wire-protocol minor-version compatibility: accept
          compatible older and newer clients without breaking base functionality.
        - remove the obsolete private stdio permission-result bridge from
          mcp-multibroker; use ordinary form elicitation.
        - add per-tab operation discovery and calls to mcp-webbrowser, with
          per-tab routing, ordinary MCP permissions and browser protocol 1.1;
          the userscript initially advertises no extra operations.
        - make the unsandboxed-warning test tolerate diagnostic output from
          non-GNU utility probes (FreeBSD and BusyBox).
        - add mcp-imap with one named password-authenticated account per instance,
          bounded UID search, MIME reads, explicit mailbox/message mutations,
          UIDPLUS-only targeted expunge, forked worker and MCP permissions.
        - propagate XPCSE save response ETags back to Vim session metadata;
          make stale upload HTTP status an editor error.
        - require GNU sed in worker tool discovery; report missing-Perl diagnostics in tests.
        - xpcse: forward Vim's :write! flag through mcp-vim to browser
          uploads, without changing upload behavior yet.
        - recommend rather than require WebSocket modules: only mcp-vim and
          mcp-webbrowser use them; mcp-vim loads them only for browser clients,
          and tests skip optional WebSocket coverage when unavailable.

0.65  Fri 23 Oct 2026 22:41:32 CEST
        - fix mcp-webbrowser userscript title indicator duplicating prefixes on empty titles.
        - use built scripts in make test PATH, avoiding source shebangs and
          accidentally installed helpers in rule management tests.
        - clarify browser execute code wrapper and reject function/symbol return
          values instead of silently converting them to null.
        - fix many bugs in the testsuite.

0.62  Thu 22 Oct 2026 13:32:52 CEST
        - INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: mcp_getoptions now returns a hash reference instead of
          a key/value list.
        - Simple accepts server_name/server_version independently of the local
          instance name, leaving server_info as an unmodified protocol override.
        - query multibroker children in parallel for tool and broker discovery,
          preserving tool order and returning partial results after 15 seconds
          instead of blocking on an unresponsive child.
        - accept a missing trailing slash on HTTP MCP endpoint URLs, working
          around Claude's MCP connector wrongly dropping it from the configured URL,
          thus corrupting it.
        - allow omitted ports in reverse extension URLs, defaulting to port 80.
        - fix MCP client/server version fields serialized as JSON numbers in 0.61.

0.61  Thu 22 Oct 2026 08:57:42 CEST
        - resolve bind hostnames via AnyEvent::Socket instead of Socket::getaddrinfo.
        - honor user-selected file permissions and preserve them across replacements.
        - fix permission test fixture grants.
        - fix activity log timestamp formatting on older perl versions.
        - correct multibroker test tool count (including meta-instructions).
        - fix perl 5.12 syntax errors in mcp-fs and mcp-vim.

0.6  Wed 21 Oct 2026 20:43:20 CEST
        - 34k LOC of pure llm madness. but seems to work. yay.

0.0  Sat 03 Oct 2026 07:29:39 CEST
        - original version, an AnyEvent::HTTP clone.

88	root	1.49	- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: due to the added user management, existing
89			url tokens have been invalidated.
90	root	1.54	- limit distribution permission normalization to its staging
91			directory, and supply proper CPAN author and abstract metadata.
92	root	1.52	- give shared command-line switches their own reference in
93			Server::Simple; use individually indexed POD items for executable
94			options and application-specific shared-option behavior.
95	root	1.51	- refresh the introductory guide and mcp-imap/mcp-http manuals
96			with first-use workflows, OAuth2 setup, mailbox/search examples
97			and reverse-TLS troubleshooting; correct stale retry documentation.
98	root	1.50	- extend mcp-imap SEARCH filters with recursive AND/OR/NOT, header,
99			text/body, date, size and flag criteria; use explicitly quoted
100			IMAP arguments and bounded filter complexity.
101			- capture deliberately triggered connection errors in test assertions,
102			avoiding noisy successful test runs.
103	root	1.49	- expose IMAP LSUB to inspect subscribed mailboxes, alongside
104			subscribe/unsubscribe; return the same format as LIST.
105			- remove superseded IMAP OAuth provider and pagination prototypes
106			and their obsolete reference tests.
107	root	1.51	- defer outgoing mail submission research (mcp-smtp or mcp-imap)
108			in TODO.md.
109	root	1.48	- retry reverse connections only for TCP connection refusal and
110			unexpected disconnects; report and stop on other TCP errors or
111			TLS handshake/verification failures.
112			- force scalar context when checking Mail::IMAPTalk results;
113			list context truncated LIST responses and could corrupt SEARCH
114			results. Test with context-sensitive IMAP mocks.
115			- report HTTPS reverse-connection handshake failures rather than
116			silently retrying; send credentials only after verified TLS succeeds.
117			- omit pointless mailbox permission dimension for mcp-imap mailboxes.
118			- clarify expected OAuth redirect error page and account selection.
119			- implement mcp-imap OAuth2 authorization-code login with PKCE,
120			human-pasted headless browser redirect, HTTPS token exchange,
121			refresh-token persistence/rotation and IMAP SASL XOAUTH2.
122			Keep interactive credentials outside MCP tools and argv.
123			- omit unnecessary shell quotes in mcp-imap providers commands.
124			- expand mcp-imap providers with Thunderbird ISPDB domain search,
125			provider-hosted HTTPS autoconfig lookup and ISPDB fallback,
126			password-based IMAP alternatives and provider setup instructions;
127			continue printing optional OAuth configuration without saving it.
128	root	1.47	- add per-downstream --hidden to mcp-multibroker, omitting a
129			server's tools from normal discovery while retaining explicit
130			list-tools, discover-brokers and call-tool access.
131	root	1.46	- number the user management test consecutively as t/27_users.t.
132	root	1.45	- tidy Perl import grouping, internal comments and source layout
133			in the command-line tools and library modules.
134			- stop imposing an IMAP account file mode check; access is governed
135			by ordinary filesystem permissions.
136	root	1.44	- use the permission engine's literal matching convention for exact
137			user identities and test positive permission-scope validation.
138			- reject invalid browser WebSocket credentials via the documented
139			handshake exception interface, producing one specific warning.
140			- apply the same handshake rejection handling to Vim WebSocket
141			connections, including peer and invalid-token/path warnings.
142			- document user-management scopes and URL examples in command help.
143	root	1.43	- add scoped, revocable MCP users with HKDF-derived credentials,
144			an implicit global default user, and atomic user management;
145			list effective user URLs with --print-url[=USER], also accepting
146			--print-urls, without binding the advertised listener port.
147			- associate HTTP credentials with per-request users, bind user
148			identity to persistent permissions and permission continuations,
149			and delegate original users through trusted multibrokers.
150			- select the effective connect_user (default: default) for reverse
151			MCP, private Vim and browser connections, independently of normal
152			authenticated HTTP tool calls.
153	root	1.42	- treat empty directory paths as "." in mcp-fs list, find, grep and
154			VCS cwd, without accepting empty filenames.
155	root	1.41	- support opportunistic HTTP/HTTPS and reverse MCP connections on the
156			same listener, TLS certificate/key CLI options, and dual URL discovery;
157			support verified HTTPS for outgoing reverse connections.
158	root	1.39	- treat idle HTTP disconnects as normal EOF while retaining errors
159			for clients disconnecting during request headers or bodies.
160			- identify failing MCP connections by client name, remote address
161			and connection id, including modern per-request client metadata.
162	root	1.38	- trace local multibroker prompt starts, outcomes and cancellations
163			with elapsed time to diagnose disappearing permission dialogs.
164			- use an 8 MiB default MCP message size across JSONL and HTTP
165			clients and servers, allowing large base64 tool requests through
166			mcp-multibroker; log server transport errors at warn level
167			instead of silently closing connections.
168	root	1.37	- load AnyEvent::Log at compile time so its format_time call is parsed
169			as a function, fixing activity logging on Perl 5.10.
170
171	root	1.36	0.71 Fri 30 Oct 2026 18:01:51 CET
172	root	1.35	- make multibroker-spawned children ask for permissions through MCP,
173			independently of the multibroker's own permission prompt mode.
174	root	1.36	- log VCS backend and a bounded, JSON-quoted preview of filenames for
175			vcs-diff, vcs-status and vcs-log.
176			- load only core modules in t/00_load.t; optional IMAP dependencies
177			are tested separately when available.
178			- let the fake bubblewrap test use the host temporary directory on
179			systems without /tmp (notably Termux).
180			- suppress Perl startup locale warnings in sandbox workers when
181			the requested C.UTF-8 locale is unavailable.
182			- canonicalize temporary test paths to match mcp-fs on systems with
183			symlinked temp directories; diagnose failing filesystem assertions.
184			- test SSE notification ordering at client delivery rather than
185			server enqueue time, avoiding a network scheduling race.
186			- diagnose failing multibroker HTTP integration tests with preflight
187			responses, RPC results and bounded server startup diagnostics.
188	root	1.35
189	root	1.34	0.7 Fri 30 Oct 2026 14:56:18 CET
190			- WARNING: mcp-imap is unfinished and has not been tested against a real IMAP server.
191			- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: rules have changed, old rules will be erased.
192			- declare the same license terms as Perl itself in distribution metadata.
193			- new mcp servers in this release: mcp-http
194			- accept optional dimension default matcher for persistent-rule prompts;
195	root	1.33	- clarify that mcp-fs exec has private /tmp by default; shared-tmp
196			exposes host /tmp and is not needed for ordinary temporary files or IPC.
197	root	1.32	- add mcp-fs vcs-log for Git, SVN, CVS and Mercurial, reusing bounded
198			output and dedicated permission actions; SVN log receives network
199			and SSH-agent grants alongside CVS operations.
200	root	1.31	mcp-webbrowser prefers any JavaScript in the current tab, while the
201			independent origin dimension remains scoped to the current origin.
202	root	1.30	- log mcp-http requests with their method and a sanitized URL preview;
203			identify mcp-http/$VERSION in User-Agent unless overridden by the caller.
204	root	1.31	Allow generic key=value context in the shared mcp_log_request formatter.
205	root	1.29	- silently treat invalid saved permission-rule files as empty, prompting
206			instead of aborting broker startup; subsequent saves replace the old file.
207	root	1.30	- add mcp-http for arbitrary HTTP methods with URL-scoped approvals,
208			caller-managed cookie jars, bounded bodies and text grep/regex/substitution.
209			Disable redirects, retries and proxies; verify HTTPS certificates.
210			- derive browser permission origins from reported URLs, not a new
211			userscript field; keep older browser clients able to execute with
212			origin-scoped permissions.
213			- accept compatible browser-protocol minor versions; return empty
214			operation discovery for 1.0 clients instead of disconnecting them.
215	root	1.29	Direct rule saves no longer perform semantic validation.
216	root	1.28	- replace special-case subject, origin and workdir permission scopes with
217			named dimensions: metadata-driven prompts, generic match.NAME rule keys,
218			and engine-enforced matcher choices. Reject old request and rule fields;
219			no conversion or backward-compatible rule loading.
220	root	1.27	- preserve selected origin scopes when external permission helpers
221			forward persistent decisions through native MCP elicitation.
222	root	1.26	- add origin-scoped MCP permission rules, selectable independently of
223	root	1.30	code/tab scopes; mcp-webbrowser derives browser origins for
224	root	1.26	JavaScript and tab operations, with exact, any-port and any-origin
225			choices. Existing rules without origins continue to match all origins.
226	root	1.25	- use POSIX::uname instead of nonportable hostname -f for the XPCSE
227			browser nickname, consistent with HTTP URL wildcard host selection.
228			- make form helper test run via explicit ./ path, avoid early HTTP
229			timer races, and test filesystem discovery with optional tools absent.
230	root	1.23	- report browser protocol rejections through bounded WebSocket close
231			reasons; show abnormal disconnects in the userscript console and toast.
232			- document browser wire-protocol minor-version compatibility: accept
233			compatible older and newer clients without breaking base functionality.
234			- remove the obsolete private stdio permission-result bridge from
235			mcp-multibroker; use ordinary form elicitation.
236	root	1.22	- add per-tab operation discovery and calls to mcp-webbrowser, with
237			per-tab routing, ordinary MCP permissions and browser protocol 1.1;
238			the userscript initially advertises no extra operations.
239			- make the unsandboxed-warning test tolerate diagnostic output from
240			non-GNU utility probes (FreeBSD and BusyBox).
241			- add mcp-imap with one named password-authenticated account per instance,
242			bounded UID search, MIME reads, explicit mailbox/message mutations,
243			UIDPLUS-only targeted expunge, forked worker and MCP permissions.
244	root	1.21	- propagate XPCSE save response ETags back to Vim session metadata;
245			make stale upload HTTP status an editor error.
246			- require GNU sed in worker tool discovery; report missing-Perl diagnostics in tests.
247	root	1.18	- xpcse: forward Vim's :write! flag through mcp-vim to browser
248			uploads, without changing upload behavior yet.
249	root	1.19	- recommend rather than require WebSocket modules: only mcp-vim and
250			mcp-webbrowser use them; mcp-vim loads them only for browser clients,
251			and tests skip optional WebSocket coverage when unavailable.
252	root	1.18
253	root	1.17	0.65 Fri 23 Oct 2026 22:41:32 CEST
254	root	1.14	- fix mcp-webbrowser userscript title indicator duplicating prefixes on empty titles.
255	root	1.17	- use built scripts in make test PATH, avoiding source shebangs and
256			accidentally installed helpers in rule management tests.
257	root	1.15	- clarify browser execute code wrapper and reject function/symbol return
258			values instead of silently converting them to null.
259	root	1.17	- fix many bugs in the testsuite.
260	root	1.13
261	root	1.12	0.62 Thu 22 Oct 2026 13:32:52 CEST
262	root	1.16	- INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: mcp_getoptions now returns a hash reference instead of
263			a key/value list.
264	root	1.11	- Simple accepts server_name/server_version independently of the local
265			instance name, leaving server_info as an unmodified protocol override.
266			- query multibroker children in parallel for tool and broker discovery,
267			preserving tool order and returning partial results after 15 seconds
268			instead of blocking on an unresponsive child.
269	root	1.8	- accept a missing trailing slash on HTTP MCP endpoint URLs, working
270	root	1.10	around Claude's MCP connector wrongly dropping it from the configured URL,
271	root	1.18	thus corrupting it.
272	root	1.7	- allow omitted ports in reverse extension URLs, defaulting to port 80.
273	root	1.9	- fix MCP client/server version fields serialized as JSON numbers in 0.61.
274	root	1.7
275	root	1.6	0.61 Thu 22 Oct 2026 08:57:42 CEST
276	root	1.5	- resolve bind hostnames via AnyEvent::Socket instead of Socket::getaddrinfo.
277	root	1.4	- honor user-selected file permissions and preserve them across replacements.
278			- fix permission test fixture grants.
279			- fix activity log timestamp formatting on older perl versions.
280			- correct multibroker test tool count (including meta-instructions).
281			- fix perl 5.12 syntax errors in mcp-fs and mcp-vim.
282
283	root	1.3	0.6 Wed 21 Oct 2026 20:43:20 CEST
284	root	1.2	- 34k LOC of pure llm madness. but seems to work. yay.
285	root	1.1
286			0.0 Sat 03 Oct 2026 07:29:39 CEST
287			- original version, an AnyEvent::HTTP clone.
