Changelog#

Notable changes per release, condensed. The repository's CHANGELOG.md is the full log and the gate: a release tag cannot ship without a matching section there. bite follows Keep a Changelog and semantic versioning.

v0.5.0 — 2026-10-22#

Scoped, durable index purges and safer replay semantics:

  • index_forget — scoped purge of local index rows (preview first, confirm to execute), durable across re-crawls via recorded tombstones; index_status lists scopes, index_wipe clears them with the rest.
  • bite index forget — the CLI surface for the same purge (--yes to execute).
  • no_body — declared on index_rebuild (+ CLI --no-body): mail metadata only, bodies never stored.
  • Safer helper-death replays — read-only tools retry transparently after a helper death; mutating tools return an explicit not-replayed error instead of risking a double-send. A new helper_exited_unsent error distinguishes requests that provably never reached the helper.
  • Data-dir privacy at every startup — not only bite setup; closes the crawl-first gap (directories created 0700 up front, batches/, quarantine/ and the store tightened).
  • Concurrent MCP dispatch — each request on its own thread; a slow Apple Events round-trip no longer stalls pipelined traffic.
  • A docs-conformance test fence: the registry and docs/protocol.md cannot drift again; dependency bumps including rustls-webpki for RUSTSEC-2026-0382.

v0.4.0 — 2026-10-18#

The index grows up:

  • Incremental mail crawl — subsequent crawls process only the delta window since the last completed run.
  • bite doctor --json — machine-readable diagnostics.
  • OSA port — the Mail crawl transport moved to NSAppleScript; the raw AppleEvents path is broken on macOS 27.
  • Perf — one-scan index stats, column-projected search, skip-count option (skip_count) on index-served mail searches; newest-first filter-only results (BM25 keeps full-text).
  • Hardening — wedged-helper recycling with a BITE_TIMEOUT_SECS override, toolchain resolution from secure paths only, supply-chain lanes (cargo-audit, cargo-deny), CI actions pinned to SHAs, search limits capped at 200.

v0.3.0 — 2026-09-23#

The entity index lands: LanceDB-backed unified search, bulk operations, and the detached crawl process with staged-batch ingestion.

v0.1.1 — 2026-09-22#

SBApplication.timeout is in ticks, not seconds — Mail AppleEvents timeouts were effectively instantaneous. Fixed.

v0.1.0 — 2026-09-21#

Initial public release: native Apple app access over MCP — Rust control plane, Swift helpers, Mail first. Source-only releases; prebuilt/notarized binaries deliberately deferred (roadmap).
