Changelog

Notable user-facing changes to Mesurer Solid are recorded here. Add upcoming changes under Unreleased; the release workflow moves them into the versioned section when it prepares a release PR.

Unreleased

0.2.1 - 2026-10-03

Keep toolbar Settings, Guide, Edit, and plugin menus above the Recording preview, and match upstream's floating-menu hairline, dark-theme shadow, and corner polish.
Flatten transparent native Screenshot captures against the renderer backdrop so macOS vibrancy and transparent sidebars no longer produce white thumbnails or faded saved images.
Restore the Select interaction layer's exact inline hit-testing state after Recording, so Screenshot previews remain clickable after a finished video is dismissed.
Keep Rulers, Guides, and Layout Guides available in Edit instead of treating them as Select-only tools.
Release the Screenshot selection overlay before showing the captured thumbnail, so the first preview is immediately clickable and dismissible.
Pre-promote the Screenshot thumbnail for transform/opacity dismissal so its first close animation is as smooth as later ones.
Add a visible accent outline around the active Recording region so the capture boundary stays clear on dark pages.
Make the Screenshot preview close button easier to hit and animate the thumbnail out through the right edge before dismissing it.
Let plugin rows with nested settings expand from the full row area left of the enable toggle, not only from the chevron.
Give Recording timeline timestamps enough room, inset the scrub track, and enlarge the trim chevrons so the controls no longer overlap.
Make the Recording discard animation transform-only for smoother compositing.
Clear the finished discard animation before cleanup so recording another clip immediately shows a fresh preview.
Keep the selected Recording region visually clear while the rest of the page stays dimmed for the full capture lifecycle, with Stop/time remaining above the mask.
Animate the Recording editor out toward the Recording toolbar control when its close button discards the clip.
Move trim controls above the scrub rail with inward chevrons so trimming no longer blocks normal timeline scrubbing.
Keep Screenshot, Recording, Guides, Layout Guides, and Rulers visible in compact Select mode.
Remove the extra descriptive paragraphs beneath Recording and Codex in Settings; plugin rows stay compact unless copy is explicitly needed.
Keep the selected-region dimming stable when Recording starts. Pressing Start now swaps the selection controls for the Stop/timer chrome without briefly revealing the undimmed page while capture initializes.
Record video at 60 fps by default. Recording settings can opt into 120 fps, and browser, extension, and Electron capture paths request the selected rate when the source supports it.
Keep the Select interaction overlay pointer-transparent for the full active Recording lifecycle. The Electron acceptance now enables the real Select mode before sending a native click through the recorded region, matching the manual workflow that exposed the beta.8 regression.
Remove the unintended backing plate behind the Select/Edit mode switch; only the active mode pill now carries a fill.
Keep the live Recording timer/Stop chrome above the selection mask and toolbar, avoid toolbar collisions when placing it, and keep the post-recording editor centered while its 352px↔576px size animates.
Add mesurer-solid/electron as the preferred Electron Recording bootstrap. A single main-process import now installs Mesurer's private session preload and renderer-bound capture bridge, so normal Electron apps no longer add Recording IPC or preload wiring themselves.
Align the post-recording editor with current upstream Mesurer: a single trim/playhead timeline, compact Play/Pause, export-options menu with format and 1×/2×/3× output sizes, Download, hover Close, and 352px→576px grow/shrink behavior.
Keep Recording editor surfaces synchronized with Settings → General → Appearance and cover both Light and Dark through the real persisted theme path.
Keep the inspected application fully interactive while Recording is active instead of letting an invisible full-screen Recording layer consume page input.
Keep the default top-layer Mesurer island itself pointer-transparent. The manual-popover host remains above hostile page stacking contexts, while only actual Mesurer controls opt into pointer input instead of the island swallowing native Electron clicks across the application.
Match upstream Recording selection flow: dragging chooses a region first, then an adjustment step supports move, eight-handle resize, numeric size/position edits, Enter confirmation, and an explicit Start recording action.
Restore the Mesurer toolbar once capture begins and use a compact recording status surface with a red indicator, elapsed timer, and Stop action.
Expand Recording acceptance so both real Chromium and packed Electron must deliver actual host-page pointer input while capture is running.
Fix Recording in Electron/native hosts. Applications can expose the narrow window.__MESURER_HOST__.captureRecordingStream capability so Recording captures the current renderer instead of falling into unsupported browser display capture.
Publish package-owned Electron main/preload helpers at mesurer-solid/plugins/recording/bridge and mesurer-solid/plugins/recording/preload. The main helper issues a short-lived WebContents media source id bound to the requesting renderer; MediaBunny remains the only recording and export pipeline.
Expand the packed Electron acceptance to start a real region recording, mutate the captured renderer, finalize/export WebM, and retain recording.webm as repeatable evidence.
Add first-party selected-region Recording with recording(), Shift+R, the typed recording:v1 service, a trim/playback/export editor, configurable frame rate/quality/duration, and MediaBunny-owned WebM/MP4 export with 1×/2×/3× scaling.
Keep video acquisition separate from encoding. Browser pages use the display-capture path; the Chromium extension can supply a one-use current-tab stream through tabCapture, while MediaBunny remains the sole encoder, inspector, trimmer, resizer, converter, and exporter. Recording does not use MediaRecorder or an offscreen recorder.
Keep MediaBunny 1.59.0 on its MPL-2.0 distribution boundary. Published ESM files import a separate mediabunny-runtime.js by relative path so consumer installs do not inherit MediaBunny's ambient WebCodecs types; raw classic injection and the extension load mediabunny-vendor.js. Both artifacts ship beside the full MediaBunny license.
Make Edit selection drill-down work inside selected parents. Descendants keep normal hover feedback, a stationary click can replace the parent selection with the nested target, and a 4px movement threshold keeps real drags owned by the selected Edit box.
Let repeated Select clicks at the same rendered point cycle through nested and overlapping page targets while preserving Mesurer Solid's pointer-transparent, Shadow DOM, and scoped page-target hit testing.
Make the Select/Edit switch own Edit directly. The Edit half now uses the movement glyph, toggles Edit both on and off, and carries the Edit options chevron; the duplicate in-mode edit-action button is removed.
Show hover bounds for other selectable elements while Edit already has a selection. Hover remains suppressed inside an already-selected subtree so nested content does not look independently selected.
Restore Select to its pre-Edit state. If Select was off before Edit enabled it for internal targeting, leaving Edit turns Select back off.
Make Codex Settings activation transactional. Codex starts enabled only when a native host capability exists. An ON request must acquire a native lease and prove transport readiness before the plugin becomes enabled; failures keep the switch off and show the activation error in Settings.
Make Codex disable wait for native lease release. The Electron host adapter binds leases to one renderer, validates callers, and releases renderer-owned leases on navigation, renderer exit, or destruction without stopping Codex's shared daemon.
Publish package-owned Electron host and preload adapters for Codex. Secure sandboxed preloads can bundle mesurer-solid/plugins/codex/preload instead of duplicating IPC channel code.
Keep inherited Codex Desktop queue receipts visible after durable acceptance. The receipt includes the queued-submission id and does not claim a private Working or Finished state.
Keep Select and Edit tool state separate. Entering Edit now suspends active Select tools such as X-ray, Rulers, Typography, and Guides, while Edit keeps its internal Select targeting dependency; returning to Select restores the previous stable Select-mode state.
Make the Edit movement control a real active split button. Its main icon reflects and toggles Edit, while the separate chevron opens snapping and alignment options.
Report a missing Electron Codex host connection directly as Codex host not connected, and explain the preload requirement in Settings instead of leaving a generic disabled Codex action.
Finish the Select/Edit terminology pass across the basic example, renderer and host documentation, runtime diagnostics, and browser-test messages. Root declarations now expose MesurerEditHarness and the canonical Edit* aliases while retaining the existing Arrange compatibility identifiers and APIs.
Add Select and Edit toolbar modes using the current upstream grouped-mode styling and icons with Mesurer Solid's 150 ms motion. Select keeps inspection tools such as Typography, while Edit owns element movement and direct text/style changes. Context and Codex stay visible in both modes. The public edit() plugin name is canonical, while existing Arrange ids, services, persistence, shortcuts, and agent methods remain compatible.

Keep Recording editor surfaces synchronized with Settings → General → Appearance and cover both Light and Dark through the real persisted theme path.

0.2.1-beta.6 - 2026-10-02

Publish package-owned Electron main/preload helpers at mesurer-solid/plugins/recording/bridge and mesurer-solid/plugins/recording/preload. The main helper issues a short-lived WebContents media source id bound to the requesting renderer; MediaBunny remains the only recording and export pipeline.
Expand the packed Electron acceptance to start a real region recording, mutate the captured renderer, finalize/export WebM, and retain recording.webm as repeatable evidence.

Keep inherited Codex Desktop queue receipts visible after durable acceptance. The receipt includes the queued-submission id and does not claim a private Working or Finished state.

0.2.1-beta.1 - 2026-09-30

Keep Select and Edit tool state separate. Entering Edit now suspends active Select tools such as X-ray, Rulers, Typography, and Guides, while Edit keeps its internal Select targeting dependency; returning to Select restores the previous stable Select-mode state.
Make the Edit movement control a real active split button. Its main icon reflects and toggles Edit, while the separate chevron opens snapping and alignment options.
Report a missing Electron Codex host connection directly as Codex host not connected, and explain the preload requirement in Settings instead of leaving a generic disabled Codex action.
Finish the Select/Edit terminology pass across the basic example, renderer and host documentation, runtime diagnostics, and browser-test messages. Root declarations now expose MesurerEditHarness and the canonical Edit* aliases while retaining the existing Arrange compatibility identifiers and APIs.

0.2.1-beta.0 - 2026-09-30

Add Select and Edit toolbar modes using the current upstream grouped-mode styling and icons with Mesurer Solid's 150 ms motion. Select keeps inspection tools such as Typography, while Edit owns element movement and direct text/style changes. Context and Codex stay visible in both modes. The public edit() plugin name is canonical, while existing Arrange ids, services, persistence, shortcuts, and agent methods remain compatible.

0.2.0 - 2026-09-29

Resolve pointer-transparent sibling overlays by the browser's actual paint order. Select and agent point inspection now agree on transparent text and SVG overlays, preserve native targets painted above them, and respect clipping and stacking.
Keep an explicitly closed Chromium-extension session closed when navigation races the background worker's session-state restore. Pending tab state now wins over stale storage reads, and writes are serialized.
Keep arranged text in its moved position while editing or committing copy. Arrange now keeps ownership of the exact live element it moved even when that element's text changes, while reload and replacement rebinding remain conservative.
Keep Codex enabled by default and move all Codex implementation under the Codex plugin. The native Codex Bridge now runs in the application host process, talks directly to Codex's shared app-server, and queues through thread/queue/add.
Remove the separate Mesurer Codex server, bridge port, helper Electron process, marketplace/hooks setup, client leases, and package-relative bridge bootstrap. Electron package smoke now bundles main to CommonJS with esbuild before launch to cover real bundled-host integration.
Keep Codex delivery runtime-neutral for callers. The Codex plugin classifies shared, standalone, and Desktop transports behind the same service. It never installs Codex and never uses a Desktop-bundled executable to bootstrap the shared daemon. Packed runtime smoke retains JSON evidence for runtime selection and standalone daemon startup.
Restore zero-setup delivery to the exact Codex Desktop thread that launched the host application. When Desktop ownership is inherited, the Codex plugin queues once through Codex's native queue command and wakes the same thread with its codex:// deep link. Mesurer never connects to Desktop's private app-tools pipe, never starts a second Mesurer bridge, and never uses the Desktop executable to bootstrap a daemon.
Keep nested Arrange selections together across repeated moves. A descendant now keeps its own adjustment relative to an arranged ancestor, so selecting a child after moving its parent no longer makes that child jump, counter-move, or detach on later parent drags.
Keep Arrange multi-drag frame-locked on pages that use CSS transitions such as transition-all. Arrange now suppresses host transitions only while it owns a temporary transform, so selected elements stop at pointer release instead of easing to different positions afterward.
Fix Arrange multi-selection when selected elements are nested. Parent and child targets now move by the same rendered delta instead of applying the drag twice to the child.
Let Shift-click extend or reduce a Select/Arrange multi-selection through the Arrange group box. Shift-drag on an already selected target still locks movement to the dominant axis.
Make Escape progressive for Select and Arrange. The first press clears the current selection and keeps the selection tool active. A second press with nothing selected exits Select, or exits both Arrange and its dependent Select.
Add a compact Reset position control for each moved Arrange target and a Reset all positions action to the Arrange menu. Resets remove the saved position intent for the current page and participate in Arrange history.
Keep Arrange active when Escape clears the current target. While Arrange has a selection, Select hover chrome stays hidden so nested page elements do not look simultaneously selected. Pressing Escape again with no selection still exits Arrange.
Keep the Mesurer toolbar below the native macOS Electron titlebar area across the full window width. Dragging and saved positions can no longer place toolbar controls where macOS treats pointer input as window movement.
Keep standalone Typography inspection from looking or clicking through its own visible card into host text underneath it. Hovering the card now preserves the current inspection instead of spawning or pinning overlapping inspections behind the card.
Keep standalone Typography hover inspection from looking through pinned Mesurer Typography cards into page text underneath them. Pointer movement and clicks on Typography UI now stay owned by Mesurer until the pointer leaves the card.
Prevent the Mesurer toolbar from being dragged under the native macOS close, minimize, and full-screen controls in Electron. Unsafe saved positions are moved out of that control area on the next mount, while positions elsewhere remain unchanged.
Keep the default Mesurer toolbar clear of the native macOS window controls in Electron renderers. Browser defaults and user-saved toolbar positions stay unchanged.
Keep persisted Context annotations connected after reload when their saved selector still uniquely identifies the same compatible target, even if the host contains other matching elements of the same tag such as multiple editor canvases.
Keep saved Context annotations connected across renderer reloads when a framework changes non-identity classes but the unique structural target and rendered geometry remain stable. Review also stops treating the transient Select measurement box as missing durable evidence when the annotated target itself reconnects.
Keep Color Picker inside native application hosts that expose window.__MESURER_HOST__.captureScreenshot: Mesurer now samples the current renderer window with one host capture after the user clicks, maps CSS coordinates to the returned PNG dimensions for HiDPI displays, and keeps browser EyeDropper as the fallback when no host capture capability exists.
Remove the Color Picker's permanent animation-frame positioning loop and 500 ms capability poll. Positioning and capability checks now run from relevant state, resize, focus, visibility, and toolbar events instead of waking an idle Electron renderer continuously.
Expand the packed Electron package smoke to verify application-local Color Picker sampling, zero native EyeDropper calls on the host-capture path, exact host capture count, native Screenshot capture, and isolated renderer security settings.

0.2.0-beta.14 - 2026-09-29

Keep arranged text in its moved position while editing or committing copy. Arrange now keeps ownership of the exact live element it moved even when that element's text changes, while reload and replacement rebinding remain conservative.

0.2.0-beta.13 - 2026-09-28

Keep Codex enabled by default and move all Codex implementation under the Codex plugin. The native Codex Bridge now runs in the application host process, talks directly to Codex's shared app-server, and queues through thread/queue/add.
Remove the separate Mesurer Codex server, bridge port, helper Electron process, marketplace/hooks setup, client leases, and package-relative bridge bootstrap. Electron package smoke now bundles main to CommonJS with esbuild before launch to cover real bundled-host integration.

0.2.0-beta.10 - 2026-09-26

Fix Arrange multi-selection when selected elements are nested. Parent and child targets now move by the same rendered delta instead of applying the drag twice to the child.
Let Shift-click extend or reduce a Select/Arrange multi-selection through the Arrange group box. Shift-drag on an already selected target still locks movement to the dominant axis.

0.2.0-beta.9 - 2026-09-26

Make Escape progressive for Select and Arrange. The first press clears the current selection and keeps the selection tool active. A second press with nothing selected exits Select, or exits both Arrange and its dependent Select.
Add a compact Reset position control for each moved Arrange target and a Reset all positions action to the Arrange menu. Resets remove the saved position intent for the current page and participate in Arrange history.

0.2.0-beta.8 - 2026-09-26

Keep Arrange active when Escape clears the current target. While Arrange has a selection, Select hover chrome stays hidden so nested page elements do not look simultaneously selected. Pressing Escape again with no selection still exits Arrange.

0.2.0-beta.7 - 2026-09-26

Keep the Mesurer toolbar below the native macOS Electron titlebar area across the full window width. Dragging and saved positions can no longer place toolbar controls where macOS treats pointer input as window movement.

0.2.0-beta.6 - 2026-09-26

0.2.0-beta.5 - 2026-09-26

0.2.0-beta.2 - 2026-09-26

Keep persisted Context annotations connected after reload when their saved selector still uniquely identifies the same compatible target, even if the host contains other matching elements of the same tag such as multiple editor canvases.

0.2.0-beta.1 - 2026-09-25

Keep saved Context annotations connected across renderer reloads when a framework changes non-identity classes but the unique structural target and rendered geometry remain stable. Review also stops treating the transient Select measurement box as missing durable evidence when the annotated target itself reconnects.

0.2.0-beta.0 - 2026-09-25

Keep Color Picker inside native application hosts that expose window.__MESURER_HOST__.captureScreenshot: Mesurer now samples the current renderer window with one host capture after the user clicks, maps CSS coordinates to the returned PNG dimensions for HiDPI displays, and keeps browser EyeDropper as the fallback when no host capture capability exists.

Expand the packed Electron package smoke to verify application-local Color Picker sampling, zero native EyeDropper calls on the host-capture path, exact host capture count, native Screenshot capture, and isolated renderer security settings.

0.1.9 - 2026-09-24

Match current React Select lifecycle: invoking Select now clears the current element/Guide selection before toggling the tool, so turning Select off cannot leave latent selection that reappears later. Browser acceptance now covers Select-off persistence, physical Shift-click multi-selection, and exact native Color Picker clipboard output.
Fix Guide-to-element distance measurement to use the exact zero-thickness Guide coordinate instead of a one-pixel rectangle, while preserving the visible Guide hit target. Browser coverage now verifies exact vertical and horizontal distances.
Deepen the main mountMesurer() interface without adding another factory: ready now resolves the live plugin host after startup, describe() waits for readiness, signal can own disposal, readonly plugin arrays are accepted, and excludeBuiltins uses public names such as typography and colorPicker. The lower-level createMesurerRuntime() also accepts readonly plugin lists and disposes partial startup on failure. Keep excludePlugins and onPluginsReady as compatibility surfaces, and preserve falsy values returned by service<T>().
Match Layout Guides to the audited current React Mesurer component, including menu size, control fields, spacing, icon strokes, editor states, first-open default guide creation, and separate panel/overlay visibility. A focused browser parity job now compares the current component directly while the existing historical renderer parity suite remains unchanged.
Make Screenshot choose its capture path internally. Electron/native hosts can expose window.__MESURER_HOST__.captureScreenshot, the Chromium extension keeps its private adapter, and ordinary browser pages fall back to getDisplayMedia(). Renderer usage stays screenshot(). Existing provider and low-level helpers remain only for compatibility. Package smoke now runs the packed artifact in Electron 43 with context isolation and sandboxing enabled, node integration disabled, and a packaged file:// renderer.
Fix the root bun run dev path under Vite 8 by removing JSX comma expressions from Layout Guides. CI now starts the root dev command and loads layout-guides.html so dependency-scan and pre-transform failures cannot pass unnoticed.
Add first-party Layout Guides as layoutGuides(): columns, rows, and pixel grids are plugin-owned, page-scoped, undoable through the existing command/history path, available through MesurerLayoutGuidesService, and included in Context evidence.
Scope default persisted workspace state to the current route so page-owned guides, selections, measurements, and annotations do not leak across in-tab navigation. Keep toolbar placement as tab-session UI and restore it across route changes and reloads.
Restore explicitly opened Chromium-extension sessions after reload or eligible in-tab navigation while retaining activeTab instead of requesting persistent site access. Recovery stops when the browser no longer grants access and resumes only after another explicit action click.
Remount extension-owned Mesurer when page DOM replacement disconnects its injected host, while keeping disconnected-host recovery opt-in for general programmatic injection.
Refine measurement geometry with shared-overlap anchors, true guide-line-to-box distances, and padding-box container spacing while retaining Mesurer Solid's multi-selection and diagonal evidence model.
Improve Inspect hit testing for pointer-transparent visual descendants and overlapping targets, and treat SVG elements as first-class Select, point-inspection, Context, and annotation targets.
Keep toolbar dragging separate from menu/dialog/form interaction: trigger drags close their open transient surface only after drag starts, while Guide menu state is exposed through aria-expanded.
Add persisted System, Light, and Dark appearance modes through Settings and the public theme mount option. The active theme now follows Mesurer UI across the isolated renderer, document-backed Context and Typography, direct editing, and portaled selection chrome.
Add a design-review contract for new Mesurer-owned UI, using current upstream floating-surface, control, density, motion, and ownership language without restyling accepted existing surfaces by default.
Let plugin commands return JSON-safe values through the core host and browser-agent command API instead of discarding handler results.
Add MountedMesurer.service<T>(id) for typed optional-plugin capabilities, make Codex queue() / codex.queue the canonical delivery API, and retain send() / codex.send as compatibility aliases.

0.1.9-beta.2 - 2026-09-24

Match current React Select lifecycle: invoking Select now clears the current element/Guide selection before toggling the tool, so turning Select off cannot leave latent selection that reappears later. Browser acceptance now covers Select-off persistence, physical Shift-click multi-selection, and exact native Color Picker clipboard output.

0.1.9-beta.1 - 2026-09-24

Fix Guide-to-element distance measurement to use the exact zero-thickness Guide coordinate instead of a one-pixel rectangle, while preserving the visible Guide hit target. Browser coverage now verifies exact vertical and horizontal distances.
Deepen the main mountMesurer() interface without adding another factory: ready now resolves the live plugin host after startup, describe() waits for readiness, signal can own disposal, readonly plugin arrays are accepted, and excludeBuiltins uses public names such as typography and colorPicker.

A focused browser parity job now compares the current component directly while the existing historical renderer parity suite remains unchanged.
Make Screenshot choose its capture path internally. Electron/native hosts can expose window.__MESURER_HOST__.captureScreenshot, the Chromium extension keeps its private adapter, and ordinary browser pages fall back to getDisplayMedia(). Renderer usage stays screenshot(). Existing provider and low-level helpers remain only for compatibility. Package smoke now runs the packed artifact in Electron 43 with context isolation and sandboxing enabled, node integration disabled, and a packaged file:// renderer.
Fix the root bun run dev path under Vite 8 by removing JSX comma expressions from Layout Guides. CI now starts the root dev command and loads layout-guides.html so dependency-scan and pre-transform failures cannot pass unnoticed.
Add first-party Layout Guides as layoutGuides(): columns, rows, and pixel grids are plugin-owned, page-scoped, undoable through the existing command/history path, available through MesurerLayoutGuidesService, and included in Context evidence.
Scope default persisted workspace state to the current route so page-owned guides, selections, measurements, and annotations do not leak across in-tab navigation. Keep toolbar placement as tab-session UI and restore it across route changes and reloads.
Restore explicitly opened Chromium-extension sessions after reload or eligible in-tab navigation while retaining activeTab instead of requesting persistent site access. Recovery stops when the browser no longer grants access and resumes only after another explicit action click.
Remount extension-owned Mesurer when page DOM replacement disconnects its injected host, while keeping disconnected-host recovery opt-in for general programmatic injection.
Refine measurement geometry with shared-overlap anchors, true guide-line-to-box distances, and padding-box container spacing while retaining Mesurer Solid's multi-selection and diagonal evidence model.
Improve Inspect hit testing for pointer-transparent visual descendants and overlapping targets, and treat SVG elements as first-class Select, point-inspection, Context, and annotation targets.
Keep toolbar dragging separate from menu/dialog/form interaction: trigger drags close their open transient surface only after drag starts, while Guide menu state is exposed through aria-expanded.
Add persisted System, Light, and Dark appearance modes through Settings and the public theme mount option. The active theme now follows Mesurer UI across the isolated renderer, document-backed Context and Typography, direct editing, and portaled selection chrome.
Add a design-review contract for new Mesurer-owned UI, using current upstream floating-surface, control, density, motion, and ownership language without restyling accepted existing surfaces by default.
Let plugin commands return JSON-safe values through the core host and browser-agent command API instead of discarding handler results.
Add MountedMesurer.service<T>(id) for typed optional-plugin capabilities, make Codex queue() / codex.queue the canonical delivery API, and retain send() / codex.send as compatibility aliases.

0.1.8 - 2026-09-21

Keep mixed-inline direct text editing on Mesurer-owned target state instead of redefining host childNodes, so text runs around inline children remain editable while native NodeList behavior and child identity stay intact.
Show the same Mesurer Solid hero image on the npm package page and GitHub README by using the repository-backed image URL.
Keep Queue to Codex on Codex's native durable queue for every client. Desktop ownership now uses codex://threads/<threadId> to load or resume the real app-owned thread, so delivery no longer depends on the codex_app MCP pipe; existing queued-submission ids are preserved across bridge restarts and recovery instead of being deleted and resent.
Preserve saved Context annotations across same-tab reloads, restore their exact ids/baselines, and conservatively rebind element targets from stored selector/fingerprint identity instead of losing review state when the page refreshes.
Preserve page-local Codex routing across browser reloads with per-tab affinity state, refuse to inherit a bridge-wide default when multiple registered threads make the destination ambiguous, and resume exact queued/working delivery tracking after reload so annotation completion cleanup is not lost.
Add tracked Queue to Codex lifecycle feedback: disable the action before submission to suppress double-click duplicates, show Queueing/Queued/Working/Finished or Interrupted states in the tool and destination row, correlate the exact queued prompt with bounded Codex history, reject synthetic unfinished Interrupt states produced by separate history readers, keep Interrupted deliveries reconcilable for backend corrections, and remove only the annotations included in a successfully completed turn by default.
Keep generic plugin split menus inside the browser viewport: choose the side with usable space, clamp horizontal placement, widen for long labels up to a bounded desktop width, keep selected rows filling the menu, prevent horizontal scrolling, and make tall destination lists scroll vertically instead of extending off-screen.
Rename the human Codex action to Queue to Codex, return delivery: "queued" from programmatic delivery, and document Queue versus in-flight Steer semantics instead of implying that Mesurer interrupts an active Codex turn.
Add a Codex destination picker that keeps each Mesurer page pinned to the Codex thread that originally connected it, then shows five recent same-project Codex threads from app-server with one Show 5 more… expansion to ten.
Make Queue to Codex health- and CSP-aware: mounting codex() does not probe loopback, the first send or thread chooser establishes availability, a missing bridge becomes Codex unavailable with an explicit retry, and successful connections continue health-checking for automatic recovery; the trusted SessionStart connector records the project directory used to scope recent-thread discovery.
Consolidate first-party plugin factories under mesurer-solid/plugins with concise feature names such as context(), arrange(), screenshot(), and codex(), and remove the redundant public *Plugin factory names and one-plugin-per-subpath exports.
Add optional Send to Codex delivery that can auto-bind to the Codex thread that starts the bridge through CODEX_THREAD_ID, register later existing or newly-created Codex threads locally, switch among registered destinations, and send saved Context, selection evidence, or workspace Context through Codex's queued-user-message command.
Keep Context annotations attached to their page targets through window and nested scrolling. Add Note, the composer, saved markers and panels, and the ownership edge move with their source without one-frame catch-up; saved panels keep their page-relative point and multiple notes stay local to the target.
Keep Add Note available while an existing note is open, allow repeated notes on the same selected element, and keep annotation ownership to one clean exact-bound edge without duplicate selection or ghost paint.
Keep Select hover and selection evidence below Context cards and fixed Mesurer chrome, including non-isolated browser top-layer hosts, so blue page evidence cannot paint through the new-note composer or a saved annotation card.

0.1.7 - 2026-09-15

Keep Add Note and saved annotation cards above live page selection/hover chrome. The transient Add Note composer now belongs to the selection that opened it, so selecting another element closes the composer and restores the small Add Note trigger for the new target instead of moving the open card.
Keep custom Typography select popups attached to their trigger while the Typography card scrolls internally, without adding work back to the direct-edit window-scroll hot path.
Keep direct text editing as the single visible selection owner: parent → child re-entry no longer leaves duplicate selection chrome, the dimensions pill stays clear of Typography with symmetric 2px / 2px rendered spacing, and Typography continues to follow its source fully offscreen and back.
Keep Typography visually stable during ordinary pointer movement and preserve the zero-layout/query direct-edit window-scroll hot path, eliminating the cursor-move jitter and scroll catch-up found during real-consumer testing.
Hide the transient Add Note annotation button while direct text editing is active so it cannot overlap the dimensions pill, then restore it automatically when editing ends; existing saved annotation markers and panels remain available.
Keep live Select hover outlines below the active document-backed Typography inspector during direct text editing, while ordinary Select hover retains its protected top-layer ownership.
Keep Typography inspector cards above selected page outlines and measurement labels when their document-layer geometry overlaps, matching the toolbar's protected paint and hit ownership without moving either surface.
Keep the toolbar at the user's chosen viewport position when selected page content moves underneath it. Mesurer no longer automatically shifts the toolbar to another edge to avoid the selected target; toolbar stacking and hit ownership still remain above page selection chrome.
Keep selection, direct-edit Typography, and annotation chrome attached to their page targets through window and nested scrolling without scroll catch-up, while Mesurer inspector/toolbar surfaces remain hard interaction boundaries that occlude page selection chrome instead of being selected through.
Add persisted Keep text changes and Keep Arrange changes controls under Settings → General. Both default off, so saved Desired intent remains available in its owning tool while Select and other tools show the original page presentation unless the corresponding control is enabled.
Keep Context, Arrange, and Screenshot discoverable as optional Settings plugins, keep compact Settings inside the viewport as the toolbar resizes, and preserve toolbar clearance/stacking over selected page chrome.
Keep plugin-owned persisted settings durable across immediate page reload/navigation, including the default mesurer-plugin-settings namespace used when no persistKey is provided.
Keep direct text editing visually anchored to the rendered host element: the keyboard textarea stays transparent at the host's exact bounds, a subtle inset ring marks edit state, the initially selected text is visibly highlighted for immediate replacement, a blinking caret follows collapsed selections, and text runs around inline markup such as shortcut badges remain editable without flattening those children.
Unify contextual Typography information and direct formatting into one always-visible interactive inspector. Family, Size, Weight, Line, and Tracking become live controls alongside Bold/Italic/Underline, rendered-page and custom colors, and Text/Heading presets; the old second floating text toolbar/menu no longer renders as a competing surface, and the unified inspector repositions or constrains itself within available viewport space rather than covering the active edit field.
Keep selected and inspected element chrome locked to its host while scrolling instead of easing or catching up after the page moves; direct-edit rings follow the same frame-locked geometry.
Add a persisted global Shortcuts switch under Settings → General, defaulting on and available as shortcutsEnabled. Turning it off gates built-in and plugin shortcuts while leaving toolbar controls, editor-local keys, and Escape/cancel behavior available.
Add one stable compactable toolbar with full-height separators and 150ms reduced-motion-aware transitions. Compact mode hides inactive controls while keeping every active tool visible, and expanding restores the same order and state without introducing toolbar modes.
Tighten Arrange and Typography interaction: Arrange can be activated before Select and enables it automatically; turning Arrange off leaves Select active while turning Select off exits Arrange; direct text editing shows one live Typography card even when Typography was already selected.
Make preview ownership safe across history and teardown. Text/style undo and redo now update still-owned Desired values without overwriting host changes, inherited contenteditable regions remain native with nested contenteditable="false" boundaries respected, Arrange preserves host-authored transform updates, and async plugin setup is cancelled cleanly without disposing unrelated plugins on shared hosts.

0.1.6 - 2026-09-06

Add framework-neutral Context inspection through window.__MESURER__.context(...) and contextText(...), backed by pure @jhomra21/mesurer-solid-dom extractors rather than framework-specific internals.
Expose Context selection through window.__MESURER__.select(...) for stable browser-driven agent workflows.
Add first-class saved Context annotations: with Select + Context enabled, Add Note opens a source-attached note composer and saved notes persist as numbered page markers with one open card; window.__MESURER__.context({ annotation }) returns the note plus current target connectivity/geometry and baseline/current UI evidence.
Add plugin-neutral annotation access through window.__MESURER__.annotations(), plus context({ annotation }), contextText({ annotation }), and annotation capture planning so coding agents can discover, read, and screenshot human review notes without renderer-private selectors.
Add Context review classification through window.__MESURER__.review() with explicit pass, review, and stale states, including per-item displacement/resizing diagnostics relative to the saved baseline.
Add native screenshot capture plans through window.__MESURER__.capturePlan(...), prepareCapture(...), and finishCapture(): region, target, viewport, and full-page plans use CSS-pixel clipping metadata while capture prep hides Mesurer UI without mutating the host page.
Add generic runtime read surfaces through window.__MESURER__.describe(), state(), commands(), plugins(), and review() so browser agents can inspect plugin state without relying on renderer-private DOM.
Add packages/mesurer-browser-fixture plus scripts/browser-harness.mjs as the canonical disposable browser verification harness: bun run browser:harness starts the fixture on an ephemeral localhost port, launches or attaches a browser with CDP, writes browser-session.json, and stays alive until terminated.
Add explicit isolation: "shadow" | "none" support. "shadow" remains the default; "none" renders the same Mesurer UI into a plain child of the resolved mount target, using .msr\:* utility classes and without leaking baseline/global CSS into the host document.
Make plugin state semantics explicit: transient renderer state remains memory-only; plugin persistence stores only declared persist slices plus Settings plugin enablement; history stores only declared history slices, with first-party edit/arrange Desired state participating in undo/redo while Context notes and screenshot capture state do not.

0.1.5 - 2026-09-03

Unify the browser-agent contract around window.__MESURER__, add metadata-rich context payloads with layout/typography/connectivity evidence, make contextText() the canonical Markdown serializer, and add a public version plus a validation-safe window.__MESURER__.validate() contract.
Add the portable mesurer-ui Agent Skill for browser-driven Codex and other coding agents, package a deterministic mesurer-skill install CLI, and verify the installed skill/injector from clean packed-package consumers.
Give contextText({ scope: "selection" }) a deterministic fallback: when nothing is selected it now returns the full workspace Context instead of failing.
Add capture-state primitives for agents: capturePlan(...), prepareCapture(...), and finishCapture() with full-page/viewport/region clip metadata plus reversible Mesurer UI hiding, so screenshot workflows do not need to infer coordinates or mutate the host page.
Make the browser controller's public select(...) command return a deterministic command result, including the selected target count, while preserving the same command invocation path.
Add a public commands() discovery surface and document the current stable command ids alongside describe(), state(), and review() so agents can inspect available command/state features before mutating the page.
Add a stable context:v1 plugin service with context(), contextText(), copyContext(), select(), annotation APIs, and capture APIs, so extensions can consume Context without reaching through controller internals.
Add opt-in static package metadata helpers MESURER_VERSION, MESURER_PLUGIN_API_VERSION, and describeMesurerPackage() so tooling can inspect release/plugin capabilities without mounting the browser runtime.
Treat connect-src as the explicit CSP boundary for optional loopback Codex delivery and keep the default Mesurer runtime free of outbound requests unless the Codex plugin is enabled.
Add a standalone mesurer-codex loopback companion plus optional codex() plugin that sends saved Context, current selection, or workspace Context through codex queue, with explicit origin controls and opt-in packaging.

0.1.4 - 2026-09-01

Add current-selection Context copy from the toolbar, hide Mesurer UI from clipboard context capture, and add a 2-second "Copied" confirmation without changing selection or tool state.
Make toolbar drag finish stable under normal pointer movement by restoring host selection state immediately on pointer release and suppressing only the synthetic post-drag click instead of carrying a one-shot suppression flag into later unrelated clicks.
Keep the dimensions label attached to the viewport-visible edge of a partially clipped selected element and clear it once the target is fully offscreen, without clamping the selection border or changing measured geometry.
Keep the selected target's blue highlight visible while using the Context popover, while preventing Mesurer's toolbar/popover UI from becoming a selection or measurement target.
Keep the dimensions label and Context popover above overlapping host-page content in isolated and non-isolated mounts, without coupling their placement to host stacking contexts.
Keep the Context popover available in plugin-driven mounts without requiring a hard-coded shell flag, and expose selection/workspace Context through the public window.__MESURER__ API.
Keep Context extraction bounded to the selected semantic target and its immediate layout relationships, with stable DOM-path and geometry evidence rather than framework-specific component internals.

0.1.3 - 2026-09-01

Port the remaining top-layer overlays to the Solid renderer and remove the legacy React renderer package from the runtime path.

0.1.2 - 2026-08-31

Switch the default renderer path from React to Solid while keeping the package's public injection API stable.
Keep the default Mesurer export framework-neutral by routing it through the renderer bundle instead of importing solid-js from the public entry.
Add host-compat CI that verifies the package can be loaded into React, Solid, Vue, Svelte, vanilla HTML, browser-eval, and Electron-style consumers without framework coupling.

0.1.1 - 2026-08-31

Match the canonical ibelick/mesurer toolbar and measurement visuals while preserving the Solid port's framework-neutral package API.
Keep the historical @jhomra21/mesurer-solid package name as a compatibility alias while publishing the canonical npm package as mesurer-solid.
