Release 0.5.1

This PR prepares Ovis 0.5.1; the owner has given the go. Nothing is tagged or published by this PR itself: the merge pass runs the release after merging it. #3276 is not in this release.

What's in it

  • package.json and herdr-plugin.toml: version 0.5.1.
  • CHANGELOG.md: the 19 changelog.d/ fragments merged since v0.5.0 folded under [0.5.1] with bun scripts/changelog-fold.ts 0.5.1, each linked to its PR, with by @vibewriter-hand on fix(chat): read a Claude pane's own session when herdr's report names a child's #3264 and fix(chat): greet a new Codex pane whose footer names a custom provider's model #3265 (the only outside PRs). changelog.d/ holds only its README.
  • release-summaries.json: the 0.5.1 notes in en, ko, ja and zh, 1 / 3 / 5 lines (new / improved / fixed), every English line at most 70 characters:
    • New: account sign-in on the first-run welcome.
    • Improved: Add a connection as three tabs, the update hint for a Tailscale PC with an older Ovis, a dismissible same-Wi-Fi direct notice.
    • Fixed: the terminal cursor after arrow keys and a space, "Conversation unavailable" on Claude and Codex panes, Safari's sidebar workspace list, swipes on tables and code blocks on phones, Android key-bar keys reopening the keyboard.
  • shared/machines.ts: REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION 42 -> 43, as bun scripts/release-guards.ts asks (the remote bundle's inputs changed since remote-v42).

After merge (merge pass)

  1. Push remote-v43 on the merged commit and wait for Remote PC bundles to publish it.
  2. Merge nothing touching server/, shared/, bun.lock or patches/ until the Release run is done.
  3. Run Actions -> Release with 0.5.1.

Phone apps: nothing under app/ outside app/electron changed since build 7 (e3cb6e4a), so build 7 stays (no phone build for 0.5.1).

Validation

  • bun scripts/release-guards.ts: "Release 0.5.1: remote bundle, telemetry Worker and release metadata are in order."
  • bun test scripts/changelog-fold.test.ts scripts/release-notes.test.ts scripts/release-guards.test.ts: 38 pass, 0 fail.
  • bun run check fast (heavy runner, old-desktop): all ok (workflow syntax, generated types and themes, typecheck, build), unit tests 12992 pass / 0 fail.
  • 24 files, under CodeRabbit's 150-file limit.

Bump the version, fold changelog.d into CHANGELOG.md with contributor credits, add the 0.5.1 release summaries and raise REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION to 43.

This PR consolidates the 0.5.1 release notes, removes the corresponding draft changelog entries, updates package and plugin versions, and increments the remote bundle version.

Changes: 0.5.1 Release Preparation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Consolidate 0.5.1 release notes
CHANGELOG.md, changelog.d/*, release-summaries.json
The main changelog and four localized release summaries add 0.5.1 notes. The corresponding draft changelog entries are removed, and the changelog comparison links are updated.
Update release version identifiers
package.json, herdr-plugin.toml, shared/machines.ts
The package and plugin versions change to 0.5.1. REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION changes from "42" to "43".

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Other

Suggested reviewers: jjliebig, vibewriter-hand

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 47a2d

The release preparation has bounded risks: update notes overstate two features, and source deployments may temporarily fail remote-PC setup until bundle 43 is published. Coordinate bundle availability, correct the summaries, and fix the PR title before completing the release.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "release: 0.5.1" names the main purpose of the changeset, which is preparing the Ovis 0.5.1 release. It follows the conventional prefix style and is short. It does not describe the individual changes, such as the relay-pass and sign-in updates, but the changeset does not require that detail.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template in substance. It covers the release scope, the changelog fragment folding, the release-summary locales, the REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION bump, and post-merge steps. The Change section does not describe a problem and resulting behavior in the template's sense, and it does not link a maintainer-agreed issue. The Validation section lists the checks run and their results, but it does not state which checks were skipped or confirm contract-test coverage for HTTP/WS changes. The template also reminds contributors that changelog entries belong in changelog.d/, never CHANGELOG.md. This PR edits CHANGELOG.md directly, which the description says it does through the fold script, so this is consistent with the release process, though the template's guidance is not restated.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 1 files. (4 skipped: 4 unsupported.)

Review comments at @release-summaries.json:
- Around line 4-5: Update the sign-in summary under the “new” entries in all
four language versions to clarify that available sign-in options depend on the
account service and its configured providers; do not imply both GitHub and
Google are always available.
- Around line 13-14: Update the four release summaries in the JSON to describe
only the specific conversation-resolution cases fixed; do not imply Codex can
never show “Conversation unavailable,” since the fallback remains when its
session cannot be resolved. Keep the terminal cursor summary focused on its
arrow-key and space behavior.

Review comments at @shared/machines.ts:
- Line 8: Ensure the bundle matching REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION is available to
source deployments before they can run version 43; update the bundle
availability or deployment configuration so remote-PC installation and updates
work without relying on remote-v43 already being published.
