0.8.0 and 0.7.0 rendered as a version header over an empty row on
/changelog and in releases.json, the feed the macOS app's Changelog pane
renders. Older still, 0.6.0/0.6.2/0.6.3 were gone from the page outright.
Both come from one gap. The appcast is the only live source and it is not a
store: it holds just the DMGs the release machine keeps, and
generate_appcast drops the description of any rebuilt item whose DMG ships
no notes file of its own — so a release it still lists can arrive with
nothing to show, and one it has aged out of vanishes. The checked-in
archive was meant to cover that, but it stopped at 0.5.0, and mergeReleases
skipped an archived version whenever the appcast mentioned it, so it could
never heal a row that existed and was blank.
The archive now carries every release that shipped notes, 0.9.0 down to
0.2.0, and withArchivedNotes fills an item only where the feed has nothing,
leaving a published description alone. /changelog and releases.json run the
same rule rather than two copies, so the page and the feed cannot disagree
about what a release said. 0.6.1 and 0.3.1 stay absent by design — they
shipped with no notes written.
Tests: bun test src/routes/api/the-nook/ (51 pass; the 4 new cases fail on
this branch's parent); bun test unchanged at 49 failures, all in
src/server/security, which needs an .env a worktree does not carry.
Proved end to end against the live appcast as published by the 0.9.0
release: 11 releases, all with sections.

Every cold origin render of /changelog died with ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT:
the pending createAsync at the top of NookChangelogPage suspended the
whole component before <EdgeCacheHeaders> rendered, the shell flushed
while the S3 appcast fetch was in flight, and the boundary re-render
then called setResponseHeader on an already-sent response. Warm renders
hid it because the appcast's 5-minute module cache resolved in a
microtask; fresh Vercel isolates and cache expiry hit the crash, which
is why refreshes and direct navigation failed while in-app Links worked.
deferStream holds the stream until the releases resolve, so HttpHeader
always runs pre-flush. The S3 latency lands on origin renders only,
which the page's CDN-Cache-Control s-maxage=300 already keeps rare.
Tests: local prod-build cold-start loop (build + curl /nook/changelog),
red 3/3 before, green 5/5 after; stack identical to the prod trace.
Fixes FRE-112
The appcast retains only recent items, so releases before 0.6.0 had no
surface. The five older sections (0.5.0 back to the first widely
distributed 0.2.0) were recovered from the changelog file's git
history (The-Nook 1ad8a69 / db165cd), converted to the same HTML the
embed step produces, and checked in as an archive the page merges
behind the appcast items — appcast stays authoritative, archive fills
the gaps. 0.3.1 and 0.6.1 shipped without written notes and are absent
by design. Also fixes the accordion snapping 0.6.3 back open when all
sections were collapsed: after any click the state is a version or an
explicit none sentinel, never the initial first-open default.
Tests: tsc clean; dev render shows all eight releases with notes in
the DOM.
Issue: FRE-13
Releases that shipped before notes were embedded in the appcast
(0.6.2 and earlier) have empty descriptions, so expanding their row
rendered a blank expanse that read as broken. Show a muted "no notes
recorded" line instead; the appcast embed step now runs every release,
so history accumulates from here on.
Tests: vinxi build clean; tsc clean.
Issue: FRE-13
A long appcast made the page grow with every release and pushed
historical versions far below the fold. Versions now collapse to a
header row inside a fixed-height vertical panel (max-h 70vh): expanding
one never shifts the page, and history is browsed by scrolling inside
it. The newest release starts open; notes stay mounted and toggle via
hidden rather than unmounting, so crawlers still see every entry.
Tests: vinxi build clean; tsc clean.
Issue: FRE-13
Three organic surfaces, each answering an objection at the moment it
bites. /agents lists all twelve agents with each hook's exact event
surface (mirrors AgentSpec.all + hook/setup.go + the plugins) and what
a card can do — allow/deny or observe. /changelog renders the appcast
HTML the Sparkle updater already publishes, so release notes have one
source of truth. /faq answers privacy (scoped honestly: no prompt or
code content leaves the device), the notch question, battery,
permissions, the macOS 14 floor and offline use — no refund question,
per decision: the trial is the answer. Nav gains the three links.
Tests: appcast parser suite (5 tests) covers CDATA, escaped HTML,
Version-prefix titles and garbage input.
Issues: FRE-12, FRE-13, FRE-14
