Altium - the Altium Bridge

@@ -1,5 +1,9 @@ # Changelog +## 0.1.10 — 2026-08-31+- #3 (Colby) root-cause FIX: the agent registers the PCB/SCH scripting APIs at startup (`ServersUp`: `Client.StartServer('PCB')`/`('SCH')` before the first `PCBServer` reference) — on a fresh session that never opened a PCB document the API unit is unregistered and the old template halted with an "Undeclared identifier: PostProcess" modal on the user's screen.+- #3 follow-up: `altium_agent_recover` now closes the scratch `AdomAgent_<digest>.PrjScr` out of the Projects panel after freeing the engine (only there — after a successful start the resident loop runs from it).+ ## 0.1.9 — 2026-08-31 - #2/PR #64 (Colby): detect the ADDevelop build — _TITLE_RE now accepts an optional edition word (Develop/Viewer/…) and optional version parens, with a guard so a bare mid-string "Altium Designer" in a dialog cannot pose as the main window. Proven against six title shapes. - #3 (Colby, partial): the -R helpers now reap Altium's single-instance "another instance is busy" notice in the background (both RunScript/RunScriptText lanes and recover), so a stray helper never leaves that modal on the user's screen.
