Altium - the Altium Bridge

@@ -1,5 +1,8 @@ # Changelog +## 0.1.39 — 2026-09-01+- **0.1.38's idle-watcher never actually started.** The boot-site call used `taskbar` unimported (dispatch imports it lazily inside the handler), so boot logged `name 'taskbar' is not defined` — and logged it as a DIALOG REAPER failure, because the watcher call sat inside the reaper's try-block. Fixed the import, and each boot service now has its own try so a failure names the thing that failed. Verified by the boot log this time, not by assumption.+ ## 0.1.38 — 2026-09-01 - **The taskbar overlay badge auto-clears after 5 minutes without a driving verb.** John, seeing the Adom mark still parked on Altium's taskbar icon: *"do you auto-remove that overlay after 5 minutes of verb inactivity?"* The answer was no — the badge was set on the first driving verb and never cleared until the bridge died, while this module's own header PROMISED "cleared when the bridge goes idle". A permanent overlay stops meaning "an AI is driving right now" and starts meaning nothing. An idle watcher (started at boot beside the dialog reaper) now clears it at 5 idle minutes; the next driving verb re-badges instantly. - For the record, what already worked: every driving verb with a measured estimate ≥3 s runs a REAL taskbar progress bar on Altium's button (percent paced by history, marquee when unmeasured, red flash + clear on failure) and stops it when the verb returns — progress rides the taskbar icon, never toasts, per the house rule.
