Altium - the Altium Bridge

@@ -1,5 +1,11 @@ # Changelog +## 0.1.37 — 2026-09-01+- **Altium's dialog text is unreadable — so the reaper stops relying on it.** Measured: the VaultExplorer warning's entire UIA subtree is `Window "Warning" -> panes -> Button "OK"`. The message is PAINTED pixels, absent from `WM_GETTEXT` and from the accessibility tree, so no amount of text classification will ever see it.+- **The rule that does work: a dialog whose ONLY button is OK carries no decision.** Dismissing it can acknowledge, never choose. Everything that asks something of the user has two or more buttons — a save prompt (Save / Don't Save / Cancel), a licence chooser (Choose a license / Continue), a confirm (Yes / No). The standing reaper now clears lone-OK dialogs even when their text is unreadable, logging them as `single_ok_acknowledgement`.+- Multi-button dialogs are still never improvised on: if the catalog's safe action is not literally one of the dialog's buttons, the reaper leaves it alone.+- This is what finally makes `Could not start Vault Explorer` — and any future painted, single-OK Altium warning — invisible to the user.+ ## 0.1.36 — 2026-09-01 - **The bridge can finally READ Altium's dialog messages.** Altium PAINTS its dialog text instead of using Static controls, so `WM_GETTEXT` returned nothing but the BUTTON labels — `Could not start Vault Explorer…` came back as a body of just `"OK"`. Every such dialog therefore classified as `unknown`, which is why the standing reaper (correctly, per its own rules) refused to touch the exact warning it was built for. - `_body_of()` now strips the button labels and, when what is left is too short to be a message, asks UIA (`desktop_ui_text`) for the painted text. Classification, the reaper, `check_dialogs` and every `_hint` that quotes a dialog all get the real message.
