Changelog

[Unreleased]

[2.6.0] - 2026-07-11

Added

• LiveView accessibility: ARIA roles + announcement live region (#431). The LiveView terminal surface now emits ARIA roles and an aria-live region so screen readers announce state changes.
• Accessibility projection + MCP a11y fields (#428). The model exposes an accessibility projection; MCP screenshots carry a11y fields describing focus, roles, and announcements.
• OpenRouter backend harness with app attribution (#414). Backend.Selector's :openrouter harness targets OpenRouter (OpenAI-compatible) and attaches app-attribution headers (HTTP-Referer, X-OpenRouter-Title, X-OpenRouter-Categories) so Raxol appears on openrouter.ai/rankings.
• raxol_payments: recipient_address on the Xochi QuoteRequest (#416), and stealth fields surfaced in the ACP Xochi deliverable so buyers can settle to a stealth meta-address.
• Property tests for the money-adjacent paths (#392/#393): router_property_test (trust-score totality / monotonicity / clamp / tier_override bounds), ledger_release_property_test (Ledger.release/4 refund netting), jsonrpc_nonce_test (concurrent-send nonce distinctness), job_session/telemetry_test (pins the [:raxol, :acp, :job_session, :transition] cross-package contract with raxol_symphony), and an exhaustive JobSession.Status.validate/2 matrix.

Changed

• Toolchain: Elixir 1.20 / OTP 29, zero warnings (#398).
• raxol_payments: MPP amounts pinned to atomic integer units (#413); Xochi Tron deposit-route quotes verified.
• Web surface hardening (#427/#418/#426): web deploy gained a CI gate, health check, SSH, and warnings-as-errors; the raxol.io agent surface was tightened; the landing demo is interactive (forwards keydown).

Fixed

• raxol_acp: EOA nonce race in ProviderAdapter.JSONRPC (#392). send_calls/3 fetched the pending nonce inline, so two concurrent sends for one EOA signed the same nonce and the RPC silently dropped one (fund loss on retry). Nonce assignment now routes through the mailbox-serialized Raxol.ACP.Wallet.NonceServer; a failed send resyncs to re-fetch and re-fill the gap. The SCA/UserOp path is unaffected.
• raxol_payments: negative trust score crashed the router (#393). Raxol.Payments.Router clamped only the upper trust-score bound, so a negative :trust_score hit PrivacyTier.from_trust_score/2 (no negative clause) and raised FunctionClauseError on the settlement path. Now clamped to [0,100] at the boundary.
• raxol_payments: x402 auto-pay budget leak and value binding (#403); refunded status now handled and the session budget reconciled on refund (#402); Ledger reservation tags are bounded with a TTL sweep (#407).
• raxol_acp: write-confirmation correctness. EOA transactions confirm the receipt before reporting write success (#412); a reverted UserOp is rejected as a failed SCA write (#409); accept_request (#408) and seller delivery (#406) are idempotent.
• Web release stability: fixed a raxol.io release boot crash (#424), restored web PubSub + SSH for minimal-mode Raxol (#425), set ssh/public_key to :permanent (#420), and excluded nested build artifacts from the Docker context (#422).
• CI: de-flaked two timing-sensitive property tests (#432) (parser performance budget, process-isolation link race) that failed seed-dependently on the nightly and macOS matrices.

Security

• raxol_payments: wallet private key guarded from crash-report leak (#404). Keys are wrapped so they cannot surface in Inspect output or crash reports.
• Dependencies: pruned orphaned lockfile deps, dropping the Tesla CVEs (#415); dropped the earmark dependency (#396).

Removed

• raxol_acp: v1 memo model retired (seller-stack migration Phases 1-4, #385/#390/#388/#389/#391). Deleted Raxol.ACP.Job.{Server, Supervisor, Registry, Workflow, StateMachine, MemoType, FeeType, Store}, Raxol.ACP.ContractClient (+ Onchain + InMemory), the memo Raxol.ACP.Directives + their executor, Raxol.ACP.Onchain.LogDecoder, and the acp_version / ACP_VERSION switch. The v2 hook/event model (Raxol.ACP.JobSession + Raxol.ACP.HookClient -> AgenticCommerceV3 via Raxol.ACP.ProviderAdapter) is now the only runtime. raxol_acp graduated 0.2.0-pre.0 -> 0.2.0. Supersedes ADR-0016/0017. See packages/raxol_acp/MIGRATION_V2.md.

[2.5.0] - 2026-07-07

Fixed

• Layout engine: dynamic-children dropped from column(opts, do: var): when callers wrote the inline keyword-list form column(style: ..., do: items) Elixir matched it against def column/1 instead of defmacro column/2, and the :do key rode through into the layout function unread. Flex.column/1 then saw children: [] and rendered an empty container. Fix: Raxol.Core.Renderer.View.promote_do_to_children/1 pops :do and re-keys it as :children (via List.wrap so single-child blocks work too); View.column/1, View.row/1, View.box/1 all forward through it. Restored rendering for CheckboxDemo, TextAreaDemo, RadioGroupDemo.
• Layout engine: chart widget types dropped at layout step: Components.chart/1 returns a :box element whose :type is overridden to one of :line_chart, :bar_chart, :scatter_chart, :heatmap so MCP's ToolProvider can discover them. The layout engine had no clauses for those types; they hit the catch-all warning and the element disappeared. Fix: added one process_element/3 clause that rewrites the chart types to :box and forwards. Restored LineChart, ScatterChart, BarChart, CursorTrail, Heatmap demos.
• Layout engine: style: %{position: {x, y}} offset ignored on :text elements: chart cells emitted by Raxol.UI.Charts.ViewBridge carry their own relative position so each row lands at the right column. The :text layout clause used space.x, space.y unconditionally and stacked all cells at the same coordinate. Fix: extract {dx, dy} from style.position and add to the space origin.
• Layout engine: :text_input constructor shape mismatch: Components.text_input/1 builds the element with top-level :value / :placeholder keys, but the layout clause required them inside :attrs. Element fell to the catch-all and dropped. Fix: added a clause that rewrites the new-DSL shape into the :attrs-shaped form and forwards.

Added

• test/property/layout_completeness_property_test.exs: 3 properties locking down the layout-element-drop bug shape. Generates view trees (text / flex / box / chart) and asserts every :text content string in the input appears in the positioned-elements output. Sabotage-verified: comment out the chart-type clause and both relevant properties fail.
• test/property/promote_do_to_children_property_test.exs: 8 invariants for the helper above. Includes one property documenting that [do: nil] is intentionally indistinguishable from [] (because Keyword.pop/2 can't disambiguate).
• test/property/demo_update_totality_property_test.exs: one property per Catalog demo (30 total). For each demo, folds random sequences of up to 30 mixed key events (chars, special keys, :tick, modifier combos) through update/2 and asserts no exception plus correct {model, commands_list} shape. Catches state-machine edge cases that example tests don't reach (negative cursors, list overflows, unhandled tick states).
• test/raxol/playground/demo_render_test.exs: end-to-end render regression test that mounts every Catalog demo through Raxol.Headless, asserts both text-screenshot content lines and buffer cell paint coverage, and drives demos through documented key sequences (@key_drives) to reach state where the canonical widget content is visible. Caught the four framework bugs above on its first run.
• raxol_symphony Phases 0-14: Elixir/OTP port of OpenAI Symphony. Tracker-driven coding-agent orchestrator with two runner backends (Runners.RaxolAgent default; Runners.Codex Port-based JSON-RPC for parity with upstream Symphony Elixir) and six surfaces (terminal dashboard, LiveView, MCP tools + symphony://runs resource, Telegram per-issue session router, Watch push, JSON /api/v1/*). Workflow hot-reload via WorkflowStore, Linear (GraphQL) + GitHub Issues (state labels) trackers, evidence framework (Evidence.GitHub CI/PR comments, Evidence.Complexity cloc/SLOC fallback, Evidence.Recording cast scan), in-run asciinema capture (Evidence.Capture writes <workspace>/.raxol_symphony/run-<attempt>.cast per dispatch when recording.enabled: true). 399 tests, 0 failures. Pre-alpha, path-dep.
• raxol_acp v0.1 (engineering complete): First Elixir/OTP-native Virtuals Agent Commerce Protocol implementation. Job lifecycle (Job.{Server, StateMachine, Memo, Store, Supervisor, Registry}), EIP-712 typed-data memos via Raxol.Payments.EIP712, on-chain client (ContractClient.Onchain over Req JSON-RPC, EIP-1559 typed-tx signing, Yellow-Paper RLP, log decoder for create_job job_id extraction), Seller stack (Backend.InMemory + Queue + Runtime + Supervisor, opt-in via :seller_enabled), Wallet.NonceServer for serialized nonce assignment, mix raxol_acp.bench sandbox-graduation harness. Optional DETS-backed Job.Store durability. 256 tests, 0 failures. Pre-alpha, path-dep. External-blocked: real ACP contract ABIs, Wallet.SCA, Seller.Backend.WebSocket.
• Raxol.Payments.Wallet.sign_hash/1: new behaviour callback for EIP-1559 transaction signing (sign-precomputed-digest semantics). Wallets.Env and Wallets.Op both implement.

• Workflow Graph (Raxol.Workflow.*, ADR-0015): LangGraph-style stateful workflow primitive in main raxol: a declarative Graph builder with six-step structural validation, synchronous Compiled.invoke/3 plus async_invoke/3 and stream_events/3, a durable Checkpoint.Saver (Ets/Dets/Postgrex adapters), Workflow.interrupt/1 human-in-the-loop with Compiled.resume/4, and failure_policy: :retry | :compensate (reverse-order saga rollback).

• Workflow concurrency (ADR-0019): Graph.add_channel/3 (typed reducers) and Graph.add_join/4 (barrier); multi-node parallel branches via Task.async_stream (parallelism :: pos_integer | :branches), per-branch pause/resume, cancellation cascade, per-branch trace spans, and branch_id checkpoint/telemetry metadata. Real consumers: an ACP cross-chain settlement example and a Symphony parallel-candidates GraphAdapter.

• Effect system (Raxol.Agent.Directive): struct-based directives (Async/Shell/SendAgent/Schedule/Spawn/Stop) with an Executor protocol replacing the closed Command tuple set; a CloudEvents v1.0 envelope (Event.to_cloud_event/2); TraceContext causation_id correlation.
• Agent-stack substrate (ADR-0020): Raxol.Agent.Cache, ThreadLog (append-only audit), declarative Policy.{Retry, Timeout, Cache} via PolicyApplier, and the Sandbox protocol with Sandbox.Chain gating. Symphony's RaxolAgent runner adopts every primitive (tracker cache, thread-log audit, per-turn policies and sandboxes); a Session-backed sibling runner ships.
• Operator-flow contract (ADR-0018): a first-class paused-run substrate end-to-end (Workflow Saver -> ACP Job -> Symphony Orchestrator -> MCP tools -> TUI/LiveView/Telegram/Watch); Raxol.Symphony.PauseReason consolidates reason formatting and is mechanically enforced via a pause_reasons/0 callback.
• raxol_acp Workflow migration (ADR-0016): Job.Server's GenServer state machine replaced by a Workflow-backed implementation (Job.Workflow, a 10-node graph); :via_workflow flipped to the default.
• Self-improving agent loop (raxol_agent): skills as filesystem procedural memory, an after-turn curation reviewer, and a Curator. Raxol.Agent.Skill parses/renders agentskills.io SKILL.md; Raxol.Agent.Skills.Store is a BaseManager disk index with usage telemetry persisted via Core.Stores.Dets, a managed root plus read-only external_dirs (default ~/.agents/skills), and archive/state/pin; skills_list/skill_view/skill_manage Actions. Raxol.Agent.SelfImprove.after_turn/3 spawns an isolated, unlinked reviewer on an auxiliary model that writes durable memory and created_by: :agent skills; Raxol.Agent.Curator ages active -> stale -> archived with interval-plus-idle gating, dry-run, and tar.gz backup/rollback. New use Raxol.Agent callbacks skills_provider/0 and self_improve/0.
• Memory provider stack, full-text recall, dialectic user model (raxol_agent): Raxol.Agent.Memory.Stack composes N memory providers (fan-out writes, merge + rerank + dedup reads); Raxol.Agent.Memory.SessionSearch is a BM25-lite inverted index over raw conversation items (session_search returns messages, not summaries); Raxol.Agent.UserModel derives a per-user dialectic block on an auxiliary model, injected into the last user message via the new optional build_user_context/1 callback. New memory_providers/0 callback.
• Raxol.Agent.Turn: the turn driver that assembles memory/skills/user-context/session-search context from an agent module's callbacks, records each turn to a Conversation.Log, and fires the after-turn self-improvement effects. Wires the loop end-to-end.
• raxol_gateway package (pre-alpha): one daemon connecting many chat platforms through a shared Gateway.Adapter contract. Route keys sessions agent:main:{platform}:{chat_type}:{chat_id}; SessionRouter + Session run one process per chat under a DynamicSupervisor with idle/cooldown/max-session limits; Pairing issues DM codes and decides authorize/2; Delivery resolves four outbound destinations (direct, home, cross-platform, explicit "platform:chat_id" target); per-chat history plus SessionRouter.handoff/3 move a conversation across platforms with its history intact. Adapter.InMemory is a reference adapter.
• Symphony opt-in self-improvement: Raxol.Symphony.Runners.RaxolAgent fires the Agent.Turn after-turn hook (skills curation, memory, user-model refresh, session index) on each turn when agent.module declares it, in both the workflow and simple run paths, without touching event forwarding, pause detection, policies, or sandboxes.
• ADRs 0021-0028: Hermes-extraction Tier 1 (self-improving agents, memory provider stack, unified messaging gateway) and Tier 2 (execution backends + hibernation, cronjob, execute_code, delegate_task, auxiliary-model routing) decision records.
• Idempotent crash recovery for cross-chain payment Actions (raxol_payments): Raxol.Payments.Checkpoint, a nil-safe behaviour for a durable in-flight-intent store injected via context[:checkpoint], with derive_key/1 for a stable idempotency key. Three stores: Checkpoint.ETS (process-crash-durable), Checkpoint.ContextStore (backed by Raxol.Agent.ContextStore, so a deployed agent's in-flight intent rides the same store that backs its crash recovery), and nil (disabled, the default). ExecuteXochiIntent and ExecuteRelayTransfer checkpoint the dispatched intent before submit and resume it on a re-run after a crash (poll-before-re-sign, no second spend authorize) instead of re-quoting and signing twice; the relay rail keys on the logical payment (not the client-minted transfer_id) so a resume reuses the same id and an idempotent broadcaster dedupes a retried deposit. Drops the checkpoint on definite failure; protocol-tagged keys (:xochi/:relay) so a shared store can't collide. The ZERO cockpit crash beat (examples/agents/zero_system.exs) models the contract end-to-end. :live_xochi and :live_relay kill-and-resume gates. 24 new tests + the live variants; 0 failures.
• Auxiliary-model routing (raxol_agent, ADR-0028): Raxol.Agent.Auxiliary routes background tasks (curation, user-model derivation, future titling/triage) to a cheap model per task kind instead of the frontier model. resolve/2 maps a task kind to its slot's ExecutorConfig; resolve_chain/2 adds the slot's fallback chain terminating at the primary executor; select/2 walks the chain through Backend.Selector with an injectable availability predicate. Config is an auxiliary: slot map keyed by task kind with a default_aux catch-all. SelfImprove and UserModel consult the resolver when no explicit backend/model is set, keeping explicit config as an override; with auxiliary: unset every kind resolves to the primary executor.

Changed

• Raxol.Agent.Memory.Store.Ets DETS: migrated the hand-rolled :dets open/persist/delete/clear/sync/close to the shared Raxol.Core.Stores.Dets helper. Behaviour-preserving; the existing store tests pass unchanged.
