0.0.16 - Know thyself

The big one here is the autonomy extraction: docketeer's core is now a plain agent framework, and all the personality/inner-life stuff lives in docketeer-autonomy. You can build a boring chatbot without accidentally giving it an existential crisis.

Also in this release:

• docketeer-subprocess — a new executor for when you don't have bubblewrap (containers, macOS, etc.). Set DOCKETEER_EXECUTOR=subprocess. (#16)
• Search gets a catalog — SearchCatalog with named indices replaces the single shared index. MCP tool search is now semantic and works even for disconnected servers.
• Room context — rooms/{name}.md files auto-load into conversations, same as the people/ pattern already did.
• Tasks get their own rooms — scheduled tasks no longer share one conversation, so reverie isn't reading your nudge history and vice versa.
• edit_file tool — search-and-replace file editing, finally.
• Backend env vars are namespaced — DOCKETEER_ANTHROPIC_MODEL_SMART, DOCKETEER_DEEPINFRA_MODEL_SMART, etc., so they stop stepping on each other.
• Conversation digest in reverie — the agent actually knows what happened in your chats now before it goes off to think.
• Bunch of MCP fixes: string arguments, McpError handling, vault-backed secrets.
• Fixed the inference backend blowing up when the executor was None.
• Audit logs flush immediately, env schemas handle union types, bubblewrap gets a default PATH.
• Doc sync tests so READMEs can't drift from reality again.

0.0.9 - Sharpest tool in the shed (for real this time)

Re-release of 0.0.8 — docketeer-mcp was missing from the publish workflow so it never made it to PyPI. Now it will.

See 0.0.8 for the full changelog.

0.0.8 - Sharpest tool in the shed

MCP (Model Context Protocol) support lands — the agent can now talk to external tool servers over stdio and HTTP. Configure servers, browse their tool catalogs, and dispatch calls, all from the sandbox. Built on FastMCP, which makes the client-side wiring painless.

The toolshed is the piece that makes it work: the bubblewrap executor now discovers node and python installations at startup (nvm, uv/uvx) and mounts them read-only so both the agent's run/shell tools and MCP server launches share the same runtimes.

Other changes:

• API errors no longer crash the agent — 413s trigger compaction and retry, transient failures get an apology, auth errors propagate cleanly
• Sandbox hardened: the toolshed's install root heuristic no longer mounts all of ~/.local when it only needs ~/.local/bin
• Full tool docstrings now make it to the API instead of getting truncated at the first line
• History loading consolidated onto a single RoomMessage / fetch_messages interface
• brain.py split into a package along natural seams
