# v1.3.0-alpha.0 — Desktop conversation + project-scoped sessions

This alpha brings the Agent Room workflow into the desktop app without changing
the safety model: the GUI still talks only to the bundled CLI sidecar, and
agent-launching actions remain confirmation-first.

## What changed

- Added an Agent Room composer under the desktop timeline.
- Plain text messages now persist to the active project's
  `.ai-session/conversation.jsonl`.
- Slash command echoes are recorded before checks run, so the timeline stays
  project-scoped and replayable.
- Added `relay-baton conversation append <text> --json` as the supported CLI
  surface for desktop/session integrations.
- The conversation panel now shows the active project and session state.
- New desktop chrome remains localized in English, Korean, Japanese, and
  Simplified Chinese.

## Safety model

- `/status`, `/budget`, `/review`, `/diagnose`, and `/replay` are check/read
  operations through the sidecar.
- `/plan`, `/execute`, and `/handoff` open the existing preview/confirm dialog;
  the composer does not auto-launch agents.
- No direct LLM API calls, API-key storage, daemon, auto commit, auto push, or
  auto PR behavior was added.

## Compatibility

- `project add` still accepts non-git directories. Git-backed commands still
  require a git repository when they actually inspect diffs or run handoffs.
- `conversation append` requires an initialized `.ai-session`; use
  `relay-baton init` or the desktop "Init session" button first.
- The Tauri app version remains plain `1.3.0` for installer compatibility; the
  prerelease identity is the git tag/release name.
