## What's new in v1.6.0
| Before / after (left: off ยท right: on โ only the part over the chat text changes) |
| --- |
| 
|
- **A new glass treatment**: the part of the widget reaching into the conversation **content column** turns into **grey glass**:
- **title bar / bottom cost & balance rows**: slightly transparent (adjustable);
- **the middle background**: fully transparent โ the blurred conversation shows through;
- **the dial and text in the middle**: keep only their **lightness** (hue and saturation dropped = greyscale), and **each colour's opacity equals its lightness** (lightness 80 โ opacity 80%), so different colours end up differently transparent.
- **Only the overlapping rectangle is affected**: whatever has not entered the chat column stays exactly as it was (even the dial keeps its colours). Implemented by clipping inside the SVG filter โ the transformed result inside the hole and the original outside, feathered by the **Edge fade** setting.
- **Six settings** (all live and remembered):
| Setting | Range | Default | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Frost | 0โ24px | 9px | blur radius |
| Transparency | 0โ100% | 47% | density of the milky veil in the middle |
| Edge fade | 0โ40px | 14px | transition width between the normal and the glass area (0 = hard edge) |
| Bar fade | 0โ60% | 15% | transparency of the title bar and the bottom rows (**0% = fully opaque**) |
| Content opacity | 0โ100% | 100% | multiplier on top of lightness: 100% = strictly by lightness, 0% = invisible (linear, every step does something) |
| Lightness | Rec.709 / HSL / HSV | Rec.709 | which lightness defines the greyscale and the opacity |
- **Fixed**: changing *Content opacity* or switching *Lightness* rebuilt the filter and reset the hole rectangle, so the transform vanished until the next tick (it felt like the slider did nothing). It now applies immediately โ and the range was narrowed from 0โ200% to **0โ100%**.
## What's new in v1.5.3
- **Fixed: session spend could stop updating (out-of-range ledger cursor)**: after a session log is compacted or rewritten its seq space shrinks, while the persisted `cursor` stays in the old space โ so `snapshotEvents(cursor, log end)` returns an empty array forever and new events are never folded in (session spend freezes, or stays at ยฅ0.00 after a reset). The session's ledger entry is now rebuilt from the current log whenever `cursor > session.seq`.
- **Fixed: the dial hand ran backwards after midnight**: the 00:00โ06:00 branch of `dialPosOfHour()` had the wrong direction (`90 - 15t`), so the hand turned back after reaching the top. Both halves now sweep left โ top โ right: night **18:00 left โ 24:00 top โ 06:00 right**, day 06:00 left โ 12:00 top โ 18:00 right, with instant jumps at 06:00 and 18:00.
- **Version shown at the bottom of the settings panel**: the host returns `version` (read from `package.json`) in `/state`, and the settings panel shows `dsh-cost-gauge vX.Y.Z` in 10px muted text; the row hides itself when no version is available.
## What's new in v1.5.2
| Settings: frost strength / transparency | Before and after (left: off, right: on) |
| --- | --- |
| 
| 
|
- **Adjustable frost strength and transparency** (two sliders in the settings panel, applied live and remembered):
- **Frost** `0โ24px` โ blur radius, higher is hazier (0 keeps only the translucent tint);
- **Transparency** `0โ100%` โ higher is more see-through and less milky.
- **The title bar is never frosted**: the frost only applies below it, so the drag handle stays crisp for locating and grabbing the widget.
- **Soft gradient edges instead of a hard line**: the transition width follows the frost strength (5โ18px). The hole is built as "horizontal complement โช vertical complement" (De Morgan) in the background mask, and the frost layer uses the same shape as its mask, so both fade out together.
## What's new in v1.5.1
| Same spot, side by side: off (left) / frosted (right) |
| --- |
| |
- **The frost is actually visible now**: the layer used to be just 5% white plus `blur(12px)` โ blurring a flat dark chat background yields the same flat dark background, so nothing seemed to change. It is now a **milky gradient + slight brightening + inner hairline** (`blur(9px) saturate(1.2) brightness(1.12)`): measured on the same patch the luminance goes **29 โ 83**, while the blurred text behind keeps its structure.
- **Can't find the switch?** While the frost is off, covering the conversation text (overlap โฅ 35% of the widget) now shows a **one-time hint**: enable โFrosted glass over the chat areaโ in settings.
- **Fixed: the widget could get stuck in the top-left corner** โ loading in a minimized window / background tab (viewport 0ร0) made the viewport clamp compute a position of (0,0) and persist it; the clamp is now skipped when the viewport is 0.
## What's new in v1.5.0
| Settings: the new โfrosted glass over the chatโ switch |
| --- |
| 
|
- **Auto step-aside when the window is resized**: after you stretch or resize the window, if the widget covers the middle conversation **text column** it moves into the **blank gap between the text column and the sidebar** โ centred in that gap and placed in its **lower part** (flush with the bottom of the window; if that would cover the composer it stops 8px above it). Only when the gap is too narrow does it fall back to the sidebar column.
- Priority: **middle text column (never covered) > bottom composer > sidebars**; ties keep "left stays left, right stays right" with the smallest movement.
- Triggered only by **window resizes** (150 ms debounce); it never fights a manual drag and is skipped in the narrow strip mode.
- The gap fits when one side's clearance is โฅ widget width + 16px: at the default 216px that needs a window โณ1658px (middle column โฅ 1378px, sidebar expanded, right bar closed); at the minimum 180px it is about 1458px.
- **Optional frosted glass over the chat** (new setting, **off by default**): when enabled, the part of the widget overlapping the conversation text turns into translucent frosted glass (`backdrop-filter`) so the covered text stays readable โ only the genuinely overlapping part is frosted, parking in the blank gap keeps it opaque. Implemented as "punch a hole in the background layer and lay a frost layer over it" (`mask-composite: exclude`).
- **Auto-dock when the sidebar collapses**: when DSH collapses the sidebar (or the viewport is very narrow) the narrow strip docks to the **right of the sidebar**; with the sidebar expanded it docks under the "Sessions / Workspaces" heading, and it returns to its previous spot when narrow mode ends (the dock position is never persisted).
- Narrow strip width 48px โ **36px**.
- Internal fix: the "chat content column" used by both behaviours is now derived from `--dsh-chat-content-width` (the centred content band inside the panel) with proper `clamp()/calc()` resolution, falling back to the composer card width and then to the whole middle panel, so the blank gutters are no longer mistaken for conversation content.
## What's new in v1.4.0
| Narrow window โ vertical mini |
| --- |
| 
|
- **Viewport-aware vertical mini**: a `ResizeObserver` watches the viewport width; at **779px or less** the gauge switches to a 48px-wide **vertical mini** (top to bottom: status lamp โ session cost โ balance โ model badge, rendered vertically) and **expands again on click**. When the window grows back to **860px or more** the previous expanded/collapsed state is restored.
- **Hysteresis** (enter 780 / exit 860) prevents flicker at the threshold; after you manually expand from the mini strip it stays expanded until the window grows past 860px again.
- Thresholds can be overridden via `localStorage` keys `dsh-cost-gauge:narrowEnter` / `dsh-cost-gauge:narrowExit`.
## What's new in v1.3.0
| Spend records panel | Settings | Arc cap fix |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 
| 
| 
|
- **Correct cost math**: the host now replays the session log and prices every usage event at โrate at that moment ร model at that momentโ, so off-peak usage is charged at the off-peak rate and peak usage at the peak rate, then summed. This fixes the old behaviour where entering the peak window re-priced the whole history (cost doubling).
- **New โRecords / Resetโ icon buttons** (top-left and top-right of the dial; borderless mini icons with hover hints). The records panel offers `All time / Year / Month / Week` filtering and paging, a **stacked bar chart** (by band or by model) and a detail table that lists **only periods with usage**. Scope switches between `This session` and `All sessions`. The panel is draggable, may cover the gauge, and is pulled back inside the window when out of bounds. Reset is a two-step confirmation that moves the baseline and restarts from ยฅ0.00 (history is kept).
- **Excel export is now a real `.xlsx`** (OOXML; hand-written minimal zip writer, no dependencies; opens in Excel/WPS with no format warning): two worksheets plus a note row, and **default file name `
