ByteRover CLI 3.7.1

on GitHub

This patch release cleans up brv vc noise: runtime ranking data no longer churns your tracked notes, and OS / editor temp files are now ignored by default. It also refreshes the agent skill template so connected coding agents know where to look up your past queries and curates.

🌟 Highlights

🧹 brv vc status stays clean after queries and curates

Until now, every brv search, brv query, or agent curate quietly updated ranking data (things like how often a note was accessed and how recent it is) inside the markdown files themselves. That meant brv vc status was always full of churn that didn't reflect anything you actually wrote.

v3.7.1 moves all of that ranking data into a separate per-project file kept outside your tracked notes. Your markdown now only holds the things you actually edit (title, tags, summary, related links, and the body), and your version control stays quiet between real edits.

While we were in the area, brv dream synthesize also stopped writing maturity: draft into the top of new synthesis files. That field now seeds the sidecar too, so freshly generated summaries land clean.

No action needed. Older context trees with ranking fields still living in the markdown will continue to load. Leftover fields are simply ignored on read, so nothing breaks and no migration is required.

🤖 Connected agents now know about your query and curate history

Coding agents that connect to ByteRover via brv connectors install (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, and others) get an updated skill file with a dedicated new section for history and recall metrics. When an agent is debugging a knowledge gap, it now reaches for brv query-log view, brv query-log summary, and brv curate view (including the resolution-tier breakdown and time / status filters) instead of guessing.

To pick this up on an existing connector, re-run:

brv connectors install <agent>

🙈 OS and editor temp files no longer clutter brv vc status

The context-tree .gitignore now excludes the usual operating-system and editor noise:

• macOS: .DS_Store, ._*
• Windows: Thumbs.db, ehthumbs.db, Desktop.ini
• Linux: .directory, .fuse_hidden*, .nfs*
• Editors: *.swp, *.swo, *~, .#*, *.bak, *.tmp

Patterns auto-sync into existing projects on the next brv vc command, so no manual .gitignore edit is needed.

What's Changed

🐛 Fixes

• Runtime signals sidecar: move access / recency / maturity ranking out of markdown frontmatter into a per-project sidecar so brv vc status stays clean - by @danhdoan in #447, #448, #449, #450, #452, #453, #455, #456, #457
• Synthesis files no longer leak maturity: draft into frontmatter: brv dream synthesize now seeds the sidecar instead - by @RyanNg1403 in #458
• Extend context-tree .gitignore with macOS / Windows / Linux system files and editor swap / backup / temp patterns - by @bao-byterover in #463

✨ Improvements

• Agent skill template, dedicated section for query and curate history: connectors now teach agents about brv query-log view, brv query-log summary, brv curate view, the resolution-tier taxonomy, and time / status filters - by @DatPham-6996 in #445
