Release Notes

Urgent patch candidate for the 1.1 line. This release concentrates on channel
delivery and pairing, IronHub/custom MCP compatibility, WebUI streaming
stability, durable retrieval, and safe upgrades from both supported stable
predecessors.

Upgrading from 1.0.0. Stop all writers and take a database-native snapshot
before starting 1.1.1. Container deployments must also copy the old shared
/workspace to durable storage and set
IRONCLAW_REBORN_LEGACY_WORKSPACE_SNAPSHOT to that retained snapshot. Startup
applies the additive database migrations and the bounded record migration,
imports workspace files create-only, verifies the result, and retains the old
authorities for rollback. Slack and Telegram state is skipped by default and
must be reconfigured; set
IRONCLAW_REBORN_SKIP_RC1_CHANNEL_STATE_MIGRATION=false to opt into its
verified import.

Upgrading from 1.1.0. No offline data transform is required. Stop all
writers, take the normal database/volume snapshot, and start 1.1.1 against the
same durable state. Startup re-verifies any retained release-pair migration
record. The Slack/Telegram skip only affects installations that still have
legacy channel state awaiting that migration.

For containers, keep both IRONCLAW_REBORN_HOME and
IRONCLAW_REBORN_WORKSPACE_ROOT on durable storage. A database alone does not
retain project files, generated artifacts, materialized extension packages, or
filesystem-backed skills when a container is replaced.

Fixed

• Channels: retain provisioned Slack personal-DM delivery targets and
  accept Telegram /pair as a pairing-code alias.
• Channel upgrade safety: skip malformed legacy Slack/Telegram state by
  default without deleting its source rows, while keeping an explicit opt-in
  path for verified import.
• IronHub and custom MCP: install signed IronHub prompt assets using the
  1.1 extension asset contract, and fix the chat “connect account” dead end for
  already-connected extensions.
• WebUI: stop SSE reload retry storms and scope active-run bookkeeping to
  the thread that owns the run.
• Retrieval: avoid repeated libSQL FTS backfills, make natural-language FTS
  queries safe, and preserve pageable result_read continuation references.
• Runtime credentials: make WASM secret_exists see credentials staged
  during extension setup.

Documentation

• Document how to place the Reborn home and workspace root on durable storage
  so container replacement does not discard filesystem artifacts.
