steipete/summarize v0.8.2

on GitHub

Includes 0.8.2, 0.8.1, and 0.8.0 (rolled up).

Fixed

• Packaging: ship CLI runtime deps and verify pack installs core + cli tarballs before publish.
• Packaging: move CLI runtime deps into dependencies so npm installs run cleanly.

Breaking

• ESM-only: @steipete/summarize + @steipete/summarize-core no longer support CommonJS require(); the CLI binary is now ESM.

Highlights

• Chrome: add a real Side Panel extension (MV3) that summarizes the current tab and renders streamed Markdown.
• Daemon: add summarize daemon … (localhost server on 127.0.0.1:8787) for extension ↔ CLI integration.
  • Autostart: macOS LaunchAgent, Linux systemd user service, Windows Scheduled Task
  • Token pairing (shared secret)
  • Streaming over SSE
  • Emit finish-line metrics over SSE (panel footer + hover details)
  • Commands: install, status, restart, uninstall, run
• Cache: add SQLite cache for transcripts/extractions/summaries with --no-cache, --cache-stats, --clear-cache + config (cache.enabled/maxMb/ttlDays/path).
  • Finish line shows “Cached” for summary cache hits (CLI + daemon/extension)
  • Daemon/Chrome stream cache status metadata (summaryFromCache)

Features

• YouTube: add --youtube no-auto to skip auto-generated captions and prefer creator-uploaded captions; fall back to yt-dlp transcription (thanks @dougvk!).
• CLI: add transcript → Markdown formatting via --extract --format md --markdown-mode llm (thanks @dougvk!).
• X/Twitter: auto-transcribe tweet videos via yt-dlp, using browser cookies (Chrome → Safari → Firefox) when available; set TWITTER_COOKIE_SOURCE / TWITTER_*_PROFILE to control cookie extraction order.
• Prompt overrides: add --prompt, --prompt-file, and config prompt to replace the default summary instructions.
• Chrome Side Panel: add length + language controls (presets + custom), forwarded to the daemon.
• Daemon API: mode: "auto" accepts both url + extracted page text; daemon picks the best pipeline (YouTube/podcasts/media → URL, otherwise prefer visible page text) with a fallback attempt.
• Daemon/Chrome: stream extra run metadata (inputSummary, modelLabel) over SSE for richer panel status.
• Core: expose lightweight URL helpers at @steipete/summarize-core/content/url (YouTube/Twitter/podcast/direct-media detection).
• Chrome Side Panel: new icon + extension homepage_url set to summarize.sh.
• Providers: add configurable API base URLs (config + env) for OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/xAI (thanks @bunchjesse for the nudge).

Improvements

• Chrome Side Panel: stream SSE from the panel (no MV3 background stalls), use runtime messaging to avoid “disconnected port” errors, and improve auto-summarize de-dupe.
• Chrome Side Panel UI: working status in header + 1px progress line (no layout jump), full-width subtitle, page title in header, idle subtitle shows words/chars (or media duration + words) + model, subtle metrics footer, continuous background, and native highlight/link accents.
• Daemon: prefer the installed env snapshot over launchd’s minimal environment (improves yt-dlp / whisper.cpp PATH reliability, especially for X/Twitter video transcription).
• X/Twitter: cookie handling now delegates to yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser (no sweet-cookie dependency).
• X/Twitter: skip yt-dlp transcript attempts for long-form tweet text (articles).
• Transcripts: show yt-dlp download progress bytes and stabilize totals to prevent bouncing progress bars.
• Finish line: show transcript source labels (YouTube / podcast) without repeating the label.
• Streaming: stop/clear progress UI before first streamed output and avoid leading blank lines on non-TTY stdout.
• URL flow: propagate extracted.truncated into the prompt context so summaries can reflect partial inputs.
• Daemon: unify URL/page summarization with the CLI flows (single code path; keeps extract/cache/model logic in sync).
• Prompts: auto-require Markdown section headings for longer summaries (xl/xxl or large custom lengths).
