Boring-Gemini V15.1.0 (Smart Wizard & Ecosystem)

Release Date: 2026-01-18

Goal: Decentralized, Serverless, Free.

Decentralized Plugins: New boring install <git-url> allows installing extensions directly from GitHub or local .boring-pack files.
Cognitive Packs: Defined .boring-pack format to bundle Tools, Workflows, Prompts, and Knowledge into a single portable zip.
Knowledge Sharing: Added boring brain export & import to transfer Agent learning (ChromaDB) between teammates.
Serverless Collaboration: New boring sync command orchestrates GitOps flows to synchronize SQLite project state without a server.
Release Automation: boring publish simplifies the versioning and tagging process for pack creators.

Goal: Elevate UX from "Frustrating" to "Delightful" (Anti-Keyboard-Smash Index: 5/5).

Visual Progress: Added a rich spinner to flow run with step counting (e.g., Step 5/50: Architect).
Cost Awareness: Added API cost warnings when execution exceeds threshold (25 steps / ~$5).
Explicit Feedback: Architect & Builder now output absolute paths for generated files (implementation_plan.md, task.md) to avoid "Where is it?" confusion.
Task Tracking: Builder displays granular task progress (e.g., 任務進度: 3/10).

Goal Validator: New GoalValidator prevents "hallucinated plans" by verifying request feasibility against project structure (e.g., warning if asking for Vue.js in a pure Python project).
Smart Stop: Added MAX_CONSECUTIVE_FAILURES check to prevent infinite failure loops.

Interruption Checkpoints: Added interactive checkpoints every 10 steps to allow users to pause or stop long-running flows safely.
Robust File Locking: Enhanced TransactionalFileWriter with adaptive retries (increased delay) to handle Windows file locking (AV/Editor conflicts).
Friendly Errors: Expanded ErrorTranslator to cover WinError 32, UnicodeDecodeError, JSONDecodeError, and RecursionError with actionable advice.

Auto Mode Support: Propagated auto_mode flag to FlowContext to enable headless testing and automation.

Streaming Support: Implemented GeminiProvider.generate_stream and ArchitectNode UI feedback ("Thinking...") to reduce user anxiety during long generation tasks.
State Serialization: Added StateSerializer to save flow state (.boring/checkpoints/latest.json). Triggered automatically on interruption, enabling future resume capabilities.
