What shipped.

The weekly strip comes from docs/STATUS.md — verified on real hardware, not aspirational. Release notes are pulled live from GitHub, unedited.

This week

  • Aug 3The [lisa] pacman repo is live and signed — add one Server= line and install lisa-desktop, lisa-apps, lisa-cli on any Arch machine
  • Aug 3v20260802.63: the browser left the image (−363 MiB) — Zen now updates from the apps channel in minutes, no reboot; real semantic search shipped (nomic-embed-text-v1.5 behind lisa context, named in every Ledger row)
  • Aug 2The split: lisa-desktop (Shell surfaces + IME, becoming a hard fork of GNOME Shell — ADR-0038), lisa-apps (Mail, Surfer, Preview), lisa-packages (the index) — full history preserved, each building its own package (ADR-0039)
  • Aug 2Design tokens: branding/tokens.json is the one source for every surface color, enforced by a lint gate — the fourth violet is now a red build, not a review comment
  • Aug 1Preview app: images + PDF, Space-to-Quick-Look in Files (NautilusPreviewer2), MCP agent surface; Mail renders HTML, groups multi-account folders, and composes replies/forwards (RFC-correct threading)

  • Jul 25Assistant chat verified end-to-end on the field iMac — streamed, ledgered, live model picker; Stop, Markdown export, history across restarts
