Merge pull request 'refactor(gui): grouped navigation + clearer page names — 0.20.0' (#16) from feat/m11-tray into main

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -5,6 +5,73 @@ All notable changes to RigDoctor are recorded here. Format follows
 (`MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`, pre-1.0). `__version__` and `pyproject.toml` must match the git
 release tag (so the auto-updater, D18, can compare versions).
 
+## [0.20.0] - 2026-05-22
+### Changed
+- **Reorganized navigation** into grouped sidebar sections — **Monitor** (Dashboard) ·
+  **Diagnose** (Games, Recordings, System Health, Tuning) · **System** (Inventory) · **App**
+  (Settings, Share) — so it's clear where to go.
+- **Renames for clarity:** *Health → System Health* (it's the overall 7-day system scan, not
+  per-game), *Environment → Tuning* (gaming tunables + fixes), *Logs → Recordings*,
+  *Setup → Settings*.
+- **Settings** absorbed **Notifications** (alerts) — app configuration (components/deps, alerts,
+  account access, uninstall) now lives in one page; Notifications is no longer a separate item.
+- **Recordings** is now a hub: pick which captured log to view (always-on capture, last
+  diagnostic, or a preserved crash), **Analyze crash** in place, alongside the recorder controls.
+
+## [0.19.0] - 2026-05-22
+### Added
+- **System-tray applet (M11, D13).** A tray icon whose menu shows live **CPU / GPU temp** and
+  **memory used/total**, a **status line** (Normal / Hot / GPU not responding), and is led by a
+  **Run Diagnostic** submenu (pick a detected game → the guided session), plus **Open dashboard**,
+  **Start/Stop recording**, **Snapshot (copy)**, and **Quit**. It reuses the dashboard's sample
+  stream (no extra sampling). With a tray present, **closing the window hides to the tray** (Quit
+  exits); `rigdoctor-gui --tray` starts hidden for autostart. Needs a tray host — on GNOME the
+  AppIndicator extension; degrades to a no-op if none is available. Completes the Desktop UI bundle.
+- **GUI smoke tests**: construct `MainWindow` headless and exercise the tray, so a startup crash
+  fails the build (closes the gap that let the 0.18.0 import regression ship).
+
+## [0.18.2] - 2026-05-22
+### Fixed
+- **GUI wouldn't start** (0.18.0 regression): the recording indicator used a wrong relative
+  import (`from .core` → `rigdoctor.gui.core`, which doesn't exist), crashing `MainWindow` on
+  launch. Corrected to `from ..core`.
+
+## [0.18.1] - 2026-05-22
+### Changed
+- Recording badge: dropped the sample count (not useful at a glance) — it now shows just
+  **● Recording** + the game, plus a **⚠ GPU-lost** line if one is detected.
+
+## [0.18.0] - 2026-05-22
+### Added
+- **Global recording indicator.** While a capture is running, the sidebar shows a red
+  **● Recording** badge on every page — with the **game** being captured and the live sample
+  count (and a GPU-lost flag if seen). It polls the recorder, so it reflects captures started
+  any way: manual `record`, a guided diagnostic, or the Steam launch wrapper.
+
+## [0.17.0] - 2026-05-22
+### Added
+- **Inventory page is back in the GUI** (it was removed in 0.7.2 in favor of the CLI). Sidebar
+  **Inventory** → System / CPU / Firmware / Memory / GPU / Storage / Display as cards, with
+  **Copy Markdown** and **Save…** for pasting into forum/bug reports, and **Refresh**. Root-only
+  details (motherboard/BIOS/RAM modules via dmidecode) fill in after the launch password prompt.
+  Backed by the existing M5 `core/inventory.py` — the CLI `rigdoctor inventory` is unchanged.
+
+## [0.16.0] - 2026-05-22
+### Added
+- **Automatic crash-capture via a Steam launch wrapper (M6/D12).** Set `rigdoctor wrap
+  %command%` as a game's Steam launch option (or in Lutris/Heroic's wrapper field) and RigDoctor
+  starts a focused, game-tagged capture when the game launches and stops it cleanly on exit — no
+  manual Run Diagnostic / Finish. A hard freeze leaves the capture unterminated, so it's flagged
+  as a crash next launch. The wrapper resolves the game name from Steam's `SteamAppId`, doesn't
+  disturb an existing capture, and returns the game's exit code. (`core/wrap.py`, `rigdoctor wrap`.)
+- GUI **Auto-capture…** helper on the Games page: shows the exact launch-option line (absolute
+  path, copy button) and how to set it in Steam.
+- Auto-capture preserves an unanalyzed crash (`diagnostic-crash.jsonl`) before starting a new
+  capture, so relaunching the game can't wipe a crash report you haven't seen yet.
+### Fixed
+- `docs/MODULES.md` status column was stale — M1, M3, M4, M5, M8, M10, and M13 are done and now
+  marked ✅ (only M2 and M11 remain not-started; M6/M9/M12 in progress).
+
 ## [0.15.0] - 2026-05-22
 ### Added
 - **Hard-crash detection & recovery for the guided diagnostic.** If a focused capture ends

+
+A QSystemTrayIcon whose menu shows at-a-glance CPU/GPU temp + memory and a status dot, led
+by **Run Diagnostic** (the guided session), plus Open dashboard / Start-Stop recording /
+Snapshot / Quit. It consumes the same sample stream as the dashboard (no extra sampling) and
+drives the existing MainWindow flows — one engine, another front-end.
