CHANGELOG.md

@@ -5,6 +5,67 @@ 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).
 
+## [0.39.0] - 2026-05-22
+### Added
+- **Displays in the Inventory.** A new `core/displays.py` lists each connected monitor with its
+  resolution and current/max refresh — e.g. `DP-1 · Samsung LC34G55T → 3440x1440 @ 165 Hz`. Reads
+  GNOME's Mutter `DisplayConfig` over D-Bus (works on X11 *and* Wayland), falling back to `xrandr`
+  on other X11 desktops.
+- **System Health flags monitors below their max refresh.** If a monitor supports a higher refresh
+  at its current resolution (e.g. a 165 Hz panel set to 60 Hz — an easily-missed gaming setting),
+  Health reports it with the fix (raise it in Display settings). Max is computed at the *current*
+  resolution, so it never suggests dropping resolution.
+
+## [0.38.0] - 2026-05-22
+### Added
+- **PCIe link in the Inventory.** Each NVMe drive now shows its negotiated PCIe link next to the
+  model — e.g. `Samsung SSD 980 PRO 1TB (931.5G) · PCIe Gen4 x4` — read from sysfs
+  (`current/max_link_speed` + width). If a drive negotiates below its capability (a slower M.2
+  slot, lane-sharing, or a downtrain) it's flagged: `PCIe Gen3 x4 (capable of Gen4 x4)`. So you
+  can confirm a Gen4 SSD is actually in a Gen4 slot. (SATA disks show no PCIe link.)
+- **System Health flags downtrained NVMe links.** A new check warns when an NVMe drive negotiates
+  fewer PCIe lanes than it supports (almost always motherboard **lane-sharing** — a GPU/second
+  card or another M.2 stealing lanes) and notes speed-only reductions as info (a slower slot or
+  idle ASPM). The GPU is deliberately excluded — NVIDIA drops its PCIe gen/width at idle, so a
+  snapshot would false-alarm.
+
+## [0.37.1] - 2026-05-22
+### Fixed
+- **`rigdoctor update` now uses the right method for how RigDoctor was installed.** It detects
+  apt (`.deb`), pip (venv/`.run`), or source installs (`updates.install_kind()`); only pip
+  installs self-update in place. An apt install no longer fails with "No module named pip" —
+  it (and the GUI Update button) shows `sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade
+  rigdoctor`; a source checkout points to `git pull`.
+
+## [0.37.0] - 2026-05-22
+### Added
+- **Version footer** — a footer across the bottom of the window shows `RigDoctor v<version>` in
+  the bottom-right (moved out of the sidebar).
+### Fixed
+- **Pages scroll when content doesn't fit, and the window is no longer pinned to the tallest
+  page's height.** Long pages (Settings, Tuning, …) get a scrollbar when too tall — so controls
+  like Uninstall are always reachable — and the window can now be resized smaller than the screen
+  (min height dropped from "taller than the screen" to ~600px). Pages that manage their own
+  scroll/fill (Dashboard, System Health, Inventory, Share) are unchanged.
+
+## [0.36.1] - 2026-05-22
+### Fixed
+- `rigdoctor gui` printed the wrong fix when PySide6 is missing — it suggested the non-existent
+  `python3-pyside6` package. Now it names the real split modules
+  (`python3-pyside6.qt{widgets,gui,websockets,svg}` + `python3-pyte`).
+
+## [0.36.0] - 2026-05-22
+### Fixed
+- **`.deb` now installs all dependencies automatically — no manual tool install.** The previous
+  `Recommends: python3-pyside6` named a package that doesn't exist on Debian/Ubuntu (PySide6 is
+  split per module), so apt silently skipped it and the GUI wouldn't start. Now it Recommends the
+  actual modules the GUI imports — `python3-pyside6.qt{widgets,gui,websockets,svg}` + `python3-pyte`.
+### Changed
+- **`apt install rigdoctor` sets up the whole toolset.** The `.deb` also Recommends the optional
+  diagnostic/gaming tools (smartmontools, lm-sensors, dmidecode, pciutils, libnotify-bin,
+  libsecret-tools, gamemode, mangohud) so they install by default — users never hand-install
+  tools. `cpupower` is a Suggests (kernel-tied); `--no-install-recommends` still gives CLI-only.
+
 ## [0.35.0] - 2026-05-22

-## Why this exists
+## Features
 
-Linux gaming hardware faults are hard to diagnose: GPUs falling off the PCIe bus, the screen
+- **Live monitoring** — a dark desktop **dashboard** (history graphs + per-subsystem cards), a
-suddenly going black mid-game, silent thermal/VRAM throttling, power transients,
+  **tray applet** with at-a-glance status, and a terminal view (`rigdoctor monitor`).
-driver/library mismatches, Proton quirks, and CPU governor / power-profile misconfiguration.

+  errors, throttling…) and explains them with suggested fixes.
+- **Per-game diagnostics** — pick a game, capture while you play, get a focused report; hard
+  crashes are detected and analysed on next launch.
+- **Gaming tune-ups** — flags risky settings (CPU governor, PCIe ASPM, persistence mode…) with
+  **one-click, reversible fixes**.
+- **Proactive alerts** — desktop notifications on overheating and critical kernel events

+- **AI explanations** *(optional, opt-in)* — explain a diagnostic in plain language with a
+  **local model (Ollama)** or **Claude**. Never automatic; only when you press the button.
+- **Shareable reports** — zip a diagnostic (logs, inventory, AI transcript) to hand to someone,
+  or share a live **terminal session** for remote help.
+- **Self-updating** — `apt upgrade`, or the in-app updater.
 
-RigDoctor pulls all of that into one modular tool: live monitoring, crash-safe logging, a
+## Screenshots
-one-shot health report, and an interactive installer that only sets up the modules a given
-user actually needs for their hardware.
 
-**Seed use cases:** an RTX 3070 that intermittently "falls off the bus" under heavy GPU load

-(Path of Exile on Linux, Escape from Tarkov on Windows), and a monitor going black mid-game.

-## How you run it
+**Share** — a read-only or interactive terminal session over the relay, for remote help:
 
-RigDoctor is **GUI-first** — the desktop app is the primary way in — but every feature is
+![Share — shared terminal session](assets/screenshots/share.png)
-also available headless:
-- **Desktop GUI** — graphical dashboard, recording controls, log browser, reports. The
-  default interface for most users.
-- **Tray applet** — a small top-menu-bar applet with quick actions and at-a-glance status.
-- **CLI** — full functionality from the terminal; works over SSH and in scripts.
 
-The GUI/tray are optional modules; a headless (CLI-only) install loses no capability.
+## Install
 
-## Key decisions (settled)
+### Debian / Ubuntu — `.deb`
 
-| Topic | Decision |
+The simplest path: grab the latest **`rigdoctor_<version>_all.deb`** from the
-|-------|----------|
+[releases page](https://git.jesseyvanofferen.com/jessey/rigdoctor/releases) and install it —
-| Name | **RigDoctor** |
+apt pulls the GUI dependencies (PySide6, pyte) automatically:
-| Language / stack | **Python 3 + Qt (PySide6)** — core/CLI/daemon stdlib-only; Qt only for GUI/tray |
-| Primary distro | **Ubuntu** (Debian via apt); others best-effort later |
-| Primary GPU | **NVIDIA** first; AMD, then Intel later |
-| MVP | **Sensor core + crash logger + health report** (NVIDIA-only, CLI-first) |
-| Distribution | **User-local install** (self-updating from the public repo, no root); **`.deb`** optional |
-| Scope of action | **Read-only + suggestions** (no auto-apply yet) |
-| Stress tests | **Out of scope** |
-
-Full rationale and the still-open questions are in `docs/DECISIONS.md`.
-
-## Repo layout
-
-| Path | Purpose |
-|------|---------|
-| `docs/SPEC.md` | Product specification — vision, requirements, modules (the main planning doc) |
-| `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` | Technical design — core engine, front-ends, daemon, installer |
-| `docs/MODULES.md` | Catalog of modules with scope, dependencies, status |
-| `docs/ROADMAP.md` | Phased milestones |
-| `docs/DECISIONS.md` | Decision log + remaining open questions |
-| `src/rigdoctor/` | Source code — `core/` engine + sources, `cli.py`, `render.py` |
-| `installer/` | Installer / `.deb` packaging (empty until Phase 4) |
-| `tests/` | Tests (stdlib `unittest`) |
-
-## Install (user-local, no root)
-
-RigDoctor installs into a private venv under `~/.local` — no root, self-updating:
 
 ```bash
-./install.sh                 # from a source checkout or the self-extracting .run
+sudo apt install ./rigdoctor_*_all.deb        # CLI only: add --no-install-recommends
-./install.sh --ref v0.0.6    # install a specific released tag (needs a token)
-./install.sh --uninstall     # remove it
 ```
 
-This adds `rigdoctor` / `rigdoctor-gui` to `~/.local/bin` and a desktop entry. Each release
+**Or add the apt repository** for `apt install` + automatic updates (the registry is public and
-also ships a one-file **`.run`** installer (download, `chmod +x`, run). Updates are gated to
+GPG-signed — no token needed):
-accounts on the Git server (a Personal Access Token); save one via the GUI **Setup → Update
-access** panel or `rigdoctor login`, then `rigdoctor update` (or the sidebar button).
-
-## Install (`.deb`, system-wide)
-
-Each release also ships a **`.deb`** (`Architecture: all`, M9/D8). Download it from the release
-and install with apt (pulls the GUI deps — PySide6/pyte — via Recommends):
 
 ```bash
-sudo apt install ./rigdoctor_<version>_all.deb     # CLI-only: add --no-install-recommends
+sudo curl https://git.jesseyvanofferen.com/api/packages/jessey/debian/repository.key -o /etc/apt/keyrings/gitea-jessey.asc
+echo "deb [arch=all signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/gitea-jessey.asc] https://git.jesseyvanofferen.com/api/packages/jessey/debian stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gitea.list
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install rigdoctor
 ```
 
-When the apt registry is enabled on the server, you can instead add it as a source and
+Then `sudo apt upgrade` keeps it current.
-`sudo apt update && sudo apt install rigdoctor` (with `apt upgrade` for updates):
+
+Then `sudo apt upgrade` keeps it current.
+
+### Any distro — self-extracting `.run` (no root)
+
+Download **`rigdoctor-<version>-installer.run`** from the releases page and run it. It installs
+into a private virtualenv under `~/.local` (no root), adds the launchers + desktop entry, and
+opens the first-run setup wizard:
 
 ```bash
-curl -fsSL https://git.jesseyvanofferen.com/api/packages/jessey/debian/repository.key \
+sh rigdoctor-*-installer.run
-  | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/gitea-rigdoctor.asc > /dev/null
-echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/gitea-rigdoctor.asc] \
-  https://git.jesseyvanofferen.com/api/packages/jessey/debian stable main" \
-  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rigdoctor.list
 ```
 
-## Run it (dev)
+### Updating & removing
 
-Stdlib-only, no install needed (target is Python ≥ 3.11; tested on 3.14):
+- **`.deb`:** `sudo apt upgrade` (or reinstall a newer `.deb`).
+- **`.run` / user-local:** the in-app **Update** button, or `rigdoctor update`.
+- **Remove:** `sudo apt remove rigdoctor`, or `rigdoctor uninstall` for the user-local install.
+
+## Using it
+
+Launch **RigDoctor** from your app menu, or:
 
 ```bash
-PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m rigdoctor snapshot     # one-shot sensor read
+rigdoctor-gui          # desktop app (+ tray)
-PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m rigdoctor snapshot --json
+rigdoctor --help       # everything from the terminal (works over SSH)
-PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m rigdoctor monitor -n 1 # live view (Ctrl-C to quit)
-PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m rigdoctor sources       # list detected sensor sources
-PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m unittest discover -s tests
 ```
 
-### Crash-capture logger (M3)
+Handy CLI commands:
-
-A crash-safe background logger (JSONL, `fsync` per sample, bounded by rotation) for catching
-the state right before a freeze:
 
 ```bash
-rigdoctor record start          # start logging in the background
+rigdoctor snapshot              # one-shot reading of every sensor
-rigdoctor record status         # is it running? latest readings, sample count
+rigdoctor monitor              # live terminal dashboard
-rigdoctor record stop           # stop it
+rigdoctor report               # health report (logs / SMART / driver)
-rigdoctor record report         # post-crash summary: peaks, events, last samples
+rigdoctor diagnose start|finish # capture while gaming, then analyse
-rigdoctor record run            # run in the foreground (the systemd-ready entrypoint)
+rigdoctor gameenv              # flag risky gaming settings + fixes
+rigdoctor inventory            # hardware/OS inventory
+rigdoctor ai explain           # AI explanation of the current findings (opt-in)
+rigdoctor bundle               # zip the latest diagnostic into a shareable report
 ```
 
-Logs live in `~/.local/share/rigdoctor/logs/`. It detects GPU "lost"/hang (nvidia-smi query
+## Requirements
-timeout) and writes an event marker. Trigger modes (always-on / game-launch) and the
-`systemd --user` service arrive in Phase 4.
 
-### Desktop GUI (M10)
+- **Linux** — Ubuntu/Debian first-class (the `.deb`); the `.run` works on any distro with
+  Python ≥ 3.11.
+- **GPU** — NVIDIA fully supported (via `nvidia-smi`); AMD/Intel sensors are best-effort.
+- **CLI/daemon** need only Python 3 (stdlib). The **GUI/tray** add **PySide6** (`python3-pyside6`).
+- Optional tools unlock more: `smartmontools`, `lm-sensors`, `gamemode`, `mangohud`. The setup
+  wizard offers to install them.
 
-The GUI uses PySide6 (Qt) — the only part of RigDoctor that needs a non-stdlib dep:
+## Privacy
+
+Everything stays on your machine — no telemetry, no phone-home. The AI assistant is **off by
+default** and runs only when you explicitly trigger it; with Ollama nothing leaves the machine,
+and the Claude option asks before sending. Reports are local files; they leave only if you share
+the zip.
+
+## Development
+
+RigDoctor's core is stdlib-only Python; the GUI/tray use PySide6.
 
 ```bash
-pip install -e '.[gui]'   # core + PySide6, gives `rigdoctor` and `rigdoctor-gui`
+git clone https://git.jesseyvanofferen.com/jessey/rigdoctor && cd rigdoctor
-rigdoctor gui             # or: rigdoctor-gui
+pip install -e ".[gui]"                    # core + GUI; omit [gui] for CLI-only
+python -m unittest discover -s tests       # run the test suite
+PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m rigdoctor snapshot   # run without installing
 ```
 
-It opens a dark-themed window with sidebar navigation and a **live dashboard** over the
+Design docs live in `docs/` — `SPEC.md` (vision/requirements), `ARCHITECTURE.md`,
-same sensor core — circular gauges for the headline metrics plus collapsible per-subsystem
+`MODULES.md` (module catalog), `ROADMAP.md`, and `DECISIONS.md` (the decision log).
-cards (GPU/CPU/memory/storage) with temperature-colored values (icey-blue → green → red).
+Contributions: branch off `main`, keep tests green (CI runs them on PRs), and bump the version
-The **Logs** and **Health** sections are full pages (recording controls + post-crash report;
++ `CHANGELOG.md` for shipped changes.
-and the kernel-log / SMART / driver scan). **Inventory** is a placeholder until M5 lands.
-
-Without the GUI extra, `pip install -e .` gives just the stdlib-only CLI.
-
-## Start here
-
-1. Read `docs/SPEC.md` for what we're building.
-2. Read `docs/ROADMAP.md` for the build order (Phase 1 = the MVP).
-3. Read `docs/DECISIONS.md` for the settled decisions (D1–D15).
