v0.5.0 — 2026-05-02

Three release trains roll into one tag — backup/restore + LastPass import (originally v0.3.0), device authentication (originally v0.4.0), and the v0.5.0 polish + harden bundle (security fixes + UX fixes + two confirmed bugs).

Security

• Pre-receive hook now actually verifies signatures (audit S1, HIGH). Earlier relicario-server builds accepted any commit with a Good signature line on stderr regardless of which key signed it — device-auth was a no-op. The hook now builds an allowed_signers file from devices.json at the commit (via GIT_CONFIG_* env, no global git-config mutation), parses the SSH SHA-256 fingerprint out of git verify-commit --raw stderr, and rejects unregistered keys or revoked keys whose committer-date is at or after the revocation timestamp. Bootstrap mode is preserved only when both devices.json AND revoked.json are empty (closes an empty-devices.json privilege-escalation route).
• Backup-restore tar unpacking hardened (audit S2). relicario backup restore no longer trusts tar::Archive::unpack's defaults. A new relicario_core::safe_unpack_git_archive validates each entry's path components (rejects .., absolute paths, Windows drive prefixes), rejects symlinks/hardlinks, and caps total uncompressed size at the lower of 100×compressed-bytes or 1 GiB. The CLI restore path adds a paranoid dest.starts_with(.git/) check after path-joining as defense-in-depth.
• RELICARIO_* env-var surface audited (audit S3). docs/SECURITY.md gains a per-variable trust table. RELICARIO_NO_GROUPS_CACHE (a developer escape hatch, not a user knob) is now cfg(debug_assertions)-gated and is a no-op in --release builds; the env-var lookup is removed from the binary by the optimiser.

Fixed

• Strength meter no longer goes stale after the regenerate button (B1). Programmatic input.value = newPassword doesn't fire input events; the regenerate handler now dispatches a synthetic InputEvent('input', { bubbles: true }) so the meter listener re-rates the new value.
• Snake_case error codes no longer leak into the UI (B2 / P4). Errors like vault_locked, origin_mismatch, unauthorized_sender used to render verbatim in the fullscreen vault tab and (in some cases) the popup. New extension/src/shared/error-copy.ts central registry maps every service-worker error code to friendly title/body/CTA copy; the popup and fullscreen tab consume the same map. The fullscreen lock screen's vault_locked block now reads Vault locked / Unlock your vault to continue. / [Unlock vault]. A generated test enumerates the live error codes via grep so the registry can't drift.

Added

• Sidebar logo in the fullscreen vault tab. The vault-sidebar__header now renders the 16-optimized SVG logo inline before the "Relicario" wordmark (20×20 px, flex-shrink: 0 so it survives narrow-pane wraps). Popup unaffected.
• Password coloring (P1). Revealed passwords in the popup item-detail, fullscreen item view, field-history viewer, and generator preview render digits and symbols in distinct colors. Defaults: blue digits, red symbols. Users can override via the new Display section in settings (color pickers + live preview swatch + reset). Defaults round-trip via chrome.storage.sync.password_display_scheme; cross-device when Chrome sync is enabled.
• Setup wizard hands off to the fullscreen vault tab on completion (P2). Both create-new and attach-existing flows now open vault.html in a new tab and best-effort close the setup tab after device registration succeeds — replaces the prior setup-tab-stays-open terminal screen.
• Sync now button in the extension settings view — surfaces the previously hidden { type: 'sync' } SW message to users with success / error feedback.
• Device registration from the popup. The "Register this device" button on the devices view now opens an inline name input and (on confirm) generates a keypair via WASM, persists the private key + name locally, and writes the device to the remote — no setup-wizard detour. Backed by a new register_this_device SW message.
• relicario settings generator-defaults — view-and-edit access to the generator defaults stored in VaultSettings. Flags: --random / --bip39 to switch mode, --length, --words, --symbols, --separator to update fields of the active mode.
• relicario edit now supports TOTP items. Issuer, label, and secret rotation work; rotated secrets are pushed to field_history (key: core:totp_secret).
• relicario history <query> — view captured field history. Values are masked by default; --show reveals them; --field <name> filters to one synthetic key (e.g. login_password, totp_secret).
• relicario detach <query> <aid> — remove an individual attachment from an item. Refuses to drop a Document item's primary attachment (use purge instead).
• relicario status — vault summary: root path, item count (active / trashed), attachment count + total bytes, registered device count, last commit (%h %s).
• Backup & restore. New relicario backup export <out.relbak> and relicario backup restore <in.relbak> [<dir>] commands. The .relbak format is a single encrypted file: Argon2id-derived key from a user-chosen backup passphrase (independent of the vault factor), XChaCha20-Poly1305 ciphertext, zstd-compressed JSON envelope. Reference image and .git/ history are opt-in inclusions (--include-image, --no-history).
• Vault-tab Backup & Restore panel. Export downloads the .relbak via chrome.downloads. Restore takes a file + backup passphrase + new-remote config and writes the vault into a fresh empty repo (refuses to clobber existing). Git history is never bundled from the extension — CLI is the source of full backups.
• LastPass CSV import. New relicario import lastpass <csv> command + vault-tab Import panel (vault.html#import). Logins map to Login items; rows with url == "http://sn" map to SecureNote (extra column → body verbatim, structured data preserved as-is for manual re-categorization). TOTP secrets in the totp column are base32-decoded into LoginCore.totp; bad base32 surfaces a warning and the login is imported without TOTP. Failed rows (missing name, missing password on a login) are skipped with a per-row warning. Each row gets a freshly-minted ID — re-running the import creates duplicates rather than corrupting state.
• Popup deep link to the Import panel. settings-vault gains an "import" section with a LastPass CSV → button next to the existing Backup & restore → button.
• relicario status shows last export age. New Last export: <human-readable> line reading .relicario/last_backup (a marker file cmd_backup_export writes on success). Reads "never" for fresh vaults, "4 days ago" otherwise.

Changed

• Form layout in the fullscreen vault tab is now visually consistent (P3). Notes, custom-fields disclosure, attachments disclosure, and form-actions in fullscreen logins now sit inside a .form-lower wrapper with the same max-width: 960px; margin: 0 auto envelope as the .form-grid cards above. Removes the visual rhythm break at the 2-col → full-width transition. The popup surface is unchanged.
• Documentation refreshed for v0.5.0 (doc audit, 14 findings). docs/architecture/overview.md now describes four codebases (the relicario-server pre-receive hook crate is no longer invisible); CLAUDE.md project tree and roadmap reflect current state; docs/SECURITY.md names the server crate and its verify-commit / generate-hook subcommands and notes the without-the-hook-it's- advisory caveat; docs/ARCHITECTURE.md shows settings.enc as a parallel artifact in the vault-creation flow; the foundational design spec gains a "historical" status banner pointing readers at the current docs.
• relicario generate now consults VaultSettings.generator_defaults when invoked inside an initialized vault. Explicit flags (--length, --bip39, --words, --symbols, --separator) override the vault default. Outside a vault, behavior is unchanged (length 20, safe symbol set, 5 BIP39 words, space separator).

Known limitations

• Mid-restore failure leaves the target remote in a half-written state. cmd_backup_restore and the vault-tab Restore panel both write artifacts sequentially via writeFileCreateOnly. If the process is interrupted partway, a retry against the same remote refuses to clobber. Workaround: delete the partial repo and retry.
• Cross-tool backup compatibility. CLI-exported backups stored attachments at <item_id>/<aid>.enc; extension stores at flat <aid>.bin. The .relbak envelope canonicalizes to <item_id>/<aid> keys and each tool translates at the boundary. Round-trip works in both directions.

Internal

• 5 stale local feature branches and 3 worktrees pruned (audit C1).
• Pre-existing clippy warnings cleaned up across relicario-{core,cli} (deref operators, Option::is_none_or over map_or(true, ...), iter_mut().enumerate() patterns, div_ceil()) so the workspace builds clean under -D warnings.
• Cargo.lock regenerated and committed; was stale since the --totp-qr commit.
• Refactored cmd_add and cmd_edit in the CLI: each ItemCore variant now has its own build_*_item / edit_* helper. Pure mechanical extraction; behavior unchanged. The dispatcher matches and delegates.
• Extracted pure helpers (escapeHtml, ratePassphrase, scheduleRate, entropyText, STRENGTH_LABELS) from extension/src/setup/setup.ts into setup-helpers.ts. State-coupled updateStrengthUi stays in setup.ts since it walks live wizard state. Setup.ts went from 1205 → 1137 lines.

v0.2.0 — 2026-04-27

Fixed

• Setup wizard could silently overwrite an existing vault. Pointing the wizard at a remote that already contained a Relicario vault would clobber manifest.enc, .relicario/salt, and friends with no warning. The wizard now probes the remote after the connection test and refuses to create a new vault on top of an existing one. Affected users whose vault was wiped by this bug should restore from the git history of the affected repo (git log + git checkout <pre-init-sha> -- .).
• New devices registered during initial setup were silently dropped. The wizard's Step 5 fired add_device over a service-worker channel that required an unlocked vault, which is unavailable mid-wizard. Device pubkeys now write directly to .relicario/devices.json from the wizard.
• Wizard-created vaults were missing settings.enc. The CLI's init writes a default-VaultSettings settings.enc alongside manifest.enc, but the wizard skipped it, causing every get_vault_settings SW call to 404. The wizard now encrypts and writes settings.enc using a new default_vault_settings_json WASM helper that keeps defaults in sync with Rust core.

Added

• Attach this device to an existing vault — purely from the GUI. New Step 0 mode picker splits the wizard into "create new vault" and "attach this device." The attach path takes a passphrase + reference image, fetches the existing manifest, verifies the credentials by decrypting it, and only then registers a new device key. No CLI required for multi-device setup.
• GitHost.lastCommit(path) and GitHost.writeFileCreateOnly(path, ...).
• default_vault_settings_json() WASM export.

v0.1.0 — 2026-04-22
