02 · RELEASE NOTES

What changed

wisp-science v0.16.0 introduces an AI-first script workflow with persistent Python/R runtime bindings, selected-code execution, live variables, a bounded console, and conversation-driven source edits. It also adds side-by-side document chat, richer PDF/DOCX/Markdown/notebook previews, confirmed image-region attachments, common local Files operations, SSH file previews, safer manual retry behavior for SSH failures, and direct pet navigation to sessions that need attention.

What's changed

  • Bind .py and .R previews to persistent runtimes, expose variables and console output, and execute only selected code.
  • Route source changes through the adjacent AI conversation; verified edit / write operations refresh the open preview immediately.
  • Add side-by-side document chat, PDF navigation and text annotations, offline DOCX rendering, immutable Markdown previews, safe rich notebook outputs, and confirmed image crops.
  • Add local file creation, folder creation, rename, delete, and refresh; preview or explicitly download SSH files without enabling remote mutation.
  • Stop unsafe automatic SSH retry loops, use IdentitiesOnly for batch SSH/SCP, and improve source preview, IME, panel, model editor, pet navigation, and test timing reliability.
