02 · RELEASE NOTES

What changed

wisp-science v0.16.1 adds keyring-backed SSH password authentication, requires a successful probe before an SSH host can be used by the Agent, stops repeated managed login attempts after connectivity/authentication failures, and provides actionable host-edit and re-probe guidance. It also adds custom keyring-backed credentials exposed to new local Python/MCP processes, immutable DOCX/BibTeX message-resource previews, and consistent tab styling across the workspace.

What's changed

  • Add SSH key/agent and OS-keyring password authentication modes for registered hosts.
  • Require a known-good probe and route managed remote tools through the saved host configuration; block free-form shell ssh / scp.
  • Fail fast after SSH connectivity or authentication errors and guide users to edit the host and explicitly re-probe.
  • Show live probe progress and classify password, key, network, host-key, and restricted-shell failures; missing optional uname/architecture/hostname data no longer fails an otherwise usable SSH connection.
  • Add an explicit per-host Edit action and make Escape close only the topmost SSH/host dialog.
  • Add custom credentials with validated environment-variable mappings; secret values never enter SQLite and are not copied to SSH/WSL hosts.
  • Bind local DOCX and BibTeX references to immutable artifact versions and unify active tab styling.
