 # Changelog
 
+## [0.5.27] - 2026-08-22
+
+### Added
+
+- hoocode can answer questions about itself. The startup banner already promised
+  "hoocode can explain its own features and look up its docs", but nothing put a
+  docs path into model context — `getDocsPath()`'s only caller printed paths to
+  the human on an auth failure. The agent could not find them on its own either:
+  its cwd is your project, so searching there turns up your docs, never
+  hoocode's.
+
+  The system prompt now lists the shipped docs (~215 tokens, filenames only),
+  and a `SearchHooCode` tool retrieves them at the heading level, returning a
+  file path and line number to read. It also indexes the session's skills,
+  slash commands, and subagents, so "what can you do?" has one place that
+  answers it. MCP tools remain with `ResolveMcpTools`.
+
+- New documentation for features that had none: `plugins.md` (marketplaces,
+  the trust model, plugin formats), `mcp.md` (server config, transports,
+  deferred schemas), `modes.md` (ask/plan/build/debug and the plan → grill →
+  approve → goal workflow), and `canvas.md`. `usage.md` gains the 13 slash
+  commands that were shipping undocumented, including `/plugin`, `/mode`,
+  `/loop`, `/canvas`, `/cost`, and the `/new-*` scaffolds, plus the 12 CLI
+  flags that were missing from the reference — the optional tool bundles
+  (`--enable-todowrite`, `--enable-webtools`, `--enable-search-tool`,
+  `--enable-plugintools`), the subagent flags, `--light`,
+  `--print-token-surface`, `--platform`, `--team`, and `--disallowed-tools`.
+  Every slash command and CLI flag hoocode accepts is now documented.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Capability search could not match a plural: a query for "theme" missed a
+  heading reading "Themes". Singular forms are now indexed alongside the
+  originals, so exact tool names still match exactly.
+
+- Capability search ranked on question filler. "how do I add a custom theme"
+  was won by a section matching "add" and "how" over the one titled "Creating a
+  Custom Theme". Function words are now dropped from queries.
+
+- The dense capability index is a shared store keyed on a content hash, but the
+  MCP loader seeded it from only its own tools, evicting any other producer's
+  vectors. It now seeds from the full registered set.
+
+- Corrected the global config directory throughout the docs. Paths were written
+  as `~/.pi/agent/` or `~/.hoocode/agent/`; the real directory is `~/.hoocode`,
+  with no `agent/` segment. Every global path — `settings.json`,
+  `keybindings.json`, `auth.json`, `sessions/`, `skills/`, `extensions/`,
+  `themes/` — pointed somewhere that does not exist.
+
+## [0.5.26] - 2026-08-21
+
+### Added
+
+- `/new-canvas` now takes a description, not just a name, and builds what you
+  describe. `/new-canvas a kanban board for the release checklist` scaffolds the
+  extension, derives and reports a directory name, opens the canvas, and hands
+  the agent a brief to build it — you steer it like any other turn. The old
+  shapes still work: `/new-canvas my-board` gives you the template to edit by
+  hand and starts no build, and `/new-canvas my-board: <description>` lets you
+  name it yourself.
+
+- `/canvas reload [extension]` and a `reload_canvas` tool, so a canvas can be
+  changed while you are looking at it. Editing an extension's code used to do
+  nothing at all while it was open — the running process was forked from the old
+  code, so neither the open page nor a newly opened second instance saw the
+  change, and the only way to see one was to restart the session. Now the agent
+  reloads after each edit and the new capability is immediately callable.
+
+  The new code is forked and asked for its declarations *before* the old process
+  is stopped, so an edit that does not run leaves the canvas you are looking at
+  exactly as it was and reports the error. Instances keep their ids and the input
+  they were opened with, but each gets a **new url** — the extension binds a new
+  port and mints a new token on every open — so the previous browser tab is dead
+  and the replacement url is printed.
+
+- An arrow-key games canvas, hoocode's first canvas of its own, at
+  `.agents/extensions/arrow-key-games/`. Open it with
+  `/canvas open arrow-key-games`. Snake and a randomly carved Maze are
+  yours alone; **Duel** is a turn-based coin race you play against the model —
+  you move with the arrow keys, it moves through `invoke_canvas_action`, and the
+  board updates live for both of you. It was built by running
+  `/new-canvas create lightweight games that can be played with keyboard arrow keys`
+  and iterating with `reload_canvas`, which is what the two entries above are for.
+
+- `/canvas rename <extension> <new-name>` and `/canvas remove <extension>`. A
+  canvas's name lives in four places — the directory (which *is* the extension
+  id), the canvas's own `id`, its `displayName`, and its header comment — and
+  getting the `id` wrong by hand drops the canvas you are looking at on the next
+  reload. Rename does all of it at once, closes what was open first, and prints
+  every line it rewrote. It only touches a string that is *entirely* the old
+  name, so a sentence mentioning the canvas is reported rather than rewritten.
+  Remove asks before deleting, refuses when there is no surface to ask on, and
+  both refuse a canvas that came from a plugin, pointing at `/plugin` instead.
+
+- Reloading now reports which actions the edit **added, removed or changed**, so
+  writing a new action tells you whether the host can see it. Previously a typo
+  inside `actions: [...]` failed silently — the action just was not there.
+  "Nothing changed" is reported too, since silence reads as success.
+
+- `/canvas list` names the actions of each open canvas. They were visible only to
+  the model, so the person steering the session could not see the surface they
+  were being asked about.
+
+### Changed
+
+- `/new-canvas` moved from the `/new-*` scaffold family to the canvas surface. It
+  is no longer a file-writing command: it opens what it creates and drives the
+  agent loop.
+
+- `/new-canvas` derives a much better name from a description. It was naming the
+  *request* rather than the thing — `create lightweight games…` became
+  `create-lightweight-games`, `help me compare two benchmark runs` became
+  `help-compare-two` — because opening words like "create", "build", "show" and
+  "help me" landed in the directory name, and `-ing`/`-ed` words crowded out the
+  nouns. On twelve realistic descriptions, seven were wrong; all of them now read
+  as names for the thing: `lightweight-games-keyboard`, `dashboard-flaky-tests`,
+  `compare-benchmark-runs`.
+
+- The scaffolded template names itself once, in `ID` and `NAME` at the top,
+  instead of repeating the name in six places. Existing canvases are unaffected —
+  rename handles both shapes.
+
+- The build brief now tells the model to leave the canvas's `id` alone and rename
+  `displayName` instead. Renaming the id drops the instance the person is
+  watching on the next reload — correct behaviour, since the canvas the instance
+  was opened against no longer exists, but a trap the model walks into because
+  the scaffold names the canvas after a directory derived from a sentence.

+     * This is what makes a canvas *iterable*. A canvas has no passive half — its
+     * id, its actions and its UI all come from running its code — so editing
+     * `extension.mjs` changes nothing at all while the child that was forked from
+     * the old bytes is still serving: not the open page, and not even a freshly
+     * opened second instance, because {@link child} hands back the child already in
+     * the table. Without a reload the only way to see an edit is to end the session.
+     *
+     * The order is deliberate. The new child is forked and asked for its
+     * declarations **before** the old one is touched, so an edit that does not run —
+     * a syntax error, a throw at module scope, a `joinSession` that never resolves —
+     * leaves the person looking at exactly the canvas they had, and the error is
+     * reported instead of being paid for with their open surface.
+     *
+     * Instance ids are preserved, so an `instanceId` the model already holds keeps
+     * working across a reload. **URLs are not**: the extension binds a fresh
+     * ephemeral port and mints a fresh capability token in `open()`, and the host
+     * has no way to make it reuse either. So a reload always hands back new URLs,
+     * and the caller must show them — an already-open browser tab is pointing at a
+     * port that is now closed.
+     *
+     * The `input` each instance was opened with is replayed, so a reload restores
+     * the canvas rather than a blank one. Everything the *extension* kept in memory
+     * is gone, which is the honest meaning of restarting a process.
