 Release history for the DaVinci Resolve MCP Server. The latest release is summarized in the root README; older entries live here to keep the README focused.
 
+## What's New in v2.104.0
+
+The read/write symmetry audit's worklist, worked. PR #162's AST rewrite left
+eight `set_` actions with no readback; live probing on Studio 19.1.3.7 sorted
+them into four the API supports and four it simply cannot — and turned up a
+render-pipeline failure mode along the way.
+
+### Added
+
+- `media_pool.get_clip_marks` — read mark in/out for a set of media-pool clips,
+  the read twin of `set_clip_marks` (live-verified round trip: set 12/60, read
+  12/60).
+- `timeline.get_clips_linked` — per-item link readback via
+  `TimelineItem.GetLinkedItems` (live-verified: a video item returns its audio
+  twin).
+- `timeline.get_title_text` — the read twin of `set_title_text`. Resolves the
+  same heuristic title-property keys as the setter, and falls back to reading
+  `StyledText` off the TextPlus tool in the item's Fusion comp — on Studio
+  19.1.3 the property route exposes no title keys at all (the setter fails
+  there too), while the comp route reads and writes fine.
+- `media_pool_item_markers.get_name` — the markers group carried `set_name`
+  with no read twin.
+- `render.verify_output(job_id)` — checks the actual output file against the
+  job's own mark range: existence, size, ffprobe duration, and a
+  duration-ratio warning when a Complete job produced a near-empty stub (the
+  issue #164 signature: content the render engine never visited). Verify
+  before deleting the job — deleted jobs carry no TargetDir to check.
+
+### Documented (api_truth, Blackmagic-facing report regenerated)
+
+Four readbacks the API cannot express, each now a submit-tagged entry:
+`SetCDL` (no GetCDL anywhere — read grades via DRX decode instead),
+`SetNodeEnabled` (no GetNodeEnabled), `SetKeyframeInterpolation` (nothing
+returns interpolation; the whole keyframe family is absent on 19.1.3), and
+`SetHighPriority` (no getter, irreversible per session). The symmetry report's
+high-signal gap list is now exactly these four.
+
+And one render-pipeline bug found the hard way: **deleting or closing a
+project while its render job is running wedges Resolve** — the orphaned
+render's `IsRenderingInProgress` sticks True on every subsequent project,
+`StopRendering` does not clear it, new render jobs sit at 0% forever, then
+`StartRendering` starts returning False and `Resolve.Quit()` is refused
+behind a quit-confirm dialog. Reproduced live on Studio 19.1.3.7. Poll
+`GetRenderJobStatus` for completion, never `IsRenderingInProgress`, and never
+close a project mid-render.
+
+### Version ledger
+
+`MediaPoolItem.GetMarkInOut` and `TimelineItem.GetLinkedItems` enter the
+evidence gates as measured-present on 19.1.3.7 (introduction versions
+unbisected; the floors err toward refusing on older builds).
+

+
+- **Object:** `TimelineItem`
+- **Signature:** `({NodeIndex, Slope, Offset, Power, Saturation}) -> Bool`
+- **Behavior:** SetCDL writes a node's CDL but no object exposes a read: no GetCDL on TimelineItem or Graph in the API reference, and dir() on a live Graph confirms (Studio 19.1.3.7). A grade applied via SetCDL cannot be read back, diffed, or verified through the API.
+- **Workaround / current handling:** Track intended CDL values in the caller, or read the actual grade by exporting a DRX still and decoding it (this repo's drx tool decodes 100% of DRX params — slope/offset/power/sat included).
+- **Tags:** color, missing-method, readback
+
+### Graph.SetNodeEnabled (write-only — no GetNodeEnabled)
+
+- **Object:** `Graph`
+- **Signature:** `(nodeIndex, bool) -> Bool`
+- **Behavior:** A node's bypass state can be set but never read: no GetNodeEnabled in the API reference, and dir() on a live Graph confirms (Studio 19.1.3.7). After a SetNodeEnabled the caller cannot verify it took, and the pre-existing state of a node someone toggled in the UI is unknowable.
+- **Workaround / current handling:** Treat node-enable state as write-only: record what you set, and verify visually (rendered-frame compare) when the state matters.
+- **Tags:** color, missing-method, readback
+
+### TimelineItem.SetKeyframeInterpolation (write-only)
+
+- **Object:** `TimelineItem`
+- **Signature:** `(property, frame, type) -> Bool`
+- **Behavior:** Interpolation can be written per keyframe but nothing returns it: GetKeyframeAtIndex/GetPropertyAtKeyframeIndex expose frame and value only (API reference). On Studio 19.1.3.7 the whole keyframe method family is absent from dir() — these methods are 20.x+.
+- **Workaround / current handling:** Record interpolation choices in the caller; readback is not available at any version.
+- **Tags:** timeline, missing-method, readback, keyframes
+
+### Resolve.SetHighPriority (write-only, irreversible per session)
+
+- **Object:** `Resolve`
+- **Signature:** `() -> Bool`
+- **Behavior:** Raises the Resolve process priority; there is no getter and no way to lower it again through the API (confirmed absent from dir() on Studio 19.1.3.7).
+- **Workaround / current handling:** Call it only when the user asked for a long render on a dedicated machine; state cannot be read back or undone without restarting Resolve.

 - **Behavior:** The returned TimelineItem objects can have an unreadable/empty GetUniqueId, notably when the clipInfo recordFrame lands in a span still occupied by another item (any duplicate-then-delete 'move' whose offset is smaller than the item duration hits this). The item may not actually exist on the timeline. A session that trusted the non-empty return and deleted the sources lost 26 clips (Portugal timeline, 2026-08-19).
 - **Workaround / current handling:** Never treat AppendToTimeline's return as proof of placement. Re-enumerate the track and match on record frame + duration before any dependent delete; never shift items by duplicate-then-delete into occupied spans — use timeline.ripple_insert, which rebuilds the tail into free space and verifies by readback.

+### Project.IsRenderingInProgress (stuck True after deleting the rendering project)
+
+- **Object:** `Project`
+- **Signature:** `() -> Bool`
+- **Behavior:** Deleting or closing a project while its render job is still running orphans the render and wedges the whole render pipeline: the output file stops growing and Resolve idles at 0% CPU, IsRenderingInProgress on the NEXT current project reports True indefinitely, StopRendering does not clear it, NEW render jobs sit at 0% forever (then StartRendering starts returning False), and Resolve.Quit() is refused because the app believes a render is running — even project creation can start returning None behind the quit-confirm dialog (reproduced live on Studio 19.1.3.7, 2026-08-29).
+- **Workaround / current handling:** Never close or delete a project while IsRenderingInProgress is True — StopRendering first, wait for False, then close. Once wedged, only a manual quit (confirming the dialog) or force-quit clears it; treat a True that persists at 0% CPU with a static output file as stuck rather than rendering. Poll GetRenderJobStatus for completion instead of IsRenderingInProgress, which this failure poisons.
