n2n-nexus 0.9.0 → 0.9.2

 All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
 
+## [0.9.2] - 2026-10-24
+
+### Fixed
+
+- `n2n-nexus install` / `uninstall` write through a symlinked `settings.json` or `hooks.json` (account switchers such as PlanSwap share one file between config directories through a link) instead of replacing the link with a copy.
+- A tray controlling the background service shows the address the service listens on (for example `http://0.0.0.0:5688 (LAN)`), not the loopback address it checks the service on.
+
+## [0.9.1] - 2026-10-24
+
+Clearer texts for the AI models that use n2n-nexus.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Tool descriptions tell `send` / `read` (direct messages between sessions) apart from `send_message` / `read_messages` (global chat and meetings), explain that ids in `read_messages`, `list_events` and meetings are MCP adapter instance ids rather than session ids, say which meeting becomes active and that only the starting instance can end, archive or reopen it, and describe `sync_project_assets` (create or replace), task metadata, `billing`, the strategy document and `get_global_topology` exactly.
+- The MCP server instructions and the SessionStart introduction mention `reply`, `set_profile`, the hooks that direct messaging needs, and the difference between the two message kinds.
+- Error texts say what to do: the no-agent-session error lists its causes (hooks missing, no new conversation since installing them, MCP server not named `n2n-nexus`, an expired binding: retry); meeting permission errors name the starting instance and the caller; schema validation errors list only the failing fields; `cancel_task` tells a missing task from a finished one; adapter and hook errors name n2n-nexus-host instead of the daemon.
+- `get_global_topology` with an unknown `projectId` is an error instead of an empty graph; `host_maintenance` `prune` needs `count` ≥ 1 instead of removing nothing.
+
 ## [0.9.0] - 2026-10-23
 
 Version 0.9.0 of both programs: the host is now `n2n-nexus-host`, a separate Go program, and the npm package `n2n-nexus` is the client only.

 [Releases](https://github.com/n2ns/n2n-nexus/releases) (tags `host-v<version>`) has the archives for every platform: `n2n-nexus-host_<version>_<os>_<arch>.zip` for Windows and `.tar.gz` for macOS and Linux, amd64 and arm64.
 
 - The binaries are not code-signed yet. On Windows, the first start of `n2n-nexus-host.exe` or `n2n-nexus-host-tray.exe` may show a SmartScreen warning: click **More info → Run anyway**. Homebrew builds the host from source on your Mac, so there is no Gatekeeper prompt.
+- On Windows the package has two programs: `n2n-nexus-host.exe` for commands, and `n2n-nexus-host-tray.exe`, the tray, which opens no console window. `n2n-nexus-host` without arguments starts the tray program and returns.
 - Run `n2n-nexus-host` without arguments to start it as a tray app. The tray menu shows the address it listens on and the number of online sessions, opens the log and data folders, switches LAN access on and off, restarts the host and turns **Start at login** on or off (`n2n-nexus-host autostart on|off` does the same). The first time the tray runs it turns **Start at login** on; after that it stays as you set it. The menu is in Chinese on a Chinese system and in English otherwise.
 - Or run it as a background service that starts at boot, without a tray: `n2n-nexus-host service install` from an elevated terminal (Windows) or with `sudo` (macOS, Linux). The service runs as the user who installed it. Quit the tray first: `service install` refuses while the tray runs the host. While the service runs, a tray started later only controls it.
 - On Linux the tray needs a desktop with StatusNotifierItem (AppIndicator) support; on a server, use `service install`.
@@ -311,7 +312,7 @@ The docs include a recorded multi-agent session that shows n2n-nexus in action.
 What to look for in the session:
 
 - **Shared coordination space**: each assistant registered its active project (with the `register_session_context` tool of that release; current versions pass `projectId` explicitly instead), then read and wrote to the same host throughout the session.
-- **Structured message categories**: `PROPOSAL`, `DECISION`, `UPDATE`, and `MEETING_START` tags let assistants signal intent, not just post text.
+- **Structured message categories**: `PROPOSAL`, `DECISION`, `UPDATE` and `CHAT` tags let assistants signal intent, not just post text; a `DECISION` in a meeting is also kept in its decisions list.
 - **SYSTEM entries**: lines like `[Augment] Synced global doc: edge-sync-protocol-v1` record actual tool calls. That version wrote them into the chat stream; current versions keep them out of the conversation and expose them as structured events through `list_events`.
 - **Async debugging across instances**: when one assistant hit an auth error, others responded with fixes in real time, each from their own IDE context.
 - **Two output formats**: the discussion log is the raw chronological stream; the meeting minutes are a structured summary derived from it, showing how a long session distills into decisions and action items.

 - Every tool has a display `title` (for example "Delete Project") for client UIs.
 - Every tool carries MCP annotations: `readOnlyHint`, `destructiveHint`, `idempotentHint` and `openWorldHint: false` (all tools act only on the host). Per the MCP definition a tool is non-destructive only when its updates are purely additive. Read tools are marked read-only. `start_meeting`, `create_task`, `send_message`, `send` and `reply` only add data and are non-destructive; `update_task` is marked non-destructive and idempotent too. `listen`, `set_profile`, `sync_project_assets`, `update_project`, `upload_project_asset`, `rename_project`, `sync_global_doc`, `update_global_strategy`, `end_meeting`, `archive_meeting`, `reopen_meeting`, `cancel_task`, `host_maintenance` and `host_delete_project` rewrite or remove existing state and are marked destructive, so clients can ask for confirmation. `read_messages` and `read` are not read-only because they advance the caller's own unread state, but they are non-destructive since no shared data changes.
 - Every adapter has an instance ID (`NEXUS_INSTANCE_ID`, `--id`, or `mcp-<hostname>-<hash of the working directory>-<IDE name>` by default, where the IDE name is the MCP client name from the request's `io.modelcontextprotocol/clientInfo` or, for 2025-era clients, from `initialize`). Read cursors and meeting initiator permissions are keyed on it, so it stays the same across restarts of the same IDE in the same workspace while two IDEs on one workspace stay distinct. The adapter sends it as `instanceId` with every call; `read_messages` fails without one.
+- Two kinds of id appear in results.

 n2n-nexus is a local-first Model Context Protocol (MCP) coordination hub from N2NS Lab for multi-AI assistant collaboration. It uses a long-running local host, `n2n-nexus-host`, as the source of truth and lightweight MCP adapters from the `n2n-nexus` npm package for IDEs and AI coding assistants. Each Claude Code and Codex conversation has its own identity, taken from the client: `n2n-nexus install <claude|codex>` adds hooks that announce new direct messages to the recipient (on prompt, after tool calls, before the turn ends, or while listening), and the model reads them with a tool.
