Release 1.10.0

Mirror "Maybe" (tentative RSVP) events instead of dropping them.

Previously, with "Mirror accepted events only" on, events you'd replied
tentative to were skipped entirely. They're now mirrored with a "Maybe: "
marker in the title (after the normal prefix) and written with tentative
availability so Calendar shows them hatched. The marker is applied for any
tentative RSVP regardless of the accepted-only setting; an accepted<->
tentative flip re-syncs the title. Not carried on the merge path
(mergeGapMin > 0), which already discards per-event titles.

Block gains a `tentative` flag (in ==/hash); accepted-only gate lets
.tentative through alongside .accepted.

All unit tests pass.

 All notable changes to BusyMirror will be documented in this file.
 
+## [1.10.0] - 2026-08-31
+
+### Added
+- **"Maybe" events are now mirrored.** Previously, when "Mirror accepted events only" was on, events you'd RSVP'd tentative to were dropped entirely. They're now mirrored with a `Maybe: ` marker in the title (after the normal prefix, e.g. `🪞 Maybe: Standup`) and written with tentative availability so Calendar shows them hatched. Applies regardless of the accepted-only setting — any tentative RSVP gets the marker. A flip between accepted and tentative re-syncs the title. Not carried on the merge path (`mergeGapMin > 0`), which already discards per-event titles. ([MirrorEngine.swift](BusyMirror/MirrorEngine.swift), [BlockMath.swift](BusyMirror/BlockMath.swift))
+
+## [1.9.2] - 2026-08-27
+
+### Fixed
+- **"Sync Now" toolbar button showed only its icon**, no text — confirmed via screenshot: the Dry Run/Write toggle and toolbar layout were actually fine (1.9.1's fix worked, sidebar clicks too), but the circular-arrows icon next to it was unlabeled, easy to miss as "Sync Now" entirely. Forced `.labelStyle(.titleAndIcon)` so the text always shows regardless of toolbar width. ([ContentView.swift](BusyMirror/ContentView.swift))
+
+## [1.9.1] - 2026-08-27
+
+### Fixed
+- **Sidebar not clickable.** `sidebarView` used `List(SidebarSection.allCases, selection:)` (the data-driven initializer), which ties selection to `Identifiable`'s `id` — a `String` for `SidebarSection` — while the binding was typed `SidebarSection?`. Rebuilt with the standard `List(selection:) { ForEach(...) { ... .tag(section) } }` pattern, which binds selection directly to the (`Hashable`) section value with no ambiguity. Also added `.listStyle(.sidebar)`, the standard modifier for a `NavigationSplitView` sidebar (vibrancy, selection color) that was missing.
+- **"Write to calendars" hard to find.** It was still there as the Dry Run/Write segmented control in the toolbar, but likely lost to toolbar overflow alongside a status readout, Sync Now, and the overflow menu all crammed into one `ToolbarItemGroup`. Moved the calendar-count/status text out of the toolbar entirely into `.navigationSubtitle` (always visible, native, never subject to overflow), leaving the toolbar to just Dry Run/Write, Sync Now/Cancel, and the overflow menu.
+
+Not independently confirmed by clicking through the UI (no GUI automation available in this environment) — the `List(selection:)` fix follows SwiftUI's standard, unambiguous sidebar-selection pattern.
+
+## [1.9.0] - 2026-08-27
+
+### Added
+- **Sidebar navigation redesign.** Main window is now a `NavigationSplitView`: a sidebar (Routes / Schedule / Activity Log, with a route-count badge) replaces the old 2×2 grid of panel cards. Primary actions (Dry Run/Write, sync status, Sync Now) moved to the window toolbar; Export/Import/Reveal Log/Cleanup Placeholders/Refresh Calendars/Recheck Permission moved into a toolbar overflow menu.
+- **Routes** are now a real collapsed-by-default list — click a row to expand its editor (Private, Copy description, Sync reminders, Mirror all-day, merge gap, overlap, Remove) instead of every route always showing every field. The manual source/target picker lives in a collapsible "Manual Selection" section above the list.
+- **Schedule** view leads with live auto-sync status (armed/watching, last sync) instead of a bare `launchd` form; the manual fixed-time schedule is still there, demoted to an explicitly optional section underneath — matches what it actually became once 1.7.0 shipped event-driven sync.
+- **Activity Log** is now readable rows (status icon + text) instead of a monospaced text dump, with a search filter and a Clear button for the in-app view (the persistent file log on disk is untouched).
+- Menu bar dropdown got icons on every item and real ⌘,/⌘Q keyboard shortcuts on Preferences/Quit.
+- Design explored first as a mockup (light+dark) before any SwiftUI changes; direction confirmed before implementing.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Routes silently dropped on most launches, masked by a legacy fallback.** `reloadCalendars()` pruned routes referencing calendars not in the current EventKit fetch — but the fetch immediately following a permission grant (a freshly-created `EKEventStore`) can under-report calendars for a moment, especially remote accounts (Exchange/CalDAV), before they finish loading. Every affected launch wrongly deleted real routes, and only kept working because of a legacy `routes.v1` backup key kept rescuing them — a backup that itself was frozen at whatever it held the first time it was ever written, since nothing updated it afterward. Any real route edit made in a session that hit this bug would have been silently lost on the next launch. Fixed by skipping the prune specifically on the post-permission-grant reload (`reloadCalendars(pruneRoutes: false)`) — the EKEventStoreChanged-triggered reload and an explicit "Refresh Calendars" click, both against an already-warm store, still prune as before — and by keeping the `routes.v1` backup itself current on every save instead of frozen. Confirmed via `--status`/reading the UserDefaults plist directly on a real install: routes stopped disappearing across repeated launches. ([ContentView.swift](BusyMirror/ContentView.swift))
+
+## [1.8.3] - 2026-08-27
+
+### Fixed
+- **Preferences missing from the standard app menu.** 1.8.1's fix for Preferences (a plain `Window` opened via `openWindow`) worked around `LSUIElement` having no app menu, but 1.8.2 removed `LSUIElement` and the workaround was never swapped back — so there was still no "Preferences…" in the app's own menu or Cmd+, response, only a button buried in the main window and a menu-bar-dropdown item. Restored a real `Settings { }` scene now that the app menu exists to host it; both the menu bar dropdown and the main window's button now call the standard `openSettings()` action (via `SettingsLink` in the main window) instead of a custom `openWindow(id:)`.

 ## [1.8.2] - 2026-08-27
 
 ### Changed

ROADMAP.md

@@ -17,6 +17,8 @@
 - 1.8.0: **V2 UI polish.** `ContentView.swift` split from ~2000 lines into focused view files — `CalendarsSectionView`, `RoutesSectionView`, `ScheduleSectionView`, `LogSectionView` (state stays owned by `ContentView`/`@AppStorage`; these are view-layer extractions, not a full MVVM rewrite — the settings-persistence model didn't need touching and touching it is exactly how the 1.6.0/1.6.1 data-loss bug happened). A preferences window hosting the pure `@AppStorage`-backed defaults (time window, privacy/mirroring defaults, work hours, skip filters) that used to live in the main window; this surfaced a latent bug — moving fields out of `ContentView` meant they stopped re-triggering `saveSettingsToDefaults()`, so on next launch `applySnapshot` would have silently reverted a preference changed in the new window using the stale blob. Fixed by splitting launch-time restore (`restoreLaunchState`, routes/selections only, since @AppStorage fields already self-restore) from Import's full restore (`applySnapshot`, unchanged). Menu bar icon now reflects idle/syncing/error state, and the dropdown shows last-sync time/result and whether auto-sync is armed.
 - 1.8.1: the preferences window (originally a `Settings{}` scene) didn't actually open — `LSUIElement` apps get no standard app menu, so Cmd+,/`SettingsLink` had no menu to hook into. Replaced with a plain `Window` opened via `openWindow(id:)`, plus a "Preferences…" menu bar item as a second entry point.
 - 1.8.2: **standard app, not menu-bar-only.** Removed `LSUIElement` — Dock icon, Cmd+Tab, standard app menu (Cmd+Q) are back. The accessory-app design (no Dock icon) turned out to make the app hard to quit reliably, which blocked replacing the bundle during updates. Menu bar extra stays as a secondary quick-access point.
+- 1.8.3: restored the real `Settings{}` scene for Preferences now that the app menu exists to host it (1.8.1's `Window`+`openWindow` workaround was never swapped back after 1.8.2 removed `LSUIElement`) — Cmd+, and the app's own "Preferences…" menu item work again, not just a button and a menu-bar-dropdown item.
+- 1.9.0: **sidebar-navigation redesign** (Routes / Schedule / Activity Log via `NavigationSplitView`, toolbar actions, collapsed-by-default route list, structured log view, refreshed menu bar) — explored as a mockup first, direction confirmed before implementing. Also fixed a real bug the redesign work surfaced: routes were being silently dropped on most launches (a freshly-created `EKEventStore` right after a permission grant can under-report calendars for a moment, especially remote accounts, so pruning against it wrongly deleted routes referencing calendars that were actually still there) — only ever recovered by a legacy backup key that was itself frozen at its first-ever value. Fixed the prune timing and made the backup stay current.
 
 ## Next
 1. **MCP server (thin external wrapper, not embedded in the app).** So agents driving BusyMirror don't have to shell out to the CLI and regex-parse log lines. A small standalone stdio-transport script (Node/Python) maps MCP tools 1:1 onto the CLI's `--json` output: `list_calendars`, `list_routes`, `run_route`, `run_saved_routes`, `get_status`. Deliberately kept out of the Swift app itself — no MCP SDK dependency in the signed binary (AGENTS.md's zero-external-packages rule stays intact), and MCP hosts spawn server processes on demand anyway, so there's no need for the app to run one persistently.
