Changelog

All notable changes to BusyMirror will be documented in this file.

[1.5.1] - 2026-05-27

Fixed

• Mirror index dirtied on every sync: MirrorRecord used synthesized Equatable which included updatedAt: Date = Date(). Because updatedAt is set to the current time whenever a record is constructed, the comparison used to detect changes always returned "not equal", causing UserDefaults to be written on every sync run even when nothing changed. A custom == / hash(into:) now excludes updatedAt. (MirrorEngine.swift)
• Mirror URL corruption with special characters in calendar IDs: buildMirrorURL placed raw calendar and source IDs into the URL path without percent-encoding them. If any ID contained the ; separator character the resulting URL would be mis-parsed on the next sync. mirrorURLComponentEncode (which already existed and was tested) is now called on all ID fields before they are joined. The path is set via percentEncodedPath to prevent URLComponents from double-encoding the already-encoded values. (MirrorUtils.swift)
• Dead constant: removed unused SKIP_ALL_DAY_DEFAULT = true from ContentView.swift.
• Deprecated FileHandle API: replaced FileHandle(forWritingAtPath:) + handle.closeFile() with the modern throwing FileHandle(forWritingTo:), handle.seekToEnd(), and handle.write(contentsOf:) in AppLogStore. (AppLogStore.swift)
• Cleanup jumps calendar picker: runCleanupForRoute was mutating sourceIndex, sourceID, and targetIDs during route cleanup, visibly shifting the picker in the UI. Cleanup does not need to update the UI selection; those mutations are removed.
• --exit flag redundancy: NSApp.terminate was called whenever isCLIRun was true, making --exit a no-op. The app now exits only when --exit is explicitly passed, so --routes / --run-saved-routes can be used without forcing termination.

Added

• Live calendar refresh: the calendar list now updates automatically when the system calendar database changes (EKEventStoreChanged notification), removing the need to press "Refresh Calendars" after adding or removing a calendar. The observer is unregistered on view disappear and re-registered when the EKEventStore is recreated. (ContentView.swift)

Changed

• AppLogStore extracted: moved from an inline private enum in ContentView.swift to its own file AppLogStore.swift for easier navigation. (AppLogStore.swift)
• Block.span factory: added Block.span(start:end:) to replace the repetitive Block(start:end:srcStableID:nil:label:nil:notes:nil:occurrence:nil) construction pattern throughout BlockMath.swift and MirrorEngine.swift. (BlockMath.swift)
• Removed redundant MainActor.run wrappers: MirrorEngine is @MainActor; wrapping store.save / store.remove in try await MainActor.run { } was unnecessary and added overhead. (MirrorEngine.swift)
• SettingsPayload indentation: the nested struct was de-dented to column 0 inside ContentView, making it look like a top-level type. Indentation is now consistent with the surrounding members.

Build

• Bump version to 1.5.1 (build 20).

[1.5.0] - 2026-05-27

Removed

• Mark Private feature: removed the non-functional server-side "Private" flagging for mirrored events. The Objective-C runtime hack (setPrivate:, KVC on sensitivity/classification) never worked reliably and would have blocked App Store review. This simplifies the UI and removes a private-API liability.

Changed

• Extracted mirror engine: the ~500-line runMirror and runCleanup logic has been moved from ContentView.swift into a new MirrorEngine.swift class. ContentView now delegates to the engine via makeEngine().
• MirrorRecord, mirror index persistence, and SAME_TIME_TOL_MIN now live in the engine module.
• calLabel moved to MirrorUtils.swift so it can be shared between UI and engine.

Build

• Bump version to 1.5.0 (build 19).

[1.4.0] - 2026-05-27

Fixed

• Sandbox LaunchAgent: added temporary-exception entitlement so scheduled runs work in the sandboxed app.
• Mirror URL generation: buildMirrorURL was silently broken — URL(string:) rejects raw | characters on current macOS, so mirror metadata URLs were always nil. Rebuilt with URLComponents using ; separator and backward-compatible parser.
• Crash on Cleanup: runCleanup() no longer crashes if the selected source calendar was removed.
• State corruption in multi-route runs: runConfiguredRoutes no longer mutates global @State settings and restores them at the end of each loop; instead it passes a MirrorConfig struct into the engine.
• KVC safety: removed misleading do-catch around setValue:forKey: in setEventPrivateIfSupported() (Objective-C exceptions are uncatchable in Swift).
• Log memory leak: in-memory log now caps at 2,000 lines.
• CLI race: tryRunCLIIfPresent() now preloads calendars when access is already granted, eliminating the 10-second timeout race.
• launchCtl output: stdout and stderr now use separate pipes instead of interleaving into one.

Added

• Cancel button: long-running mirrors now show a Cancel button; loops check Task.isCancelled for responsive cancellation.
• Progress indicator: multi-route runs display "Route X of Y" in the status area.
• Unit tests: 45 tests across BlockMathTests, MirrorUtilsTests, and EventFiltersTests.
• Extracted modules: BlockMath.swift, MirrorUtils.swift, EventFilters.swift, and MirrorConfig.swift separate pure logic from the UI monolith.
• Target event cache: target calendars shared across routes are fetched only once per run session.

Changed

• mergeGapMin is now a computed property instead of redundant @State.
• Log editor is now read-only (still selectable/copyable).
• SettingsPayload.excludedOrganizerFilters is now non-optional for consistency.

Build

• Bump minimum macOS version to 15.5 in Info.plist.
• Bump version to 1.4.0 (build 18).

[1.3.9] - 2026-04-09

• New: add a macOS menu bar extra with Sync Now, Open BusyMirror, and Quit BusyMirror.
• UX: menu bar sync requests reuse the existing mirror flow and can open the main window automatically when needed.
• UX: BusyMirror now runs as a menu bar-only app and no longer appears in the Dock.
• Build: bump version to 1.3.9 (build 17).

[1.3.8] - 2026-04-08

• Fix: release ZIPs now package BusyMirror.app at the archive root instead of embedding the full build path.
• Fix: release builds now apply an ad-hoc bundle signature before packaging so downloaded artifacts pass codesign --verify --deep --strict.
• Build: suppress resource fork sidecars in release ZIPs via ditto --norsrc --keepParent.
• Build: bump version to 1.3.8 (build 16).

[1.3.7] - 2026-03-24

• Fix: mirror reconciliation now survives target providers that strip BusyMirror's custom event URL metadata.
• Fix: moved and deleted source events are tracked via stable EventKit identifiers and a persisted local mirror index, so target placeholders update reliably.
• Fix: mirror updates now detect title and notes changes, not just start/end time changes.
• Build: bump version to 1.3.7 (build 15).

[1.3.6] - 2026-03-13

• Scheduling: add in-app Scheduled runs controls to install or remove a user launchd LaunchAgent from BusyMirror itself.
• Scheduling: support Hourly, Daily, and Weekdays schedules; hourly mode runs saved routes via StartInterval.
• UX: generate and ship a proper macOS app icon set for BusyMirror.
• Build: bump version to 1.3.6 (build 14).

[1.3.4] - 2026-03-13

• Fix: route-scoped cleanup no longer deletes placeholders created by other source routes during the same multi-route run.
• Fix: stale calendars are pruned from saved selections and routes during refresh, and refresh now recreates EKEventStore for a hard reload.
• UX: the top bar DRY RUN / WRITE status pill is clickable, the left column keeps its own height on desktop, and the app can reveal its log file from the UI.
• Logging: mirror activity is persisted to ~/Library/Logs/BusyMirror/BusyMirror.log with simple rotation to BusyMirror.previous.log.
• CLI: add --run-saved-routes so scheduled launchd runs can use the saved UI routes instead of fragile index-based route definitions.

[1.3.1] - 2025-10-13

• Fix: auto-delete of mirrored placeholders when the source is removed now works even if no source instances remain in the window. Also cleans legacy mirrors without URLs by matching exact times.

[1.3.2] - 2025-10-13

• New: Organizer filters — skip events by organizer (name/email/URL). UI under Options and persisted in settings.
• CLI: add --exclude-organizers (and --exclude-titles) flags to control filters when running headless.

[1.2.4] - 2025-10-10

• Fix: enable “Mirror Now” when Routes are defined even if no Source/Targets are checked in the main window. Button now enables if either routes exist or a manual selection is present.

[1.3.0] - 2025-10-10

• New: Mark Private option to mirror with prefix + real title and set event privacy on supported servers; available globally and per-route; persisted.
• Misc: calendar access fixes, concurrency annotations, accepted‑only filter, settings autosave/restore, Mirror Now enablement.

[1.2.3] - 2025-10-10

• Fix: reliably save and restore settings between runs via autosave of key options and restoration of source/target selections by persistent IDs.
• UX: persist Source and Target selections; rebuild indices on launch so UI matches saved IDs.
• Build: bump version to 1.2.3 (build 5).

[1.2.1] - 2025-10-10

• Fix: reinitialize EKEventStore after permission grant to avoid “Loaded 0 calendars” right after approval.
• Fix: attendee status filter uses current user’s attendee participantStatus == .accepted instead of unavailable APIs.
• Concurrency: mark requestAccess() and reloadCalendars() as @MainActor to satisfy strict concurrency checks.
• Dev: add Makefile with build-debug, build-release, and package targets; produce versioned ZIP + SHA-256.

[1.2.0] - 2024-09-29

• Feature: multi-route mirroring, overlap modes, merge gaps, work hours filter, CLI support, export/import settings.
