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

[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).

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).

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).

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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