Digital Unconscious now closes the missing reverse loop: papers and local dataset structure can generate traceable, testable research ideas.
du ideate/du explorefor PDF, text, Markdown, JSON, JSONL, CSV, and TSV inputs.- A local source ledger with stable IDs and SHA-256 content identity.
- Exact-anchor evidence cards; invented model quotes fail deterministic validation.
- Privacy-preserving dataset profiles that exclude raw rows and example values from model prompts.
- Named opportunity operators for contradictions, limitations, boundary extensions, measurement gaps, method transfer, replication, robustness, and dataset reuse.
- Falsifiable study cards with hypothesis, null, design, required variables, confounders, smallest useful test, and falsifier.
- DeepSeek extraction, Codex synthesis, Claude methods review, deterministic final ranking, and normal provider fallback.
- An Idea Lab dashboard screen and portable
workspace/ideation/session_*reports. - Optional
papersextra for PDF text extraction.
- One
IdeaBacklogrepository now owns identity, deduplication, ranking, and retention across the engine, CLI, tray, and Idea Lab, with locked atomic writes for concurrent processes. - Response-local IDs such as
idea_001are replaced by content-derived app IDs and reconciled without cross-window collisions. - The idea budget is enforced once per daily cycle, not once per compressed time window.
- Full structured idea cards survive promotion into research through
research_seed.jsonand the run manifest. - Real resume reloads completed artifacts; a new path or changed file content invalidates analysis, drafting, and review while preserving upstream work.
- Model routing diagnostics include the three Idea Lab workloads.
- Daily scans no longer launch research, browser automation, or autostart by default.
- Research no longer evolves prompts from its own review scores by default; learning is explicit.
- Setup saves preferences without unexpectedly starting a background service.
- Automatic browser acquisition was removed from normal literature and dataset stages.
- Direct PDF downloads require a PDF signature and record their checksum.
- Acquisition guidance permits lawful open access only and stops at paywalls, login, CAPTCHA, MFA, terms, and payment.
- Dataset prompts omit local paths, filenames, raw rows, and example values.
- Dashboard-rendered model content is HTML-escaped and state changes require an exact same-origin local host and port.
- Evidence graph, source parser, privacy, backlog identity, resume, and acquisition regression tests.
- Full unit and integration suite on the core install.
- Clean package build and wheel smoke installation.
- Browser inspection of the dashboard and Idea Lab at desktop and mobile widths.
Digital Unconscious is now a smaller, safer, genuinely zero-key application.
- Real local Codex support through isolated
codex execcalls. - Rebuilt Claude Code runner using safe mode, subscription auth, native effort, and structured output.
- Workload-first routing for DeepSeek V4, GLM-5.1, Codex, Claude Code, GPT-5.6, Claude API, and Kimi.
du doctorfor secret-free runtime readiness diagnostics.- Zero-key vision through temporary Codex image attachments with Claude fallback.
- Modular backend kernel: base contract, local runners, hosted adapters, and router.
- New visual identity, diagrams, README, architecture, model-routing, security, and reconstruction docs.
codexno longer incorrectly aliases the OpenAI API.- Local model calls no longer inherit repository or home-directory access.
- Setup no longer stores an unclassified API key in plaintext JSON.
- Privacy language now states when text and screenshots cross the local boundary.
- Automatic startup no longer mutates
~/.claude/agents. - Auto mode uses both signed-in local CLIs and falls back across available providers.
- Stale binary PRD exports and overlapping planning/status documents. Git history remains the archive.
- Startup-time Claude agent installation.
- The claim that screenshots never leave the device.
- Unit and integration suite on the lightweight install.
- Real Codex subscription smoke call.
- Real Claude Code subscription smoke call.
- Package build and clean-wheel installation.
- Browser inspection of the local dashboard and setup flow.
