# Changelog

All notable changes to Inner Dialogue.

---

## [2.1.0] - 2026-02-08

### Added
- **Import command** — Import notes anytime during a session, not just at setup. Say "import" or "I have files to import" and provide a path.
- **Manifest-based updates** — Updates now use `manifest.json` to discover all available components. Existing users can get new features automatically.
- **Smart modality recommendations** — If you import notes during setup, your therapist reads them and recommends modalities based on your history.

### Changed
- **Smarter import handling** — Imported files now become session history (`sessions/YYYY-MM-DD.md`) with original dates, plus key patterns extracted to `profile.md`. This gives natural relevance decay like real memory.
- **Commands moved to updatable file** — Customization commands now live in `.therapy/commands.md` so existing users receive new commands via updates.
- **Setup flow reordered** — Import step now comes before modality selection, enabling personalized recommendations.

### For Existing Users
Run "update" or "check for updates" during a session to get these features.
