Changelog

All notable changes to Inner Dialogue.

[2.1.0] - 2026-02-08

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.

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.

Run "update" or "check for updates" during a session to get these features.
