🚀 New Features

• Fallback Operations Contextual Awareness
  • Fallback documentation and release note generation now accesses prior assessment commit history and commit messages for improved context awareness. This results in more accurate, contextually-informed release notes and documentation, especially when user requests refer to earlier work or source PRs.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Skip non-UTF8 strings when syncing GitHub files
  • Added logic in sfs/internal/logic to ignore files containing invalid UTF-8 content, preventing corruption of the database.

🚀 New Features

• Documentation Connection Type
  • Introduced a new documentation connection type in the UI with components for creating and listing documentation site connections.
• GPT-4o model encoding support
  • Upgraded the tiktoken dependency to v0.1.7 and introduced the o200k_base encoding to enable GPT-4o tokenization.
• Plumb previous assessment commits into fallback assessor
  • Enables retrieval of previous assessment commit messages and diffs in fallback GitHub operations for improved context in subsequent actions.

✨ Enhancements

• Prevent stale documentation in PR edits
  • Documentation edits now fetch documents based on the PR’s current head commit. If the SHA matches the last assessment, it falls back to using the last assessment’s documents; otherwise, it retrieves fresh documents from GitHub. This ensures edits no longer operate on stale PR documents.
• Include connection ID in document metadata
  • Each document now includes its originating connection ID in metadata for improved traceability.
• Improved Document Merging Prompt
  • Introduced a new combine_documents prompt version that preserves original text, prevents rephrasing, and precisely handles duplicates and conflicts. Updated configuration to replace older templates and streamlined the input schema.

Notes:

• All content is preserved exactly as provided, with deduplication applied only where identical lines appear across documents. No rephrasing or edits to existing wording were performed beyond removing duplicates and concatenating unique lines under the correct headings.
• The structure of sections follows the first document’s formatting, with subsequent entries appended in their original wording where not duplicates.
