0.1.1 - 2026-10-06

Changed

• Sieve has its own output voice. callers and blast print trees. Every row has one grammar: name kind path:start-end. Every error has one shape: sieve: ... — ..., with exit code 1. Color and the mascot show only on a terminal. The saving line is last. JSON output is unchanged.
• The pane shows the caller tree for whole-file reads. The pane also shows the caller tree for sieve queries from Bash and MCP.
• The pane text has a readable contrast.
• The pane mascot is smaller.
• The status-line mascots have 2 lines.
• The pane tiles have padding.
• The band says “X and N more changed → M callers affected”.

Fixed

• Card names that differ only in case resolve the same way on macOS and Linux.
• Tests set their own PATH and color environment.
• sieve skeleton on a file that is not in the index exits with code 1.
• The pane runs at most 3 queries per view. The pane stops an old query when a new query starts.
• The cargo install docs use --locked.

0.1.0 - 2026-10-05

First public release.

Added

• The index. Sieve reads a repo into a symbol graph with call edges.
• The queries: ask, grep, callers, blast, map, skeleton and why.
• sieve why and its decision anchors. An anchor links a recorded rule or reason to the code it covers.
• The read intercept. Sieve answers a read from the graph. Sieve does not narrow a read that names offset or limit.
• Remembered reads. Sieve denies every second read of an unchanged file. The read after a deny passes.
• Exact cross-file links for named relative imports in TypeScript and JavaScript.
• The Claude Code pane with 6 mascots and a 3-line status line. The look uses Tokyo Night colors.
• The graph viewer.
• The MCP server.
• sieve stats. It reports tokens saved for the session, the day and 7 days. Use --json for machine output.
• A local-only design. Sieve sends no telemetry.
