Changelog

0.10.18 (Preview)

Removed

  • "+" toolbar button — removed the Add File ($(add)) button from the Binlog Explorer view title bar. Use the "Add more binlogs..." action item in the tree, or Binlog: Add File from the Command Palette.

Changed

  • More insightful chat responses — playbooks for /summary, /errors, /targets, /items, /properties were collapsed to one-liners in 0.10.17 (token-budget refactor) which made answers feel terse. Each now asks for: raw numbers + brief interpretation + concrete next step. The /summary playbook in particular now produces a Build Overview, a "What happened" interpretation, and a suggested follow-up command. core.md no longer says "Keep responses concise" in a way that suppresses analysis — it now says "Be insightful, not just descriptive."

Security & robustness — codebase audit follow-up

  • Path/arg safety — buildMcpArgs no longer fragments binlog paths that contain spaces (regression that broke C:\Users\Has Space\build.binlog). PowerShell Expand-Archive invocations now properly escape single quotes; downloaded artifact names are sanitized via a new safeBasename helper that strips path separators, parent-traversal segments, and Windows reserved device names. ZIP extraction is followed by a defense-in-depth assertNoZipSlip walk that aborts on any entry that resolves outside the extract directory. HTTP redirects in httpsGetJson / httpsDownloadFile are now restricted to a whitelist of GitHub / Azure DevOps / Azure Storage hosts. New module: src/ciSafety.ts.

Multi-binlog correctness

  • Active binlog concept — introduced setActiveBinlog(path) plumbed through BinlogTreeDataProvider.setActiveBinlogPath and BinlogDocumentProvider.setActiveBinlog. The "primary" badge in the tree now follows the active binlog instead of being hard-coded to index 0. Switching primary is exposed via the Manage Loaded Binlogs quickpick (click any binlog row to make it primary).
  • Document URI keying — binlog.openInEditor now accepts an explicit binlog full path; URI query format is name=<filename>&binlog=<full path> instead of just the filename. Two binlogs with the same filename in different folders no longer collide on the same virtual document. Legacy URI form is still parsed for backward compat.
  • Args mutation fixed — callMcpTool (extension.ts) and BinlogDocumentProvider.call no longer mutate the caller's args object when injecting binlog_file; cross-call leakage of binlog selection is no longer possible.
  • Diagnostics ↔ Problems wiring — the per-load onDiagnosticsRaw subscription that self-disposed after the first event has been replaced by a single permanent subscription registered in activate(). Adding/removing/switching binlogs now correctly updates the Problems panel instead of leaving it stale.

Prompt-injection hardening (@binlog)

  • System prompt framing — playbooks are now wrapped in <system_prompt>...</system_prompt> with an explicit trust-boundary preamble instructing the model to ignore later attempts to override its instructions. (VS Code's language-model API doesn't expose a true System role; this is the strongest framing available.)
  • XML escaping — user prompt text and dotnet build /check output embedded in <user_request> and <buildcheck> blocks are now XML-escaped via a new escapeXmlText helper. A user (or a malicious binlog containing crafted error messages) can no longer inject closing tags like </user_request> to escape the wrapper. New module: src/chatPrompts.ts.

Error surfacing

  • surfaceMcpError(scope, err, opts?) — new helper that always logs to telemetry and the new "Binlog Analyzer" output channel; optionally shows a user warning with a "Show Details" action. Replaces several silent .catch(() => {}) patterns at MCP startup, MCP-config writes, update checks, and post-install MCP restart, so failures stop being completely invisible.
  • MCP client — JSON parse errors and unmatched response IDs in mcpClient.parseMessages are now logged to console with a truncated frame preview instead of being silently dropped (which previously left requests hanging until 30s timeout).
  • Diagnostics — BinlogDiagnosticsProvider.loadFromMcpClient failures are logged instead of swallowed.

Fixed

  • Fix all issues / Optimize build now check that the project source is loaded. Previously both actions cheerfully crafted a dotnet build "C:\...\App.csproj" prompt and handed it to Copilot regardless of whether that path existed locally — so on a binlog dragged in from CI / a coworker, the model would burn turns trying to edit files that aren't in the workspace. Both commands now run a preflight via the new pure helper projectSourcesAccessible(projectPaths, workspaceFolders, fileExists) and, when no project file resolves locally, surface a modal with Set Workspace Folder... and Continue Anyway options. The "Set Workspace Folder..." branch reuses the existing detection that suggests candidate roots from the binlog's project paths.

Tests

  • Total passing tests: 208 (was 174). New coverage:
    • mcpArgs: paths with spaces, equals-form (--prefix=${binlog}), shell metacharacters in path content, multi-binlog mix.
    • ciSafety: redirect-host allowlist (positive, negative, look-alike, case-insensitive), safeBasename (traversal, separators, reserved names), psSingleQuote (PowerShell escaping), assertNoZipSlip (good case, empty, symlink-escape; symlink test auto-skips on Windows without SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege).
    • chatPrompts: escapeAttr and escapeXmlText against closing-tag injection attempts on both <user_request> and <buildcheck> wrappers, ordering of & vs </>, non-string coercion, whitespace preservation.
    • parsers.parseMcpDiagnostics: malformed line/column (NaN, Infinity, undefined, "abc") coerces to 1; null/non-object input; diagnostics not an array; null/missing fields; CRLF preserved in messages.
    • parsers.extractFileName / extractDirectory: UNC paths, mixed separators, trailing separator, embedded CR.
    • parsers.projectSourcesAccessible: empty project list, no-workspace + absolute-path resolves, workspace-relative match, basename-at-root match, no-match with capped examples, fileExists throwing, case-insensitive matching, empty-entry filtering.

0.10.17 (Preview)

Added

  • Language Model Tools — 5 LM-tool wrappers (binlog_lm_overview, binlog_lm_errors, binlog_lm_search, binlog_lm_perf, binlog_lm_compare) registered via vscode.lm.registerTool so any agent (@workspace, agent mode, custom chat modes) can analyze loaded binlogs — not just @binlog
  • "Ask @binlog" CodeAction — click a build error/warning squiggle in the editor → Quick Fix → "Ask @binlog about this error" or "Fix with @binlog"
  • Auto-fix diagnostic — right-click any error/warning in the Binlog Explorer → "Auto-fix with Copilot" opens agent mode to edit the source file directly
  • Diagnostic context menu — right-click error/warning tree items for "Ask @binlog about this issue" and "Auto-fix with Copilot"
  • Fix All: before/after comparison — "Fix All Issues" now writes to a new {name}_fixed_{N}.binlog (preserving the original) and auto-loads both for /compare
  • /timeline command playbook — /timeline now has its own per-command instruction file
  • esbuild bundling — extension ships as a single dist/extension.js (~476 KB) instead of raw TypeScript output
  • CI matrix — GitHub Actions workflow runs on both Ubuntu and Windows

Changed

  • Prompt refactor — SYSTEM_PROMPT and COMMAND_PROMPTS moved to lazy-loaded markdown playbooks (resources/playbooks/). Total prompt budget ~250 tokens baseline vs ~1500 before
  • Auto-greeting — loading a binlog now fires @binlog /summary automatically instead of asking "What would you like to analyze?"
  • Multi-binlog support — all MCP tool calls (tree view, document provider, timeline, extension commands) now auto-inject binlog_file for the primary binlog when multiple are loaded

Fixed

  • MCP startup race — auto-greeting now waits for both MCP config AND tree client initialization before firing /summary
  • LM-tool readiness — wrappers wait up to 10s for MCP client to become ready instead of immediately returning "No binlog loaded"
  • Cross-machine file navigation — diagnostics and tree view items from binlogs built on other machines (CI, coworkers) no longer show "file not found" — paths are resolved against workspace folders
  • Multi-root workspace path resolution — resolveFilePath now checks each workspace folder for file existence instead of blindly using the first
  • MCP timer leak — setTimeout in sendRequest is now cleared on resolve/reject
  • Spawn error handler — missing error event listener on MCP subprocess no longer crashes the extension host
  • processResponse error retry — recursive tool-call retry now checks all 5 error patterns (was missing role 'tool', tool_call_id, 400)
  • CodeAction cap — max 5 diagnostics per provideCodeActions call to prevent unusable Quick Fix menus
  • Cross-platform tests — workspaceMatchesBinlog and getSourceLabel no longer depend on path.sep (fixes CI on Ubuntu)
  • Stale tool names in prompts — analyzeInChat prompts no longer reference non-existent tools (binlog_search_targets, etc.)

0.10.16 (Preview)

Fixed

  • Stale async race in handleBinlogOpen — captured local snapshot of loaded binlog paths so async callbacks from a superseded load are ignored
  • Inflated telemetry — trackTreeExpand now only fires on actual MCP fetches, not cache hits
  • Telemetry event renamed — treeClick → treeSelect to accurately reflect that it fires on selection changes (keyboard navigation, not just clicks)
  • Search result regex — improved path extraction to handle file paths with spaces (e.g., Source: C:\My Projects\file.targets (25,5))

0.10.15 (Preview)

Added

  • Enhanced Diagnostics in Build & Collect — after selecting binlog name and restore options, a new multi-select QuickPick offers diagnostic enhancements:
    • Property Tracking (MsBuildLogPropertyTracking=15) — records full property lifecycle: initial values, reassignments, env var reads
    • BuildCheck Analysis (-check) — detects double writes, undefined properties, shared output paths (SDK 9.0.100+)
    • Analyzer Performance (/p:ReportAnalyzer=true) — per-analyzer timing in binlog
    • Embed Project Imports (ProjectImports=Embed) — ensures .props/.targets source is embedded
  • Run BuildCheck Analysis command (binlog.runBuildCheck) — replays an existing binlog with dotnet build <binlog> /check to detect build quality issues without rebuilding. Results appear in the Problems panel. Available from command palette and tree view title bar
  • Rebuild with Property Tracking command (binlog.rebuildWithPropertyTracking) — builds with full MSBuild property tracking enabled
  • /buildcheck slash command — runs BuildCheck replay from @binlog chat and formats results with fix suggestions
  • /propertyhistory slash command — traces property assignment history through the build, suggests property tracking rebuild if data is sparse
  • Click-to-open source files — search results and diagnostics with file paths now open the source file at the exact line/column on click
  • Comprehensive tree view telemetry — all node expansions and item clicks now tracked (treeExpand, treeClick)
  • New telemetry events: buildCheck, enhancedDiagnostics, treeClick

Changed

  • Faster binlog auto-load — reduced stabilization polling from 5s×3 (15s) to 2s×2 (4s) after build completes

Settings

  • binlogAnalyzer.diagnostics.propertyTrackingLevel — MsBuildLogPropertyTracking level (default: 15)
  • binlogAnalyzer.diagnostics.autoRunBuildCheck — auto-run BuildCheck on binlog load (default: false)

0.10.9 (Preview)

Fixed

  • Security: shell injection in "Open in Structured Log Viewer" — replaced exec() with safe execFile
  • Security: XSS in build timeline webview — HTML-escape target/task names
  • "message must be set" TypeError — guarded all chat message creation sites against empty content
  • MCP client dispose — pending promises now properly rejected on shutdown (prevents silent hangs)
  • Added binlogs invisible in tree — addBinlogs now restarts MCP client so new binlogs appear immediately
  • Remove all binlogs — properly disposes MCP client and cleans up config
  • Build & Collect double-load — race condition between terminal close and file poll fixed
  • Build & Collect poll leak — interval timer now properly cleaned up
  • Comparison timeline sort — fixed wrong variable in sort comparator
  • CI: redirect loop protection — httpsGetJson now has max redirect limit
  • CI: socket leak — response streams drained on rejection
  • CI: extractBuildId — no longer matches definitionId= URLs as build IDs
  • MCP tool install cache — reset cache before install attempt so tool is found after install

0.10.8 (Preview)

New

  • CI/CD integration — download binlogs directly from Azure DevOps Pipelines and GitHub Actions:
    • Browse pipelines and runs, or paste a build URL to skip straight to artifacts
    • Filter builds by current branch, branch name, or PR number
    • Auto-detects platform from git remote; supports manual org/project entry
    • Remembers recent org/project per workspace for quick access
    • Works without az CLI for public Azure DevOps projects (direct REST API)
    • Supports both pipeline artifacts and build artifacts with size display
  • Configurable chat tools — two new settings control which tools the @binlog chat participant can use:
    • binlogAnalyzer.chat.includeAllTools — expose all available tools to the model
    • binlogAnalyzer.chat.additionalToolPatterns — selectively include extra tools by name pattern
  • Configurable MCP server args — binlogAnalyzer.mcpServerArgs setting with ${binlog} placeholder for alternative MCP servers
  • Compare button in tree view — diff icon in title bar when 2+ binlogs are loaded

Fixed

  • Persistent loading bar removed — tree view prefetch runs silently in background

0.10.6 (Preview)

New

  • Configurable chat tools — two new settings control which tools the @binlog chat participant can use:
    • binlogAnalyzer.chat.includeAllTools — expose all available tools (file editing, terminal, other MCPs) to the model
    • binlogAnalyzer.chat.additionalToolPatterns — selectively include extra tools by name pattern
  • Compare button in tree view — a diff icon appears in the Binlog Explorer title bar when 2+ binlogs are loaded, giving quick access to the comparison timeline

Fixed

  • Persistent loading bar removed — the tree view no longer shows a loading indicator during background cache warming; prefetch runs silently

0.9.0 (Preview)

Breaking

  • Unified on BinlogInsights.Mcp — both the tree view and Copilot Chat now use BinlogInsights.Mcp. The baronfel.binlog.mcp dependency is no longer required.
  • Removed secrets commands — Binlog: Scan for Secrets and Binlog: Redact Secrets commands removed (were non-functional stubs). Use @binlog /secrets for guidance on using Structured Log Viewer for secrets scanning and redaction.
  • Removed redaction settings — binlogAnalyzer.redaction.* settings removed (depended on uninstalled BinlogTool).

New

  • Per-project CodeLens diagnostics — error/warning counts on .csproj files now show counts for that specific project, not global totals.

Fixed

  • Removed stdout logging workaround — BinlogInsights.Mcp 0.2.0 fixes the console logging bug; Logging__Console__LogToStandardErrorThreshold env var no longer needed.

0.8.2 (Preview)

New

  • Skip Restore option in Build & Collect — quick pick to run --no-restore, producing a cleaner binlog focused on compilation (skips noisy NuGet restore entries)
  • Improved summary view — filters out restore-phase project entries (_IsProjectRestoreSupported), shows project filenames instead of full paths, per-project ✅/❌ status with error/warning counts, sorted by duration

0.8.1 (Preview)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed Copilot Chat hanging — BinlogInsights.Mcp console logging was corrupting stdout JSON-RPC; added env var workaround to redirect logs to stderr
  • Fixed chat not auto-opening — configureMcpServer was blocking on cold start; now fire-and-forget for settings write
  • Fixed chat not opening from Structured Log Viewer — activeBinlogs path now treated as interactive

0.8.0 (Preview)

New

  • BinlogInsights.Mcp integration — Copilot Chat now uses BinlogInsights.Mcp (28 tools) for AI-assisted build investigation, replacing baronfel.binlog.mcp for Copilot Chat
  • New slash commands — /perf (deep performance analysis with severity thresholds) and /incremental (build incrementality report)
  • New MCP tools available — binlog_overview, binlog_imports, binlog_items, binlog_nuget, binlog_compiler, binlog_preprocess, binlog_compare and more
  • No load_binlog step — BinlogInsights handles loading per-tool call, eliminating a common failure mode

Changed

  • /secrets command — now directs users to use MSBuild Structured Log Viewer for reliable secrets scanning and redaction, with a note that you can launch it directly from the extension
  • Updated system prompts — all chat prompts reference BinlogInsights tool names for better Copilot accuracy
  • Auto-install — extension auto-installs BinlogInsights.Mcp dotnet tool on first use

0.7.3 (Preview)

Improvements

  • Dev Drive recommendation — suggests enabling ReFS Dev Drive for I/O-heavy builds (reduces Copy task overhead dramatically)
  • MSBuild Server — added MSBUILDUSESERVER=1 to parallel builds suggestion for better CLI incremental caching
  • Static Graph Restore — restored RestoreUseStaticGraphEvaluation=true (20s+ savings in large builds, was accidentally dropped)
  • Project graph shape — new guidance on wide vs deep dependency graphs (40% faster clean, 20% faster incremental)
  • Inline task overhead — warns about RoslynCodeTaskFactory inline tasks (~1s vs ~3ms compiled)
  • BuildCheck — recommends dotnet build /check for first-time diagnostics
  • RunAnalyzersDuringBuild — added as alternative to RunAnalyzers for VS startup perf

0.7.2 (Preview)

Improvements

  • Enhanced perf playbook with dotnet/skills best practices — severity thresholds (RAR >5s/>15s, analyzers <30% of Csc, node utilization >80%, single target >50%), build duration benchmarks
  • Hardlinks for Copy — added CreateHardLinksForCopyFilesToOutputDirectoryIfPossible to playbook and optimize flow
  • Conditional analyzer disable — fixed optimize prompt to use Condition="'$(ContinuousIntegrationBuild)' != 'true'" pattern instead of global /p:RunAnalyzers=false, preserving CI enforcement
  • Incrementality guidance — added FileWrites registration, Returns vs Outputs distinction, bin/obj clash detection, GlobalPackageReference scope warning
  • Build command fix — optimize flow now includes -m flag for parallel builds
  • NuGet restore separation — explicit dotnet restore + dotnet build --no-restore pattern in optimize prompt

0.7.1 (Preview)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed @binlog chat commands returning "No binlog MCP tools found" — restored writing MCP server config to user-level mcp.json which Copilot Chat needs for tool discovery

0.7.0 (Preview)

New Features

  • Loading spinner in status bar — shows ⟳ Loading 1 binlog... with animation while MCP client initializes, then switches to final state with error/warning counts

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed cross-session binlog bleed — binlog paths no longer leak across workspaces; now stored in globalState keyed by workspace URI
  • Fixed binlog persistence on workspace change — "Set Workspace Folder" pre-saves binlog paths under the target workspace key so they survive the reload
  • Fixed stale mcp.json entries — extension no longer writes binlog paths to user-level mcp.json; cleans up old entries on activation
  • Telemetry diagnostic output — "Binlog Analyzer Telemetry" output channel shows init status and event tracking for debugging

0.6.0 (Preview)

New Features

  • Optimize Build flow — 🚀 "Optimize build..." action in Binlog Explorer with 8 optimization categories (parallel builds, CoreCompile, file copy, incrementality, RAR, NuGet, artifacts output, build caching). Copilot applies selected optimizations, rebuilds, and loads both binlogs for comparison.
  • MSBuild team best practices — optimization playbook enriched with recommendations from dotnet/msbuild issues (#2015 RAR, #4025 NuGetSdkResolver, #3135 self-time, #13206 incrementality anti-patterns, #12884 Copy batching)
  • RAR optimization option — dedicated "Optimize RAR" suggestion: DisableTransitiveProjectReferences, trim unused PackageReferences
  • Artifacts Output Layout — suggests --artifacts-path (.NET 8+) for centralized build output

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed rebuild popup noise during optimize flow — optimizeInProgress flag suppresses binlog watcher notifications while optimization build runs
  • Fixed premature comparison loading — replaced unreliable file watcher with user-triggered "Compare Results" button (MSBuild creates binlog at build start, not end)
  • Fixed /compare token limit — slimmed down compare prompt and skips conversation history to stay within token budget
  • Fixed telemetry not reporting — @microsoft/* transitive dependencies (1DS SDK) were missing from VSIX; now bundled correctly

Improvements

  • Full telemetry coverage — all 10 user-facing commands and 8 slash commands now tracked, plus error tracking in chat participant and MCP client
  • Faster startup — top-level imports instead of inline require(), cached findBinlogMcpTool() result, parallelized MCP config + tree client startup, fire-and-forget cleanup
  • MCP config writes non-blocking — updateUserMcpJson no longer blocks the critical path

0.5.0 (Preview)

New Features

  • E2E test suite — VS Code integration tests via @vscode/test-electron (16 tests covering extension discovery, manifest validation, activation)
  • validateBinlogPath — rejects non-.binlog files with clear error messages
  • Workspace flow tests — 15 scenario tests covering open binlog → select workspace → switch binlog → update workspace

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed workspace false positives — workspaceMatchesBinlog now respects directory boundaries (C:\src\app no longer matches C:\src\app-v2)
  • Fixed project deduplication — projects with same filename in different directories (e.g. two Common.csproj) are no longer dropped
  • Fixed severity classification — isError/isWarning use exact matching; WarningAsError correctly classified as error
  • Fixed line/column 0 handling — explicit line 0 is preserved instead of silently becoming 1
  • Fixed NaN line numbers — non-numeric line values default to 1 instead of NaN
  • Fixed filter case sensitivity — filterDiagnosticsBySeverity now works with any casing
  • Fixed perf comparison case sensitivity — Build and build are merged as one item
  • Fixed extractFileName trailing separator — C:\src\ returns src instead of full path
  • Fixed negative durations — clamped to 0 to prevent "-0.1s" labels

0.4.0 (Preview)

Improvements

  • Workspace mismatch warning — when loading a binlog from a different project, shows a non-intrusive warning with "Set Workspace Folder" button instead of auto-reloading
  • Smarter project label — Projects node shows the binlog's source directory name when workspace doesn't match, instead of a stale workspace name
  • No more file pollution — removed binlog-instructions.md / copilot-instructions.md creation; extension no longer writes any files to your project directory
  • Clean folder open — "Set Workspace Folder" uses vscode.openFolder for a clean transition without multi-root workspace prompts
  • Binlog persistence across reloads — binlog paths survive window reloads (workspace folder changes) via globalState, auto-loading silently on re-activation

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed extension self-activating — removed over-eager globalState auto-loading that caused the extension to steal chat focus on every VS Code startup; now only auto-loads from activeBinlogs setting or globalState (with narrow activation events)
  • Fixed "save workspace" dialog — replaced updateWorkspaceFolders with vscode.openFolder to avoid VS Code prompting to save untitled workspace files
  • Fixed timeline button showing without binlog — gated behind binlog.hasLoadedBinlogs context key

0.3.0 (Preview)

New Features

  • 📊 Build Timeline webview — visual horizontal bar chart of target/task durations and project build times with summary stats
  • 📊 Comparison Timeline webview — side-by-side bar chart comparing two binlogs with per-item % delta, NEW/REMOVED badges, and color-coded faster/slower indicators
  • 🔍 CodeLens on project files — .csproj/.vbproj/.fsproj files show "Analyze with @binlog", error/warning counts, and "Build Timeline" as clickable CodeLens
  • 💡 Quick Fix code actions — "Fix with Copilot" and "Suppress with #pragma" quick fixes on every binlog diagnostic in the Problems panel
  • 🔗 Open in Structured Log Viewer — right-click a loaded binlog in the tree to open in the desktop app (with fallback to download if not installed)
  • 📊 Enhanced status bar — shows error/warning counts alongside binlog count (e.g., 📄 2 binlogs · ⚠ 5 · ❌ 12)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed Problems panel — was always empty; now populates from MCP get_diagnostics data with click-to-navigate to source file and line
  • Fixed false "rebuild detected" notifications — now checks file mtime instead of reacting to access-only filesystem events
  • Fixed workspace folder switch losing binlogs — binlog paths now persist in globalState; workspace folder changes re-apply MCP config and copilot instructions automatically
  • Fixed "Set workspace folder" appending instead of replacing — now replaces all workspace folders with the selected one
  • Fixed chat participant crashing on tool history — corrupted tool call/result history from previous turns no longer causes invalid_request_body errors; auto-retries with fresh context
  • Fixed stale MCP server entries — cleans up broken binlog-mcp entries with bare command names from workspace settings

Improvements

  • Zero duplicate MCP calls — diagnostics provider reuses tree view's prefetched data via event instead of making a separate get_diagnostics call
  • Progress notifications — workspace folder changes show "Setting workspace folder..." progress
  • Binlog Explorer re-focuses after workspace folder changes
  • Cross-machine dialog now routes to smart setWorkspaceFolder with candidate detection

0.2.0 (Preview)

New Features

  • /perf command — deep performance analysis with prioritized actionable optimization suggestions (🔴 high / 🟡 medium / 🟢 quick wins)
  • /incremental command — analyze build incrementality using target skip/execution ratios, find targets that rebuild unnecessarily
  • Copy support — Ctrl+C copies selected tree item; right-click context menu on errors, warnings, perf items; "Copy All Errors/Warnings" on section headers
  • .binlog file association — open .binlog files directly in VS Code via File > Open or drag & drop

Improvements

  • Faster activation — reduced startup delays by ~2.5s (MCP fast-retry, earlier settings load, workspaceContains activation)
  • Better performance prompts — system prompt includes MSBuild optimization playbook mapping targets to specific properties/flags
  • Fixed tool names — system prompt now references correct MCP server tools (search_binlog, search_targets_by_name, etc.)
  • Fixed Slowest Tasks showing 0ms — parser now checks totalDurationMs field

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed load_binlog parameter discovery (uses listTools() to find correct param name)
  • Fixed baronfel.binlog.mcp link in README

0.1.0 (Preview)
