74 74
75 75 The optional AI Assistant sends data to the **AI provider you configure in WordPress's Settings → Connectors** (for example OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google). Generation is routed through WordPress 7.0's built-in AI Client, which supplies the credentials stored in Connectors. The plugin never handles an API key itself.

79 79 * **What is sent:** the user's prompt, the conversation history for the active session, and tool-call metadata. The plugin's built-in tools (`search_posts`, `search_pages`, `search_comments`) run WordPress's native keyword search and may include excerpts of the matching posts/pages/comments in tool results, which are then sent back to the provider as part of the agentic loop.

82 82 * **Who provides the service:** whichever provider you configured in Settings → Connectors. Which provider (and endpoint) receives the data depends entirely on that configuration. Review the chosen provider's own terms and privacy policy (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google).

84 84 **URL shortcut favicons**
85 85
86 86 When an authorized user creates a desktop shortcut to an external URL, OpenStation asks that URL for its page HTML and favicon so the shortcut can display the site's icon. The request is made from your WordPress server and sends the requested URL, the server's IP address, an OpenStation user-agent string, and normal HTTP request metadata to the operator of that site. This happens only when a user creates the shortcut. The destination site's terms and privacy policy apply.
87 87
88 +**Deactivation feedback**
89 +
90 +When an administrator deactivates OpenStation, a dialog asks one optional question about why. Nothing is sent unless you click **Send and deactivate**; **Skip and deactivate** sends nothing, and both deactivate the plugin.
91 +
92 +* **What is sent:** the reasons you ticked, the optional details you typed, the OpenStation, WordPress and PHP versions, your site language, whether the site is a network, how long OpenStation was installed, whether anyone on the site had turned it on (how many people, and how many days after install the first one did), whether the person deactivating had it on, the number of active plugins, and where the dialog was shown. Nothing that identifies you or your site: no URL, no site id, no email, no user name, no plugin names, and no IP address is stored. Each submission carries a random id used only to ignore an accidental retry.
93 +* **When it is sent:** only when you click Send in the dialog shown on deactivation. There is no background ping.
94 +* **Why it is sent:** to learn what did not work so it can be fixed.
95 +* **Who provides the service:** the request goes from your server to [openstation.blog](https://openstation.blog/), the plugin's own site, operated by Automattic. Review the [Automattic Privacy Policy](https://automattic.com/privacy/). Site owners can turn the dialog off with the `openstation_deactivation_feedback_enabled` filter.

90 99 When an authorized user opens or refreshes parts of OpenStation's Plugins window, OpenStation may request public plugin details, update metadata, and review excerpts from WordPress.org. These requests send plugin slugs, the site's locale, and normal HTTP request metadata to WordPress.org. This information is used only to display and manage plugins.

276 += 1.1.6 =
277 +* Fix: Script loading: read the concat blob's handle list, so a lazily-loaded package stops replacing wp.hooks
278 +* Fix: Shell boot: a target is one-shot and must be a real page, so a reload stops opening an empty window
279 +* Add close all windows keybinds.
280 +* Multisite: support the network admin, and scope desktops per site
281 +* App Framework — a window in one PHP file (.osx.php + optional .os.ts), Code Blue & WP Explorer rebuilt on it
282 +* App Framework DX: warn on the silent footguns, trace dispatches, open client views to third parties
283 +* Trash: the Recycle Bin rebuilt on the App Framework — 659 lines against 1,869, the frozen id claimed, the legacy window deleted whole
284 +* Station Home: the native Dashboard rebuilt on the App Framework — 931 lines against 1,323, no client script, the legacy window deleted whole

287 +* WooCommerce orders open on new window

289 +* [Proposal] Workspaces — desktops that know what they're for
290 +* Fix portal redirect: leave sub-resource fetches alone, so Jetpack's admin-bar sparkline renders
291 +* Multisite: Site Spaces — another admin opens on its own desktop
292 +* App Framework: find an app's client bundle without its TypeScript source, so packaged installs open client-view apps
293 +* Code Blue: read the error without resizing, and a read-only skill that investigates it
294 +* Drafts: name a draft's window after the draft, not the whole row
295 +* Mobile: the phone layer — wp.os.mode, full-screen apps, switcher, tab bar
296 +* Mobile: one desk on a phone — fold every desktop, switch workspaces off
297 +* Mobile: fit the installed app to a phone — display stamp, no zoom, anchored tab bar
298 +* Mobile: the native apps on a phone — one tap, one pane, pinch, and a self-updating PWA
299 +* PWA: the shell never reloads itself — a waiting worker, a build stamp, and a Reload the user takes
300 +* Chromeless: fix in-page title actions a plugin has grouped
301 +* Drafts: fix the row's interaction states and name its actions
302 +* App icons: full-bleed tiles, three purposes, and an apple-touch-icon
303 +* Mobile: the list windows as cards, a bin that looks full, Explorer's item as a page
304 +* Apps: Posts, Pages, Users, User Edit, Plugins and Comments become App Framework apps
305 +* Mio: the inner line the artwork always had
306 +* Preserve rapid extended options saves
307 +* Multisite: every site is its own OpenStation, with a site switcher in overview
308 +
309 += 1.1.5 =
310 +* Add OpenStation Beta: install builds from PR branches, trunk, or stable
311 +* Pin every action to a commit SHA, prune closed PRs' zips from ci-artifacts
312 +* Shell screen: boot the desktop from its own admin page instead of riding on the Dashboard
313 +* Register --wp-admin-theme-color so chromeless documents never compute it to transparent
314 +* Sync active Post/Page tab when navigating to Add Post from the Dock
315 +* Attribute columns save to active window id
316 +* Hotfix: a dock flyout holds a rail out, it never summons a parked one
317 +* Revisions: open the revision browser in its own window
318 +* Two low-contrast fixes in native windows: the shell document leaves quirks mode, and a neutral crumb stops pinning its paint inline
319 +* Window channels: one set of books, so a window can leave its loading overlay
320 +* Command palette: a harvested command that throws says so, instead of nothing at all
321 +* Widgets: declare the card's token contract, so a widget's muted text stops landing at 3.81:1
322 +* In-window navigation: ask before painting, so a cancelled "Leave site?" stops stranding the window
172 323
173 324 = 1.1.4 =
174 325 * Tooling: a deterministic boot-cost measurement for the shell document
175 326 * Native-window script data ships once per handle, not once per window (boot document −8.9%)
