The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[1.7.7] - 2026-05-10

Fixed

• Smart shopping family suppression — La logica recentlyExhausted (prodotti terminati < 14gg) bypassava erroneamente anche la suppression per shopping_name family, causando falsi positivi: prodotti come Yaourt Vanille apparivano come urgenti anche con 2kg di Yogurt in stock, Salame Paesano con 1kg di Affettato in stock, Gran bauletto rustico con più pani in stock. Ora recentlyExhausted bypassa solo il check token-based (match lasco), mentre la family suppression per shopping_name si applica sempre.
• Shelf life pre-warming nel cron — Il cron ora chiama prewarmShelfLifeCache() ogni 5 minuti, precaricando via Gemini AI la shelf life degli item aperti in inventario (max 5 item per ciclo) prima che l'utente li visualizzi. Questo elimina il delay percepibile al primo click su "Aperto il...".

[1.7.6] - 2026-05-10

Fixed

• shopping_name troncato (Piadina) — Il prodotto "Piadine medie" aveva shopping_name='Pi' (troncato), non veniva aggruppato correttamente nella famiglia. Corretto in Piadina.
• Family merges DB — Grana Padano ora sotto Formaggio (era Grana singleton), Prosciutto cotto ora sotto Affettato, Panna acida ora sotto Panna.
• daily_rate su periodo effettivo — Il tasso di consumo giornaliero usava first_in → now come finestra, diluendo il rate con periodi in cui il prodotto era già esaurito (es. aglio esaurito a 34gg veniva calcolato su 60+). Ora usa first_in → last_activity (ultimo acquisto o ultimo uso), più preciso per le previsioni di riordino.
• Anomaly dismiss key stabile — La chiave di dismiss usava product_id + round(expected) che cambiava ad ogni nuova transazione, causando la ricomparsa delle anomalie già chiuse. Ora usa product_id + direction (phantom/missing/untracked) — stabile finché la direzione non cambia.
• Smart shopping: prodotti esauriti < 14 giorni — Prodotti terminati negli ultimi 14 giorni non vengono più soppressi dal check token-coverage o shopping_name-family: se li hai appena finiti, è probabile tu voglia ricomprarli indipendentemente dalla presenza di equivalenti in stock.
• Chat pruning — chatSave() ora esegue DELETE dei messaggi oltre i 200 più recenti dopo ogni salvataggio, evitando crescita illimitata della tabella chat_messages.
• getStats() query consolidate — Le 5 query separate (COUNT products, SUM inventory, COUNT locations, COUNT recent_in, COUNT recent_out) sono ora una sola query con subselect, riducendo i round-trip SQLite da 5 a 1.
• Bring! cleanup rate-limiting — Aggiunto usleep(300ms) tra le rimozioni multiple per evitare di sovraccaricare l'API Bring! in burst.
• Indici compositi su transactions — Aggiunti idx_transactions_type_date(type, created_at) (per getStats) e idx_transactions_pid_type_undone(product_id, type, undone) (per smartShopping), con migration automatica per DB esistenti.

Security

• CSRF protection — Le action di scrittura (inventory_add, bring_add, product_save, ecc.) richiedono ora X-EverShelf-Request: 1 oppure Content-Type: application/json. Il frontend api() invia sempre il header su POST. Questo previene attacchi CSRF cross-site tramite form HTML.

[1.7.5] - 2026-05-10

Added

• Vacuum sealed prompt on item use — After using a conf/weighted-unit item that still has remaining stock, a sliding popup asks "🔒 Messo sotto vuoto?" with Sì/No buttons and an 8-second auto-dismiss countdown bar. Default is Sì if the item was previously sealed, No otherwise. Works for all container units (conf, g, kg, ml, l) and any item previously marked as vacuum sealed.
• Multi-function appliance awareness in recipes — When the user sets a multi-function appliance (Cookeo, Bimby, Thermomix, Monsieur Cuisine, Instant Pot, Multicooker, Robot da cucina) in Settings, all Gemini recipe prompts (chat, recipe generation, weekly meal plan) now explicitly instruct the AI to consolidate as many cooking steps as possible into that single machine. Each appliance's available functions (rosolare, tritare, vapore, cuocere a pressione, etc.) are listed and the AI is required to indicate the specific mode/program at each step.
• Server-side Bring! cleanup in cron — bringCleanupObsolete() now runs every 5 minutes via cron without requiring any client page load. Items auto-added by the app (identified by ⚡/🟠/🛒 markers in their Bring! spec) are automatically removed when the smart shopping engine no longer flags them as needed. Works across all devices/clients.
• shopping_name in inventory_list API — The inventory_list endpoint now returns the shopping_name field from the products table, enabling family-based stock matching in the client-side cleanup fallback.

Fixed

• Bring! cleanup: false token match (Succo/Frutta) — bringCleanupObsolete previously indexed smart items by product name tokens. "Pera Italiana Succo e polpa frutta" (shopping_name: "Pere") caused "Succo" and "Frutta" to be retained on Bring! indefinitely even when fully stocked. Now indexes only by shopping_name tokens.
• Bring! cleanup: expired items with fresh family stock (Verdure) — When a product is expired but its shopping_name family has ≥50% fresh stock from other products (e.g. Minestrone tradizione scaduto 01/05 but 590g fresh Verdure in freezer/pantry), it is no longer flagged as critical and is removed from the shopping list.
• Bring! remove: catalog items not removed (Formaggio/Käse) — bringRemoveItem() and bringCleanupObsolete() now try both the Italian display name and the Bring! internal German catalog key (e.g. Käse for Formaggio). Previously, catalog items with a German key were silently not removed.
• Barcode scanner: EAN auto-submit on manual input — Typing or pasting a valid 8/13-digit EAN in the manual barcode field now auto-submits immediately without needing to press a button. Checksum validation gives a warning toast for invalid codes without blocking entry.
• Shopping list: isExpiringSoon false positives — Products bought in bulk that expire naturally in 3 days (e.g. fresh produce) were flagged medium urgency on the shopping list despite having 100%+ stock. Now requires pctLeft < 50% before triggering.
• Shopping list: expired batch with fresh restock suppressed — Products with an expired batch AND a recent fresh restock (≥50% fresh stock) are no longer flagged critical for shopping. The expired-batch UI banner on the dashboard handles the disposal prompt instead.
• Shopping list: cross-device cleanup — Client-side cleanupObsoleteBringItems() now detects app-added items by their spec markers (⚡/🟠/🛒) instead of a per-device localStorage map, making cleanup work correctly on all clients including newly logged-in devices. Throttle reduced from 30 minutes to 3 minutes.
• API fetch caching disabled — All api() calls in the frontend now set cache: 'no-store' to prevent stale data from browser cache.
• Shopping page multi-client sync — Added 45-second polling on the shopping page so changes made on another device are reflected automatically.

Added

• AI price estimation for shopping list — Each item on the Bring! shopping list now shows an estimated retail price badge (per unit and total). Prices are fetched from Gemini AI and cached server-side for 3 months (PRICE_UPDATE_MONTHS). The running estimated total is displayed both in the shopping tab and as a green pill badge on the dashboard stat card.
• Dashboard price total badge — The shopping stat card on the dashboard shows a green ca. €X.XX badge (top-right, same position as the old urgency badge). It updates in real-time as prices are calculated and persists across navigation via sessionStorage.
• Background price refresh — Prices are fetched silently every 2 minutes even when not on the shopping tab, keeping the dashboard badge current without user interaction.
• Smart quantity estimation — The price payload uses smart_shopping data (consumption patterns) to send the correct buy quantity per item; falls back to Bring! spec parsing, then to qty=1, unit=conf for manually-added items.

Fixed

• stat-price-total not visible on dashboard — The total was only computed when shoppingItems was populated (i.e. shopping tab had been visited). Now uses sessionStorage._pricetotal as fallback so the badge is visible immediately on any page.
• Price bar reloading on every tab switch — renderShoppingItems now checks if ALL items are already cached with matching qty/unit; if so, it applies prices from cache instantly with no loading bar or API call.
• stat-price-total real-time update — Dashboard stat now increments as each individual item is priced (not only after the entire fetch completes).
• Broken emoji in log.title — Corrupted \uFFFD character in it.json and de.json replaced with 📒.
• PRICE_CACHE_PATH undefined crash — Server-side constant was used inside functions that were called before the define; moved define to the very top of api/index.php (line 19). Affected: all get_shopping_price and get_all_shopping_prices calls from 16:33–16:40 on 2026-05-07.

[1.7.1] - 2026-05-04

Fixed

• Destructive actions now require confirmation — "Butta tutto" (throwAll) and "Finisci tutto" (submitUseAll) now display a confirmation modal before executing. The modal features a 5-second auto-confirm countdown bar (red) with an "Annulla" cancel button, matching the scale auto-confirm UX pattern already in use.
• History undo button visibility — The ↩ undo button in the transaction log was using color: var(--text-muted) making it nearly invisible. It now uses a red tint background + border (#f87171) with larger font size (1rem) for easy tap targeting.
• History undo uses custom modal — undoTransactionEntry() previously used the native browser confirm() dialog (broken in Android WebView kiosk mode). It now uses the same _showDestructiveConfirm() modal with countdown.

Added

• Demo mode (JS frontend) — Full client-side demo experience: Gemini is treated as available, Bring! write operations silently no-op, and a mock pantry + shopping list is shown; activated via ?demo=1 URL param or .env DEMO_MODE=true; a "DEMO" badge is injected in the header and Settings is hidden to prevent accidental writes
• Graceful Bring! no-key state — When Bring! credentials are not configured the shopping tab shows a friendly localised message with a direct link to the Settings page instead of a raw API error
• Use-quantity guard — Consuming more than the quantity stocked at the selected location is now blocked before the API call; the quantity input shakes (CSS input-shake animation) and a toast shows use.error_exceeds_stock
• Kiosk: smart auto-discovery rewrite — autoDiscover() now uses ExecutorCompletionService + NetworkInterface (replaces deprecated WifiManager), 60 parallel threads, 600 ms TCP pre-check per host, real-time UI feedback every 120 ms, ports [443, 80, 8080, 8443]; VPN/cellular interfaces (tun, ppp, rmnet, pdp, ccmni, etc.) are filtered out and wlan*/eth* interfaces are prioritised
• Kiosk: permissions button transform — After permissions are granted, the button changes to "✅ Permessi concessi — Continua →" (green background, dark text) and advances to step 3 on tap, replacing the separate "permissions granted" card
• Kiosk: gateway auto-pre-configuration — On successful gateway install finishSetup() POSTs scale_enabled=true + scale_gateway_url=ws://127.0.0.1:8765 to the server's save_settings endpoint so the webapp is scale-ready immediately after setup
• Kiosk: ErrorReporter init at setup start — SetupActivity.onCreate() now calls ErrorReporter.init() with any previously saved URL, ensuring errors in step 4 (gateway install) are reported even before the user confirms the server URL

Fixed

• Kiosk: wrong subnet scanned — The previous implementation picked up VPN/tun interfaces and scanned a 10.x.x.x range instead of the device's actual Wi-Fi LAN; fixed by filtering interface names and preferring wlan/eth
• Kiosk: port 443 missing from discovery — HTTPS servers were never reachable during auto-discovery; ports list extended to [443, 80, 8080, 8443]
• Kiosk: gateway install status=1 silent failure — PackageInstaller.STATUS_FAILURE (status 1) showed an error card but never called ErrorReporter; ErrorReporter.reportMessage() is now called with status code, message, and package name
• Screensaver toggle in web settings — The screensaver row was missing a <span class="toggle-slider"> inside the <span class="toggle-switch"> wrapper, so no slider was rendered; corrected to use the same toggle-row / toggle-switch / toggle-slider structure as all other settings toggles
• antiwaste.title translation — IT and DE locale files were missing the antiwaste.title key, causing a raw key string to appear in the anti-waste section header; added to both it.json and de.json

Kiosk (v1.4.0 → v1.5.0)

• autoDiscover() fully rewritten (CompletionService, NetworkInterface, TCP pre-check, real-time feedback, correct LAN subnet)
• Port 443 added to discovery scan
• Permissions button transforms after grant (onPermissionsGranted())
• ErrorReporter.init() called at SetupActivity.onCreate()
• ErrorReporter.reportMessage() called on gateway install failure
• finishSetup() pre-configures gateway via save_settings API call

[1.6.0] - 2026-05-03

Added

• Dashboard skeleton loading — Stat cards (Dispensa / Frigo / Freezer) show an animated shimmer placeholder (…) instead of the jarring 0 flash that appeared for 3–5 seconds before data loaded; the loading class is applied before the API call and removed atomically when data arrives
• Webapp startup preloader — Full-screen spinner overlay during initial app load, fades out after the dashboard is ready
• Webapp update notification — A dismissible top banner alerts the user when a newer GitHub release is available (checked once every 6 hours, comparison based on published_at)
• Native Android update banners — Both Kiosk (v1.4.0) and Scale Gateway (v2.1.0) show a native top bar when a newer APK is available, with one-tap download and install

Fixed

• APK install conflict — Replaced ACTION_VIEW-based APK install with the PackageInstaller.Session API (API 21+) in both Kiosk and Scale Gateway; the session-based approach correctly handles:
  • STATUS_PENDING_USER_ACTION → automatically launches the system confirmation dialog
  • STATUS_SUCCESS → success toast
  • STATUS_FAILURE_CONFLICT / STATUS_FAILURE_INCOMPATIBLE → AlertDialog offering to uninstall the old app (signature mismatch) before reinstalling
• Cooking mode z-index — Update banner and app header are now hidden when body.cooking-mode-active is set, and the cooking overlay z-index was raised to 99998 so it can no longer be obscured by UI chrome
• Version-aware error reporting — GitHub Issues are only created when the client is running the latest released version, avoiding noise from stale deployments; non-semver tag names (e.g. "latest") are treated as "always up-to-date"
• XOR-obfuscated GitHub token — The PAT used for GitHub API calls is stored as an XOR-encoded hex string in both the PHP backend and Kotlin apps to prevent accidental exposure via secret scanning

Kiosk (v1.3.0 → v1.4.0)

• FileProvider + REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission added
• APK download destination moved to getExternalFilesDir(null) (no storage permission needed)
• PackageInstaller self-update with signature-conflict recovery
• BLE scale gateway update banner with download + install flow

Scale Gateway (v2.0.0 → v2.1.0)

• Same FileProvider + permission + PackageInstaller changes as Kiosk
• Update banner for self-update
• CI workflow now triggers on develop branch (in addition to main)

[Unreleased] - 2026-04-30

Fixed

• Low-qty banner false positive — A "suspiciously low quantity" review alert is now suppressed for a partially-used inventory entry when one or more sibling entries for the same product (identified by barcode, or name+brand as fallback) exist in other locations with stock > 0. Prevents noise like "191 ml of milk" when 11 sealed packages are stored in the pantry.

Changed

• Non-alarmist expired banner — Banner icon, CSS class, and title suffix now adapt to the getExpiredSafety() level:
  • ok (long-life products, freezer within margin): green banner, ✅ icon, "— Scaduto (ancora ok)"
  • warning (items that should be inspected): amber/yellow banner, 👀 icon, "— Scaduto (controlla)"
  • danger (raw meat, dairy, fish, etc.): unchanged red 🚫 banner and "— Scaduto!" title
• Added expiry.expired_suffix_ok and expiry.expired_suffix_warning i18n keys to all three language files (IT/EN/DE)
• Added banner-expired-ok and banner-expired-warning CSS variants (green / amber) in style.css

[1.5.0] - 2026-04-28

Added

• Expired banner for opened products — Products whose opened-product shelf-life has passed (e.g. fridge cream opened 6 days ago) now appear in the top notification banner, not just the dashboard list
• Safety-aware expired banner — Each expired banner item shows a contextual safety tip (from getExpiredSafety()); danger-level items (fridge dairy/meat/fish) get an intense red banner and "L'ho buttato" as the primary button; safe/warning items keep the original button order
• AI model fallback — All Gemini API endpoints (expiry scan, product identification, chat, recipe non-streaming, shopping name classifier) now try gemini-2.5-flash first and fall back to gemini-2.0-flash automatically, matching the resilience already in place for recipe streaming
• Friendly AI quota message — When the AI returns a quota/rate-limit error the user sees "Quota AI esaurita. Riprova tra qualche minuto." instead of the raw API error string
• Cooking TTS auto-read — Each recipe step is read aloud automatically when navigating forward or backward; the first step is also read when entering cooking mode
• Cooking timer 10-second warning — When a cooking timer reaches 10 seconds the TTS announces "Attenzione! [label]: mancano 10 secondi!"
• Cooking recipe completion announcement — "Ricetta completata! Buon appetito!" is spoken via TTS when the last step is confirmed

Fixed

• Cooking TTS gate — speakCookingStep() was blocked by the global tts_enabled setting; the _cookingTTS toggle (🔊/🔇 button) is now the only gate; browser Web Speech API is used by default without requiring TTS configuration in Settings
• Anomaly dismiss label — The "La quantità è giusta" button now appends the current inventory quantity, e.g. "La quantità è giusta (2 pz)", so the action is unambiguous
• i18n sync — Added timer_warning_tts, recipe_done_tts, error.ai_quota keys to all three language files (IT/EN/DE)

Added

• Generic shopping names — Products are grouped by type ("Latte", "Affettato", "Pasta") rather than brand; computed via an expanded keyword map with Google Gemini AI as fallback for unknown products
• Bring! auto-migration — Existing list items with old specific names are silently migrated to generic names on every list load, throttled to once per 10 minutes
• Bring! catalog coverage — All 93 shopping_name values now resolve to a German Bring! catalog key (icons and categories in the Bring! app); 24 aliases added to cover previously unmatched names
• Auto-add to Bring! on depletion — When a product reaches zero the app adds it to Bring! automatically using the generic shopping name, with the specific product name and brand in the specification field
• Finished-product confirmation banner — Instead of silently deleting zero-stock entries, a banner prompts the user to confirm; banner title includes the last 3 digits of the product barcode for easier identification
• Anomaly detection banner — Dashboard notifications for suspicious inventory/transaction mismatches and consumption prediction errors, with one-tap inline correction
• SSE recipe streaming — Recipe generation streams live via Server-Sent Events; Gemini agent feedback is shown in real time as it is generated
• Smart alert banners — Configurable expired-only mode with explanatory messages; banner buttons are fully internationalized

Fixed

• Scale double-deduction — Multiple BLE stable readings of the same weight no longer fire duplicate inventory_use events; JS preserves the confirmation sentinel on submit and PHP rejects a second out transaction for the same product within 12 seconds
• Kiosk native TTS — CI workflow now builds the APK on develop branch too; the native Android TextToSpeech bridge bypasses Web Speech API voice-availability issues without requiring offline voice packs
• TTS voice loading — Retries for up to 10 seconds on page load; shows a message if no voices are available and offers a manual refresh button
• Bring! migration — Corrected two bugs: wrong removal API (DELETE /item → PUT remove=item) and wrong purchase key sent to Bring! (Italian shopping name → German catalog key), which previously created Italian/German duplicate entries
• Gemini 429 rate limiting — API calls are retried with exponential backoff; recipe requests are capped at 5 per minute with a dedicated rate-limit bucket

Performance

• Gemini calls centralized — All Gemini API requests go through a single callGemini() helper with intelligent backoff; Gemini removed from the product-selection and bringSuggest flows in favour of fast offline logic

[1.3.0] - 2026-04-18

Added

• Expired product banner — Dashboard notifications for expired products with use, throw away, edit, and dismiss actions
• Expiring soon banner — Dashboard notifications for products expiring within 3 days with use, edit, and dismiss actions
• Priority-sorted notifications — Banner alerts sorted by urgency: expired > expiring > suspicious quantities > consumption predictions
• Swipe navigation — Touch swipe left/right to browse banner notifications, with dot indicators and arrow buttons
• Quick-access buttons — Inventory page shows 4 recently used and up to 8 most popular products for quick selection
• Recent & popular products API — New recent_popular_products endpoint
• Auto-refresh — Banner notifications refresh every 5 minutes while on the dashboard
• Edit from expiry banner — Correct expiry dates directly from expired/expiring notifications

Fixed

• Negative scale values — BLE scale readings with negative weight are now ignored
• Banner re-appearing after edit — Editing from a banner now persists the confirmation so it doesn't reappear on dashboard reload
• False consumption predictions — Manual inventory edits (updated_at > last restock) now use the correct baseline for prediction calculations
• Kiosk overlay blocking header — Removed injected exit/refresh buttons from the web app header in kiosk mode

[1.2.0] - 2026-04-13
