# Pre-release development

Consolidated the implemented foundation and public documentation that preceded DeepSeekBot's first release; this is development history, not a released or installable version.

## Added

- Humans can open the current Memory Repository, nested directories and files on the Host through DSH application menus, reveal a file, copy its Host path, or download its full current bytes to the browser device; ordinary file selection still uses the reader ([#574](https://github.com/BotHarness/BotHarness/issues/574), [ADR-0100](docs/adr/0100-file-open-actions-target-real-host-files.md)).
- PersonaBot creation now offers an empty Memory Repository or an HTTPS/SSH Git import. The Host checks Git, clones into staging with its existing credentials, and only creates the Bot after a successful clone; failed imports leave no Bot ([#298](https://github.com/BotHarness/BotHarness/issues/298)).
- Added durable PersonaBot identity, file-based Memory tools, and the BOT-mode creation flow ([#22](https://github.com/BotHarness/BotHarness/pull/22), [#98](https://github.com/BotHarness/BotHarness/pull/98)).
- Added the BOT-mode Channel shell, roster sections, per-scope sorting and drag movement, with durable Host-side arrangement ([#51](https://github.com/BotHarness/BotHarness/pull/51), [#64](https://github.com/BotHarness/BotHarness/pull/64), [#72](https://github.com/BotHarness/BotHarness/pull/72), [#73](https://github.com/BotHarness/BotHarness/pull/73), [#95](https://github.com/BotHarness/BotHarness/pull/95)).

## Changed

- Aligned the plugin manifest, configuration path, and client bridge with the verified DSH contract ([#27](https://github.com/BotHarness/BotHarness/pull/27)).

## Documentation

- Published the bilingual documentation site with maintained BotHarness architecture and product language, plus a stable DSH/Cordis Context and Decision Tree for plugin developers ([#26](https://github.com/BotHarness/BotHarness/issues/26), [#88](https://github.com/BotHarness/BotHarness/pull/88), [#90](https://github.com/BotHarness/BotHarness/pull/90), [#92](https://github.com/BotHarness/BotHarness/pull/92)).
