Release 1.0.19 Plan

Purpose

This release starts the shift from 1.0.18 hardening to visible feature growth.

The goal is to keep compatibility work steady while shipping personality and capability slices that make OpenJibo feel less like a placeholder cloud and more like a real assistant platform.

Snapshot

• Kickoff date: 2026-05-05
• Cloud version source of truth: OpenJiboCloudBuildInfo.cs
• Active release constant: 1.0.19

Scope

1. Persona And Identity Surface

• add natural voice responses for robot identity/personality prompts
• start building reusable content hooks for question-vs-command style responses
• keep first implementation rule-based and test-backed

2. Reliability And Device Proof

• complete update/backup/restore proof path with captures and operator docs
• continue alarm/gallery/yes-no cleanup from 1.0.18 evidence where regressions are still open
• improve short-turn STT reliability and low-signal screening

3. Pegasus-To-Cloud Platform Porting

• prioritize small source-backed slices from Pegasus/JiboOS that can be shipped safely
• keep Nimbus and stock payload compatibility as the release guardrail
• avoid broad subsystem rewrites without tests and live-capture evidence

4. Holidays And Seasonal Personality

• port holiday-aware personality responses as a visible extension of the new persona slice
• start with a small, source-backed set (for example birthdays/holidays already represented in legacy data paths)
• ensure holiday responses feel characterful while still routing through stock-compatible payloads

5. Multi-Tenant Memory Storage Foundation

• define tenant boundaries across account, loop, device, and person-memory records
• add storage abstractions that can move from in-memory/local JSON to hosted SQL/Blob without reworking behavior layers
• implement memory-ready schemas and repository contracts for user facts (names, birthdays, personal dates, preferences) with strict tenant scoping

First Implemented Slice In 1.0.19

The first delivered slice in this release is persona expansion:

• how old are you
• when's your birthday
• do you have a personality
• make a pizza

make a pizza is now wired to the legacy scripted-response identity (RA_JBO_MakePizza) with pizza-making animation ESML, based on the original skill manifests.

This slice is intentionally small and user-visible. It creates immediate personality gains while we keep deeper platform work in parallel.

Second Implemented Slice In 1.0.19

The second delivered slice is first tenant-scoped personal memory:

• store birthday from phrases like my birthday is April 12
• recall birthday from phrases like when is my birthday
• store preferences from phrases like my favorite music is jazz
• recall preferences from phrases like what is my favorite music

Memory keys are scoped by account/loop/device tenant context so one tenant does not leak into another.

Next Slices

1. Command-vs-question personality split (start with dance/twerk-style prompts, keep commands action-oriented and questions conversational)
2. Expand memory-backed personal facts (tenant-scoped birthday/preferences coverage, persistence depth, and parsing breadth)
3. Proactivity selector baseline (source-backed first proactive offers with safe throttling and stock-compatible payloads)
4. Dialog parsing expansion (more phrase variants, ambiguity handling, and transcript-to-intent guardrails)
5. Holidays and seasonal personality slice (time-scoped content backed by the new memory/proactivity path)
6. Update/backup/restore end-to-end proof (operator-run and documented)
7. STT noise-screening and short-utterance reliability pass
8. Provider-backed news/weather expansion using Pegasus-backed contracts
9. Capture indexing and retention boundary for group testing

For slices 1-5, use Pegasus phrase lists, MIM IDs, and behavior patterns as the source anchor before broadening into OpenJibo-native improvements.

Definition Of Done

Release 1.0.19 is complete when:

• planned slices have focused tests and updated docs
• regression checklist passes for the existing stock-OS compatibility paths
• live runs confirm no critical regressions in alarms, gallery, yes/no, and cloud-version diagnostics
• memory/personality storage proves tenant isolation by account/loop/device boundaries and is compatible with the target hosted cloud footprint
