trelix v2.11.0 to v3.1.1: Six Feature Areas, Every One of Them Off By Default

Seed three events into an audit database, then reach past the application and change one row by hand: $ sqlite3 audit.db "UPDATE audit_log SET principal='attacker' WHERE id=2" $ trelix audit verify --db audit.db Audit chain TAMPERED — first divergent entry id: 2 $ echo $? 1 Delete the newest row instead and it still catches it, naming id 3, even though the surviving rows form a perfectly valid chain. Point it at something SQLite cannot open and it exits 2 rather than 0, because "I could not check" and "I checked and it is clean" must never collapse into the same green build. None of that existed six releases ago. trelix audit verify is one command out of six feature areas that landed in trelix v3.0.0, and it is the one that most changes what the project is for. What the major bump actually is The span from v2.11.0 to v3.1.1 is six releases — v2.11.1, v2.12.0, v3.0.0, v3.0.1, v3.1.0 and v3.1.1, the last of them dated 2026-08-15 — 68 commits, 137 files changed, +19,829/-1,211 lines. v2.11.0 closed out the Jira and Linear connector work, which has its own story. Everything after it is a different kind of release. v3.0.0 carries six new feature areas: Anthropic extended thinking, a model-aware context budget, a VS Code extension that acts instead of merely displaying, a hash-chained append-only audit trail, OIDC SSO, and query-conditioned context compression. Alongside them, an opt-in FTS5 declaration boost for keyword ranking. It is a major bump because of scope, not breakage. Every one of those six is additive and off by default: TRELIX_AUDIT_ENABLED=false , TRELIX_OIDC_ENABLED=false , TRELIX_LLM_THINKING_ENABLED=false , TRELIX_RETRIEVAL_COMPRESSION=false , declaration_boost_enabled False, and context_token_budget still the exact 12_000 integer it was in v2.12.0. A default v3.0.0 install assembles context byte-identically to a default v2.12.0 install, and there is a test that proves it rather than a release note that asserts it.
