v1.10.0

[1.10.0] - 2026-04-27

A broad LSP and IDE-experience pass: cave-driven catalog resolution, a TypeScript-style hover layer, context-aware autocompletion, edit-time diagnostics with quick fixes, a .comm formatter, a guided setup flow, and a new activity-bar panel that doubles as a command dictionary. The status bar slims to an icon and Output channels are grouped under a single code_aster: prefix.

Added

• Catalog from cave — the language server now reads its catalog directly from the Docker image of the cave-selected code_aster version (extracted on demand to ~/.cache/vs-code-aster/catalogs/<version>/ and cached). A bundled 16.7 catalog ships as a zero-config fallback, so the editor still works when Docker / cave aren't installed. The selection follows ~/.cave live and an in-memory reconcile clears orphan caches when an image is removed.
• Cave version picker — right-aligned status-bar item modeled on VS Code's Python interpreter chip. Shows the current version, click to switch / install / remove. Install runs cave use <v> with y piped in and reports progress through phases (Pulling / Downloading / Extracting / Finalizing). Cancellable.
• Guided setup flow — a one-shot toast chain on first .comm / .export open walks the user through Python LSP deps (auto-installed into a managed venv at <globalStorage>/.venv), ruff, Docker, cave, and a code_aster image. Each step is opt-in with Install / Not now / Don't ask again, and the new code_aster: Run setup checks command re-fires the chain.
• Activity-bar sidebar panel with seven groups: Setup (Setup (n/5), top when failing, bottom when healthy), Quick actions (filtered per active editor), Command browser (only when a .comm is active), Versions, Settings, External links, and the bottom Setup. The brand mark gets a tightened monochrome icon for the activity bar plus light/dark variants for in-tree use.
• Command browser — five canonical families (Mesh / Material / BC & Loads / Analysis / Output), each listing the file's commands first (✓) then the rest of the catalog dim. Title-bar action runs a fuzzy Cmd+P-style QuickPick over every catalog command. Reads from CommandRegistry so it updates live without saving.
• Hover rewrite — TypeScript-style cards inside a python code fence (signature → description → details → doc link). Required vs optional read as Python defaults, BLOC branches filter by the parameters already typed at the call site, regles rules render as a bullet list, and the doc link points at demo-docaster.simvia-app.fr/versions/v17/. Surfaces the translation={...} short labels when present and is locale-aware (FR / EN via LANG). Variants for command, keyword, allowed-value literal, factor marker, plain-Python variable assignment, and legacy-command notes.
• Context-aware autocompletion — forward scanner replaces the old backward one (no longer confused by mid-edit unmatched quotes). Detects nested _F(...) scopes, suggests allowed into values when the cursor is in a value position, suggests previously-defined variables compatible with the SIMP's expected class (resolves callable sd_prod via __all__=True), and filters already-typed kwargs at every depth (not just the outer call). Snippet inserts: LIRE_MAILLAGE($0), KEY=$0, KEY=_F($0) — each retriggers the popup. Trigger characters expanded to (, ,, =, space; client-side hide-then-trigger keeps the suggest widget from sticking on "No suggestions".
• Edit-time diagnostics for .comm files with quick-fix code actions: unknown command, unknown keyword, value not in into, missing required keyword, regles violations, undefined variable, type mismatch, and a soft information note for legacy commands. Quick fixes offer fuzzy-matched replacements (Levenshtein) and allowed-value swaps. Wrapped end-to-end so a CATA quirk can never block hover, completion, or formatting.
• .comm formatter via python -m ruff format --quote-style=preserve --line-length=100. First-open prompt offers to install ruff with one click into the managed venv; PEP-668 retry with --user.
• .comm syntax grammar overhaul — TextMate rules rewritten around a function-call begin/end block with a nested parens sub-block so _F(...), tuples, and multi-line kwargs all color correctly. Lowercase scientific notation, Python constants (None/True/False), and lowercase kwarg names are now recognized. Single-quote auto-close added; wordPattern keeps _ attached.
• External links group in the sidebar (Star on GitHub, Rate on Marketplace, Browse code_aster website / documentation, Visit simvia.tech). Always at the bottom, always expanded.

Changed

• Status bar down to a single icon: $(symbol-namespace) neutral when 3+ command families are present in the file, $(circle-outline) warning-tinted otherwise. Click opens and expands the sidebar's Command browser group.
• Output channels unified under a code_aster: prefix — code_aster: Language Server (replaces the misleading Python Language Server), code_aster: Catalog, code_aster: Formatter. LSP error toasts updated accordingly.
• Language aliases are now code_aster (comm) and code_aster (export).
• Hover layout: signature first, then italic description, then details and rules, then doc-link footer. Drops the per-keyword inline # … doc strings to keep the signature scannable.
• Dream background off by default for new users (existing explicit-on choices preserved).

Fixed

• LSP restart() no longer recreates the LanguageClient, so hover / completion / code-action providers don't duplicate after cave use. Server env (catalog path) is refreshed by mutating serverOptions.options.env in place before bouncing.
• Sidebar and status bar wait for an LspServer.onReady event to re-probe, so the Command browser populates without a file switch even when the LSP starts after activation.
• Stale ~/.cave selections (image removed via docker rmi) now correctly fall back to the bundled catalog. The trash button on the version picker also clears the matching extracted-catalog cache.
• .comm CommandRegistry falls back to a full reparse when a single-line edit is outside any tracked command, so newly-typed top-level commands register immediately.
• pip install for ruff / LSP deps no longer passes --user unconditionally (broke venv installs); retried with --user only on PEP-668 errors.

What's Changed

• Feat/lsp and ide experience by @ulysse-bouchet-simvia in #32
