Add a GUI AI Assistant view (✨ rail) that drives serial + PDU in plain
language, without depending on Claude/Kiro. In-process function calling
(no MCP hop): Ai/OpenAiChatClient (minimal OpenAI-compatible client) +
Ai/AgentHost (hand-written agent loop) + Ai/AiTools (serial via the
existing SerialBridge with [AI] echo; PDU via ETTerms.PduCore).
BYO endpoint: Base URL / Model / API Key set in Settings → AI Assistant,
blank by default = disabled. No private endpoint ships in the app; API
key lives in Windows Credential Manager, never in settings.json or code.
Safety: destructive PDU actions (outlet off / power-cycle) require a GUI
confirmation; every tool call is written to AppLogger. Existing Serial/
PDU MCP servers (Settings → AI MCP) are unaffected and keep serving
external AI CLIs.

- New left-rail Status view (StatusView.cs) hosting the PDU tab; PDU panel moved out of SettingsView and auto-polls all 12 outlets every 3s on a background thread (no manual Refresh).
- Each outlet row gets a Control button (DataGridViewButtonColumn) that toggles the port via SNMP off the UI thread, re-reads after ~400ms, and resets the grid on disconnect.
- fix(shell): ShellChannel falls back to the user home folder when StartupDirectory no longer exists (avoids CreateProcess 267).
- docs: update ARCHITECTURE / CLAUDE / README / README.zh-TW and About changelog; bump version to 0.3.2.
- Add owner-drawn DarkScrollBar (slim, dark, rounded thumb) to TerminalView; content width excludes the bar so text isn't covered; synced on feed/wheel/resize.
- Support bracketed paste (DEC mode 2004): wrap multi-line paste in ESC[200~..ESC[201~ when the app enables it (PSReadLine/Kiro CLI), so pasted lines aren't each submitted immediately.
- Clear text selection after right-click copy so the user knows it worked.
- Bump version to 0.3.1; rewrite v0.3.0 changelog in plain language and add v0.3.1 entry; update ARCHITECTURE.md / CLAUDE.md.
New ETTerms.PduMcp stdio MCP server lets AI agents (Kiro/Claude CLI)
control SNMP PDU outlets directly. Unlike serial, SNMP is non-exclusive
so it talks to the PDU directly without bridging through the GUI.
Tools: pdu_connect / pdu_list / pdu_set_port / pdu_get_port / pdu_status
/ pdu_power_cycle / pdu_disconnect.
- McpRegistrar now registers both etterms-serial and etterms-pdu in one click
- Settings -> AI MCP shows both server paths
- publish target (PublishMcpServers) bundles both MCP servers
- bump version to 0.3.0, update About changelog, ARCHITECTURE.md, CLAUDE.md
PublishSerialMcp target now inherits the GUI's SelfContained setting, so a --self-contained true publish also produces a runtime-free ETTerms.SerialMcp. Document both publish variants in ARCHITECTURE.md / CLAUDE.md: framework-dependent ETTerms_v{Version}\ and portable ETTerms_v{Version}_portable\ (no .NET runtime install needed).
Add Settings -> AI MCP tab with McpRegistrar to one-click register/remove the Serial MCP server into Claude Code (~/.claude.json) and Kiro (~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json); read-modify-write preserves other servers, atomic write-back. Each card shows a CLI verify command.
Add PublishSerialMcp MSBuild target so a single GUI publish auto-bundles ETTerms.SerialMcp into the \ETTerms.SerialMcp\ subfolder, aligning with McpRegistrar.ResolveServerExe(). Bump version to 0.2.1. Update ARCHITECTURE/CLAUDE/README/README.zh-TW and About changelog.
- About: add v0.2.0 "Beta Version Release" changelog entry.
- MainForm: title bar now shows "ETTerms vX.Y.Z" (drop the word "Version").
- ARCHITECTURE.md + CLAUDE.md: document the publish convention --
output to src\ETTerms\Publish\ETTerms_v{Version}\, main exe renamed to
"ETTerms v{Version}.exe", ETTerms.SerialMcp published into a subfolder.

Phase 9 (AI integration) complete -- AI agents can send/receive serial
while the user watches live in the GUI, with the GUI as sole COM-port owner.
- ETTerms.SerialMcp: stdio MCP server (net8.0 + ModelContextProtocol SDK)
exposing serial_list / serial_attach / serial_write / serial_read
(waitFor + timeoutMs) / serial_detach; forwards over named pipe.
- GUI SerialBridgeServer (pipe etterms-serial) + SerialBridge endpoint;
SessionPage.WriteFromAi echoes MCP-sourced TX tagged [AI] (magenta).
- App icon: window title bar / taskbar / exe now use Choco_256x256.ico
(embedded via AppAssets); title bar shows ETTerms Version vX.Y.Z.
- About page: large Choco icon (Zoom, no crop).
- Docs: ARCHITECTURE.md + CLAUDE.md mark Phase 9 done; docs/serial-mcp-guide.md.

GUI holds the COM port exclusively; ETTerms.SerialMcp becomes a thin client that bridges over a local named pipe (SerialBridgeServer). AI TX/RX flows through the GUI channel so it is visible live in the terminal view. Tools change from open/close to attach/detach.
- Add TeraTerm-compatible sprintf2 (C printf formatting into a string var)
- Fix SVOS power-cycle script racing ahead by gating prompt waits behind output-completion markers
- Bump version to 0.1.2; docs and README updates
