Large Language Models (LLM) & AI Market: Trelix v3.0: Six opt-in features, audit trail added
The article documents trelix releases from v2.11.0 through v3.1.1 (last dated 2026-08-15). v3.0.0 introduced six major, opt-in feature areas: Anthropic extended thinking, a model-aware context token budget, a VS Code extension, a hash-chained append-only SQLite audit trail, OIDC SSO (resource-server mode), and query-conditioned context compression, plus an optional FTS5 declaration boost. Defaults keep all features off so a default v3.0.0 install is byte-identical to v2.12.0. v3.0.1 fixed a parser index bug and requires a full reindex; v3.1.0 and v3.1.1 addressed rendering, symlink handling and safety fixes. The audit trail is a separate opt-in SQLite DB with tamper-evident checks, and the OIDC verifier enforces asymmetric algorithms and forged-token tests.
Technical release adds LLM-aware features, opt-in audit and SSO controls that matter for infrastructure and security, but it is a project-level release rather than a major platform or regulation change.
Key Takeaways & Evidence Grounding
- v3.0.0 introduces six new, opt-in feature areas: Anthropic extended thinking, model-aware context budget, VS Code extension, hash-chained append-only audit trail, OIDC SSO, and query-conditioned context compression.
- The release span v2.11.0 → v3.1.1 comprises 68 commits, 137 files changed, and +19,829/-1,211 lines; v3.1.1 dated 2026-08-15.
- The audit trail is an opt-in, separate SQLite file (default <cwd>/.trelix/audit.db) and uses sha256(prev_hash || canonical_json(content)) to produce tamper-evident hashes.
- v3.0.1 contains a parser indexing bug that corrupted symbol/call graphs; upgrading from v2.12.0 or v3.0.0 requires a reindex.
- OIDC SSO is implemented in resource-server mode (verifies caller-held tokens), enforces asymmetric algorithms (RS256/ES256) and includes a forged-token test.
