NestQuest Release Notes

Version 0.2.0 — 2026-09-14

Scope

Second release of NestQuest, shipping Feature 02 — the persistence layer the integration owns outright:

• Integration-owned SQLite database (nestquest.db) in the Home Assistant config directory: WAL journal mode, foreign-key enforcement, executor-backed access so the event loop never blocks.
• Schema v1 for all eight tables: children, admin_users, schedule_rules, task_definitions, presence_schedules, presence_overrides, task_instances, completion_events — validated by declarative CHECK constraints (no triggers).
• Versioned migration runner: on first start the database is created at schema version 1; later starts are a verified no-op; a failed migration rolls back to its prior version. A database stamped with a future version refuses to start.
• Typed DAO layers for every table so no other feature writes raw SQL. Assignment validation is atomic; completion_events is strictly append-only — the DAO exposes no update or delete method, and a package-wide guard keeps mutation SQL out of every module.
• Startup handling for missing (created fresh), valid (opened), and corrupt (logged, retried, left byte-identical for backup restore) database files via a read-only integrity_check preflight that cannot write or create sidecars. An existing zero-byte file is treated as corrupt and left untouched, not silently initialized.

Requirements

• Minimum Home Assistant version: 2024.6.0.

Known Limitations

• No entities, services, or calendar platforms yet — the integration does not expose sensors, calendar events, or service calls in this release (data layer only).
• No business logic yet: nothing materializes task instances and nothing can be completed — storage and schema only.
• Single-instance only — one NestQuest config entry is permitted per Home Assistant instance.

Rollback

Downgrading from 0.2.0 to 0.1.0 removes the data layer's code but leaves the nestquest.db file in place (0.1.0 never touches it, and no code path deletes an existing database). The file is compatible with this release's schema version stamp; a later reinstall of 0.2.0 or newer resumes from the stored version without re-migrating.

HACS installs:

1. Downgrade via HACS (HACS > Integrations > NestQuest > Redownload > 0.1.0) or Remove entirely.
2. Restart Home Assistant.
3. If removing: delete the integration in Home Assistant (Settings > Devices & Services > NestQuest > Delete), then restart Home Assistant again.

Manual installs:

1. Replace or delete the custom_components/nestquest/ directory in your Home Assistant configuration directory.
2. Restart Home Assistant.

Data: the nestquest.db file (plus any -wal/-shm sidecars) is intentionally left untouched by both upgrade and rollback — back it up before upgrading. Removing the integration via Home Assistant deletes the config entry but not the database file.

Repository operators: instead of uninstalling, git-revert the release merge on main. The database file is independent of the code and is never deleted by code.

Version 0.1.0 — 2026-09-13

Scope

First release of NestQuest, a Home Assistant custom integration for managing chores, custody schedules, and house coordination. This release ships the integration foundation/configuration scaffold only (Feature 01):

• Integration package and manifest, plus HACS metadata (hacs.json).
• Shared constants module.
• Single-instance config flow for initial setup.
• Setup/unload lifecycle handling with an options-reload listener.
• Options flow for configuring horizon_days, day_rollover_time, and panel_idle_timeout.
• SQLite storage path resolver — path resolution only; the database itself is not created in this release.
• Test harness (pytest via uv).

Requirements

• Minimum Home Assistant version: 2024.6.0.

Known Limitations

• No entities, services, or calendar platforms yet — the integration does not expose sensors, calendar events, or service calls in this release.
• Single-instance only — one NestQuest config entry is permitted per Home Assistant instance.
• The integration does not yet create its database file; storage is limited to resolved configuration paths.

Rollback

v0.1.0 is the first release — there is no previous NestQuest version to downgrade to, so rollback means complete removal. This release performs no data or schema migrations.

HACS installs:

1. Remove the NestQuest integration via HACS (HACS > Integrations > NestQuest > Remove).
2. Restart Home Assistant.
3. Remove the integration in Home Assistant (Settings > Devices & Services > NestQuest > Delete), then restart Home Assistant again.

Manual installs:

1. Delete the custom_components/nestquest/ directory from your Home Assistant configuration directory.
2. Restart Home Assistant.
3. Remove the integration in Home Assistant (Settings > Devices & Services > NestQuest > Delete), then restart Home Assistant again.

Data: the integration does not yet create its own database file, so there is no application data. However, Home Assistant persists the config entry and its selected options — removing the integration deletes that configuration, and the option values (horizon_days, day_rollover_time, panel_idle_timeout) will be lost on removal.

Repository operators: instead of uninstalling, you may git-revert the release merge on main, which removes the integration files entirely. End users should use the uninstall path above.
