Patches shipped: v1.6.697 → v1.6.698
Posted by Chris
These SparkBox updates are now available: v1.6.698 — Tom AI avoids repeated repairs and checks what actually worked - Tom AI stops repeating a failed action when the relevant checks have not changed, including after another message in the same conversation. After two failed attempts, it stops that action and investigates another cause. - When you ask to fix a qBittorrent login problem, Tom can now use fresh Sonarr and Radarr login checks to offer the existing credential repair directly. You still approve it first, and Tom checks the login again before reporting success. This direct path is available on paid boxes; unclear cases use the usual investigation. - Your “fixed” feedback now applies to the conversation as a whole. It no longer marks every repair attempted in that conversation as successful. Stuck-download guidance also asks Tom to investigate the import reason before proposing another scan. v1.6.697 — Matrix chat survives scheduled updates and reboots - Matrix chat: Synapse no longer dies after a scheduled update or a reboot. Every update run re-owns the app folders to your box user, and Synapse — which runs as its own user — was then locked out of its own signing key and database at the next start: sb-synapse-init sat at "Exited (1)", sb-synapse never left "Created", and the only way back was a manual chown of the Matrix folder. The Matrix setup step now hands that folder back to Synapse before it starts, every time, so a scheduled update or a restart brings your chat straight back. Update from the SparkBox dashboard, or run sudo sparkbox upgrade on your SparkBox host. If a problem remains after updating, submit a private support ticket or reply here. Include your SparkBox version and what you see; leave passwords and licence keys out.
