<!-- Thank you for making a PR! Bug fixes are always welcome, but if you're adding a new feature or changing an existing one, we'd really appreciate if you open an issue, post on the forum, or drop in on Discord --> ## Checks - [x] I am happy for maintainers to push small adjustments to this PR, to speed up the review cycle - [x] I have checked that there are no existing pull requests for the same thing Adds `author` and `intent` to client history records and DB persistence, including migration/backfill and CLI/daemon propagation. Introduces V2 record-store history version `v1` while retaining read compatibility for legacy `v0` records. Adds `--author` and `--intent` flags to `atuin history start`, plus `{author}` and `{intent}` format keys for listing/history output. Updates shell-integration docs for `ATUIN_HISTORY_AUTHOR` and `ATUIN_HISTORY_INTENT`, and updates related tests/fixtures. Validated with `cargo test -p atuin-client --lib`, `cargo test -p atuin-daemon --tests`, `cargo test -p atuin search::inspector`, and `cargo fmt --check`.

| `ATUIN_SESSION` | Unique identifier for this shell session |
| `ATUIN_SHLVL` | Tracks shell nesting level |
| `ATUIN_HISTORY_ID` | Temporary ID for the currently executing command |
+| `ATUIN_HISTORY_AUTHOR` | Optional command author identity (for example `ellie`, `claude`, `copilot`) |

These variables are used internally to track command execution and associate commands with sessions.
