- Major performance overhaul: the app now feels snappy end-to-end. The animated background renders at a locked 60fps instead of ~10fps, typing in the composer no longer stutters (245 slow keystrokes → 3), streaming responses coalesce updates instead of re-rendering the whole chat per token, and app boot fetches the provider catalog once instead of three times.
- The native folder picker and command execution no longer freeze the app while the sidecar writes session logs or discovers your editor.
- Fixed the composer getting stuck on "Agent is working..." after queued turns finished.
- Added a Cline API key path to onboarding, and you can now cancel a pending browser sign-in instead of being stuck waiting for it.
- Fixed window dragging.
- MCP server cards are now consistent across marketplace views, with a single uninstall action and setup guidance shown on installed servers.
- Fixed agentic compaction silently falling back to basic compaction for OpenAI-Compatible providers, and manual /compact never actually reaching the model when auto-compaction was off.
