Velork Alpha 0.1.6

This release adds Generative Extensions — build custom editor extensions from chat — plus a major agent prompting upgrade for faster, more proactive design-to-code on empty projects.

What's in this release

Generative Extensions

• New Extension agent mode: describe an extension in chat and Velork scaffolds, compiles, validates, installs, and smoke-tests it
• Templates for commands, status bar items, settings, snippets, themes, and language grammars
• Generative Extensions sidebar under the Extensions view to list, open, and manage generated extensions
• End-to-end pipeline: create_generative_extension → write_extension_files → compile → validate → install → runtime verification
• Extensions live under ~/.velork/generated-extensions/ with publisher velork

Agent: proactive design-to-code

• Act-first questioning policy: act first, ask only when truly blocked (secrets, irreversible changes, unresolvable ambiguity)
• Per-model prompt families with activation rules so models use write/edit instead of chatting
• Greenfield fast path: empty repos no longer block the agent — scaffold with write or shell after Figma layer mentions
• Clear separation: design data via design tools; project files via write/edit
• Todos and questions no longer delay the first implementation tool call

Chat UI

• Generative extension tool segments in the agent transcript
• Extension mode in the mode selector with dedicated prompts and tool set
