Velork Alpha 0.1.8
A chat UX, design fidelity, and provider release: full-size image viewing, OpenRouter in the model picker, Figma comments on canvas, faster mid-stream tool execution, and a round of composer, queue, and todo polish.
Fixes
- Shell cards stuck on "running": completion now syncs from the session registry so finished commands show the correct status
- Cancelled todos: removed from the list instead of lingering as cancelled items
- Model preference reset: your last-used model is preserved when the model selector mounts
- macOS manual updates: more reliable promote path when builds include nested asar archives (staging uses original-fs)
- Opaque spill paths: agent-tools and terminal spill files show friendly labels (for example "Read tool output") instead of UUID filenames
- Subagent OS notifications: completion toasts only for top-level chats — nested subagent sessions no longer notify
Improvements
- Faster agent turns: many batch, read, write, and design tools start executing while arguments are still streaming
- Smoother chat scrolling: eased chase during streaming and when jumping to the bottom
- Streaming text fade-in: new tokens fade in as they arrive
- Composer toolbar polish: clearer mode pill with icon and label, compact approval control, cleaner attach menu
- Message queue: persists per session, smoother drag-reorder, and Enter on an empty composer sends the next queued item
- Conversation tabs: header keeps up to 5 recent tabs usable, always including the active session when opened from history
- Todo delta cards: collapsed summaries ("Starting…" / "Completed…") with expand for the full list
- Design-to-code fidelity: fetch-one-implement-one, less stubbing of nested UI, and a final fidelity review
- Design-tool feedback: richer status text and clearer structure/node retrieval feedback in chat
- OpenRouter compaction: context compaction works with OpenRouter; provider shows connection status and icon in the model picker
- Subagent status: clearer running animation; design-tool action labels are easier to scan
- Copy turn: grabs the full visible user and assistant text for that turn
New
- Full-size image viewer: click chat, search, screenshot, or attachment images for a modal with copy, download, and open-in-browser
- OpenRouter in the model selector: connect and pick OpenRouter models alongside existing providers
- Figma comments in product: comments panel from linked files, always-on canvas comment pins, and agent tools to get, add, reply, react, and resolve comments
