API Bar 0.4.9

A major design, provider, and compatibility update bringing the Paper design system, dominant browser discovery, Venice AI, and multi-tier resilient auto-updating.

✨ What's New

• Paper Design System & High-Contrast Branding:

  • Full Paper tokens across menubar cards, provider selector tabs, and onboarding.
  • Native provider logos styled with high-contrast, WCAG-compliant brand accent colors on clean white tiles.
  • Consistent neutral secondary label percentage badges with dynamic warnings (< 20%) in high-visibility red.
  • Expanded card layout width (330pt) and clean formatting for 5-minute refresh intervals without label truncation.

• Dominant Browser Detection & Permission Alignment:

  • Automatically identifies your system's primary browser (Brave, Google Chrome, Arc, Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi, Chromium) and connects sessions accordingly.
  • Symmetrical permission buttons for Full Disk Access and Folder Access Only with clean non-clickable states when granted.

• Venice AI Support:

  • Native tracking for Venice AI consumption currencies (USD & DIEM) with Bearer token authentication.
  • Vector icon mask bundled directly in the app package.

• Window Management:

  • Settings, Onboarding, and Software Update windows reliably close with standard ⌘W and Escape.
  • Restored full native macOS File, Edit, and Window menus.

• Multi-Tier Auto-Updating:

  • Added multi-tier fallback update checking (GitHub REST API, Atom Feed, and web redirects) to bypass unauthenticated GitHub 403 API rate limits.
  • Seamless in-place download, extraction, replacement, and relaunch.
