v0.63.0

Features

• hot-reload keybindings when config.toml changes
• disable idle animation by default
• score visual variety and neighbour contrast from the renderer
• model palette harmony as a renderer-derived graph
• add [features] auto_poke to set the auto-poke default (fixes #664)
• add [features] auto_poke to set the auto-poke default (fixes #664)
• surface colors in the config template and /config summary
• generate a whole harmonious palette from one seed color
• make every color configurable and add palette harmony scoring
• render markdown and math as typography

Fixes

• commit refresh_pinned_todos_if_needed the tick handlers already call
• gate the test-only scroll_bench::run behind cfg(test)
• repair master after a merge orphaned the skill invocation module
• isolate auth state in the mixed-catalog model picker test
• repair a header auth test that could never pass
• stop burning 60fps full frames on an animation nobody can see
• serialize gateway env tests against the shared test-env lock
• apply the corrected palette/theme pass order on master too
• don't luminance-flip the colors a user chose on light terminals
• remove the last render-path panic in harmony scoring
• make palette repair converge, and keep semantic colors meaningful
• make generated palettes colorblind-safe and hue-coherent
• land the key-to-paint metric its call site already depends on
• drop a pinned-todos override committed without its implementation
• don't let an animation frame swallow a keystroke's redraw
• restore interleave_images, dropped by the typing-backoff commit
• correct iTerm2 inline-image sequence (cell height + tmux passthrough)
• base the typing backoff on keystrokes, not provider output

Performance

• take the terminal theme query off the spawn critical path
• record key-to-paint on every paint path and expose it
• let the decorative animation step aside while the user types

Documentation

• mark why the interleave path must take the staged images
• document color configuration and harmony scoring
