VoxAI IDE v2.1.0 — Terminal Overhaul, RAG Engine Rebuild & UI Polish

What's New

Claude Code-Style Terminal Mode

The terminal has been completely expanded into a full development CLI. Minimize the GUI to tray and work entirely from the console with 25+ slash commands:

• Model management — /model, /model <name>, /models to switch and list models on the fly
• Full Git suite — /status, /branch, /branches, /log, /diff, /commit, /push, /pull, /fetch, /stash, /checkout
• Project tools — /files, /search, /run, /index, /tokens
• Fuzzy model matching by name or list number

UI Overhaul

• Chat rendering rewritten for a Claude Code-like appearance — clean role labels, collapsible tool results, dimmed thinking blocks
• Input bar redesigned Cursor-style with inline model selector, mode selector, attachment button, and send button
• Icon bar replaces the old toolbar — slim 34px strip with toggle icons and centered project title
• Global theme polished: darker base (#111113), slimmer scrollbars, refined splitter handles, consistent widget styling
• Tool result folding — tool outputs now appear as one-line collapsible summaries instead of flooding the chat

RAG System Rebuild

• Unified Go engine — merged separate server and CLI binaries into a single main.go entry point
• Pre-compiled binary — vox-vector-engine.exe is now built ahead of time, eliminating the slow go run fallback
• Server failure caching — if the HTTP server can't start, it won't retry on every request
• Incremental indexing — hash-based manifest (index_manifest.json) ensures only changed files are re-indexed
• Fixed CLI bugs — correct TopKCandidates (was using token count), consistent doc_id format between HTTP and CLI paths
• Silenced log spam — urllib3, requests, PIL, matplotlib, and embedding loader logs suppressed

Token Optimization

• Automatic truncation of tool outputs, file attachments, and command results
• Old conversation history compressed into recaps
• System prompts condensed
• ~30-50% fewer tokens per request

New IDE Features

• Quick File Switcher (Ctrl+P) — fuzzy search overlay to jump to any file
• Code Outline (Ctrl+Shift+L) — classes, functions, methods sidebar (AST for Python, regex for others)
• Live Change Highlighting — AI-modified lines highlight green (added) and red (removed) in open editor tabs
• Context Window Visualization — color-coded progress bar in the status bar

Build & Release

• GitHub Actions now auto-builds a Windows .exe on every release tag
• Includes Go RAG binary, all Python packages, UI resources, and IronGate web client
• Download the zip below — no Python install required

Bug Fixes

• Chat scrolling: replaced timer-based auto-scroll with signal-based (rangeChanged/valueChanged)
• Background tool execution no longer makes messages appear silent
• Phase/Siege mode now ends with detailed summaries instead of generic "phase completed"
• Settings dialog provider section no longer squashed (now uses tabbed layout)
• Fixed Co-authored-by injection in git commits
• Fixed /dev/null → os.devnull for Windows compatibility
• Fixed content_type NameError in IronGate web client
• Fixed shell injection and path traversal vulnerabilities in terminal mode
• Fixed platform.system() replacing os.uname() for cross-platform file reveal
• Fixed shortcut collision (Ctrl+Shift+O for both Open Project and Code Outline)
