v0.12.0

The Ferrari release: a full UI/UX overhaul — instant, multimodal, and clean.

Added

• Live slash-command autocomplete. Typing / (or @, or a sub-argument)
  opens a popup above the composer with one-line descriptions for all built-in
  commands; ↑/↓ navigate, Tab/Enter accept, Esc dismisses. Removed the ghost
  commands (/effort, /plugin, /marketplace) that autocomplete offered but
  no handler implemented.
• True multimodal input. Ctrl+V pastes clipboard images (Wayland/X11/
  macOS/WSL) as attachments; @clip.mp4 (and other containers) is parsed with
  ffmpeg/ffprobe into up to 8 evenly-sampled frames plus a metadata block.
  Both are gated on a per-model vision-capability check — text-only models get
  an explicit notice instead of silently dropped images.
• Clickable files and links (OSC 8). Markdown links and ⏺ edit/write
  headers are terminal hyperlinks: click a path to open the file in the OS
  default app. The ANSI scanners learned OSC strings so links cost zero
  display columns.
• npm auto-update. A detached background process checks the registry at
  most once a day and silently installs newer versions; the next launch prints
  a one-line notice. Opt out with BWN_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1. Startup never waits
  on the network.
• Esc interrupts the agent (with queued prompts auto-sending next turn),
  double-click word / triple-click line selection with a soft theme highlight
  and a "⎘ copied" footer flash, prefix-filtered ↑ history that preserves the
  in-progress draft, Ctrl/Alt+←→ word jumps, and mode-aware cursor shapes
  (accent bar / vim block / visual underline) hidden while the agent works.

Changed

• GitHub-grade diffs. One renderer for edit previews, write previews, and
  applied changes: dual line-number gutter, background-tinted rows, word-level
  change emphasis on replacement pairs, hunk elision, and a 40-row cap.
  NO_COLOR keeps signed - / + text.
• Bordered composer box (opencode-style) with the spinner inside showing
  elapsed seconds and an interrupt hint; minimal banner (gradient wordmark +
  aligned model/cwd/mode rows) replacing the emoji-heavy boxed header.
• Grouped, auto-aligned /help, rendered markdown for /verify, rule
  violations, /agents, and /memory (no more raw ##/**), human-readable
  verification statuses, and a consistent ✓ / ✗ / ⚠ / ⟳ message vocabulary.
• Removed fabricated telemetry: the hardcoded est. cost figure and the
  tok/s badge derived from character counts are gone; the context meter shows
  only real used/total tokens.

Fixed

• Tool denials rendered dim-grey (now red); failed background workflows were
  announced in success-green; a raw eprintln! corrupted the alt-screen
  during /resume; HTTP retries were silent for up to 10s (now a visible
  ⟳ retrying line); tool previews and the permission prompt could smear a
  multi-line command across the screen (capped at 80 cols, prompt legend on
  its own line).

Performance

• ~215× faster streaming renders. The renderer re-wrapped the entire
  transcript on every streamed chunk/keystroke/scroll; now each line wraps
  once (incremental cache), repaints are coalesced to ~60fps and applied as
  atomic frames (DEC 2026), and multi-line blocks (diffs, code, command
  output) paint in one repaint instead of one per row.
• Instant startup: dependency probes moved off the critical path; the screen
  paints chrome immediately so there is never a black frame.

What's Changed

• release: 0.12.0 — UI/UX overhaul, 215× faster renders, true multimodal, npm auto-update by @geaglin in #48
