Refined Chat v0.3.0
First tagged Refined Chat release. It also carries everything listed under 0.2.0 in the changelog, which was never tagged.
Highlights
Tool cards
- Edits draw a diff for providers that report only the replaced and replacement text (Claude, Codex, opencode), with old and new line numbers,
+X -Yin the header and the changed words highlighted inside a modified line. - Read cards show how many lines came back, or the real range of a partial read; shell, PowerShell, pwsh and cmd calls are drawn as shell cards with the full command.
- A failed call shows its error message, and a result delivered as text blocks is no longer reported as "completed without output".
- Long output folds behind a "Show more" control once a call has finished: command output keeps its start and end, code and structured data keep their first lines. Two settings (20 and 30 lines by default; 0 turns it off). Copy still copies everything and Ctrl+F opens the folded blocks it needs.
- Tool-card icons animate only while a call is running.
Replies and prompts
- Images in replies are drawn as pictures, in a row, with details on hover and a viewer that zooms (wheel, drag, pinch). Remote images wait for a click; loading them automatically is an opt-in setting, at your own risk.
- Prompt and reply times carry seconds, and the weekday or date when the message is not from today.
- A prompt that is only a pasted image is left to Paseo's own bubble.
Typography (0.2.0)
- Three independent percentage scales for replies, tool cards and code, plus optional auto-collapse of finished tools and collapsed reasoning.
Install
paseo plugin add git:GenoDevelop/refined-chat --ref v0.3.0
Requires Paseo 0.11.0 or later. Disable Beautiful Chat first: both replace the same timeline items.
Known limits
- Paseo does not pass pasted images to plugins, so a prompt with text and an image loses the image in the enhanced bubble; turning off "Enhanced prompt bubble" hands prompts back to the host (getpaseo/paseo discussion 8257).
- The screenshots in the README predate these changes, and the plugin is not yet in the Paseo catalog.
