Frontier UI 1.3.3 - gentler photo lookups

Gentler on the free photo services. Thanks to @nnraiden for the excellent suggestion in #3: this release is built straight from it.

• Retry-After is honoured: when Wikimedia, Openverse or another provider answers 429 or 503, it is left alone for the time it asks (or a short default), and that cooldown is shared by every card and gallery instead of being retried in a burst.
• Wikimedia one request at a time: Wikipedia and Commons share one queue and one cooldown.
• Fallback searches run one after another, most specific first, and stop as soon as a photo has enough candidates. Each photo makes at most 10 provider requests, fallbacks included.
• Repeated searches are asked once: two tiles looking for the same thing share one lookup, and an empty answer is remembered for two minutes.
• 5 new regression tests (37/37 passing). The keyless defaults are unchanged.

Update: replace the tool with the new frontier_ui.py (Workspace → Tools), or paste it over the old one.

Frontier UI 1.3.2 - computed card facts for the model

Your model now knows what the card worked out. Thanks to @Mumtasim for PR #2.

• Tool results carry the card's computed facts (PR #2 by @Mumtasim): route distance and duration (per day on multi-day trips), pin coordinates, current weather with the forecast range, stock quotes with 1D/1M/1Y change, and link-preview results are added to the render_frontier_ui tool result, so follow-up questions can be answered without fetching again.
• Follow-up: only values that actually came back are stated, and the notes stay within a fixed size so a card can't flood the model's context.

Upgrading: download frontier_ui.py below and replace your installed tool. Nothing else changes.

Frontier UI 1.3.1 - photo fallbacks, self-starting Craft bridge, Apple Silicon

Photos for long queries, a self-starting Craft bridge, Apple Silicon. Thanks to @ondrejch for PR #1 and to u/PersonalCitron2328 for the Mac report.

• Photos for long or descriptive queries (PR #1 by @ondrejch): searches like "brown tabby Maine Coon cat" no longer come back empty - when a query finds fewer than three photos it tops up from shorter, more specific searches. Photos also load eagerly inside Open WebUI's sandbox.
• Follow-up: the fallback searches run in parallel within the photo time budget and never cost the photos the original query found; place cards (restaurants, shops) never get a photo of just the neighbourhood.
• Craft bridge starts with the container (s6 service in server/craft-apps/docker-compose.yml) - no more docker exec ... bridge.py after restarts.
• Apple Silicon / ARM hosts: platform: linux/amd64 for the Craft container.
• Maps: route lines come back after a basemap fallback or theme switch.
• Craft bridge /cli endpoint for agents; new regression tests.

Upgrading: download frontier_ui.py below and replace your installed tool. Craft desktop users: take the new server/craft-apps/docker-compose.yml (and server/craft-bridge/bridge.py), then docker compose up -d.

Frontier UI 1.3.0 - keyless photos, units, routes & links, TextureCraft

Works out of the box with no SearXNG and no API keys, plus metric/imperial, reliable routes and links, and TextureCraft.

• Photos without SearXNG or keys: Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Openverse (with credits). Optional: SearXNG, Brave, Google Programmable Search, Pexels, Unsplash. Keys stay server-side.
• Units: new units setting (auto follows the browser locale) with a per-user override. Weather and distances follow it.
• Routes on by default (walk, bike, drive, motorcycle), backup routers, and a clear reason when no route can be drawn.
• Map apps: Google Maps, Apple Maps, OpenStreetMap or GPX download (OsmAnd, Organic Maps, Garmin).
• Map links no longer hit ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE: they open via Open WebUI when "iframe Sandbox Allow Same Origin" is on, directly on phones, otherwise the link is copied with a Copy / Try anyway panel.
• More reliable tool calls: spec is passed as a JSON object, stronger JSON repair, actionable errors. Literal "\n" text fixed.
• No WebGL? Maps show a static route sketch instead of breaking.
• TextureCraft (16th ArtCraft app): read, edit and convert GLB/glTF/FBX/USD/OBJ models.
• Regression and browser tests (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit) in tests/.

Upgrading: download frontier_ui.py below and replace your installed tool. If you use SearXNG, set searxng_url (now empty by default). temperature_unit is replaced by units.

Frontier UI 1.2.1 - download fix

Fixes: Download / Open note buttons now work, and the self-hosted Craft web apps load much faster (precompressed wasm). Download frontier_ui.py below and replace your installed tool.

Frontier UI 1.2.0 - read & edit your files with all 15 ArtCraft apps

✨ Frontier UI 1.2.0 — read & edit your files with all 15 ArtCraft apps

• craft_edit — edits into a new downloadable copy (originals untouched): find/replace in documents, cells & formulas in spreadsheets, slides, PDF page ops, or any app command.
• craft_convert — docx↔pdf, pptx→pdf, xlsx↔csv, pdf→docx, psd→png, dxf→pdf, step→stl, wav→flac and more.
• craft_commands — searchable command catalogue for every app.
• All 15 ArtCraft apps: WordCraft · GridCraft · DeckCraft · PdfCraft · PhotoCraft · LightCraft · VectorCraft · DesignCraft · FigCraft · FilmCraft · EffectCraft · SoundCraft · CADCraft · SolidCraft · Craft Anything (new: SolidCraft & Craft Anything).
• Files come from the chat's attachments and are limited to the user's own files.
