v1.0-beta_3

Hi everyone! 👋

Thank you for your amazing feedback, bug reports and patience while we continued to shape LettuceAI into a more powerful, stable and consistent experience.
This Beta_3 update is our biggest rewrite yet, improving performance, expanding model support and refining every aspect of the app.

---

🌐 New API support

Mistral AI and Groq API integration

You can now connect to Mistral AI and Groq API endpoints directly within LettuceAI.

🧠 Custom System Prompts

Create and manage system prompts across three scopes:

• App-wide (global rules)
• Model-specific (customise each model’s behaviour)
• Character-specific (fine-tune persona logic).

You can edit or reassign prompts at any time, giving you total control over the AI’s behaviour and tone.

Gesture & Process Handling

• Added swipe-to-go-back and swipe-to-quit gestures.
• A new Android process plugin and back-handler have been implemented for smoother navigation and reduced crashes when switching activities.

Backend Refactor (75 % Rewritten)

This version introduces a significant backend overhaul, focusing on:

• Performance and resource optimisation
• Clear provider-adapter architecture
• Centralised API endpoint management
• Better error handling and streaming support

These improvements will make it significantly easier to integrate future features (such as plugin systems or chat memory).

🎨 UI/UX consistency overhaul

Many pages, including UsagePage, ChatSettings and BottomMenu, have been redesigned for clarity and responsiveness.

• Buttons, icons, and avatars now follow a unified design language.
• New button components and layout fixes for dark/light consistency.
• Animated usage counters and improved filter options.
• Updated animations for smoother, more optimised transitions.

🐞 Bug fixes and improvements:

• Fixed overly bright button visuals in light mode.
• Fixed the oversized filter checkbox on the Usage page.
• Improved dark-mode input/button consistency.
• Fixed inconsistencies in chat continuation and roleplay instruction handling.
• Corrected minor style and layout misalignments.
• Support for the placeholders {{char}} and {{persona}} has been added to character descriptions. The {{char}} placeholder will be replaced with the character's name, and the {{persona}} placeholder will be replaced with the active persona's name. If the persona is not available, the placeholder will be empty.

📄 Licensing & Documentation

• Switched to GNU AGPL v3 license for stronger copyleft protection.
• Updated README badges and issue templates.
