Foma v0.6.1-alpha.1

Foma v0.6.1-alpha.1

Changed

• Actant creation and auto-linking — refined @ creation flows so new actant references stay in-line, preserve formatting, support aliases without auto-correcting text, and keep the caret in the editor.
• Actant templates — improved the Template Library, template filters, copy actions, structure editing, and manual cleanup controls for tables, callouts, speech blocks, code blocks, and player choices.
• Focus Mode speech writing — improved /speech behavior in Focus Mode, including speaker detection, line-limit handling, typewriter stability, keyboard speaker selection, and default speech block behavior.
• Search navigation — improved Ctrl+F results so selected matches jump into context, highlight more clearly, and keep the results panel readable.
• Worldbuilding and sync indicators — improved unsynced-change bubbling, parent tooltip detail, and write resilience for rapid block updates.

Fixed

• Word count and stats — fixed speech text being excluded from scene word counts and related writing/focus statistics.
• Project/document restoration — fixed cases where the last open worldbuilding document or scene was not restored after switching projects or restarting Foma.
• Spellcheck ignore scope — fixed ignored words so they persist correctly per project and behave inside /speech and /playerchoice content.
• Editor display polish — fixed light-mode cursor, entitlement badge contrast, placeholder readability, callout sizing/icon behavior, search scrollbar styling, and palette/theme scroll preservation.
• Orphan block recovery — added manuscript repair safeguards to detect and recover detached scene/chapter blocks.
