0.10.0

[RAIT-09]

✨ Feature Release (v0.10.0)

This release brings significant performance improvements, new features, and a refreshed UI — all built on a major internal architecture overhaul.

⚡ Performance:

• 🚀 Faster Long Conversations: Significantly improved responsiveness for long sessions with many messages, tool calls, and streaming output. Scrolling is lighter and streaming feels smoother.

🌟 New:

• 📂 New Chat in Directory: Start agent sessions in any directory outside your vault via More menu → "New chat in directory...". Includes a native folder picker and a working directory banner. (Allow customizing agent working directory per session #78)
• 📝 Edit Session Titles: Rename sessions directly from the session history modal. (Generate title from conversation #147)
• 🔔 System Notifications: Get OS notifications when the agent completes a response or requests permission while Obsidian is unfocused. Configurable in Settings → Notifications. (System notifications for agent response completion and permission requests #181)
• ⌨️ New Chat Command: Start a new chat in the last active view via command palette or hotkey.
• ⬇️ Smooth Scroll on Send: Sending a message while scrolled up now smoothly scrolls to the bottom.

🔧 Improvements:

• 🎨 Obsidian-Native UI: Chat header, icons, and overall styling redesigned to match Obsidian's native look and feel. Emoji icons replaced with Lucide vector icons throughout. (style: modernize header UI for better Obsidian integration #159)
• 🔍 Bare Command Names: Agent commands can now be configured with just the command name (e.g., claude-agent-acp) for cross-platform vault sync. Built-in agents use bare names by default. (Ultratykis/feature/bare command names #177)
• 🍔 Floating Header Redesign: Floating chat header consolidated to [Agent dropdown] [More ⋮] [Minimize] [Close]. New chat, history, export, restart, and open new window are now in the More menu.
• 🔄 Command ID Cleanup ⚠️ Breaking: Renamed command IDs for consistency (open-floating-chat → open-floating-chat-view, open-chat-with-{id} → switch-agent-to-{id}, etc.). Hotkey bindings must be re-configured.

🐛 Fixes:

• 🔗 WSL Path Links: Fixed clicking file links in agent responses not opening notes when using WSL mode. (Vault-local file links in chat open empty tabs instead of opening the note #208)
• 🔗 Vault Link Click Fix: Fixed clicking absolute-path links in agent responses creating folder trees instead of opening the note. (Clicking vault links in ACP sidebar can create folders instead of opening the note #201)
• 🔧 Session Restore Mode/Model: Fixed mode and model not being restored when loading or resuming a session. (bug: restored session mode/model falls back to default instead of preserving selection #197)
• 🧹 Process Tree Cleanup: Fixed agent child processes (e.g., MCP servers) remaining after closing Obsidian or switching sessions. (Some processes doesn’t exit when closing Obsidian #205)
• 📋 Slash Command Dropdown: Fixed suggestion dropdown showing stale items when filtering commands with duplicate names.

🚀 Upgrade:

Update from v0.9.4. ⚠️ If you have hotkeys bound to floating chat or agent-switch commands, you must re-bind them due to command ID changes. No data migration needed.
