[RAIT-09]

✨ Feature Release (v0.11.0)

This release introduces the Session Manager for tracking multiple chats at a glance, moves API keys into Obsidian's Keychain, teaches agents to write Obsidian-flavored Markdown from the first message, and overhauls how agents launch in WSL mode.

🌟 New:

• 🪟 Session Manager: A new sidebar view that lists every open chat (sidebar and floating) with live status icons — ready, generating, awaiting permission, or error. Click a session to focus it, or rename and close it from the context menu; truncated titles and agent names reveal their full text on hover. Open it from the chat header menu or the command palette. (feat: add Session Manager view with live status, navigation, and rename #270, Show full text on hover (tooltip) for truncated session title / agent name in Session Manager #324)
• 🏷 Session Title in Tab Header: Sidebar chat tabs now show the session title (derived from your first message, or the name you set via Rename) instead of a static "Agent client", so multiple tabs are individually identifiable. (feat: show session title in ChatView tab header #293)
• 🔑 Secure API Key Storage: API keys are now stored in Obsidian's Keychain (secret storage) instead of plain text in the plugin's data file. Existing keys are migrated automatically on first load with a notification, and debug logs no longer contain sensitive values. (Harden secret storage and debug logging #219)
• 📝 Obsidian Markdown Prompt Injection: Short formatting instructions are added to the first message of each session so agents produce output that renders correctly in Obsidian. Enabled by default — each instruction can be toggled individually under Settings → Prompt injection:
  • Math formulas: use $...$ / $$...$$ instead of \(...\) (Fix math formula rendering in chat messages #218)
  • Note references: use [[Note Name]] wikilink syntax
  • Tables: leave a blank line before Markdown tables

🔧 Improvements:

• 🔄 Remembers All Session Options: The plugin now remembers and restores every agent option you change (such as reasoning effort), not just the model and mode. (Persist & restore all session config options (e.g. reasoning effort), not just model and mode #325)
• 🔐 Permission Request Redesign: Permission options now appear as a vertical full-width list with color-coded icons instead of a row of colored buttons. The layout stays stable regardless of option name length, long names truncate with a tooltip showing the full text, and "always reject" options are now visually distinct from one-time rejects. (feat: redesign permission request options as a vertical icon list #314)
• 🎨 Themed Toolbar Dropdowns: The mode, model, and config selectors in the input toolbar were rebuilt as theme-aware menus instead of native dropdowns, so they match Obsidian's look in any theme. (Themed Menu-based input toolbar dropdowns + flat typographic style #252)
• 📌 Context Note Badge: The active note badge is now always visible and stays in sync with the Auto-mention setting, so you can always see what context will be attached to your message. (Show context note badge in disabled state when auto-mention setting is off #253)
• 🔑 API Keys in WSL Mode: The API key field now works in WSL mode — your key is forwarded into WSL automatically, so you no longer need to add it to ~/.profile. (WSL: harden agent & terminal launch (--exec + login shell + argv) and forward env via WSLENV #312)
• 🍎 Sturdier Command Auto-Detect on macOS: Auto-detect now falls back to known install locations (e.g. Homebrew) when the shell PATH lookup comes up empty. (Setup Issue on Mac - Perpetual "Connecting to Codex..." state #302)
• 📦 ACP SDK 0.28.1: Updated the Agent Client Protocol SDK from 0.14.1 to 0.28.1. (feat(acp): migrate to @agentclientprotocol/sdk 0.28.1 #336)

🐛 Fixes:

• 🐧 WSL Agent & Terminal Launch: Fixed agents failing to start in WSL mode on some distributions (e.g. RHEL8) — exiting before connecting — and commands or paths containing spaces breaking. Agent startup and terminal commands now launch more robustly. (WSL: harden agent & terminal launch (--exec + login shell + argv) and forward env via WSLENV #312, Use direct WSL exec for absolute-path agent commands #304)
• 📜 Scroll Position on Tab Switch: Fixed a chat's scroll position jumping upward when switching to another tab and back. Each tab now keeps its place. (Scroll position is lost when switching between chat tabs (returning to a tab jumps up) #321)
• 📝 Trailing Reply Not Saved: Fixed the final part of an agent's reply sometimes not being saved, so it could go missing after reopening the session. (Reopening a saved conversation truncates the end of the last reply #320)
• 🔐 Stuck Permission Buttons: Fixed permission buttons remaining on screen after canceling a response. (Permission buttons persist after canceling a response (Stop) #326)
• 📐 Wide Math Equations: Fixed wide display math being clipped instead of scrolling horizontally. (Long display math ($$...$$) overflows and can't be scrolled (unreadable) #322)
• ⌨ Slash Commands vs Auto-Mention: Fixed auto-mention context corrupting slash command detection — commands like /compact now work reliably even with a note open. (Why do slash commands suppress the auto-mention badge? #255, Bug: auto-mention not re-enabled when slash command is deleted after typing arguments #256)
• 🔄 Saved Mode Restore Race: Fixed the mode/model selectors briefly showing the agent's defaults after starting a new session — a message sent in that window could run in the wrong mode. Saved selections are now restored before the session becomes ready. (fix: restore saved mode/model before marking session ready (#266) #281)
• 🕑 Session History Ordering: Fixed sessions not moving to the top of the history list after new activity. (bug: session updatedAt is not updated on new messages, only on creation/fork/rename #257)
• ⚙ Settings Propagation: Fixed changes made in the settings tab not applying to already-open chat views. (SettingsTab writes bypass settingsService notification pipeline – open chats don'\''t react to setting changes #254)
• 🔐 Auto-Allow Toggle: Fixed the "Auto-allow permissions" setting not taking effect on already-running agents until restart. (fix: propagate auto-allow permission setting to running agents #248)
• 🛠 Debug Mode Toggle: Fixed the Debug mode setting requiring a plugin reload to take effect. (fix: debug mode toggle now gates console output #247)
• 📎 Attachment Remove Button: Fixed the attachment remove button losing its icon when the attachment list changed. (fix: stabilize attachment remove button with stable refs #246)
• 🔌 Plugin Reload Race: Fixed an "Attempting to register an existing view type" error when the plugin is reloaded or updated rapidly. (fix: guard registerView against hot-reload race condition #244)

⚠️ Breaking Changes:

• Obsidian 1.11.4 or later is now required (for the Keychain-based secret storage).
• API key storage location changed: keys move from the plugin's data.json to Obsidian's Keychain. Migration is automatic — no action needed, but plain-text keys will no longer appear in data.json.

🚀 Upgrade:

Update from v0.10.6 — requires Obsidian 1.11.4 or later. API keys are migrated to Obsidian's Keychain automatically on first load. Markdown prompt injection is enabled by default; you can disable it under Settings → Prompt injection.
