Bolt 0.1.155

Bolt Enterprise 0.1.155

This release fixes a freeze some users hit on first launch, adds saved-login
autofill inside Bolt's own browser (including multi-page sign-ins), and makes
the service meaningfully harder to overload under heavy use. Plus a batch of
smaller fixes and polish since v0.1.153.

New features

Saved logins fill themselves in, inside Bolt's own browser. Bolt now
recognizes a saved-login page as you land on it and offers to fill it, the
same way the browser extension does on the open web, including sign-ins split
across more than one page or step. The offer stays anchored to the tab it was
made for, so switching tabs mid-flow can't cross-fill the wrong site.

Sensitive clips stay off the record, everywhere. A clip you or an application
marks private is now excluded from clipboard history consistently on Mac,
Windows, and Linux, not just the platforms that happened to support it before.

Improvements

Bolt is measurably harder to overload. Requests are now admitted with a
budget on how many can run at once and how long one may take; when that
budget is exhausted, Bolt sheds the request immediately with a clear
retry-after signal instead of making it wait indefinitely. A stuck downstream
dependency (cache, database) can no longer starve every other request behind
it.

A window that used to open too large for your screen, or clipped on a smaller
one, now sizes itself to fit. Zen view's layout keeps its column aligned with
the window at any size, and its dropdown menus stay usable even at the
smallest supported width.

/help teaches as you browse it. Highlighting an entry now shows a plain
description of what it does alongside it, and the top of /help leads with a
clearer "type this, Bolt does this" example.

Search ranking. An app whose name matches a whole word or acronym in your
query now reliably wins the top result over partial matches.

Installing without administrator rights now works correctly on Mac, Windows,
and Linux, and a large download shows real progress instead of appearing to
hang.

Security and compliance

Windows can now read redacted regions inside an image for data-loss-
prevention scanning, rather than withholding the whole image. This closes a
gap where a screenshot or photo containing sensitive text could pass through
unscanned on Windows.

A residency control that previously accepted a setting without enforcing it
now genuinely refuses to process data outside the configured region.

Every automated enforcement decision (the AI features Bolt blocks, allows, or
masks) is now recorded in the sealed evidence chain administrators can audit,
not only some of them.

Administrators can declare their own sensitive data (a list of customer IDs,
account numbers, or similar) and Bolt's DLP engine can now match against it
exactly, with the matching rules and their strictness controlled by admin
policy rather than fixed in the product.

Fixes

Fixed a freeze on first launch. Caching app icons for the launcher could open
many database writes in a short burst on a fresh install, which could stall
the window instead of finishing quietly in the background. Bolt now keeps
this bounded regardless of how many applications you have installed, and
falls back to working entirely in memory for the rest of the session if it
ever can't write to its local cache at all, rather than retrying
indefinitely.

• Fixed a preview panel that could shrink to nothing; it now keeps a minimum
  usable height.
• Fixed a successful server response occasionally being reported as a
  network error, and a login handshake that could get stuck partway through.
• Fixed live updates not reconnecting after signing back in without
  restarting the app.
• Fixed the app getting stuck showing "disconnected" with no way to recover,
  and no longer treats a brief local network blip as proof the service is
  down.
• Fixed a failed cloud file preview being retried endlessly instead of
  showing as unavailable.
• Fixed an overlay opened from Zen view keeping Zen's size instead of sizing
  itself correctly.
• Improved search matching when setting up two-factor authentication.
• Fixed "Open in Bolt" carrying a file over: opening a file this way could
  fail with "That file was not carried over," and its preview could fail the
  same way, on every attempt.
• Fixed visual search only finding screenshots on a fresh install or after a
  model update. Your own photos and other images are now included from the
  first index pass, not just after a restart.

Upgrading

No action needed for new installs. If Bolt is currently frozen or
unresponsive after installing or updating, quit it and reinstall:
curl -fsSL https://sparcle.app/install.sh | sh. This replaces the app with
the fixed version; simply reopening a frozen install does not, on its own,
guarantee you get the fix before it freezes again.
