Aura v1.1.0

Added

• Photorealistic MacBook Pro Hardware Simulator:
  • Unibody space black aluminum chassis with authentic 16:10 Apple Retina display aspect ratio.
  • Interactive macOS Sequoia menubar with system menus, date/time, battery, WiFi, control center, and status icons.
  • Symmetrical 3D lower aluminum deck with iconic centered lid-opening indent and subtle desk contact shadow.
  • Dynamic proportional scaling (notchScale = 0.76 desktop, 0.68 tablet, 0.52 mobile) matching actual Apple Retina hardware proportions.
• Interactive 5-State Notch HUD Simulator:
  • Full 1:1 pixel parity across all five states:
    • Idle (Resting): Mini Living Orb, camera space, and message count indicator flush with native menubar.
    • Listening: 5-bar vocal equalizer, microphone dot, Living Orb with acoustic waveform, and global shortcut hints.
    • Reasoning: Thinking orbit loader, purple cosmic vortex orb, and animated gradient shimmer beam.
    • Speaking: Real-time voice equalizer, coral sound-ribbon orb, and response bubble with one-click copy.
    • Chat Inspector: Conversation inspector with stacked user and assistant message turns and quick actions.
• Aurora Design System & Interactive Landing Page:
  • GPU-accelerated living background with radial blur aurora beams.
  • Smooth scrolling powered by Lenis and scroll progress tracking.
  • Interactive comparison matrix, dynamic capability tabs, and native Homebrew install snippet.
• Official Brand Icon Assets:
  • Integrated @icons-pack/react-simple-icons for authentic, trademark vector brand assets.
  • Added official Apple vector SVG asset to web/public/icons/apple.svg.

Changed

• Settings & Control Center Redesign:
  • Streamlined Control Center navigation by removing redundant search filters and simplifying sidebar categories.
  • Modernized liquid glass card hierarchy and tokens.
• Homebrew Installation:
  • Updated Homebrew tap install command to brew install TheShahnawaaz/tap/aura.

Removed

• Unused Workspace Connectors:
  • Removed deprecated and unstable Gmail, Notion, and SQLite connectors in favor of direct Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations.

Fixed

• Cross-Platform Web Builds:
  • Fixed platform-specific Darwin SWC dependencies to ensure reliable cross-platform builds on Linux/Vercel and CI environments.
• Notch Preview Centering:
  • Anchored notch HUD mount to strict 50% centerline container, eliminating lateral shift when transitioning between collapsed and expanded states.
