Release v0.8.1: Agent Gateway & GSSoC Contributors Special

A huge thank-you to every GSSoC and NSOC 2026 contributor whose PRs landed in this
release — three months and 330+ commits since v0.7.1, the biggest wave of
community contributions this project has seen.

Highlights:

  • security(gateway): Agent Gateway — source-scoped permission floors for
    shell/browsing/system-control actions per invocation source (interactive/
    autonomous/web-agent/voice/gesture), a tamper-evident HMAC-chained audit
    log, and browser actions retiered by actual risk instead of blanket-safe.
    Closes a real gap where autonomous background jobs could bypass the
    safety critic and drive the browser with zero confirmation.
  • feat(gesture): Gesture Cursor Control — point to move the real OS cursor,
    pinch to click (off by default), backed by a new kinematic prediction
    layer that also cuts down motion-gesture misfires.
  • feat(calibration): On-device adaptive voice + gesture calibration —
    personalizes pinch/thumb thresholds and wake-word matching from implicit
    usage signals, no retraining, fully resettable in Settings.
  • feat(security): Autonomous Threat Containment Bridge — forensics-driven
    automated containment response.
  • feat(search): Local semantic search agent with on-device file indexing.
  • ...plus a long tail of community-contributed agents, fixes, and CI work.

Installer sizes: Windows/macOS/.deb/.rpm installers stay thin (~2.5-4.5MB,
consistent with prior releases) since no AI model weights or Python
dependencies are bundled — Heliox OS builds its virtual environment and
downloads the AI backend on first launch instead ("Auto-Setup Architect").
The Linux .AppImage is larger (~78MB) by design, not a regression — it
bundles the GTK/WebKit runtime for portability across distros that don't
ship it, unlike .deb/.rpm which depend on the system's own libraries; this
has been flat across every release back to v0.6.0, not something this
release changes.
