Reado v1.11.0

Added

• The agent tells Reado when it's done, instead of Reado guessing. A new
  session_done MCP tool: the agent calls it as the last thing in a turn —
  finished, blocked or failed — and Reado raises the notification and the
  completion chime then. Agents launched from Reado are told to do this in
  their system prompt (where the CLI has a flag for it; Claude Code today), and
  every MCP client also gets the rule through the server's own instructions.

Fixed

• The window no longer grinds to a halt while an agent works. Two causes, both
  measured on a live session: the terminal repainted a decoration (and a marker)
  for every clickable path:line in the viewport on every xterm render — 210 of
  them for 20 streamed lines — which retained about 7KB of web-process memory per
  line of agent output; it now paints once the output settles. And re-indexing one
  changed file for semantic search ran on the UI thread with an fsync per indexed
  line, plus a symbol walk of the whole project per file, so every file the agent
  wrote froze the window for a second or more; it is now one transaction, this
  file's symbols only, and off the main thread.
• A dev server in the project no longer locks the window up. The watcher read
  the root .gitignore only, while the file tree walks with the ignore crate
  and honours one at any depth — so in a monorepo that keeps its rules in
  app/.gitignore, Vite rewriting app/node_modules/.vite/deps reached the UI as
  a thousand file-changed events (95% of every event in a two-hour session),
  each one a re-anchor, a re-index and a git status on the main thread. Nested
  ignore files are now honoured, node_modules is ignored outright, and
  collecting the ignore rules moved off the UI thread with the rest of the watcher
  setup.
• git status and the repo info no longer run on the UI thread, where they
  were 40 of the 130 seconds a locked-up session spent inside blocking commands —
  the Source Control panel polls both every 4 seconds. Reado's git reads also pass
  --no-optional-locks now, so a background poll can't take index.lock out from
  under the git you are running in the terminal.
• Language servers now start in a project whose path contains a dot. The
  connection id doubles as a Tauri event name, which accepts only
  [A-Za-z0-9-/:_]: under a path like ~/code/pi.frontend-app the subscription
  threw after the server had spawned, so every language server was started,
  never listened to, and respawned every few seconds — no diagnostics, no hovers,
  and an unhandled rejection each round.
• Reado no longer edits .mcp.json every time you open the project. Wiring
  the MCP server in is meant to be idempotent, but the "already correct" check
  compared the file's text against a fresh re-serialisation: a config a
  formatter had written as "args": ["mcp"] never matched, so every open
  rewrote it — a modified file in git status and a failing format check.
  It now compares the parsed config and hands an unchanged file back untouched.
• A missing file no longer shows up in the log as an error. Half the app
  probes for optional .reado/* sidecars a project may not have, and each probe
  was traced at error naming no file (the IPC trace logs argument keys, never
  values) — pages of alarms nobody could act on, hiding the real ones. Those
  traces moved to debug, and read_file now records which path was missing.
• "Play a sound when the agent finishes" now does that. It was wired to the
  open-task count dropping, so running the agent in the terminal — the ordinary
  case — never made a sound. It now fires on the agent's own end-of-turn
  handoff. The chime also resumes its audio context, which a browser starts
  suspended when no user gesture preceded it.
