Agent Tarmac v0.4.1 — instant startup + launch animation
Startup went from a stall to a jet launch.
- Instant startup. Agent Tarmac no longer reads your transcripts synchronously at launch — it reads only each file's edges (never the multi-GB middle), caches by mtime/size, and scans in the background. On a real 27 GB / 325-session machine: cold-start metadata 243s → ~0.5s (6ms warm), and the window paints immediately regardless.
- Launch animation. A jet takes off and climbs out as the app opens; if a huge history is still loading, the sidebar shows the same jet still climbing.
- Token stats scale. Usage is streamed and incrementally cached (reads only newly-appended bytes on rescan), so the tokenmaxxing number stays honest without re-reading gigabytes.
