v2.1.8 — Studio Notification Dispatcher & Multi-Event Notification Center

What's Changed in v2.1.8

🔔 Studio Notification Dispatcher & Multi-Event Notification Center

• Universal Notification Dispatcher: Decoupled dispatchNotification event bus using CustomEvent('studio:notification') and unique crypto.randomUUID() identifiers.
• Audio Feedback Integration: Built-in Web Audio API micro-interaction chimes via soundEngine.ts (playSuccessSound / playErrorSound) for satisfying auditory cues.
• Interactive Notification Center: 4 filter tabs (All, Unread, Processes & Tests, System & License), relative time indicators (Just now, 5s ago, 2m ago, 1h ago), individual notification dismissal (X), and inline 1-click action buttons (Restart Now, Open Settings, Open License, View Tools).
• Multi-Event Studio Wiring:
  • License Management: Real-time notifications on Pro activation, failure, and key revocation/deactivation.
  • Auto-Updater: Notifies when an update is available or downloaded and ready to install with 1-click restart.
  • Autonomous Tools: Emits notifications on Automated Test Suite completion (test counts & duration), Concurrency Benchmark finish (RPS throughput & latency), and AI Agent Simulation runs (message count & tool calls).
  • Server Lifecycle: Connection success with tool/resource/prompt counts, disconnect, auto-reconnect watchdog, and Cursor/Claude config imports.
  • Settings & Vault: Confirmation on API key vault and engine timeout save.
• State Persistence: Capped 100-item notification array persisted in localStorage (mcp_studio_notifications_v1).

🔑 API Key Vault Real-Time Synchronization & Simulator Auto-Fill (from v2.1.7)

• Key Harmonization: Aligned SETTINGS_KEY across SettingsModal.tsx, AiSimulator.tsx, and OnboardingModal.tsx.
• Real-Time Cross-Component Sync: Immediate mcp:settings-updated and storage event broadcast on settings save so the AI Simulator instantly picks up saved keys without requiring page refreshes or tab switching.
• Simulator Visual Feedback: Added an emerald ✓ Vault Active badge and auto-fill status in the Simulator sidebar with a 1-click [Vault] navigation link.
• Preference Persistence: Persisted selected LLM provider and model across application restarts.
