New Features

Plugin Marketplace

• Redesigned In-App Store: Browse, install, and manage extensions from a dedicated store view in Settings, featuring instant search, status filters (Installed, Available, Dev), and Grid vs. List views.
• Capability Filtering: Easily filter plugins by what they add to your project: Skills, Specialist Subagents, Slash Commands, Coding Rules, or Event Hooks.
• Plugin Inspector: Preview extension details, authors, descriptions, and file contents before installing.
• Pre-Packaged Suites:
  • Engineering Suite: Best practices, coding rules, and workflows for TypeScript, Python, React, Rust, Go, Vue, and Docker.
  • Research Studio: Deep research tools, document evaluation agents, and office document generators.
• Custom Feeds and Developer Tools: Connect private team registries or link local development folders to test custom plugins instantly.

Interactive Charts in Home Mode

• Inline Data Visualizations: Ask the assistant to generate visual insights and receive interactive charts rendered directly in chat, including bar charts, line graphs, pie charts, scatter plots, radar charts, and diagrams.
• Theme-Aware Colors: Charts automatically adapt their palette and contrast to match your active theme.
• Automatic Chart Display: If the agent creates charts or plot images during an analysis, they are automatically placed directly in your chat response so you can review the results immediately.
• Verified Document Exports: Enhanced verification ensures Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and PDF files are generated cleanly without file corruption.

Grounded Research Notebook

• Verified Source Citations: Clickable citation badges open the source document and highlight the exact evidence passage in the side panel.
• Hallucination Prevention: If your uploaded documents do not contain enough evidence to answer a question, the model refuses to guess.
• Interactive Study Tools: Generate interactive flashcard decks, multiple-choice quizzes, mind maps with zoom and pan, and executive summaries directly from your source files.
• Network Security Guard: Added security boundaries to prevent unauthorized network requests and private IP access during web ingestion.

Improvements and Fixes

Agent Reliability and Loop Prevention

• Smart Web Loop Prevention: If a search query or webpage returns unhelpful results, the agent now automatically redirects itself to alternative sources instead of getting stuck in a loop or stopping the task.
• Balanced Research Budgets: Dynamic lookup limits keep the assistant focused on delivering answers rather than over-browsing the web.
• Accurate Token Tracking: Token counts and cost metrics are now accurately recorded even if a run is cancelled or interrupted.
• Cross-Platform Path Handling: Resolved Windows path formatting issues to ensure consistent performance across operating systems.

Chat Interface

• Connected Stepper Feed: A cleaner step-by-step progress timeline showing what the agent is currently reading, running, or editing in real time.
• Expandable Output Cards: Terminal logs and file previews can now be expanded or copied to your clipboard with a single click.
• Theme Polish: Refined colors, typography, and contrast across all 10 application themes.
