SmartHopper 2.0.0-dev.260802: AI-Powered Canvas Tools & Enhanced Security

AI-assisted Grasshopper workflows just got smarter with new canvas management tools, deeper provider controls, and critical security upgrades.

🛠️ New AI Tools for Rhino

• Generate and place Grasshopper definitions directly on canvas with gh_generate_and_place_on_canvas
• Get comprehensive canvas reports with gh_report, including AI-generated file summaries
• Smart wiring suggestions with gh_smart_connect based on your described purpose
• Clear canvas components while preserving protected elements with gh_clear

⚙️ Provider Enhancements

• Configure AI providers and models directly from components with set_ai_provider_and_model
• Check available providers and their configuration status with get_available_providers
• Browse live model lists with get_available_models (falling back to static lists when needed)
• DeepSeek users gain new ReasoningEffort and TopP controls

🔒 Security Upgrades

• macOS Keychain integration replaces file-based encryption
• Automatic Windows migration preserves existing API keys
• Fixed XSS vulnerabilities in WebView chat rendering
• Pinned vulnerable dependencies to patched versions

📄 Documentation & Specs

• Added GhJSON/GhPatch reference documentation via smarthopper_ghjson_reference
• New providers topic in smarthopper_readme explains default settings management

🎨 UI Improvements

• MCP lock support: visually lock components from updates with orange border and icon
• New Grasshopper components for reports (AIGhReportComponent) and smart connections (AIGhConnectComponent)

Technical Requirements

• Rhino 8.0 or above is required
• Windows 10/11 or macOS
• Valid API keys for MistralAI, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Anthropic, Gemini or OpenRouter

Important Notes

• This is an dev.260802 release with some features still unstable or subject to change
• API keys are required, and usage costs apply based on your provider
• Documentation is currently under development
• macOS users will need to re-enter API keys due to security improvements
