v1.1.75

✨ Release Highlights

Netcatty v1.1.75 focuses on making the desktop shell feel faster under multi-tab workloads, hardening SFTP transfer lifecycle, and expanding agent/plugin integration. Cursor-line highlighting, workspace clone/split with cwd inheritance, and several host-management UX improvements land alongside a large reliability pass.

⚡ Faster multi-tab shell

• TerminalLayer, top-tab switching, App shell domains, and AI side-panel UI are isolated so history, CWD, title, and theme churn no longer force full-pane re-renders.
• Hidden AI panels defer heavy UI while streaming, keeping the active terminal responsive.
• Host pickers and large vault lists are virtualized for big inventories.

🛡️ SFTP transfer reliability

• Pause, resume, and hard reconnect reuse the same transfer runtime with safer progress epochs and sparse-settle budgets.
• Upload content digests ignore ctime-only drift that previously false-flagged identical files.
• Large folder uploads, maximized editor save after reconnect, and POSIX double-slash paths are more predictable.

🖥️ Terminal session UX

• Optional cursor-line highlight keeps the active row readable without wiping keyword colors or selection (opt-in).
• Clone or split tabs inherit the current working directory; multi-pane workspaces can be copied with per-pane CWD.
• Host-tree toolbar is customizable; local-terminal and quick-connect icons are cleaner; Network Device Mode gets a session-header tip.
• Mosh/ET now enforce vault host-key verification; xterm WebGL atlas fixes come from upstream with a lower default scrollback.

🤖 Agents, plugins, and automation

• CodeBuddy integrates the full Tencent AI agent SDK surface (permissions, hooks, MCP, settings).
• Plugin connection, authentication, and importer providers land for host-owned auth challenges and safe vault imports.
• Terminal scripts side-panel UX is refined; Windows gains Explorer “Open in Terminal”.

✨ Smaller polish

• Searchable font pickers, Windows portaled UI font inheritance, CJK label line-height fixes, snippets as centered modals, large vault import/group management, Gist large-vault raw download proxy, system theme in quick controls, and assorted editor/AI/CI fixes.
