v1.1.76

✨ Release Highlights

Netcatty v1.1.76 is a transfer- and ops-heavy release: SFTP bulk paths are fail-closed and concurrent end-to-end, the System panel gains GPU/NPU monitoring, vault credentials stop poisoning local/cloud state after decrypt failures, and terminal workspaces pick up disconnect/reconnect plus better long-session AI navigation.

🚀 SFTP throughput and reliability

• Bulk downloads no longer fall back to a slow serial stream path; concurrent pipelined transfers stay on the fast path (including sudo fan-out on a shared channel).
• Parallel directory discovery, folder pre-scan, and skip-unchanged make large folder uploads/downloads start sooner and transfer less redundant data.
• Folder drops update the scan UI immediately and avoid an expensive full-tree pre-scan before progress appears.
• Append-only / growing-file downloads, cancelable OPEN gates, write OPEN serialization, and safer conflict/resume handling harden real-world transfer edge cases.

🖥️ System panel: GPU / NPU

• The System side panel now shows GPU and NPU utilization so you can watch accelerator load alongside CPU, memory, and disk while connected.

🔐 Credentials safety

• If vault decryption fails, Netcatty no longer re-encrypts and overwrites good ciphertext—protecting both local storage and cloud sync from poison writes.

⌨️ Terminal sessions and workspaces

• Workspace split status bars gain disconnect / reconnect controls for the focused pane.
• Hibernate wake keeps the newest scrollback; host info bar shows the server name; clipboard image paste (remote, opt-in) and better mouse/keyboard passthrough for Kitty and mouse-tracking apps.
• Split-workspace tabs prefer a stable host name; session tabs and the quick switcher can open Edit Host.

🔌 Plugins, AI, and settings

• Plugin sync providers with encrypted sidecar sync; schema upgrades backfill bindings without wiping secrets/backups.
• Long AI chats get an in-chat jump list; Grok Build lands as a managed agent (ACP / streaming); Catty gains context controls and a clearer compact flow.
• OpenCode turns no longer die solely because a terminal tool failed; one-click clear-all for session logs.

🪟 Platform polish

• Windows: frameless window rounded corners and tray transparency restored; broken arm64 installers no longer ship from x64 CI; Explorer “Open in Netcatty” menu install/toggle is more robust.
• macOS: Local Network TCC / first-hop handling hardened for LAN SSH.

✨ Smaller polish

• SFTP CJK IME-safe filter input, external-edit temps surviving tab switches, snippets bulk delete, split terminal side panels, AI composer resize, sync theme rehydrate / groupConfig guards, and assorted SSH bastion rate-limit and automation reconnect fixes.
