v1.1.80

✨ Release Highlights

Netcatty v1.1.80 makes the AI composer stay responsive while you type, finishes the keyword-highlight flicker work, and hardens SFTP replace / reconnect plus a few terminal transfer and settings gaps.

🤖 AI composer stays responsive

• Expanding the chat panel and typing the first characters no longer hitch: Streamdown / Shiki wait until the composer is idle, history stays plaintext until the renderer is warm, and the composer stays mounted on hidden retained panels (#2993, #2997).
• The textarea is uncontrolled — per-keystroke draft flushes and ChatInput chrome re-renders are gone. Send still reads the live box, then clears immediately so the last prompt does not linger (#2995, #2996).
• Before an agent injects a command into an interactive PTY, unfinished prompt-line input is discarded so the wrapper is not concatenated onto what you already typed (#2982 / #2962).
• Windows OpenSSH AI exec detects PowerShell / cmd instead of falling through to a bash wrapper (#2960).

🔦 Keyword highlight and search

• Existing highlighted rows are no longer repainted on ordinary Enter / output; quiet catch-up recolors offscreen first and refreshes the viewport once (#2951, #2994).
• Esc / close / clear no longer leaves yellow search cells behind, including WebGL atlas stains and decorations that revived after reset (#2986, #2981 / #2980).

📂 SFTP replace and reconnect

• Conflict Replace keeps the remote file so mode bits (e.g. +x) survive upload; a missing destination is treated as no-conflict instead of a hard lstat error (#2955, #2991).
• The SFTP side panel rebinds after SSH Start-over reconnect instead of holding a stale browse channel (#2958).

⌨️ Terminal, transfers, and connect UX

• Large ZMODEM rz uploads wait for a real transport drain, so Windows SSH no longer drops the session after a flood (#2968).
• Alternate-screen Shift+Enter sends Kitty CSI-u so Codex sees a real shift-enter; sudo autofill stays off on Shift+Enter broadcast targets (#2975).
• Connecting progress only moves forward — the bar no longer rewinds when hop / phase / TCP-dial state changes (#2989).
• Mounted-disk capacity scales into T / P units (136.37G/6.93T instead of 118736.4G) (#2949).

🗂️ Vault, settings, and system

• Scripts can target dynamic groups by path — hosts added later match automatically (#2897).
• Settings → System → Session Restore can open a local terminal on launch when nothing is restored (#2965).
• Closing auto-sync is no longer undone by a later version save rewriting stale autoSync: true (#2978 / #2976).
• System overview shows cumulative interface RX / TX traffic alongside live rates (#2953).

✨ Smaller polish

• macOS 16×16 / 32×32 icons lose the bright one-pixel frame (#2957).
• Settings system footer hints have room under cards (#2990).
