Boxxy v0.0.35

Everything since v0.0.34

Characters & AI agents

Characters system 🎉 — Full character system with bundled personalities (Niko, Levi, Kuro). Characters drive agent prompts and hot-reload from their TOML files without a restart.
User profile with avatar upload — A "You" section at the top of the Characters page with an avatar (falls back to initials), display name field, and color picker, persisted in settings.json.
Character avatar in Claw overlay — The active character's avatar and name are now shown in the Claw overlay.
Drag-and-drop character reordering — Characters in preferences can now be reordered via drag and drop.
Dynamic sounds & rich notifications — Long-running tasks (7s+) trigger rich GTK notifications with the character's avatar and task summary. Distinct audio cues for reminders and tasks, toggleable from preferences.
Host-level agent daemon — Persistent agent daemon with memory consolidation, concurrency-safe model hot-swapping, and robust daemon handoffs.
User name injected into model — The user's display name is passed into model context so characters can address the user by name.

Bold, italic, and underline rendering — The terminal renderer now correctly handles styled text from escape sequences.
Modifier key support for arrow keys — Ctrl/Alt/Shift+Arrow now sends standard CSI sequences for word navigation. Pane focus keybindings moved to Ctrl+Alt+Arrow to avoid conflicts.
Custom shell command in preferences — Option to run a custom command instead of the default login shell.

Robust memory reinforcement — Extracted facts sit in quarantine as unverified candidates and are promoted only after 2+ observations at ≥0.8 confidence, preventing hallucinations from poisoning agent context. Includes a Dream Auditor for conflict resolution and an auditable DREAMS.md promotion log.
Background command execution — Agents can now launch GUI apps, dev servers, and background scripts without blocking the terminal. Processes are fully detached via setsid() with a 250ms early-crash detection window.
Remote pane focusing via D-Bus — External integrations (e.g. GNOME Shell extensions) can call request_focus_pane on the Agent D-Bus interface to raise the window and focus a specific pane.
Rotating usage tips in overlay — Tips rotate every 15 seconds via GtkRevealer crossfade while the agent is thinking.
Isolated overlay history & real-time tool indicator — The sidebar retains the full debug log; the overlay filters out noisy ToolResult and ProcessList blocks, showing them in ClawIndicator instead.
Reduced http_fetch context bloat — HTML is stripped from http_fetch responses (200KB raw → 50KB clean text).

Claude Opus 4.7 + extended thinking — rig-core upgraded to 0.36. Adds Claude Opus 4.7 to the model roster. Extended thinking (budget_tokens) wired for Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6. Opus 4.7 uses adaptive thinking only and is excluded from the thinking dropdown.
DeepSeek provider — DeepSeek is now available as an AI provider option.

Agents page renamed to Toolbox & Permissions
More conversational Claw chat layout — Bigger fonts, more padding, and character avatars on the left for a more readable conversation view.
Overlay history enabled by default — maintain_overlay_history is now on by default.
Character selection moved to bottom

disable-self-update cargo feature — Package maintainers can build without the internal updater: cargo build --release --features disable-self-update.
New boxxy-sys-utils crate — System utilities extracted into a standalone leaf crate, removing the rig-core / reqwest dependency from non-AI crates.
Minimum Rust version set to 1.95

Various fixes and improvements throughout.
