Changes

• Kept brings bookmarks, reading, saved copies, keywords, pinned pages and collections into one record. Kept items lead address and palette results; said:<word> searches saved copies.
• Tab rows show where each tab is and whether it is running, listening, waiting, finished, playing or edited. Orrery and tab dragging make the workspace easier to arrange.
• Find works across pages, shells and editors, with whole words, patterns and a wider search when the current pane has no answer.
• nus version, update, doctor, uninstall, channel, logs and the sync commands expose installation and encrypted-profile management from the shell.
• Linux and Windows close and quit correctly without stray console windows. Linux's dock and tray use the launch animation; animation frames follow the display's pace.
• Invalid keyword input keeps the previous keyword and leaves the editor open for correction. Unicode keywords obey the same size limit as stored records; clearing the field still removes a keyword deliberately.
• A local “Here” profile continues across updates, reinstalls and moved copies without sync. Legacy-profile migration stops if the profile is busy or cannot be moved, preserving it instead of creating a duplicate.
• nus uninstall --everything removes the channel's profiles, recovery copies, vault keys and logs. Windows' Remove them too option does the same; normal uninstall keeps the profile for reinstall. Other channels, projects and remote sync folders are preserved.
• Completed updates remove their temporary download and staging folders. Complete uninstall also removes retained app packages owned by that installation, while preserving unrelated neighboring folders.
• Linux complete uninstall purges apt configuration and removes an account installation's owned sandbox rule. The shared GNOME dock extension and marker are removed once no other installed channel needs them.
• Windows legacy-profile migration keeps the open lock file in place, moves the live profile last, and rolls back earlier moves if migration fails.
• Windows CLI installation detection compares canonical paths on both sides, restoring correct update and uninstall behavior. A staged Windows diagnostic verified the fix against a native-created profile and OS vault credentials.
• Package instructions point to the shared channel profile. A rejected download-site dispatch now fails visibly in Actions.

Windows: download the -setup.exe installer and run it; the .zip beside it is the package in-app updates use, so most people never need it. macOS: unzip the complete package and move nus.app to Applications. Linux: run curl -fsSL https://cbassuarez.com/nus.dev/install.sh | NUS_CHANNEL=preview sh (the .deb with apt on Debian and Ubuntu, otherwise the archive for your account), or download the .deb or archive below. See README.txt in the archive for runtime dependencies.

Preview builds are for early testing. Unsigned Windows previews can show a SmartScreen warning; ad-hoc Mac previews are not notarized. Use the signing column above for this release’s exact status.

Verify the archive against SHA256SUMS.txt. Release metadata and hashes are also in release.json.
