Release Circle v0.1.2 · dobrinov/circle

Updates install on macOS only if they're signed by Circle's developer and
notarized; the updater no longer bypasses Gatekeeper. Downloads are HTTPS
only, and a downloaded update is rechecked before it installs.
Agents can only open and drive web pages (not local files or Circle's own
pages), can never reach fap-mode tabs, and can't use browser-wide CDP
commands. Turning agent control off disconnects them, and each time it's
turned on there's a new token.
Circle's own views can't be navigated to a website (e.g. by dropping a
link on the sidebar), and its pages run only their own scripts.
Cookies on macOS are encrypted with Circle's own keychain key instead of
the one all Chromium-based apps share. You'll be signed out of websites
once after updating.
Files that run when opened (.app, .pkg, .command, .exe, scripts…)
are saved only after you confirm them, pages can't flood Downloads, and
pop-ups need a click.
Fap mode: tabs opened from it stay in it, what you allowed outside it
doesn't apply inside, nothing from it reaches bug reports or history, and
windows it opens are hidden from screen capture too.
javascript: addresses are searched for instead of run, and the search
engine must be an http(s) address.
Bug reports go to GitHub through the clipboard, not the address bar.
Tighter macOS entitlements, matching Chrome's.

What's new: after an update, Circle shows the release notes of the new
version once (and again from Help › What's New in Circle).
Recordings can show the pointer, clicks and the keys you press (passwords
as dots), switchable per recording and in Settings › Recording.
While the sidebar is hidden, recording controls float over the page instead
of opening the sidebar. They never appear in the recording.
Docked developer tools have buttons to switch between the right and the
bottom and to close them, and resize from anywhere along the gap next to
the page.

A new app icon: a ring flowing from blue to teal to green, matching
the other products on dobrinov.github.io.
New spaces start in the logo's blue (then teal and green).
