v0.7.0

Highlights

• Loom now talks to Anthropic-compatible gateways -- an institutional proxy, LiteLLM in anthropic mode -- by picking an API shape next to the base URL, and a custom endpoint's model can be typed rather than only chosen from what it advertises, so a gateway that serves no model list is still usable. Custom endpoints also re-fetch their model list from the stored key, and a connection failure says what actually went wrong instead of "fetch failed"
• A finished Galaxy run can wake the agent and carry on by itself (opt-in), and job tracking got harder to fool: the poller reads the invocation's own state, refuses to be silenced, and leaves an audit row behind -- and a failed invocation points the agent at vendored Galaxy reference material instead of leaving it to guess
• The agent can no longer quietly mark a plan step done while Galaxy still says the run is in flight: a new evidence gate watches for that contradiction and records it, and the override is yours to give with a reason rather than something the model can grant itself
• Standing instructions in a LOOM.md file load into every conversation, so preferences you'd otherwise repeat every session stay put
• Provider setup stops losing things: the first-run screen keeps each provider's key with that provider instead of the one you last looked at, sign-in-capable providers are no longer treated as key-less, models too small to run Loom stay out of the picker, and a startup failure the brain already diagnosed is shown rather than retried into a generic crash box
• Orbit and safety polish: the classic Galaxy mark in the title bar, the chat pane takes its full width back when the artifact pane is hidden, the exec-guard approval prompt shows the whole command instead of its first 200 characters, two exec-guard gaps close (an alternate file-path spelling, and writes into Orbit's own analyses directory being denied outright), and WSL shows up as WSL in feedback reports
• pi moves to 0.85.1 and pi-mcp-adapter to 2.34.0, which lines up what a fresh install resolves with what we actually test -- a new install used to end up running two different versions of pi-ai side by side

Downloads

macOS ships signed and notarized .dmg builds for both Apple Silicon (arm64) and Intel (x64). Linux ships .deb, .rpm and portable .zip for x64 and arm64. Windows ships a portable Orbit-win32-x64-0.7.0.zip -- unzip and run orbit.exe; there is no Setup.exe in this release, so ignore the installer instructions still in INSTALL.md.
