v1.2.0

Features & Improvements

• Custom Action Groups & Sub-Action Bar: Group multiple actions and extensions together into unified action items. Hovering reveals a floating horizontal sub-bar for instant sub-action selection, and clicking opens a scoped search palette.
• Simplified Chinese Localization: Full UI localization in Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans), adapting automatically to macOS system language preferences.
• Search Engine Presets: Added one-click engine presets (Google, DuckDuckGo, Kagi, Brave Search, Bing, Ecosia, and Custom) to the built-in Search action settings.
• In-App Software Updates: Integrated Sparkle 2 updater with automatic background update checks, status bar notifications, and release note presentation.
• AI Loading Toast Lifecycle: AI preset execution displays a non-blocking floating loading toast, smoothly transitioning to streaming result cards upon receipt.
• Toast UI Scaling: Result toasts and copy notifications scale dynamically with user-selected popupScale preferences.
• Menu Bar Icon Visibility Toggle: Added an option in General Preferences to hide the menu bar icon while keeping hotkey and selection triggers active.

Fixes & Stability

• Cursor Stickiness: Resolved cursor stickiness across popup panel edges by installing AppKit tracking areas and asserting arrow cursors on interactive views.
• Sub-Bar Coordinate Hit-Testing: Fixed sub-bar hover state tracking using window coordinate conversions and dynamic click-through ignore handling.
• AI Session State: Preserved AI streaming session identifiers and active tasks across loading toast state transitions.
• Empty Action Group Support: Allowed creating and configuring empty action groups from Preferences without auto-disbandment.
