Highlights
This release sharpens team mode and assistants, and fixes Office preview on web-server deployments.
Team Mode
- Stop controls are now slot-scoped: pausing one teammate no longer cancels the whole team, and each pane's send box is gated independently.
- Team chats now prefer the assistant's identity (avatar/name) when one is set, and the team workspace display correctly prefers the persisted team workspace, falling back to the leader's only when empty.
Assistants
- Fixed assistant cron and Guid flows: cron tasks now show the right assistant avatar/name, selected skills are kept on Aionrs conversations, and assistant metadata is preserved through team creation.
- Removed leftover Star Office UI remnants from the assistant area.
Auto-Updates
- Stable auto-updates now read their metadata from the CDN instead of the GitHub API, for more reliable update checks and downloads, plus a desktop "report installation diagnostics" action next to "download latest" when an install looks broken.
Web-Server Deployment Fixes
- Office (PPT/Word/Excel/CSV) preview now works on Linux server deployments — the auto-installed officecli component requires libicu, which Debian-based images (including the runtime base) don't ship, so previews were broken until now.
- When officecli is missing or fails to install in web mode, AionUi now shows the exact server-side install command instead of pointing remote users at the wrong machine.
Voice Input
- Fixed a 2.1.18 regression where a custom OpenAI-compatible STT endpoint that can't stream returned "No speech detected" — recording now keeps going and falls back correctly when streaming fails to establish.
Other Improvements
- ACP runtime model, mode, and thought-level selectors now reflect the options the backend actually advertises, and remember your preference.
- Windows: local CLI agents launched from the desktop/start menu are now detected reliably (the GUI process PATH is hydrated from registry and shell profiles before startup).
- Disabled custom agents stay visible (greyed, with a working re-enable toggle) in Settings → Agents instead of disappearing entirely.
- The "AionUi" wordmark in the sidebar now acts as a back-to-chat / home control.
- The AI message copy row no longer flickers mid-stream — it appears once the reply finishes.
