🤖 AI Gets Superpowers

This release focuses on making the AI smarter and giving it control over the entire application through plugins.

🔌 AI Plugin Integration

• Command Execution: The AI can now execute any registered plugin command (e.g., "Start a timer", "Toggle focus mode").
• Dynamic Command Discovery: AI automatically knows about all available commands from enabled plugins.
• Natural Confirmations: Improved response quality after executing commands - no more awkward echoing.

🧠 Smarter Context

• Always-On Active Note: The currently open note is now always injected into AI context, regardless of query wording.
• Better Search Navigation: Asking the AI to "find" or "open" a note now properly opens it in the editor (not just displaying content in chat).

🎨 Custom Modal System

• Beautiful Prompts: Replaced browser's ugly default prompt() dialogs with custom styled modals.
• Themed Design: Modals match Synaptic's dark aesthetic with solid backgrounds (no transparency issues).
• Keyboard Support: Enter to confirm, Escape to cancel, click outside to dismiss.
• Promise-based API: New useModalStore with prompt(), confirm(), and alert() methods for easy use throughout the app.

📜 License Update

• AGPL-3.0: Relicensed from MIT to AGPL-3.0 for stronger open-source protection.
• Updated LICENSE file, README, package.json, and website footer.

🎙️ Personalized AI Onboarding

• Name Input: First step now asks "What should I call you?" to personalize the experience.
• AI Voice Greeting: "Hello [Name]! I'm Synaptic..." - the first voice greeting creates an emotional connection.
• Narrated Walkthrough: Every step is read aloud by the AI with Kokoro TTS.
• Smart Auto-Advance: Informational steps (Notes, Plugins) auto-advance after narration; interactive steps (Vault, AI) wait for user action.
• Skip Greeting on Back: Navigation properly skips the one-time greeting step when going backwards.
• Auto-Refresh on Reset: Clicking "Reset Onboarding" in Settings immediately refreshes to start the flow.

✨ Onboarding Polish

• 🔊 Sound Effects: Subtle chime on step transitions
• ⌨️ Keyboard Shortcuts: Enter = Next, Escape = Skip
• 💾 Progress Persistence: Resume onboarding if closed mid-flow
