v0.70.0

Added

• What's new speaks your language. The dialog that opens after an update
  shows the release notes, and their group names, in the interface language
  you picked, in both windows. A build whose notes have no translation yet
  shows them in English.
• Fork a session in the native window. Right-click a card and pick
  Fork › Here to carry its conversation on in a new card right under it, in
  the same checkout, or Fork › Worktree… to take it to a new worktree along
  with your uncommitted changes. The copy is named after the original
  ("auth-refactor 2") and wears a fork mark. Claude Code, Codex and opencode
  only: the other providers only resume.
• The native window warns when two cards run one conversation. Resuming,
  from inside an agent's own TUI, a conversation another card already has
  open raises a warning in the bottom-right corner; Switch closes the card
  that resumed and brings up the one that had it.
• The native window shows images. A PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP or BMP opens in
  the Files tab's preview over a checkerboard, with its size and dimensions,
  and a changed image in the Review shows before and after side by side. A
  PDF, or any other file with no preview, offers Open in default app and Show
  in folder instead of an error; in a pull request, a binary file links to
  itself on GitHub.
• The native window in your language. Every screen of the native window
  reads in Portuguese, Spanish and Chinese, and Settings › General has the
  interface language and the prompt language, as the web window has them
  under Appearance. Before you pick one, the interface follows your
  system's language. Choosing Chinese on a machine with no Chinese font
  offers to download Noto Sans SC (about 25 MB) into lich's own folder.
• Japanese. Both windows read in Japanese, and Japanese is a prompt
  language, so lich talks to your agents in it. The native window draws
  Japanese, Chinese and Korean each in its own region's font when one is
  installed (Noto Sans CJK, Yu Gothic, Hiragino, Malgun Gothic and the like),
  so kanji no longer take Chinese shapes, and offers to download Noto Sans JP
  or KR when none is, as it does Noto Sans SC for Chinese. The README is in
  Japanese too.
• Korean. Both windows read in Korean, picked in Settings › Appearance
  on the web and Settings › General in the native window, and Korean is a
  prompt language: briefings, relayed messages and notices reach your agents
  in Korean.
• lich speaks Russian. Pick Русский as the interface language, in the web
  window under Settings › Appearance or in the native window under
  Settings › General, and as the prompt language, so the briefing, relay
  notes and handoffs lich types into your agents read in Russian too. Counts
  follow Russian's one, few and many forms (1 файл, 2 файла, 5 файлов).
• opencode profiles on macOS and Windows, and Cursor CLI profiles on
  Windows. Settings › Providers in the native window lists them as it
  does on Linux. Cursor CLI on macOS and Kiro CLI on macOS and Windows still
  have none: there they keep the login in the Keychain or in a folder no
  setting can move, so every profile would share one account.

Changed

• Every update opens the native window. The first launch of each release
  switches lich to the native window, falling back to the web one where it
  cannot start; switch back in Settings and lich stays on the web window until
  the next release. The first time the native window opens, it says it is
  experimental and links to a bug report.

• A lighter status ring in the native window. The ring around a
  session card's icon is drawn thinner, to read at the weight the web
  window gives it.

• Roomier shortcut keys in the native window. The key caps in the
  command palette, the shortcuts overlay and Settings › Hotkeys have more
  room around their text, which sits centred.

• Settings in the native window opens on Global. The gear in the top
  bar always opens Settings on Global instead of the scope you last left it
  in; a project's tab still opens its own settings from Project settings….

• A calmer command palette in the native window. Each session, project
  and message takes one line, with its path after the name; a worktree's
  path shows its last three parts. Sessions waiting on you come first and
  say so, and the filter tabs lose their pills for an underline. A closed
  session in History shows its branch and age on the right, and a second
  line only when a search matched its conversation, with the words marked.

Fixed

• A restarted session no longer reads as busy forever. A session whose
  agent died mid-turn, or that was closed mid-turn, came back under the same
  card still listed as busy to other sessions: a task sent to it waited for a
  turn that would never end. It now starts with no state, like a new one.
• Codex, Cursor CLI, Antigravity and Crush stop asking where you already
  answered. A sandboxed session of any of them opens straight at its
  prompt. Cursor CLI and Antigravity no longer ask again in a worktree of a
  folder you trusted, nor Antigravity in its subfolders, and Crush no longer
  asks to initialize each new worktree. A sandboxed oh-my-pi session no
  longer opens on its setup wizard.
• Claude Code stops asking "trust this folder?" where you already
  answered. A folder you trusted in your main account is trusted in every
  other Claude Code profile from its next session there, and a sandboxed
  Claude Code session opens without the question at all. A session lich
  opened for you no longer sits on that screen, where Enter exits.
• A reopened native window knows where each session went. A session
  that had moved with cd, or into tmux or ssh, came back showing its
  checkout's path, branch and changes until its next cd; the window now
  reads where each one last was as it connects.
• The native window writes agent prompts in your prompt language. The
  pull request and issue handoffs and a batch of review comments were
  always typed in English.
• A theme change during a reconnect no longer crashes the native window.
  Switching the theme, or the system switching light and dark, while the
  window reattached to a restarted lich could paint terminals the reconnect
  had just freed and take the window down.
• Chinese, Japanese and Korean text no longer freezes the native window on
  Linux. A session, a Review or a pull request full of CJK text could hang
  the window for seconds, long enough for "not responding", and a zoom
  brought the freeze back.
• The native window holds less memory. Each session's terminal and the
  Review loaded its own copy of the fonts it falls back on, tens of megabytes
  apiece for a CJK or emoji font: six open sessions now take about half
  the memory they did. It also starts quicker on a machine with CJK fonts
  installed.
• Reopening a session whose conversation is already open focuses that
  card. A closed session from History, an undone close or an existing
  worktree could come back as a second card on a conversation another card
  was still running, and the two wrote into the same transcript. History
  lists such a conversation once, by its latest close, and Forget removes
  every copy of it.
