Orbit v1.4.1

Orbit v1.4.1 — Release Notes

A proper-IDE design pass. Orbit's chrome moves closer to VS Code / IntelliJ,
the installers finally carry the right logo, and the release pipeline is ready to
ship warning-free, signed builds.

Highlights

🎛 A slim, icon-only activity bar

The left navigation is now a VS Code-style activity bar — icons only, a
fraction of its old width, with tooltips and an accent rail on the active item.
More room for your code, less chrome.

🧭 Context in the title bar, not branding

The title bar drops the marketing banner and shows what you're looking at —
the current project or view — the way a real IDE does. The old "Command Center"
header and spinning logo are gone; you know what app you're in.

🧩 Plugins

A new Plugins destination presents Orbit's built-in capabilities as
extensions and previews the community marketplace that's on the roadmap (marked
honestly as coming, not pretend-installed).

🎨 The right icon

The installers and the app now carry the current red Orbit logo — CI
regenerates the full icon set (.ico / .icns / PNGs) from the brand SVG at
build time, so no more stale purple raster.

🔏 Signed, warning-free installs (when certs are provided)

The release workflow now signs and notarizes macOS and signs Windows
automatically — which removes the "unidentified developer" / SmartScreen prompts
— as soon as signing certificates are added as repository secrets. See
docs/SIGNING.md
for exactly what to add.

Note: OS-level code signing requires paid certificates that only the
project owner can obtain (an Apple Developer ID for macOS; an OV/EV
code-signing certificate for Windows). Until those are added, these builds ship
unsigned and your OS will still warn on first launch — that's a property of
any unsigned binary, not of Orbit. The pipeline is wired to sign automatically
the moment the certificates exist.

Everything from v1.4.0, still here

The local-first AI assistant, the commit graph, Terminal 3.0 (search / splits /
profiles), split editors, and the full IDE beneath them.

Still to come

Cross-restart terminal sessions, the LSP go-to-definition/hover gestures, a
debugger, and a real plugin SDK — tracked in the
roadmap.
