OpenMausBot 0.1.98

Fixes you may have hit

• Threads follow their bot's model. Changing a bot's model now moves all its threads with it, instead of leaving old threads on the model they were created with. A thread keeps its own model only if you picked one there. If a thread's model can't run (engine removed, turned off or signed out), the turn uses the bot's model instead of failing, and the thread says so in one line. The bot's model settings also offer Switch them too for threads on a model of their own. (#2401)
• Grok signs in on My Cloud and servers. Sign in with a link and a code from any device: no terminal needed. My Cloud's sign-in screen offers Grok next to Claude and ChatGPT. Where Grok isn't installed, you're pointed to an xAI API key instead of a dead end. (#2391)
• Every routine result lands in the bot's main thread. (#2404)
• Automatic continuation is safer. A provider's rate limit no longer starts a "Continue:" thread, and a continuation never takes over the thread you're in. (#2429)
• Settings no longer crashes when a server sends no MCP timeout. (#2418)
• A key the provider rejects stops showing Ready, and a saved API key can be changed from Model providers. (#2400, #2395)
• Webhooks: a flood of wrong secrets no longer rewrites the file or pushes out real deliveries. (#2394)
• Copying is reliable on your computer and on trusted remote desktops. (#2405)
• A file link outside the workspace offers Show in folder. (#2399)
• Searching the sidebar no longer leaves every bot's thread list open. (#2295)
• Multi-byte characters stay whole across read boundaries. (#2387)
• Simple mode hides Routines, Triggers and threads as intended; scrollbars and the header pill are fixed. (#2384)

New

• Remember the last run: a routine switch that starts each run with the previous run's report, so a QA or monitoring routine knows what it found last time. (#2386)
• Rich chat tables and fast CSV previews. (#2396, #2410)
• Connect Whop alongside your other apps. (#2411)
• A group conversation can choose a longer turn limit. (#2381)
• MCP call timeout is a setting instead of a fixed 10 minutes. (#2406)
• Connection cards show a plain line where they can't be drawn, and the sidebar previews the app and its state. (#2385)
• Chief-only tools show only to a Chief of Staff. (#2393)

Faster

• The app opens faster: the first screen no longer waits on Settings, Routines and other screens you haven't opened, analytics load only when they start, and browsers keep the app's files instead of downloading them on every load. (#2403, #2392, #2389)
• The desktop app starts faster: the bot server stops recompiling on every launch, is noticed as soon as it listens, and a later start answers without waiting for every engine. (#2402, #2390, #2376)
• Chat turns stop writing files that did not change. (#2397)
• Updates download less: a code-only update re-pulls only the app's own layers. (#2407)
