The old UI stays on 0.3.0.

First launch · 首次启动

• Setup now opens on a fresh Mac. Before, a Mac without Node.js couldn't start the built-in DeepSeek Harness, so the app went straight to an unconfigured chat. Setup now opens anyway, and its new Check your Mac step installs what is missing: Node.js 22.19+ (the official installer, checksum-verified, with a China mirror fallback) and Git (Apple's Command Line Tools). / 全新的 Mac 上会先进入设置：新增“检查这台 Mac”一步，可直接安装 Node.js（官方安装包，校验哈希，国内镜像兜底）和 Git，不再直接进入未配置的聊天。

New · 新功能

• Computer use: the agent works in the apps you allow, in the background without taking your keyboard, mouse or focus, or with full-screen control when you approve it. Teach mode walks you through an app step by step. / 电脑使用：在你允许的应用里后台操作，不抢键盘鼠标；需要时经你同意再全屏控制；教学模式可一步步带你操作。
• Claude in Chrome bridge: navigate, read pages, fill forms, click and run read-only scripts in your own Chrome, with a per-site approval. / Chrome 桥接：在你自己的 Chrome 里导航、读页面、填表、点击，按站点逐个授权。
