v0.9.8

Added

• 🏠 Choose how .cptr is handled in projects. Admins can now turn the automatic .gitignore entry on or off, so local chats, memory, caches, audio samples, and generated files stay private by default unless you choose otherwise.
• 🤖 A llama.cpp connection mode. OpenAI-compatible connections can now be marked as llama.cpp, so Qwen and other local reasoning models can receive prior thinking in the format llama.cpp expects.
• 🧩 Skills can open their own companion files. view_skill can now load files such as references/guide.md from the selected skill folder, without opening broader home-directory access.
• 🌐 Sized browser screenshots. Browser tasks can request a screenshot at a specific size and Computer will restore the normal page view afterward.

Changed

• ⚙️ Admin switches behave like switches. In Models, Agents, Connections, Messaging, and Tool Servers, click the row text to edit and click the switch only to turn something on or off.
• 🔎 Workspace search respects .gitignore. File search and content search now skip ignored folders and files, keeping generated output, caches, and local Computer data out of normal results.
• 🧠 Reasoning replay is stricter by default. Computer now keeps strict OpenAI-compatible connections clean, and only sends llama.cpp-style reasoning_content when the connection is set to llama.cpp.

Fixed

• 🧠 The chat size meter no longer freezes behind llama.cpp. Computer now normalizes token usage from OpenAI-compatible streams and sends live context updates to the chat while a response is still running.
• 💬 Compacted chats survive regenerated answers better. Summaries are saved on a stable kept user message when possible, so regenerating an assistant answer is less likely to lose the compacted history.
• ✂️ Manual compact keeps the latest turn available. Compacting a chat now summarizes the older branch and leaves the newest message ready for the next response.
• 🧠 Prior reasoning is preserved more reliably. Reasoning from ordinary replies, tool-call turns, Chat Completions streams, and Responses streams is less likely to be dropped before the next model request.
• 🎨 Token usage details match the chosen theme. The usage popover now uses Computer's app surface colors instead of the wrong gray background.
• ✨ Messages render more faithfully. Your own messages can show Markdown, and raw markup appears as text instead of disappearing.
• 🗂️ Commit suggestions are less brittle. If the model returns a plain commit message instead of perfect structured output, Computer can still use the useful parts.
• 📝 File edits keep text encoding consistent. Created and edited files are written as UTF-8, which avoids surprises with non-ASCII project files.
