Margin 0.4.1
Margin 0.4.1 — quicker navigation and a better welcome back
Margin 0.4.1 makes everyday file work feel native and gives both humans and agents a clearer path for improving the tool.
Highlights
- Right-click files and folders in the navigator for Open, Rename…, Copy Path, Copy Full Path, and Reveal/Open in Finder.
- New windows show recently opened directories, sorted by recency, with full paths, copy controls, and “Last opened” dates.

- Recent-folder loading stays off the first-paint path, preserving Margin’s fast launch behavior.

Important macOS signing note
The app and executable are ad-hoc signed, the installer is unsigned, and this release is not notarized. macOS will require explicit per-app approval in System Settings. You do not need to disable Gatekeeper globally. Developer ID signing and notarization are planned.
See the repository README and Docs/INSTALLATION.md for complete installation and first-open instructions.
Verification
- All 208 native Swift tests pass, including the new recent-folder, context-menu, hotkey, rename-safety, and agent-feedback contracts.
- MarginBench passes all 249 package tests and all nine portable-binary reference episodes on both Linux architectures.
- Startup regression gates pass for small, medium, and large files and for 100-entry and 10,000-entry directories.
- Every release artifact was checksum-verified, archive-tested, and independently matched to its GitHub build-provenance attestation.
