Plonk 0.2.4

The command palette got a key of its own, an agent can photograph a window it
names without disturbing it, and Claude Code installs the whole toolset in two
commands.

Added

⌃⌥A opens the command palette over whatever is in front of you. The
palette already existed and could only be opened from inside Plonk's own window
— the one place you are not standing when you want to move a window. Pressing
the key again closes it.

Type a sentence into it and it goes to your agent. Anything that is not a
command — "put the browser left and the terminal top right", "save this as a
workspace called review" — can be sent as it is, with ⌘return or by picking
the last row. It takes the same road a spoken command takes, so it can reach
nothing a key could not.

An agent can screenshot a window it names, even a covered one.
take_screenshot grew a mode: "app", taking app and title_contains: "what
is playing in Spotify" now works with Spotify hidden behind the editor. macOS
keeps every window's image apart from every other's, which is what makes a
buried one photograph cleanly — nothing is raised and no focus is taken.

Claude Code installs the tools in two commands.

/plugin marketplace add ostapondo/plonk
/plugin install plonk@plonk

The repository is its own marketplace, so there is no config file to find. It
needs the app installed — the server is a bridge to a loopback API and does
nothing on its own.

Fixed

⌘C, ⌘V, ⌘X and ⌘A work in Plonk's text fields. They never had, anywhere in
the app: AppKit delivers those through the main menu's key equivalents, and
Plonk had no main menu at all, so a field would take a typed sentence but not a
pasted one.

A prompt sent to an agent shows what it is doing. A CLI adapter takes tens
of seconds and moves nothing until it has decided what to move, so the palette
closing was followed by silence — which looks exactly like nothing happening.
There is now a ticking count while it runs, and it ends on how it went. A
failure used to be an NSLog nobody reads.

The changelog has
the rest, including new animations in the README and the docs.
