Whisper Studio 2.4.0

A release built around documents: the assistant now shapes Word, Excel and PowerPoint files the way you describe them, and can change the ones you already have.

• Ask for the formatting you actually want. Cell shading, merged cells, borders, column widths, shapes, images, charts and number formats are all reachable now. Describe what you want in the file and the assistant builds it.
• Edit documents you already have. Point at a .docx, .xlsx or .pptx and ask for a change. The assistant reads the file's structure first so it changes the right cells, works on a copy so your original is untouched, and shows you the code on the approval card before anything runs. These scripts get a permission category of their own, apart from file writes and shell commands.
• Word documents come out richer. Table cells carry color, and headings, nested lists, header cells, quotes, inline code and captions all come through from a plain description. Word files now build entirely in Python, so they no longer depend on anything macOS-specific.
• Diffs open instantly, with a 5000-line file going from 208ms to 0.2ms, and show a clear message and a working Retry if a request ever does fail.
• Requests hold their connection reliably, clearing the intermittent "Load failed" that could reach any part of the app.
• Approval cards appear right below the discussion that produced them, so the Approve button is on screen the moment it arrives.
• Thinking summaries are back on the current Claude models, and the workspace card now names the tool, your connected folder and the path it could not use, with an option to stay put and retry.
