v1.4.0

Added

• A notification when a new version is out (#126). About twice a day,
  Gotcha checks GitHub for a newer release and, once per version, posts a
  notification. Tapping it opens Settings ▸ About, already checking, with the
  download ready. The check skips quiet hours and stays silent when offline.
  It can be turned off under Settings ▸ Notifications ▸ App updates, or muted
  through its own "App updates" channel in Android's settings.
• Your own MCP servers (#130). Connectors has a new MCP servers card:
  add any Model Context Protocol server that speaks Streamable HTTP, with an
  optional bearer token or extra headers, test the connection, and see the
  tools it offers. While a server is on, the assistant can use its tools in
  Operator, and the ones the server marks read-only in Monitor too. Each
  server has its own switch, and Remove deletes it with its stored token.
  A token or header is only sent over plain http to a server on your local
  network.
  See docs/mcp-servers.md.
• Scheduled tasks (#132). Settings ▸ Scheduled tasks holds prompts Gotcha
  runs by itself at set times: once, every few hours or days, on chosen
  weekdays, or monthly. Each run is an ordinary agent run in a new chat, or
  added to the same chat every time, and can take files with it. Each task
  shows its next run and a history of its runs, failures included, with a
  link to the chat each one went into. A failed run is retried. You can also
  ask for one in a chat ("every weekday at 8, summarise my unread mail"): in
  Operator, Gotcha shows you the whole task and only saves it once you
  approve. A run a schedule started can't set up more tasks. Without
  "Alarms & reminders" allowed, a task asks you to tap a notification
  instead of starting on its own.
• Russian voice and replies, and roubles (#122). Russian can now be picked
  as the voice language and the reply language: Android speech is asked for
  ru-RU and API speech-to-text for ru, and the short phrases Gotcha speaks
  itself are in Russian. Gotcha's own screens stay in English. Personal Info
  offers RUB as the preferred currency, and prices in roubles, such as
  1 234,56 ₽ or 990 руб., are found on screen and converted with the
  right amount. Saved language and currency choices are kept.
• Age confirmation on first launch. The legal consent dialog on a new
  install now also asks you to confirm you are at least 18; "I agree" stays
  off until both boxes are ticked. If you already accepted, you aren't asked
  again.

Changed

• Choose Android Built-in's speech engines, and see what runs where (#122).
  With Android Built-in selected, the Speech page lets you pick the
  text-to-speech engine, its voice for the voice language and the speech
  recognizer, each defaulting to the phone's own choice. Voices are marked as
  on the phone, online or not downloaded, and a line under each section says
  whether the voice language is spoken or recognised on the phone, needs the
  internet, needs a download, or isn't supported (for the recognizer, on
  Android 13 and later). On Android 12 and later, a
  new "On-device only" switch keeps voice input off the network: if the phone
  can't recognise the voice language on the device, voice input stops with a
  message instead of going online. On Android 13 and later Gotcha asks for the
  variant of the language the phone has installed, so a phone with only Indian
  English offline is asked for en-IN, not en-US. When a recognizer can't
  take the language at all, voice input stops at once and says why. When the phone has no voice for the voice
  language, Gotcha no longer reads the reply with an English voice: it stays
  silent and says the voice is missing, without repeating it on every reply.
  Settings → Language warns about all of these too.

Fixed

• Permission asks from delegated tasks and app navigation (#133). When a
  task handed to a sub-agent needed a permission, such as location, the
  sub-agent noted the failure and went on, and no prompt ever appeared. It now
  shows the same prompt the assistant does. If you allow it, the step runs
  again. If you don't, the sub-agent stops and says what it needed, and it
  won't ask twice in one task. App navigation stops at the step that needs a
  permission or a Settings switch and asks once Gotcha is back on screen. It
  no longer mentions the permission in passing at the end.
• Faster first replies in a new chat with prompt caching (#121). Each
  chat's folder was named near the top of what Gotcha sends the AI, so a new
  chat, or the second message after a chat got its title, couldn't reuse the
  cached start of the request. The folder now comes after the
  conversation instead. Local servers such as llama-server skip reprocessing
  thousands of tokens, and providers that discount cached input charge less.
• Readable dialogs in every skin (#137). The "Clear notification
  history?" dialog and the Skills "Paste JSON" dialog were see-through in
  glass skins, and inbox cards had nearly invisible grey text. Dialogs are now
  solid, and their buttons are easy to read in Orchid and Aura. The
  stop-recording button in Deep Space Dark is easier to see.
• Switching skins no longer freezes Gotcha (#141). Tapping a skin in
  Settings ▸ Appearance could stall the screen long enough for Android's
  "Gotcha isn't responding" dialog. Skin changes now apply much faster.
• The feedback form scrolls in landscape. Its switches used to overlap
  when the phone was turned sideways.
