macOS builds are unsigned. On first launch right-click the app and choose Open to bypass Gatekeeper.

Chat-session inspector in the Output tab — open any chat session as a structured run, with a dropdown to switch between Runs and Chats.
file_metadata / markdown_meta tool — a new agent-accessible tool that returns rich metadata for files in the workspace:
- Frontmatter parsing for .md / .mdx with EOF-terminated support.
- Word / character / line / paragraph counts that correctly skip fenced and inline code.
- Heading outline with slug anchors.
- First-paragraph excerpt with markdown stripping (snake_case identifiers preserved).
- Opt-in extraction of links, images, code blocks, and todo items.
- Per-file error model and input validation; binary and truncation handling for body parsing.
Solo Author example profile — a new starter prompt profile aimed at single-author manuscript workflows.
Concise chat responses by default — chat replies stay short unless the user explicitly asks for more depth.

Editor canvas now seeds from the live buffer, so it survives layout remounts (e.g. when the popout or panel toggles).
Workspace own-write echo suppression uses file mtime instead of a wall-clock window — no more false-positive "file changed externally" prompts on tool writes.
Settings: the editor font-size slider is now wired up, and its range is aligned with the chat font slider.
Output tab: the Runs / Chats toggle collapsed into a single dropdown.
Prompts: CORRECTED and SUGGESTED REWRITE outputs no longer carry a trailing [Note: …].
Solo Author profile: Grammar & Spelling no longer split into two separate actions.

Drop unused ErrorCode variant from the tools layer; clarify tool descriptions; add read_failed coverage.
Test coverage for the new markdown / file_metadata parser: EOF frontmatter, empty fenced blocks, unclosed fences, live editor buffer path, contract regression.
