v0.22.0

• 3D pack. w-pack install 3d sets up Blender 5 with the Cycles GPU runtime
  for your card (AMD HIP, Intel Arc oneAPI; NVIDIA renders through its driver).
  The W assistant can build and edit scenes in a running Blender — inspect them,
  run code, take viewport screenshots, export — with Blender's safe mode on and
  its telemetry off. Blender follows your W theme live; a theme preset you pick
  in Blender yourself is left alone. Every Open/Save dialog in Blender opens at
  the same size as the rest of W. The pack is heavy: about 2.5 GiB with its
  dependencies. On an AMD machine whose processor has integrated graphics,
  Cycles lists the iGPU as a second HIP device named after the CPU — untick it
  in Preferences → System, or renders split onto the slower chip.
• Engine upgrades for ComfyUI and InvokeAI. Both install their engine from
  upstream, so system updates never moved it. w-pack outdated now shows the
  installed and the newest stable version, and sudo w-pack upgrade moves it:
  the service is stopped (refused while it is busy), a rollback point is
  recorded, and if the new version fails to start and answer, the previous one
  is put back. To hold a specific version, set it with
  w-conf set comfyui VERSION <x.y.z> (or invokeai). Available engine
  upgrades show up in w-update status and in Hub → Packs with an Update
  button; they are never counted in the bar's update badge and
  w-update upgrade never runs them. The assistant can plan and apply the
  upgrade too.
• Ollama models live in the shared AI model store. With the ai-extra
  pack, Ollama now keeps its models in ollama/ inside the machine-wide store
  (/var/lib/w/ai-models by default) and follows w-conf set ai-models DIR
  like ComfyUI and InvokeAI. Models already in /var/lib/ollama are moved
  there once, during this update (instantly on Btrfs; otherwise copied, verified
  and only then removed). If both places already hold models, the store wins and
  /var/lib/ollama is left for you to merge by hand.
• The assistant answers everyday requests lighter. In the default goose
  host, tools of installed packs (Blender, GIMP, Inkscape) are no longer sent
  with every request; the assistant turns a pack's tools on when a task needs
  them, within the same turn. A plain question now carries 58 KB instead of up
  to 128 KB — faster and cheaper on paid models.
• Screen Recording in the launcher, next to Screenshot: it opens the region
  selector and starts recording; launching it again stops the take.
• Every Open/Save dialog opens at one size — floating and centred at
  1000×640, in every app. Some GTK dialogs used to open tiled, and GTK saved
  that full-height tile as your size for every app afterwards. If your dialogs
  still open stretched after the update, that saved size is yours and W leaves
  it alone; reset it once with
  gsettings reset org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser window-size.
  LibreOffice dialogs opened from the Start Center no longer tile either.
• Terminal launches follow your terminal. Nemo's "Open in Terminal" did
  nothing (it looked for gnome-terminal, which W does not ship); it now opens
  your selected terminal in that folder. Apps marked to run in a terminal and
  gio launch also use it, through the standard xdg-terminal-exec package,
  which this update installs.
• foot gets blur. With foot as your terminal, background blur now follows
  the blur setting, including the Hub override; before, foot was never blurred.
