What's new in 0.3.0
- Clipboard paste of files and images —
Ctrl+V in the TUI and ⌘V in the
GUI stage copied files (Finder/Explorer) and clipboard images (screenshots)
as attachments; plain text pastes as usual.
- Color-coded context breakdown —
/status (alias /usage) now shows a
segmented colored bar + legend of what fills the context window: system
prompt, project instructions, user/assistant messages, tool activity,
attachments, and provider-side overhead.
- Unified slash commands — one shared parser for both front ends: same
aliases (/q, /settings, /usage, /exit), same completions, and typo'd
commands error instead of being sent to the model. The GUI gained
/attach <path> and /jobs kill <id>.
- Background-job management —
/jobs lists long-running shell commands
moved to the background; kill one with /jobs kill <id> (TUI) or the kill
button in the GUI's background menu.
- Model picker improvements — search filter in the dialog, an
"+ add a provider / model…" form for ad-hoc endpoints, and /model <partial>
auto-resolves unique matches.
- Tab completion for command arguments — model names, session ids, file
paths for /attach, and job ids for /jobs kill.
