Vellum 0.7.1

A focused polish release with stronger Language Model controls, more reliable trust rule editing, Chrome extension fixes, macOS quality-of-life improvements, and credential infrastructure upgrades for smoother local and cloud assistant setups.

Highlights

• Language Model controls got more precise: profile-specific context budgets, model-aware max token sliders, refreshed context metadata, and effective context handling across the main agent loop, wake paths, and slash commands make model profiles behave more predictably
• Your Own mode is more reliable: explicit user saves are now respected, main agent profiles can override static defaults, profile context and slider fallbacks are preserved, and actual provider metadata is stamped correctly when routing picks a non-default provider
• Trust rules and approvals are easier to understand: rule editor copy now shows natural language instead of structured tool data for non-bash tools, trust badge taps open the right edit flow, and approval provenance is tracked with mode, reason, and risk threshold fields
• Chrome extension reliability improved with fixes for status probing, activity isolation, privileged tabs, popup icon paths, self-hosted UX, and hostname handling across local and cloud modes
• macOS polish and workflow fixes: turn-end notifications now fire when the app is unfocused, task progress widgets default inline with a pop-out option, the profile editor is cleaner, toolbar state is better isolated from conversation list updates, and account deletion requests can be started from the app
• Credential and CLI infrastructure moved forward with credential account key normalization, a direct CES credential management CLI, API key migration work, and a new vellum upgrade --latest flag for pulling the newest available version
