Loach v1.3.0

What's new

• Chat folders. Drag one chat in the sidebar onto another, give the folder a name, and both are filed together. Drop chats in and out, rename or delete the folder.
• Colour labels. Tag any chat Red, Amber, Green, Blue, Purple or Pink from its Label menu. The dot follows the chat everywhere it's listed — sidebar, Space view and chat menus.
• Pinned responses. Pin any reply from its … menu and it lands in a Pinned bar under the chat header. Click a chip to jump straight back to that answer.
• Share a message. Copy any message as text or as a rendered chat-bubble image, save the image as a PNG, or open a pre-filled post on Facebook, X, Reddit or LinkedIn. Loach uploads nothing — sharing hands text to your browser or leaves an image on your clipboard.
• Start Ollama from Loach. When the daemon isn't answering, the model picker offers a Start Ollama button. Settings → Providers can also start it automatically at launch — opt-in, and only for an Ollama running on this computer.
• Auto-check for updates. Switch it on in Settings → Updates and Loach checks once per launch, showing an Update available dialog with the new version's notes. Nothing downloads until you choose Update now.

Fixes

• No more duplicate sends. Hitting send twice in quick succession can no longer dispatch the same message twice, and compaction no longer hangs partway through.
• Fresher model and Space data. Switching endpoints or editing a Space no longer leaves stale entries behind, and per-chat parameters merge correctly instead of clobbering your defaults.
• Steadier upgrades. Interrupted database migrations no longer leave the app unable to start, and MCP servers stop needlessly reconnecting.
• Assorted stability, security and accessibility hardening throughout the app.
