New

Automation task management: a new automation engine with scheduling (hourly, daily, weekday, weekly, cron), model selection, reasoning effort, and run history — including the Schedule tool with full IPC and UI support.
Network settings panel: direct connection, system proxy, custom proxy configuration, and connectivity testing; OAuth login now prefers the system browser, falling back to an embedded window.
Full localization: the session area, shortcut dialog, sidebar, Composer, and Settings now fully support Chinese and English.
Tray menu and status badges: the macOS tray menu supports new conversation, settings, and quit, plus animated running/waiting/unread status.
Tiered model selection: added a Quick model for fast replies, with defaultReasoningEffort auto-assigning reasoning levels.
New models: Kimi 2.7, MiniMax 3.0, GLM 5.2, and Fable 5.
More personalization: additional personalization options in Settings.

Improvements

Sidebar tab, expand/collapse, and pin state now persist to workspace.json and restore across windows.
Adjusted Fable 5's default reasoning effort to low and Opus to medium.
OAuth login now goes through the app proxy, showing a "return to Finch" button on both success and failure.
Reduced system resource usage and improved streaming performance and responsiveness.

Fixed sidebar state failing to persist and restore.
Fixed left sidebar width restoration and the expand/collapse animation in compact mode.
Fixed the floating left sidebar covering content and z-index stacking issues.
Fixed session timestamps in the sidebar not updating optimistically after sending a message.
Fixed an empty old_string in batch-edit format hiding diff content.
Fixed a missing copy toolbar after completion, tool timeouts interrupting sessions, system language detection, and session model switching.
