New

A fuller Skill system: a new Skills page and routes for browsing, searching, installing, and creating skills; the skill scanner now parses multi-line YAML block-scalar descriptions; added a sidebar entry and keyboard navigation.
Navigation history and multi-window restore: multi-window state restore, gesture navigation, Composer input state management, and draft persistence.
Rich Composer and @mentions: a rich text input box, with an @mention popup that smart-searches files, Spaces, and skills, auto-triggering on paste.
Custom Space icons and colors: each Space can set its own icon and color via a right-click menu; AppCall can specify these directly when creating a Space.
Image preview modal: click any AttachmentChips thumbnail for a full preview; ModalShell now supports a backdrop-only mode.
Direct PDF reading: Read/Grep now extract PDF text, tables of contents, and links with size limits, reading page by page; PDF cache auto-releases after a 20-minute TTL.
Keep-awake support: prevents display sleep while plugged in so closing the lid doesn't cut the connection, while staying power-saving on battery.
Drag-and-drop automation task ordering: reorder automation tasks by dragging.
Release download proxy: updates now download faster via dl.finchwork.app.
