1.6.2 Changelog

New

Full-window session header: overview, mini program panel, and session menu move into the title bar.
Session breadcrumbs: the top level is a scope dropdown that jumps straight to a new conversation or recent sessions.
Quick text quoting: select text inside a timeline reply to create a quote snippet, with hover preview and more accurate scroll positioning.
Built-in Mermaid rendering: diagrams support fullscreen zoom and panning, with an on-demand engine that cuts the main bundle from 1199 kB to 572 kB.
Fullscreen table view: dialogs keep uniform safe margins on all four sides instead of overlapping system buttons.
Panel-tab context menu: supports Close, Close Others, and Close to the Right.

Parallel capability activation: mini programs start in parallel according to manifest capability dependencies for faster launches.
Session Turn cancellation: mini programs gain a Session Turn cancellation API.
Per-item AgentEvent authorization: full event permissions are double-checked against both manifest and persisted grants; newly added permissions are highlighted on update.
MCP Resources & Prompts: the MCP client adds resource and prompt capability integration.
Stable MCP configuration: config and business secrets move to a stable data directory and survive install-source switching.
Canvas capability: adds a display-change event API and rounds out the game Canvas runtime.
AppView breadcrumbs: preview/Diff return to the navigation stack, with page-owned breadcrumbs capped at depth 5.
File picker: the Space switcher joins the search/sort row for smoother operation.

Linux desktop integration: windows use a Finch-logo title bar, support Wayland, fall back automatically without a compositor, and gain an rpm packaging target.
New model: GPT-6 Astra is available.
Settings entry: Settings becomes its own sidebar button; the About page links straight to Settings and adds a "Learn more" link.

Persistent usage stats: model usage is written to a local cache and stays compatible across version rollbacks.
SQLite migration: Space and session state move into SQLite storage for more stable history restoration.

Faster startup: workspace and model startup states are fetched in parallel with module loading.
Renderer architecture refactor: reworks Renderer layering and long-session runtime resource ownership.
Structured logging: fills in main-process log coverage for easier diagnosis.

Fixes interrupted follow-ups leaving old tasks running and stale round content behind.
Fixes summary loss during repeated compression of very large contexts and duplicate reruns of manual and automatic compression.
Fixes missing auto-compression when the context exceeds the limit and leftover state after compression failures.
Fixes compression reruns mistaking cross-session reference material for a task to execute.

Fixes background task results appearing after the wrong message.
Fixes background notifications delivered across the wrong workspace, lost on reconnect, and per-message reply triggers.

Fixes the UI not updating dynamically after switching the session language.
Fixes new sessions stuck on skeleton loading and scrambled history-edit positioning and appends.
Fixes blank Timeline restoration, lost progressive rendering, and trailing blank space after images load.
Fixes anomalous LaTeX formula delimiter rendering.
Fixes uncleared input after skipping an interaction and leftover answers after switching sessions.

Fixes stacked dialogs where Escape closed the wrong underlying dialog and inner dialogs were obscured; text areas now fill their container by default.
Fixes Windows/Linux session layout and title-bar drag regions covering control buttons.
Fixes sub-pixel gaps between diff lines and missing timeline dialog animations.

Corrects oversized GPT context-window configuration and misleading Kimi quota-exhaustion messaging.
Fixes Finch Plan usage grouping, vision capability, and address concatenation.

Fixes mini program pages missing a cwd fallback and being unrecoverable when the directory name and identifier mismatch.
Fixes MCP tool-list truncation, state cross-contamination with the mini program list, and missing reactivation after recovery.
Fixes today's usage not refreshing after reopening and reconnect/overload copy covering run status.
