🎉 Highlights

• 🪟 Windows support is here — Nexu now officially supports Windows as a first-class desktop platform. Install, upgrade, local runtime, tray behavior, and SkillHub extraction all received a full stabilization pass. (#949, [#986], [#988], [#1021], [#1030], [#1073]) Thanks @PerishCode, @alchemistklk, @mrcfps, @lefarcen, and @Siri-Ray.
• ⚙️ Refined desktop settings & update experience — Settings align with the workspace design system, the update flow consolidates into a single entry with real background download progress, and the balance / account area got a visual polish pass. (#984, [#1020], [#1022], [#1033], [#1056]) Thanks @Siri-Ray and @lefarcen.
• 🎬 Feishu video direct delivery — LibTV video delivery now runs through a detached background waiter, making long-running sends smoother and less likely to block the foreground experience. (#973) Thanks @alchemistklk.
• 🔌 Channel reliability & diagnostics — Connect/disconnect flows surface clearer failure diagnostics with structured logging, and QQBot/DingTalk plugin packaging issues were fixed. (#1001, [#1003], [#1018], [#1037]) Thanks @lefarcen and @Siri-Ray.
• 🆓 Zero-credit model access — Users with zero credits can now continue chatting via free models. The platform automatically routes zero-credit requests to a configurable fallback model, so new users and users who have used up their credits still get a working experience out of the box.

✨ What's New

• 🪟 Windows desktop is now a first-class path — Packaging, user-data migration, local updates, tray behavior, and SkillHub catalog extraction all stabilized for daily Windows use. (#949, [#986], [#988], [#1021], [#1030])
• 🔄 Background auto-download with real progress — Updates download silently in the background; the settings page shows live progress when opened, and a single consolidated banner replaces the previous duplicate update UI. (#1020, [#1033])
• 🧭 Desktop settings aligned with workspace design — Account area, shell preferences, and model picker brought in line with the workspace visual language. (#984, [#1022], [#1034])
• 💳 Credits & balance polish — Gifted credits now appear in the sidebar balance popup, and the popup renders via portal to fix clipping issues. (#985, [#990])
• 🎥 Feishu video hardening — Long-running video delivery no longer blocks foreground flows. (#973)
• 🆓 Zero-credit model fallback — Zero-cost models bypass credit rejection; when credits are exhausted, requests automatically route to a free fallback model instead of failing.

🛡️ Stability & Reliability

• 🔁 Windows migration hardening — User-data path handling and migration logic stabilized to reduce upgrade regressions. (#1021)
• 🧰 Installer safety — Windows installer directory-selection pages hidden to prevent install-path-related data loss. Windows installer now retries gracefully when a running Nexu instance is detected. (#1030, [#1073])
• 🔧 OpenClaw config determinism — Skill lists and config serialization sorted deterministically, eliminating unnecessary runtime reloads from key reordering. (#1033)
• ⚡ Skill install sync batching — Batch skill installs now trigger a single OpenClaw config sync instead of one per skill, eliminating the restart loop that left the agent stuck on "starting" during initial bootstrap. (#1074)
• 🧠 Structured channel diagnostics — All channel connect/disconnect flows now produce structured logs for easier production tracing. (#1003, [#1018])
• 💬 WeChat runtime fixes — Fixed prewarm drain behavior and raw ID session title issues. (#972)
• 🛎️ Desktop shell polish — Improved Windows tray behavior, Mac sidebar toggle positioning, and renderer background keepalive. (#988, [#1002], [#958])
• 🔄 Desktop update failure recovery — Auto-updater now recovers gracefully from interrupted downloads and failed installs. (#1056)
