Task tools everywhere and steadier replies
Fixed
- Task tools are now available to every supported harness and to team leads, not only some of them (#331).
- The thread header keeps the theme colour under accessibility display preferences, with imported light and dark themes too (#338).
- Streaming and final replies stay in view while they arrive and as they become saved history, and typing in the composer does less layout work (#333).
- Arabic and Hebrew prose is shown right to left automatically, decided per block; code and math stay left to right (#342).
- Keyboard shortcuts such as ⌘K, ⌘N and ⌘F now work on non-English keyboard layouts, while IME conversions keep their keys (thanks to PR [#337]).
- Inspector panels recover after a task fails to load instead of staying on Loading.
- Release security scans retry transient scanner downloads, and any missing scan coverage is reported explicitly instead of looking clean.
Known limitations
- Reduced layout work while typing lowers CPU use, but high CPU on some Linux systems during long sessions may not be fully resolved.
- An inspector that fails to load a task now recovers, but other causes of a stuck inspector reported in [#340] may remain.
- Packaged native installers have not been manually exercised on real hardware for this release.
Installing
- macOS (Apple silicon): open
PandaCode-macOS-arm64.dmgand drag PandaCode to Applications. This build is signed and notarized, so macOS opens it without a warning. - macOS (Intel): the same, with
PandaCode-macOS-x64.dmg. - Windows x64: run
PandaCode-Windows-x64-setup.exe. If SmartScreen warns about an unknown publisher, choose More info > Run anyway. - Windows arm64: run
PandaCode-Windows-arm64-setup.exe(same SmartScreen step). - Linux x64:
chmod +x PandaCode-Linux-x86_64.AppImageand run it. - Linux arm64:
chmod +x PandaCode-Linux-aarch64.AppImageand run it. - Any of the above, from a terminal:
npx pandacodedownloads, verifies and installs the right build, and signs it locally on macOS, so no Gatekeeper warning appears.
