v4.1.0 - Providers, Controlled Self-Evolution, Skills & Diagnostics

This release builds on v4.0.1 with a broad provider and runtime reliability pass. It adds first-class Atlas Cloud support, introduces a Claude Subscription provider path, lands controlled self-evolution, improves skill activation and pinning, hardens custom tool creation, and fixes several model-picker, streaming, voice, vision, setup, and diagnostics regressions that surfaced after the 4.0.0 rebrand.

Provider Runtime & Model Catalog

• Atlas Cloud first-class provider - adds Atlas Cloud as a native provider instead of treating it as a generic custom endpoint, with provider identity, setup copy, authentication wiring, runtime routing, and model references that behave like the existing first-class providers.
• Atlas Cloud model catalog fetching - adds live Atlas model discovery, cache integration, provider-qualified model refs, catalog refresh handling, and status/readiness checks so Atlas models appear through the same catalog path as other providers.
• Atlas Cloud agent capability classification - maps Atlas-hosted models into chat and agent-ready surfaces using the provider's API metadata plus curated fallbacks for known frontier/provider families, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, MiniMax, DeepSeek, and similar tool-capable chat models.
• Atlas Cloud vision capability support - classifies Atlas-hosted multimodal chat models as vision-capable where supported, including hosted OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, Qwen-VL, Kimi-VL, GLM vision, and related model families.
• Atlas Cloud media-model filtering - keeps Atlas image-generation and video-generation models out of chat, agent, and vision picker surfaces for this phase, preventing non-chat media models from leaking into incompatible workflows.
• Atlas Cloud streaming fixes - scopes the OpenAI-compatible buffered tool-call path so Atlas can stream assistant text after tool calls without disturbing existing OpenAI-compatible providers.
• Atlas Claude transport handling - adds Atlas-specific Claude behavior for streaming, tool-call replay, and native tool-history cleanup so Anthropic-hosted models behind Atlas can complete agent turns reliably.
• OpenAI-compatible transport regression coverage - expands tests around streaming, buffered tool output, Claude-shaped tool calls, and provider-specific transport behavior to protect OpenRouter and other existing compatible endpoints.
• Provider capability resolution - strengthens the shared capability-resolution path used by catalogs, readiness checks, vision routing, and agent eligibility so provider metadata, curated known-good families, and cached model data agree more consistently.
• Provider status and readiness improvements - updates provider readiness, runtime selection, status reporting, catalog cache behavior, and auth-store integration to support the new providers without changing the behavior of existing ones.

Claude Subscription Provider

• Claude Subscription provider support - adds a first-class provider path for Claude Subscription usage, with provider registration, auth-state detection, model references, runtime selection, and setup/status surfaces.
• Claude Subscription messages transport - adds a dedicated transport for Claude Subscription message exchange, including prompt conversion, tool-call handling, and response normalization.
• Claude Subscription auth and diagnostics - adds provider subscription-auth helpers, external credential handling, readiness checks, and tests so the app can report whether the subscription runtime is actually available.
• Provider selection integration - wires Claude Subscription into provider/model selection without taking over Anthropic API-key behavior or other Claude-compatible provider paths.

Controlled Self-Evolution

• Controlled self-evolution engine - introduces the first controlled self-evolution runtime, with structured change proposals, reviewable execution boundaries, persistence, and test coverage.
• Self-reflection skill updates - adds bundled self-reflection guidance so Row-Bot can reason about improvement opportunities through a constrained skill flow instead of ad-hoc code changes.
• Dream-cycle integration - connects controlled improvement work into the existing dream-cycle and memory-policy systems so reflection output can be captured and revisited safely.
• Prompt and agent integration - updates agent and prompt wiring so self-improvement behavior is explicit, bounded, and aligned with the rest of the assistant runtime.
• Command Center visibility - adds UI/status hooks for evolution state and related activity so controlled self-evolution is observable instead of hidden background behavior.

Skills, Developer Tools & Custom Tool Builder

• Skill pinning defaults - adds default pinning behavior and activation tests so important skills can remain discoverable and stable across sessions.
• Skill activation reliability - improves the skill activation path and channel command handling, with coverage for pinned skills, command routing, and activation edge cases.
• Custom tool builder hardening - strengthens Git and virtualenv handling in the custom tool builder so new tool projects are created more reliably across local environments.
• Developer Studio storage and capsules - improves developer storage, tool capsule handling, and Developer Studio UI behavior used by the custom tool flow.
• Tool-builder guidance updates - refreshes the custom tool builder guide to reflect the safer Git/venv workflow and the current implementation.

Chat, Voice & Model Picker Reliability

• Anthropic thinking-block normalization - fixes normalization of Anthropic thinking blocks so reasoning content does not corrupt downstream transcript handling.
• Local voice talk submission fix - repairs local voice talk submission so voice input can be sent through the normal chat path again.
• Ollama vision cache handling - fixes Ollama vision model detection to respect cached capability data instead of losing vision support after catalog refreshes.
• Migration wizard repair - fixes migration wizard UI and Ollama status behavior so setup and upgrade flows do not report misleading provider state.
• Model-picker regression coverage - adds tests around chat-only, vision, provider readiness, and model-picker behavior to prevent capability labels from drifting again.
• Streaming batcher coverage - expands streaming tests around batched output so incremental rendering remains responsive after provider and tool-call changes.
• Chat keybinding coverage - adds chat keybinding tests to protect composer behavior while provider and streaming internals continue to evolve.

Insights, Status & Diagnostics

• Insights status tray diagnostics - fixes the insights status tray diagnostic path so provider and runtime issues are surfaced with more useful state.
• macOS tray reliability - restores the packaged macOS launcher to the pystray green/grey status dots after the native menu-bar icon path proved unreliable on test installs.
• Row-Bot status tool updates - refreshes the Row-Bot status tool and guide, including provider/media reporting paths used during diagnostics.
• Provider settings and status UI - updates provider settings, status checks, status bar, setup wizard, and related UI state for the new provider/runtime readiness model.
• Home and performance stability - improves home-screen performance behavior and adds UI performance coverage for the post-rebrand shell.
• Application stability tests - adds broader app-stability hardening tests around setup, settings, provider state, streaming, and catalog interactions.

Documentation, Website & Architecture

• Architecture docs refresh - updates the architecture documentation and diagrams to match the Row-Bot rebrand and current runtime/provider structure.
• Website download links - updates the docs site download links for the v4.0.1 package line.
• Runtime and provider documentation alignment - updates README and docs surfaces touched by provider setup, installer guidance, and architecture diagrams.

Tests & Release Validation

• Atlas Cloud coverage - adds first-class Atlas tests for model catalog fetching, capability classification, auth/setup behavior, OpenAI-compatible transport behavior, streaming, tool calls, and vision refs.
• Claude Subscription coverage - adds Claude Subscription auth, transport, provider runtime, and subscription-readiness tests.
• Controlled self-evolution coverage - adds controlled self-evolution tests around proposal handling, persistence, guardrails, and integration points.
• Skill and command coverage - adds tests for skill pinning, skill activation, channel skill commands, and custom tool builder flows.
• Provider runtime coverage - expands provider catalog, runtime, selection, readiness, auth-store, API-key storage, and subscription-auth tests.
• UI and workflow coverage - expands tests for migration wizard behavior, insights provider status, status media, chat keybindings, streaming batching, home performance, and settings/provider contracts.

Breaking Changes And Caveats

• Atlas Cloud requires an Atlas Cloud API key and a successful catalog refresh before its live model list can be used.
• Atlas Cloud image-generation and video-generation models are intentionally hidden from chat, agent, and vision surfaces in this phase.
• Atlas capability labels depend on provider metadata plus curated known-good model families; newly released Atlas models may need a catalog refresh or future classification update before they appear with the most specific capability label.
• Claude Subscription support depends on the local subscription auth/runtime path being available and should not be confused with the Anthropic API-key provider.
• Controlled self-evolution is deliberately constrained to reviewable, bounded flows; it is not an unrestricted autonomous code modification mode.
• Custom tool builder reliability still depends on a working local Git and Python virtualenv environment.
