v5.2.1 - Fixes For The Mac, Skills And Sign-In

A fix release, mostly for the Mac. On a Mac installed from the DMG, documents, Row-Bot's browser, Computer Use and Skills now work as they do on Windows and Linux. Row-Bot 5.2.0 updates to 5.2.1 in the background.

Mac

• Documents process on a Mac - processing never started on macOS (since 5.0). It does now, from Settings › Documents and from a chat.
• Browser Automation and design exports - installing Row-Bot's browser works with the current Playwright build, so design exports to PNG, PDF and PowerPoint work on a Mac too.
• Computer Use installs - Cua Driver installs on macOS, on slower connections too, and then asks for the macOS permissions it needs.
• Skills - Settings › Skills lists your skills, and adding a featured skill opens it, on a Mac installed from the DMG.
• Background processes - Developer background processes, such as a dev server, need Windows, Linux or a Docker workspace; on a Mac, Row-Bot now says so and suggests running the command in the conversation.

Everywhere

• A locked keychain - when the system keychain is locked or unavailable, connecting ChatGPT or xAI says so and how to unlock it, instead of reading "Connected", and never blocks connecting the other one.
• Downloads that fail say so - a browser, Cua Driver, voice or search model download that fails says what failed and what to do next, instead of "Row-Bot couldn't confirm that".
• Files on this computer - the app asks which folder it may use, and starts with it.
• Updates - after Check now, the page's header shows the new check time.
• Running times - a step that ran for 6 minutes 59.6 seconds reads 7m, not 6m 60s.

Upgrade Notes

• From 5.2.0 - Row-Bot downloads 5.2.1 in the background; restart when it says Restart to update.
• From 5.1 or 5.0 - read the 5.2.0 notes below: the move to 5.2 needs the full installer once.
• Files on this computer - if you added it in 5.2.0, remove it and add it again to choose its folder.

Known Issues

• Windows Firewall may ask again after an update - with phone or LAN access on, Windows can ask once more after each update. Allow it; a later release keeps one fixed path.
• The first time on a Mac - when Row-Bot first works in your Documents folder, macOS asks for permission, and the command waits until you answer.
• Maths in replies - formulas show as plain text, sometimes with LaTeX marks such as \( and \).
