Release Highlights

🤖 Catty on AI SDK v7

Catty's sidebar agent now runs on Vercel AI SDK v7 with a cleaner turn lifecycle: shared runtime context, step-level usage tracing, and tighter timeout handling. Context budget guards, compaction UX, and step guards were refined so long sessions stay usable without losing the active permission mode, session scope, or pending tool-output handles.

Permission handling is also more consistent. Command approval splitting, empty grant edge cases, and confirm-mode behavior were tightened so write tools and shell approvals behave more predictably across Catty, MCP, and external agents.

🖥️ Terminal performance and polish

High-output floods are handled much better in this release. Terminal flow control now aligns with VS Code-style backpressure, IPC acks are batched, and input stays responsive even when a session is dumping large logs or build output.

Autocomplete popups are clamped to the visible terminal viewport instead of rendering below the screen, serial preview behavior is improved, and restored sessions track cwd more reliably. OSC 7 setup no longer pollutes command history, startup output races are fixed, and connection logs preserve terminal replay data for later review.

🎨 Appearance and settings

Netcatty adds Copilot-style UI theme presets and runtime Dock/taskbar icon variants, so the app can better match your desktop without restarting. The Settings page also puts UI theme controls above the app icon section for quicker access.

📝 Notes and host organization

Vault Notes can now be exported as Markdown, and host groups can inherit device types from their parent group to keep large inventories organized with less manual tagging.

🛡️ Important reliability fixes

This release fixes several high-impact issues: packaged Tool CLI runtime dependencies, remote macOS SSH server stats display, Windows main-window focus when toggling visibility with the global hotkey, and a packaging regression that could prevent Netcatty from launching at all when shared terminal flow constants were missing from app.asar.

If you downloaded v1.1.46 shortly after the first publish and the app fails to open, please download again from this page — the republished build includes the startup fix.
