iOfficeAI/AionUi v1.9.8

on GitHub

New Features

✨ Highlight1: Desktop Pet

A new always-on-top animated companion that lives on your desktop and reacts to AI activity in real time.

AI Awareness

• Reacts to Claude's state: shows a thinking animation while the AI processes,
  switches to working while generating, celebrates with happy on success,
  and expresses error when something goes wrong.
• Supports Do Not Disturb mode — pet stays visible but ignores AI events.

AI Tool Confirmations

• When Claude requests permission to use a tool (file access, commands, etc.),
  a confirmation bubble pops up near the pet.
• Full keyboard support: Enter to confirm, Esc to deny, A to always allow,
  Y / N for one-time choices, 1–9 for numbered options.
• The bubble is draggable and remembers its position.

User Interactions

• Single click → pet reacts with attention
• Double click left / right → poke animations
• Triple click → frustrated reaction
• Drag the pet anywhere on screen; it remembers its position

Idle Behaviors (time-based progression)

• 20s idle → random glance / reading animation
• 60s idle → yawning, then dozing
• 10 min idle → deep sleep; wakes up when you move the mouse

Eye Tracking

• In idle state, the pet's eyes follow your cursor within a 300 px radius.

Customization (Settings → Desktop Pet)

• Toggle on/off
• Three sizes: Small (200 px) / Medium (280 px) / Large (360 px)
• Do Not Disturb toggle
• Choose whether tool confirmations show on the pet or in the main chat window

✨ Highlight2: @ Workspace File Mention

• Type @ in the send box to reference workspace files directly

Improvements

• Command Queue — New toggle for conversation command queue (disabled by default)

• MCP HTTP Connection — Delegated connection testing to SDK; tool _meta fields now preserved
• Sidebar — Unified row alignment tokens for consistent visual layout

Bug Fixes

• Fixed UI freeze, crash, and memory leak issues
• Fixed dark mode support in modal dialogs and preset assistant color readability
• Fixed opencode CLI not found error in agent
• Fixed multiple Electron imports breaking standalone/server mode
• Fixed MCP server not rebuilding correctly after app restart
• Fixed conversation queue indicator position (stays above processing indicator)
• Fixed IME composition text display in send box highlight overlay
• Removed CodeBuddy references; filtered custom assistants from team creation

Maintenance

• Filled missing i18n translation keys across all locales
