OpenChamber v1.24.1: Faster chats and session lists

on GitHub

New

• Chat: attach files and images to /btw messages through the file picker, paste, or drag and drop.
• Mini Chat: use installed extensions from a message's action menu.

Improvements

• Sessions: large session lists open faster and use less memory, with smoother scrolling across projects (thanks to @deatheros).
• Chat: lower CPU use while the agent thinks or writes a response (thanks to @deatheros).
• Interface: clearer checkbox and radio outlines, brighter secondary text, and larger labels make controls easier to read.
• Interface: lighter text rendering on macOS.

Fixes

• Web: instances on different ports stay signed in independently. Existing browser sessions on an explicit port need one fresh sign-in after upgrading (thanks to @jlu-lujing).
• Chat: sending a message no longer briefly flashes "OpenCode did not start a reply".
• Chat: the queue panel starts expanded, remembers your choice across sessions, and leaves the last messages readable above the queue and /btw panels.
• Chat: inline $...$ formulas render correctly, and display formulas with apostrophes or ampersands no longer appear as red errors (thanks to @Dawnfz-Lenfeng).
• Chat: reconnecting mid-response no longer drops part of the streamed text (thanks to @deatheros).
• Git: Commit & Push and Sync publish new branches to the configured push remote and confirm success only when something was pushed (thanks to @IbrahimKhan12).
• Git: staged and unstaged rows show their own added and removed line counts for partially staged files (thanks to @Naputt1).
• Git: large repositories no longer spawn dozens of git processes, and very large untracked folders appear as one folder entry.
• Settings/Usage: Gemini 3.x models such as Gemini 3.1 Pro are included in the initial model selection (thanks to @DeryFerd).
• Mini Chat: the dictation keyboard shortcut now starts voice input.
• Extensions: clicking an option in an extension's dropdown or menu now applies the selection reliably.
• Desktop/SSH: remote setup finds Bun-installed programs in custom cache locations, fixing "installed but no openchamber binary could be found" (thanks to @hdp01).
• Desktop/Linux: the AppImage shows the OpenChamber icon in GNOME's launcher (thanks to @bashrusakh).
• Installation: fresh npm installs include the dependencies needed to start the server (thanks to @presswizards).

SDK

• Actions: use mode: "background" and host.onAction to handle message and session actions without opening a panel.
• Extensions: declare background.entry to run actions and slash commands on demand. A visible panel and sidebar icon are optional.
• Notifications: host.toast now supports copy, dismiss, and persistent options for Copy and OK buttons and notifications that stay until dismissed.
