0.4.1

This is mostly a bug-fix release.

Renamed features and clarified docs

This releases introduces new names (in docs, cli, etc) to clarify the ambiguously used word: "session". The new vocabulary:

• daemon — the persistent background process you attach to and detach from.
• workspace — the editor's per-project unit. Multiple workspaces are managed by the Orchestrator.
• backend — where a workspace runs (local / SSH / dev container / Kubernetes).

The cli now supports --cmd daemon, but still accepts the now-deprecated --cmd session as an alias. The new vocabulary also reaches the user-facing surfaces of the editor: the Orchestrator now lists, dives into, and manages workspaces (commands, dialogs, dock chrome, and status messages), and the replace-in-project confirmation refers to files open "in this workspace". Localized strings were updated to match in every supported locale.

Features

• New language support:
  • Assembly via asm-lsp (opt-in) — GAS and NASM/Intel across x86/x86_64/ARM/RISC-V, with an offer to generate .asm-lsp.toml from the detected dialect (#1964, requested by @viti95).
  • Fish highlighting and auto-indentation (#2272), by @asukaminato0721.
  • Smali highlighting (#2265), by @asukaminato0721.
  • yarn.lock and other well-known lock/config files now highlight by their real format (#2326, reported by @asukaminato0721).
• Windows on ARM release artifacts (#784, requested by @teobugslayer; by @NihilDigit).
• CancelMark / ClearMark actions for fine-grained selection-anchor management (#2371, by @masmu).
• Git Log (Current File) command, plus concurrent git-blame buffers.

Improvements

• Workspace trust & environments:
  • A single trust prompt for every project — folders with a shell environment (.envrc / mise / .tool-versions) no longer get the env-manager plugin's separate popup; the one prompt names the detected markers and activates on trust.
  • Environment detection is defined once in core and user-extensible (env.detectors, now also covering pipenv and poetry); the activated environment applies uniformly across every backend — integrated terminal, Docker, Kubernetes, SSH.
  • Hardening: plugins can request but never grant trust; a lone .venv no longer silently auto-trusts; venv activation uses a relative source .venv/bin/activate snippet to avoid shell injection (cf. CVE-2024-9287).
• Settings: distinct, keyboard-reachable [Inherit] / [Reset] / [Clear] per field; the language entry dialog no longer clobbers inherited fields (#2345, reported by @ren-lv).
• Orchestrator localization: the Orchestrator plugin is now fully internationalized — all 225 user-facing strings go through the editor's i18n mechanism, with translations for the 14 supported locales (cs, de, es, fr, it, ja, ko, pt-BR, ru, th, uk, vi, zh-CN, and en).
• The Orchestrator New Workspace dialog has a clearer, keyboard-linear focus model (Tab accepts the highlighted completion).

Bug Fixes

• vi-mode: delete/change/yank update the unnamed register (#2368, by @NihilDigit); the cursor moves one column left on leaving insert mode (#2349, by @ianyepan); % jumps to the matching bracket (#2346, by @ianyepan).
• Theme inspector & plugin panels (#2321):
  • Opening the theme editor no longer breaks Orchestrator dock clicks/scrolling — plugin panels are scoped to their owning plugin.
  • Ctrl+Right-Click reports accurate theme keys for the status bar, tab bar, scrollbar, file explorer, menus, and dock, drawing above the dock.
  • The plugin bridge no longer corrupts integers larger than 32 bits (timestamps, byte offsets).
• Java (jdtls) and other Eclipse LSP4J servers: features registered via client/registerCapability now work — their string JSON-RPC ids were misparsed as notifications and dropped (#2340, reported by @maxandersen).
• LSP/plugin popups follow the active theme's popup_* colors instead of a hard-wired dark background (#2379, by @peanball).
• Paste falls back to the internal clipboard and works again on Termux (#2343, reported by @nightshade427).
• npm .cmd/.bat shims resolve on Windows, so npm-installed language servers spawn (#2324, reported by @SupertigerDev).
• Occurrence highlighting uses a theme-appropriate background in every shipped theme (#2312).
• Review Diff lists files inside untracked directories (#2315).
• The embedded terminal forwards the wheel as a mouse report to mouse-tracking programs, so scrolling no longer cycles their history (#2366).
• Replace toolbar: checked search options are visible in every theme (#2363).
• Alt+W and other search toggles no longer leak into the close prompt (#2359).
• Fixed a crash on a stale soft-wrap position in multi-byte text (#2320).
• Trusting a workspace with a shell or virtualenv environment (.envrc / mise / .venv) no longer restarts the whole editor: other windows keep their running terminals, language servers, and Orchestrator dock; only the active window refreshes to pick up the new environment.
• A file opened while a split is maximized — for example via an embedded fresh <file> forwarded from a maximized terminal dock — is now revealed instead of rendering hidden behind the maximized split (which previously looked like the terminal had hung).

Internals

• Refactored the UI element rendering pipeline to make it easier to introduce alternative rendering frontends.
