Added
- Installed Models Manager — View, launch, and disable models configured in external tools (Goose, Crush, Aider, Qwen, Pi, OpenHands, Amp)
- Access via Command Palette (Ctrl+P) → "Installed models"
- Scans all supported tool configs automatically on opening
- Displays all models per tool (e.g., Crush shows both large and small models)
- Actions: Launch (Enter), Disable (D) with backup, Reinstall (R)
- Soft delete: Comments out model entries and saves backups to ~/.free-coding-models-backups.json
- Full mouse support for the TUI — Click, right-click, double-click, and scroll work throughout the interface
- Click column headers — Sort by any column (click Rank, Tier, SWE%, CTX, Model, Provider, etc.)
- Click model rows — Move cursor to any model (left-click)
- Right-click model rows — Toggle favorite (same as F key)
- Double-click model rows — Select model and launch (same as Enter)
- Mouse wheel — Scroll through the main table, overlays (Settings, Help, Changelog), and command palette results
- Click CLI Tools header — Cycle through tool modes (same as Z key)

Changed
- CLI Tools column redesigned — Renamed from "Compatible with" to "CLI Tools", with left-aligned emoji display (compatible tools packed left instead of fixed slot positions)
- Sort arrow overflow fixed — SWE%, CTX, Stability, and Uptime columns now properly fit within their widths when sorted (arrow now
↑SWE%instead of↑ SWE%) - Mouse sequence suppression — SGR mouse sequences no longer leak into keypress handlers (prevents spurious sort/filter triggers when clicking)
Fixed
- Command palette scroll leak — Mouse wheel no longer injects raw SGR sequence bytes into the command palette text input
- Double-action on model click — Clicking a model row now only moves the cursor; it no longer simultaneously triggers column sorting
- Mouse event listener order — Fixed race condition where readline emitted keypress events before mouse data was processed
[0.3.24] - 2026-03-19
Added
- Unique emoji per tool — Every CLI tool now has a dedicated emoji shown in the Compatible column, Z-cycle badge, command palette, help overlay, and README (📦 OpenCode, 🦞 OpenClaw, 💘 Crush, 🪿 Goose, π Pi, 🛠 Aider, 🐉 Qwen, 🤲 OpenHands, ⚡ Amp, 🦘 Rovo, ♊ Gemini)
- Merged compat column — OpenCode CLI and Desktop share 📦 in a single slot (11 slots instead of 12 separate initials)

- Tool color system - Each of the 12 supported tools now has a unique RGB color and emoji used in the Z-cycle badge and compatibility column
- Incompatible model highlighting - When a tool mode is active (via Z), models that can't run with that tool get a dark red background for instant visibility — they stay in their normal sorted position (not pushed to the bottom)
- Tool compatibility functions -
getCompatibleTools()andisModelCompatibleWithTool()in tool-metadata.js for programmatic compatibility checks - Incompatible model fallback overlay - When pressing Enter on a model that can't run on the active tool (red-highlighted row), an in-TUI overlay appears with two options: (1) switch to a compatible tool, or (2) pick a similar model by SWE score that works with the current tool
