Cline Desktop 0.0.11: clipboard image paste plus broad stability fixes

Early-stage desktop app release: images paste from the clipboard into the composer, and a long list of fixes covers non-git folders, the folder picker, model selection on session open, diff path resolution, plugin listing, and error surfacing. Carries the same SDK-level durability fixes as the CLI release (queued prompts across aborts, MCP hang isolation, LiteLLM routing).

SOURCES1
  • Paste images directly from the clipboard into the composer
  • Non-git folders no longer show git jargon; welcome suggestions adapt to folder contents
  • Folder picker reports failures and offers manual path entry
  • Opening an existing session no longer overwrites the selected model
  • Diff panel resolves paths against the session working directory, fixing diffs for sessions rooted outside the app directory
  • /team prompts run through the core runtime; failed turns show their error in the transcript instead of a blank chat
  • Empty plugin install directories no longer listed as installed; plugin settings and contributions managed centrally with atomic toggles
  • Startup script-load error fixed; webview errors attributed to the causing source URL; sign-out treated as normal state, not a command error
  • UI polish: browser context menu suppressed on app chrome, chrome not text-selectable, no inner-scroller rubber-banding, lazy-loaded Settings/Sessions/Onboarding/Diff, no caret flicker, cached slash commands, Escape closes the provider/model picker, tool output no longer nests a scrollbar
  • SDK-level: queued prompts survive interruption, session context durable across aborts and hub restarts, hung MCP server doesn't block session creation (30s stdio initialize budget), SSE MCP OAuth prompt on 401, LiteLLM via Chat Completions, mid-stream retries before first output, checkpoint fixes, richer scheduled run reports
