# Cline Desktop 0.0.9: universal macOS build, context usage ring, plan-mode enforcement

> Ships one universal macOS binary for Apple Silicon and Intel, with existing per-architecture installs migrating on next update. Also surfaces context-window usage in the composer and inherits the SDK's plan-mode command blocking and provider retry fixes.

## What changed


- Single universal macOS download; per-architecture installs migrate automatically on update
- Composer shows a token usage ring for the model's context window plus cumulative cost, colored by proximity to the limit
- Session history filterable by origin: Desktop, CLI, extension, scheduled
- Skills listed in the slash command menu alongside workflows; same-name commands disambiguated
- Plan mode hard-blocks file-editing shell commands; read-only investigation unaffected
- Context exhaustion compacts and retries once instead of failing
- Empty model responses retried on every provider (OpenRouter, Cline, OpenAI-compatible)
- Claude 4.6+ and 5.x no longer rejected over `thinking.type.enabled`
- Bedrock prompt caching restored; foundation models routed via geo inference profiles
- Installed plugins show real package names instead of "index"
- Agent header draggable again; chat message actions no longer collide with descenders
- App errors reported in diagnostics; packaged builds previously shipped with empty telemetry config so nothing was sent
- Catalog refresh adds Infomaniak and SCX.ai; model layer on AI SDK 7, Ollama native provider
