Factory Droid 0.189.0: command palette session filtering, faster defaults

The command palette now filters sessions as you type instead of showing a fixed list. Session default changes take effect immediately. Fixes include better error messages for failing status lines, custom model key helper startup, and empty response handling.

New features

  • Command palette now filters sessions as you type instead of showing a fixed list (app)

Improvements

  • Changing a session default in settings takes effect immediately instead of pausing while it saves

Bug fixes

  • A failing custom status line now names the problem and points to /statusline instead of leaving a blank row
  • Custom models that get their key from a helper command now start up instead of failing without a static API key
  • A turn ending with an empty response now finishes successfully instead of failing with a no-output error
  • File paths in responses are only shown as links when they can actually be opened, with tooltip showing where they open (app)
  • Sending a message moves that session back to the top of recent sessions immediately (app)
