Highlights

• Added Codex-style side conversations: branch a side thread from the one you are in and come back with the answer (#2428).
• Gave projects a first-class Settings page: manage every project Maka knows, pick the default one new conversations open in (explicit default beats last-used; the composer can still switch per conversation) (#2446), rename and reveal a project from its row menu (#2447), and carried the list on the entity-list components with folder anchors and tail-preserving path truncation (#2451).
• Closed three self-serve gaps reported by users: the Models page can set the default connection where the 默认 badge lives (#2421), new conversations take a configurable default thinking level and the composer menu says 模型默认 instead of a deceptive 默认 (#2430), and the 外观 page structure, grouping, and copy were brought under the settings idiom (#2343).
• Introduced custom pets end to end: a pack contract with atomic storage (#2422), safe pack import (#2423), a pack library (#2427), persisted selection (#2437), management in Settings (#2440), rendering (#2442), and runtime-state-driven animation (#2444).
• Enabled Mimo and DeepSeek free models by default for OpenCode Free (#2431) and seeded its default inventory on create (#2443).
• Removed the product Voice module end to end (#2426).
• Closed the Runtime Host M4 readiness gaps (#2419). Reliability and developer experience
• Windows: serialized root marker repair (#2438), stabilized portable path tests (#2395), enabled long paths for bare Git fixtures (#2435), normalized CI process identities (#2334), and refreshed the test skip inventory (#2434).
• Storage: removed worktrees outside their cwd (#2424).
• Renamed the desktop UI components to kebab-case (#2417), finished two CI cleanups and reformatted what landed unformatted (#2432), and trimmed low-value guard and CSS-contract suites while fixing sqlite warning noise (#2425). Distribution
• Ships for Apple Silicon macOS as a signed and notarized DMG and ZIP, and for Windows x64 as an unsigned NSIS installer and ZIP, built and verified in the same release run.
• The bundled Computer Use skill ships with the app, but the Computer Use executor remains excluded from this release.
