Features

• Critical announcements now show a red title with a clickable [hide] button and aligned message.
• Added remote_fetch option under [features] in config.toml to disable all backend catalog and settings fetches for air-gapped environments.

Bug Fixes

• Images pasted or read from GIF, BMP or TIFF files are now automatically converted so they work with image generation.

• Hook matchers now correctly see the real MCP tool name instead of the internal dispatcher name.
• Copy now succeeds when running inside containers even when the terminal brand cannot be detected.
• Tool result previews no longer paint opaque panels in grok --minimal.
• grok wrap now correctly handles quoted strings and shell aliases.

• Fixed a freeze that could occur when editing and sending the last message in the queue.
• Fixed a startup crash on minimal Linux systems lacking system CA certificates.

Performance

• Grep now stops early on broad searches, returning faster results with far less memory use.
• Idle CPU and memory usage after long sessions or resume is now dramatically lower.
