A frozen window recovers, not a Force Quit

  • Aura now notices when its own window has stopped painting. It tells you so and offers to bring it back, and the state you were in is kept — so recovering costs you a reload rather than a restart and a lost session.
  • Sessions you start in a terminal reach the web console now. What you asked for, what changed and the commits it landed all arrive, instead of a session that looked like it did nothing because nothing was ever sent.
  • A change now names the files its reason was written about. Files were reading "no reason was written about this" while the reason sat right there, unattached — the change and the reason are joined again.
  • Worktrees stop being filed as projects of their own. A worktree is a view of a project, not a second project, and the picker is the length it should be again.
  • Every menu in the app is the same menu: one panel, one type ramp, one spinner, shared with the web console. macOS Tahoe stops rounding controls into pills. Settings grows a Team page for the cloud org roster.
  • The web console at app.auravcs.com is a new app this release. Sessions, changes, machines and git hosting are rebuilt on the desktop app's own surfaces, so a session you open in a browser reads exactly as it does on your machine.
