• Chat titles alongside replies. With Auto Title on and a Task Model chosen under Settings > Defaults, a new saved chat is named from your first message as soon as you send it, in parallel with the reply. The sidebar updates when the title is ready; a slow title never blocks the answer. Follow-ups, chats you already named, and incognito chats are left alone.
• Live thinking summaries. While the assistant reasons, the collapsed thinking block shows a short activity summary produced by the same task model from the latest reasoning excerpt, so choose a local task model when that text must stay on your machine. Summaries use at most the last 4,000 characters, refresh at most every five seconds with one request in flight, and never block the answer. The last summary stays with the message beside its duration; expand the block for the original reasoning. Summaries are not saved to history, and incognito chats keep the plain label.
• Interactive provider usage. The Provider Usage page connects a daily chart, a 365-day activity calendar, the model table, and provider bars with shared model colors. Switch the chart between Calls and Tokens, hover or focus a model to trace it, select it to keep it highlighted, and drag or arrow through days to inspect a day's breakdown. The chart shows the top twelve models by default; any other model loads its exact daily line on demand, separated from Other models without changing the totals. Token totals count only calls whose provider reported usage, and the coverage percentage says how much that is. The usage endpoint gains modelSeries plus optional model and to parameters, read-only and local as before.
• User Management, reorganized. Administrators now work in five sections under Settings > User Management: Users (accounts, pending approvals, creation and editing, deletion, two-factor recovery), Groups, Access & policies (Work, Ollama, model downloads, web search, Agents, tools, voice), Security (instance two-factor policy and audit log), and Defaults (the sign-in theme). The account list is searchable by username or email and filterable by role, pending registrations sit apart from active accounts, Create User and Edit User open focused forms, and deletion and two-factor reset confirm first. Sections take the arrow keys, Home, and End, unfinished forms survive a section switch, and sections load when first opened.
• Compact sidebar shortcuts. The compact sidebar keeps Channels, Notes, Calendar, Automations, Personas, and Imagine beneath Chat and Work, with Search last and Agents when it is enabled for the account. Hover for labels; the current destination stays highlighted; on short screens the shortcuts scroll while settings and account controls stay at the bottom. Administrators can pin System, Provider Usage, and Evaluations into the sidebar footer from the avatar menu.
• Exa MCP template. Under Settings > Tools > Start from a template, Exa prefills an MCP registration for Exa's web_search_exa and web_fetch_exa tools, administrator-only by default, replacing the Petstore example. Nothing is sent to Exa until the tools run.
• Account wallpaper on Home. The wallpaper now paints Home as well as Chat and Work, stays visible while navigation expands or collapses, and remains visible beside the mobile sidebar overlay.

• Sidebar geometry. Compact navigation uses one centered 44px hit area and even 4px row spacing across actions, destinations, history controls, and Search; empty history sections add no gap. Both sidebar sizes share the top bar's frame without an edge border or shadow. From 768px, expanding the sidebar moves the content alongside it with matching timing; on phones the expanded sidebar overlays the content. Celestial keeps the same transition and reduced motion makes it immediate.
• Narrow settings panels. Settings headers and library cards adapt to the width inside the panel, actions wrap below descriptions instead of squeezing them, and theme choices and template grids wrap; long names and identifiers stay contained.
• Credential checks wait for the lookup. Provider credential availability checks now await the current user's credential lookup and report whether an effective key exists without returning it; a lookup failure is an error rather than a false "available".
• Fifty CodeQL quality findings across the backend and the Python helpers were resolved without loosening lease guards, ciphertext limits, or storage recovery checks; Python helpers now exit reliably and report temporary-file cleanup failures while keeping the original error.
• CI and the team profile pull the pinned MinIO images from quay.io/minio; hosts that restrict registry access must allow that host.

• Pro tips cover chat titles, live thinking, the compact sidebar, and the wallpaper on Home; authentication describes the five administration sections; system monitoring documents the usage chart and the extended usage endpoint; chat tools describe the Exa template; the plugin architecture page documents credential availability checks; the platform foundation page notes the Quay-hosted MinIO images; capability contracts and every page that pointed at the old user pages now point at Settings > User Management; the Kubernetes example uses bracketed placeholders.

• Scroll fades across panels. Chat and Work lists fade softly at an edge where more items are available, clear at the beginning or end, and stay fully visible when everything fits. The top tab bar fades at its horizontal edges, selecting a tab scrolls it into view, and the new-tab button stays clear beside the strip. The same treatment follows Settings, Chat, Work, library pages, menus, and dialog content, including horizontal lists and tables; Settings keeps its title and search above the scrolling navigation. Fades update as content loads, filters change, or the window resizes, work in every theme and in right-to-left layouts, and clear around keyboard-focused controls so they stay readable; mouse or touch restores them. Text inputs and the internals of embedded apps, terminals, and editors keep their own rendering. Chat and Work use a wider fade for older content at the top and beneath their New messages and New activity buttons, which stay clear and return you to the latest content.

• Dependencies refreshed. Twenty-two packages move to their current minor or patch versions, among them the AWS S3 client, express-rate-limit, multer, pdfjs-dist, undici, i18next, KaTeX, lucide-react, react-router, framer-motion, the TypeScript ESLint tooling, Playwright, PostCSS, and tsx. A transitive js-yaml is bumped to clear an npm audit finding.
• Quieter installs on new npm. The root manifest approves the two install scripts the project relies on (better-sqlite3's native build and esbuild's binary download), so npm's install-scripts allowlist no longer warns on a fresh clone. Older npm ignores the field.
• Dependabot now opens its version-update pull requests against dev, the working branch, instead of main.

• The 0.34.1 changelog entry was incomplete at release time and now describes everything that shipped in it: account wallpapers, the Celestial and composer polish, keyboard navigation, input-method handling, chat reconnect backoff, and the dev-proxy wait. The GitHub and Forgejo release pages, the website changelog, and the demo carry the corrected text.
• Pro tips describe the scroll fades.

• Account wallpaper. In Settings > Appearance > Background Image, choose an image up to 10 MB; the source and its settings are saved to your account. Dithered, the default, renders distinct square pixels with open gaps in the shadows and compresses highlights first so pale skies stay textured; Original keeps the image smooth and Blurred softens it. All three fade into the current theme and keep text readable, Intensity previews live and saves when you stop adjusting, and zero intensity hides the wallpaper without removing it. The wallpaper paints only the Chat and Work card, never the sidebar, tab bar, or library pages, and hides behind the mobile navigation overlay. Persona backgrounds stay with their chats. Processing runs in the browser; an image whose origin forbids pixel access falls back to a local CSS treatment.
• Language before sign-in. The sign-in page has a language selector beside the theme control. The choice is kept in the browser and applies to sign-up.
• Named calendars. Type a name in New calendar… and choose Save, or press Enter, to create one.

• Celestial, polished. The day preview labels Live and Preview time and marks its timeline; Follow the clock, closing the preview, or leaving Appearance returns to real time without saving a theme setting. Manual coordinates have visible Latitude and Longitude labels with range checks; Apply or Enter saves a valid pair, an incomplete entry keeps the saved location, and Clear removes it. Sun and moon placement scales with the viewport, the pointer light stays beneath the reading surface, Chat and Work share the same glass composer, and decorative motion pauses in hidden tabs and honors reduced-motion changes at once, including during the arrival sweep. The mobile clock control has a proper touch target inside the tab bar.
• Composers, aligned. Chat and Work share one composer surface with a quiet accent border on the active writing area, controls that keep a steady height as options change, 44px touch targets on narrow screens, and model names that truncate while the full name stays accessible. The Work starting screen groups runtime policy and agent choices above the composer, side by side when there is room and stacked when there is not, keeps host-folder access and its warning visible, and keeps the model selector inside the composer at every width.
• Keyboard navigation everywhere. Settings sections are reachable with Tab then Up/Down (or Left/Right on narrow screens, following the interface direction), with Home/End, disabled sections skipped, and each section opening at the top; the settings search reports empty results. In the sidebar, Tab reaches a chat or Work task, Enter or Space opens it, the next Tab reaches its Actions button, and action menus take Up/Down, Home/End, Enter, and Esc. Prompt, skill, and tool-server dialogs trap Tab and return focus to their opener on Esc. Notes take Tab, Enter, and Space, announce the current note to assistive technology, and Clear restores the list after an empty search. Calendar controls wrap on narrow screens.
• Input methods. While Japanese, Chinese, or another composition is in progress, Enter confirms the character instead of sending or saving.
• Chat reconnects through outages. The WebSocket keeps retrying after a transient backend outage with delays capped at 30 seconds, resets the delay on success, stops on sign-out, and does not retry authentication failures.
• Development: the frontend waits for the backend. The Vite proxy waits up to 10 seconds for a local backend listener before forwarding an API request, forwards each request exactly once, and answers 503 with a retry hint if the backend stays down; static files keep serving meanwhile.

• Docker image: the maintenance CLI works again. The 0.34.0 image copied bin/cli.js without the bin/cli-args.js module it requires since the launch flags landed, so libre-webui backup, libre-webui recovery-check, and libre-webui migrate-postgres crashed on start inside the container with "Cannot find module './cli-args'". The server itself was unaffected. The image now ships every module the CLI requires, and the Docker layout test derives that list from the CLI's own imports so a new module cannot be left out again. The npm, Homebrew, and desktop packages were never affected.
• The server CORS middleware and a browser-test hostname check were tightened to satisfy CodeQL; behavior is unchanged.

• Pro tips cover the account wallpaper and the refined Celestial controls; keyboard shortcuts gain Settings navigation, sidebar history, input-method composition, and library dialog sections; the authentication, calendar, notes, workspaces, and dev-branch pages describe the new behavior above.

• Sky clock and day preview. In the Celestial theme, the clock at the end of the tab bar opens a glass preview: drag across the day to move the sun and moon, or jump straight to Sunrise or Sunset. The same preview lives in Settings > Appearance. Follow the clock, closing the preview, or leaving Appearance returns to real time. Exploring the day runs locally and never saves a new theme setting.
• ollama launch libre-webui. The packaged CLI takes --model, --ollama-url, and --no-open, mapped onto the DEFAULT_MODEL, OLLAMA_BASE_URL, and OPEN_BROWSER variables the server reads, so a launcher can hand over the model it just pulled. DEFAULT_MODEL fills the model slot of any account that has not picked one; a saved choice always wins.
• GPT-6 Astra and GPT-5.5 through the ChatGPT sign-in. The Codex provider's model catalog now lists GPT-6 Astra, GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, Luna, GPT-5.5, and GPT-5.3 Codex Spark, subject to the signed-in account's access, and the agent CLI catalog matches it.

• Weather that survives an outage. When a celestial weather request fails, the last successful reading stays for the session and retries run automatically while the theme is active, starting after 15 seconds and backing off to one every five minutes. A request that stalls for ten seconds is cancelled so it cannot block later refreshes; turning weather off or changing location cancels pending requests.
• The web app talks to the server with fetch. The axios dependency is gone from the frontend. A small client keeps the same request surface (params, blob responses, per-request timeouts, cancellation, and errors that carry the response status and body), the auth header and the session-expiry redirect live in two hooks, and the vendor bundle shrinks.
• The server's outbound HTTP runs on Node's fetch. axios is gone from the backend as well. One helper carries what the provider integrations relied on: a non-2xx status throws with the response attached, timeouts are idle timeouts as before so a long model pull or a slow download is not cut off, response size caps are enforced by Content-Length and then by a counted read, redirects are refused so credentials never follow a 3xx, and cancellation, timeout, and unreachable-host errors stay distinguishable.
• Passwords hash with bcryptjs. The native bcrypt module and its types are gone, one fewer binary to build or fetch on unusual platforms. Same cost factor, same $2b$ format; every existing password hash keeps verifying.
• .env files load through Node's own process.loadEnvFile. The dotenv dependency is gone from the server, the CLI, and the Vite config. Same lookup order (backend/.env, then the root .env), operator variables still win, and a missing file is still skipped.
• Smaller server dependency tree. morgan was no longer used (the access log has its own format that strips query strings) and is removed, the cors package is replaced by a forty-line middleware with the same behavior (allowed origins echoed with credentials and Vary: Origin, preflights answered with a 204, foreign origins still refused), and ids come from crypto.randomUUID instead of the uuid package, the same version 4 format as before.
• Manifest cleanup. sonner, lowlight, and @types/pdf-parse were declared but never imported; four type packages for artifact-runtime libraries that no type-check ever reads are gone; tar and the jsonwebtoken and multer types move to development dependencies; and React is no longer listed at the root, where every npx libre-webui install downloaded it for a prebuilt frontend that does not need it.
• The Work Computer screen's starting and idle states use the active theme's ink and canvas colours instead of fixed white-on-dark text.
• The Home greeting reuses the chat's translated time-of-day greetings instead of English fallbacks.
• Development: the backend dev server runs under Node's native --watch with tsx as a loader, replacing tsx watch.

• The Tool access switch in Settings saves immediately again, whether clicked or toggled with Tab and Space, and no longer scrolls the Settings window or loses its position. The native focus target now sits inside the visible switch.
• Windows: the database preflight cache keeps NTFS file identities intact. Device and inode numbers can exceed JavaScript's safe integer range, so they are read and stored as strings; a moved or replaced database file is detected as before.
• Settings > Appearance no longer offers the neutral-or-tinted Interface palette choice while the Celestial theme is active; the sky paints the whole palette, so the choice had nothing to act on.
• The Models tab in Settings is grayed out, with a tooltip, while an administrator has the Ollama provider disabled, since the model manager only speaks to Ollama. The provider picker stays available.
• The Work Computer screen relay rewrites a reserved WebSocket close code from websockify (sent when its VNC target is gone) into one browsers accept, so a lost screen ends as a clean close instead of "Received a broken close frame containing a reserved status code".
• The app no longer closes its first chat WebSocket mid-handshake when it re-dials with the fresh token after sign-in, which logged "WebSocket is closed before the connection is established" on every page load.
• KaTeX no longer warns in the console about en and em dashes inside inline math; it renders them as before.
• Browser tests mock the OAuth status requests, so sign-in flows no longer depend on a live provider.

• Pro tips describe the sky clock preview and the weather retry behavior; the quick start shows ollama launch libre-webui and the new CLI flags; the environment reference gains DEFAULT_MODEL; the provider and agent CLI pages list the current Codex model family; the platform foundation page notes the Windows file identity handling; and the chat tools page documents the Tool access switch.

• Celestial theme. A fourth theme that follows the sun: the palette and a live sky shift minute by minute, with sunrise and sunset moving through the year. The sun or moon crosses on its arc (the moon shows its real phase), clouds drift at different depths, stars come out after dusk with the odd meteor, a horizon glow spreads under a low sun, and an aurora ribbons across the night while a reply streams. The scene parallaxes with the pointer and tilts as you scroll the conversation; at night a lamp follows the pointer over the words and brightens with each keystroke. While you type, the sidebar and tab strip step back so the words sit in the landscape. The theme toggle cycles through it, administrators can make it the instance default, the sign-in page renders the sky, and choosing Celestial plays the last six hours into the present.
• Time of day scrubber. Settings > Appearance previews any minute of the day with today's sunrise and sunset shown; Follow the clock returns to real time.
• Your actual sky, and your weather, on your terms. Share a location (browser prompt or typed coordinates) and sunrise, sunset, and solar noon are solved for that spot. Coordinates are rounded to about a kilometre, kept only in that browser, and never join the synced preference, so the server never learns them. With a location, an opt-in Match the weather switch fetches current conditions from Open-Meteo straight into the browser: cloud cover greys the sky and dims the sun and stars, rain and snow fall, fog washes the horizon, storms flash, and wind drives the clouds. Everything above respects reduced-motion settings.
• User Management lives in Settings. Administrators find it under a new Administration group in the Settings panel, with every access toggle, policy, group, audit log, and the user list. The old /users link, the avatar-menu shortcut, and the pending-approval badge still work: they open that tab. Translated into all 25 languages.
• The demo lands in Celestial. demo.librewebui.org opens in the new theme before the app even paints.

• The celestial sky stays off the main thread: clouds drift and the sun and moon glide on the compositor, stars twinkle on their own layers, and colours ease briefly after each tick. Idle cost is about 2% of a core with no layout work, and the heap stays flat across theme switches and long idles.
• Muted text keeps its contrast over the sky, the frame (sidebar and tab strip) is one continuous surface exactly as in the flat themes, the user's bubbles are dark glass at night, and the composer is glass at all hours.
• The README hero shows the celestial dusk with a Three.js artifact.

• Imagine: gallery images no longer break after a filter change or a strict-mode remount. Each card's blob URL was revoked while the image still pointed at it; the revoke is now deferred and cancelled when the card comes straight back.
• Visiting Settings in a flat theme no longer mounts an invisible celestial sky behind the interface.

• The compressed static-asset middleware resolves every requested file inside the dist root and rejects anything that normalizes elsewhere, closing a CodeQL path-injection finding; traversal attempts are tested.

• Pro tips describe the celestial theme, the scrubber, location, and weather; every page that pointed at the User Management page now points at Settings > User Management.

• Instance default theme. A new Default theme card on the Users page lets administrators choose Light, Dark, or Pure Black for the whole install. It paints the sign-in page before anyone signs in, seeds every new account, and applies in any browser that has not picked a theme of its own; a personal choice made in Settings always wins. The default is cached locally, so a returning visitor gets it before the first paint instead of a dark flash. Translated into all 25 languages.
• Three-way theme toggle. The sun/moon button on the sign-in page and in the sidebar, Cmd/Ctrl + D, and the command palette now cycle Light, Dark, and Pure Black, and the icon shows where the next press goes.

• Long chats stay smooth while a reply streams. Streamed text used to re-render every message in the conversation on every animation frame, and none of the message components were memoized, so each finished message re-parsed its markdown sixty times a second. Messages, branches, and the content renderers are memoized, each message reads only the store slices it needs, streaming state reaches only the streaming turn, and off-screen turns skip layout and paint. Main-thread script time during one streamed reply in a 250-message chat drops from 3.1 s to 0.9 s.
• A lighter first paint. Vite 8's Rolldown had folded React itself into the markdown chunk, so every page, including sign-in, preloaded a third of a megabyte of markdown machinery. Explicit chunk groups put React back in its own vendor chunk and the release-notes modal loads on demand; the initial payload drops from 367 KB to 269 KB gzipped.
• Math and raw HTML load on demand. The KaTeX pipeline and rehype-raw's HTML parser are now lazy modules that a message loads only when it contains a $ delimiter or raw HTML is allowed (notes). The shared markdown chunk shrinks from 88 KB to 47 KB gzipped.
• Compressed, cacheable assets from the built-in server. Hashed bundles under /js/ and /assets/ are brotli- or gzip-compressed once per process and served with a one-year immutable cache lifetime, while index.html and the service worker are no-cache so a new release is picked up on the next load. Self-hosters without a compressing reverse proxy no longer download raw bytes on every visit, and the service worker now caches the /js/ chunks it had been skipping.
• Cleaner production build. The frontend targets ES2022, so noVNC's top-level await is emitted as-is without a build warning.

• The tool picker in the composer stays inside the chat pane: it is capped to the space above its button, its option list scrolls, and the enable toggle and approval hint stay pinned. It previously ran off the top of the screen under the tab bar with a long tool list.
• Artifact and Work preview sandboxes no longer emit a Content Security Policy source browsers reject (http://[::1]:* has no valid CSP form), which had logged an error on every render in development.
• The three-replica team platform drill no longer fails when the gateway's round-robin cursor resets between issuing and consuming a WebSocket ticket.

• Dependency audit: qs 6.16.0 (array-limit bypass via bracket-key comma parsing) and @humanfs/node 0.16.8 (recursive copy following symlinks), plus the earlier postcss-selector-parser bump.
• Ollama endpoint normalization uses a linear trailing-slash walk with URL length caps instead of a regular expression CodeQL flagged as polynomial.

• Pro tips describe the instance default theme and the three-way toggle; the Docker guide notes that the server already compresses and caches the built frontend so a reverse proxy need not.

• Connect your models at first run. Setup ends with a new step (also replacing the dead-end "ollama pull" card on an empty chat): an Ollama card with live detection, a local-server card whose presets — llama.cpp, vLLM, llama-swap, LM Studio, mlx-lm — share one flow with a server-side Test connection probe that lists the discovered models before enabling the provider, and a cloud card (OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, OpenRouter, Gemini, Mistral) that takes an API key and connects. Skipping is a respected answer; non-admins are pointed to their administrator. Translated into all 25 languages.
• Ollama is a setting, not an assumption. Administrators can disable the Ollama provider entirely from the access page — no more health probes, reconnect polling, or "Ollama is not available" toasts on plugin-only installs — and point the endpoint at any Ollama-compatible gateway, local or remote. Disabling from the first-run screen is one click; everything re-enables just as easily.
• Native Linux packages. Every release now builds Debian/Ubuntu packages (amd64 and arm64) with a hardened systemd service and a dedicated system user, plus an Arch Linux PKGBUILD, from the new linux-packages repository — each package install-tested against the live health endpoint before publishing.
• Omarchy bar plugin. Libre WebUI ships a verified plugin on the Omarchy marketplace: server status, health, and latency in the bar, with one-click launch as a web-app window. Documented on the docs site.

• Follow-up messages just run. Sending the next instruction to a Work task no longer demands stopping a preview the agent left running — the preview stops gracefully and the run starts, the same way the agent manages it mid-run.
• A file manager in the Work computer. Thunar sits in the sandbox dock between the browser and the terminal.
• Development networking. API and WebSocket traffic use Vite's same-origin proxy in development, so npm run dev:host works from another device without exposing the backend port; production origin policy stays strict.

• Updates can no longer strand a stale browser shell. The service worker cache is keyed to each release and clients recover automatically when a cached page requests a chunk a newer deployment removed — previously that failed dynamic import silently blanked part of the page.
• Old databases upgrade again. Ledger-less SQLite databases from releases that predate the system_settings and personas tables were refused at startup as incompatible; the bootstrap now recognizes them as upgradable history, creates the missing tables, and adopts the migration ledger — proven by a regression test that walks a pre-system_settings database end to end.
• Unanswered takeover requests keep the screen alive. Asking to take over no longer races the sandbox teardown: the screen session holds through the request plus a fifteen-minute grace window, so a late click lands on the blocked page instead of a fresh start screen.

• The Omarchy plugin's health probe is byte-capped at the producer (--max-filesize plus a hard pipeline ceiling) with the URL passed as a positional argument — reviewed and verified by the marketplace's security process.

• Routine minor and patch bumps across 15 packages, including axios, TanStack Query, and the AWS SDK; plotly.js moves to 4.0 for artifact charts.

• Approve actions before they run (Auto Review). When a Work policy requires review — or an agent's new Auto Review switch is on — the run pauses before run_command, computer_act, delete_file, move_file, or a delegation and shows a decision card in the conversation: Allow once, Always allow, or Deny. Always-allow persists a scoped rule (the command's program for shell commands, the one target for delegation), listed and removable in the Agent tab; denial reaches the model as an answer, never a silent skip; an unanswered request expires after five minutes and the run hands off as Needs input. Pending approvals notify (in-app and push) and every decision lands in the security audit log. Ships with schema migrations (SQLite v28 / PostgreSQL v27).
• Agents delegate to each other. Type @ in the Work composer to mention another hired agent, and agents carry a peer roster with a new message_agent tool. Delegation is asynchronous message-passing between separate sandboxes: the target runs in its own task (its conversation shows Delegated by the sender) and its report is delivered back into the delegating conversation — mid-run if the delegator is still working, as a waiting message if it is idle. Delegated runs cannot delegate further, busy targets refuse honestly, and a report never auto-starts a run, so agents cannot ping-pong each other.
• Webhook triggers for automations. An external system — CI, a cron service, home automation — can now fire an automation with a POST and a per-automation secret. The secret is generated in the edit dialog, shown exactly once, stored only as a hash, compared in constant time, and rotatable; a paused automation refuses external fires. Webhook fires use the same manual-run path as Run now, so history, settling, and notifications behave identically. Ships with a schema migration (SQLite v29 / PostgreSQL v28).
• Connected tools for Work agents. Agents can call the MCP and OpenAPI tool servers configured under Settings → Tools, through the same hardened backend gateway as chat (SSRF-guarded egress, per-user credentials, size and time caps) — never from inside the sandbox. Offline tasks offer none, servers missing a personal credential are filtered out at offer time instead of failing mid-run, persona tool-server bindings scope what a hired agent sees, and tools the server classifies as side-effecting pause behind Auto Review while read-only tools run free.

• Finished Work runs show a run summary: rounds, tool calls, screenshots, safety fences, verification verdicts, and recovery nudges, plus why a run handed off early — live, after reconnects, and on persisted handoff messages.
• The chat composer's dictation now runs on the same engine as the Work composer, keeping the transcription-source picker (browser speech or a named provider model) while removing a duplicated recorder implementation.

• Migrating a SQLite deployment to PostgreSQL no longer silently drops the Work policy columns for the Work Computer and screen-takeover settings — or any of the newer policy and task fields — during import.

• 35 new interface messages across all 25 shipped languages for action approvals, Auto Review rules, agent mentions and delegation labels, run summaries, and webhook management.

• The Workspaces guide covers action approvals, delegation between agents, and connected tool servers, with the API table brought current; the Automations guide documents webhook triggers with a copy-paste example; the chat tools guide notes the shared Work boundary; the notifications reference lists the approval notification type.

• Hire personas as named Work agents. Choose a persona when creating a Work task and it becomes a persistent agent with that persona's name, avatar, and instructions. Agents stay pinned above one-off tasks, show concise status and unread activity, and remain available in the compact sidebar.
• A home for every agent. The new Agent tab combines identity, a live view-only screen thumbnail, scheduled routines, and taught skills. Routines run inside the agent's existing conversation and workspace instead of creating a fresh task, while completion, attention, and takeover notifications link directly back to the agent. Ships with schema migrations (SQLite v25–v27 / PostgreSQL v24–v26).
• Star important models. Administrators can star models in the shared catalog, placing favorites first in both the catalog and default-model picker. Several stars follow most-recently-starred order, and removing one restores its manual or provider position.
• Dictate Work instructions and open results directly. The Work composer now accepts browser speech recognition or configured speech-to-text, and files created or moved by an agent appear as clickable chips that open directly in the workspace editor.
• A living Work Computer start page. The sandbox desktop gains an offline, time-aware Sunset Valley scene and built-in, checksum-verified blocking for ads, trackers, and cookie-consent banners.

• Persona identity now carries through model selectors, header chips, and assistant replies in both Chat and Work, with consistent avatar presentation.
• Settings → Model is now Defaults, separating model defaults and catalog curation from the Models manager. The existing bulk Ollama updater now lives with the installed-model controls, reports per-model progress, and refreshes the list when it completes.
• The persona editor now uses one clear Save action, stays open after the server confirms a create or update, and shows an accessible saved state.
• Tool-server save and refresh failures now show the backend's specific reason instead of a generic error.
• Recommended starter models and hardware guidance now reflect the Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.8 lineups rather than the older 2024 suggestions.

• Persona-backed replies resolve the persona's display name instead of exposing its raw identifier in model-trigger UI.
• Work Computer runs no longer fail when a provider rejects screenshots: the run switches to text-only observations, records the degradation, and continues.
• The animated start scene renders as time-keyed stills so it remains responsive under the GPU-less SwiftShader sandbox, with improved initialization and the existing PNG fallback retained.
• Containerized backends now reach Docker-published Work preview, screen, and audio ports through the configured host address, including working Docker Desktop defaults.
• Work Computer audio now loads its processor from a same-origin asset, fixing playback under the production Content Security Policy.
• The cross-replica replay drill now seeds current event timestamps so retention cannot remove fixtures during its assertion.

• Added 89 localized interface messages across all 25 shipped languages for agents, routines, model starring, Work file links, startup and OAuth errors, chat actions, uploads, settings, model operations, and portable archive import/export.
• Previously hardcoded toast messages now use the translation catalog, and portable archive parse failures expose stable error codes for localized validation.

• Container builds now refresh the runner stage without reusing stale OS-package layers, ensuring current Alpine and OpenSSL fixes reach security scans and published images.
• Refreshed AWS SDK, UUID, Framer Motion, i18next, Lucide, Mermaid, React i18next, Vite, and PostgreSQL type dependencies.
• Work Computer browser extensions are version-pinned and checksum-verified during image construction.

• Expanded the Work, Automations, and Notifications guides for hired agents, task-bound routines, unread state, Work notifications, content blocking, screenshot degradation, and Docker-published port routing.
• Updated model-management guidance for stars, the Defaults/Models split, bulk updates, and the current recommended model lineup.
• Refreshed the Work Computer screenshot and corrected documentation media metadata and demo links.

• The Work Computer. A policy switch gives tasks a virtual desktop (window manager, dock, and Chromium on a 1280×800 display) with a live Screen tab: VNC over WebSocket behind one-use task-bound tickets, up to four concurrent viewers, and a browser profile that survives restarts. Administrators enable it with one click; the GUI sandbox image is now published ready to pull, and deployments behind a build-denying Docker proxy install it with pull + tag. Ships with schema migrations (SQLite v22–v24 / PostgreSQL v21–v23).
• The agent drives it — with receipts. New computer_observe and computer_act tools give the model eyes and hands, and every action earns evidence: observations carry the active window, page URL, focused element, and a screenshot hash; typing can assert its target field and fails closed when focus drifted; batches fence themselves when a window, title, or context changes mid-batch; clicks report whether pixels near them changed; scroll_until scrolls toward target text and reports whether it became visible; batches declare expected outcomes the runtime verifies with an adaptive deadline; and repeated no-effect actions end the run asking for help instead of burning its budget.
• Take over the screen. A cooperative, TTL-bounded control lease hands you the mouse and keyboard through a dual-password VNC session — watchers stay input-inert, credentials go from your keyboard to the page and never through the model, and the agent's own request_takeover posts a banner and waits. Policies decide whether takeover is allowed at all.
• Teach it by demonstration. Record a task once on the real screen: the demonstration compiles deterministically into a natural-language playbook — click targets named by an element anchor probe, secret-looking input redacted, and an allowed scope derived from the sites the demonstration actually visited. Playbooks save as ordinary skills, load into computer-enabled runs automatically, and collect a worked/failed track record from one-click reviews on finished runs.
• Hear the computer. Live audio passthrough from the sandbox over a second authenticated bridge — same tickets, same access re-checks as the screen.
• Message the agent mid-run. Send a note while a run is executing; the agent picks it up at its next step without stopping.
• Automations can run Work tasks. A scheduled automation can now target a Work policy and deliver its run as a Work task instead of a chat.
• A replay benchmark for computer use. npm run bench:work-computer drives the real GUI image through adversarial browser fixtures and scores the runtime guards — the regression baseline for future loop changes.

• The agent's desktop is presentable: a branded start page in the product's own visual language, themed search, a dock with running apps and a clock, and wallpaper support.
• Loop telemetry: per-tool durations, rounds on every call, and a run-end summary of screenshots, fences, verdicts, and recovery nudges.
• The Work workspace pane gained the Screen view alongside Files, Activity, Changes, Terminal, and Preview.

• Containerized backends on Docker Desktop reach published Work ports through a dedicated dial address (WORK_DOCKER_PUBLISHED_HOST), fixing screens and previews on Windows and macOS container installs.
• Watching a screen no longer conflicts with the run that owns it in team deployments — and a run ending no longer stops a screen someone is watching.
• GUI containers no longer churn on every workspace refresh, and screen connections survive helper calls.
• Passkey sign-in accepts RS256 credentials, and the sign-in button hides when no accounts exist.
• The one-click Work Computer setup works in containerized installs and converges on an existing image behind filtered Docker proxies.
• Security hardening from two CodeQL passes, plus a migration-checksum false positive silenced without weakening the check.

• A complete Work Computer guide: screen, takeover, teach mode, audio, per-policy gating, and the agent's verified-action loop — with an embedded demo video of a real, unedited agent run.
• README, documentation landing page, environment reference, and the comparison page brought current with the release.

• Two-factor and passkeys. TOTP two-factor with one-time recovery codes, passkey (WebAuthn) sign-in, a per-role step-up policy administrators can require, and admin reset of a locked-out user's factors. Ships with a schema migration (SQLite v21 / PostgreSQL v20).
• Install it like an app. Libre WebUI is now an installable PWA with an offline shell, and notifications can reach your device through web push — riding the same durable notification inbox introduced in 0.26.
• Knowledge reads scans and audio. Images and scanned PDFs are OCR'd through the vision model, and uploaded audio is transcribed through speech-to-text, so screenshots, paper scans, and recordings become searchable, citable documents.
• Backups that prove they restore. Scheduled recovery drills restore a real backup into an isolated area on a cadence you set, verify the result, and measure actual RTO and RPO — so restore confidence is measured, not assumed.
• A split-screen artifact panel. On desktop, artifacts open beside the conversation instead of covering it, with a pin toggle that keeps the panel open while you chat, optional auto-open when a new artifact is generated, and compact chrome.
• Pure-black AMOLED theme. A true-black appearance mode alongside light and dark, with redesigned circular accent swatches.
• Night-owl code theme. Code blocks share one night-owl palette with line numbers across chat, thinking, and Work, rendered in a self-hosted JetBrains Mono — no external font requests.
• Live password strength meter. Setup, signup, and user management show strength and policy feedback as you type.

• The desktop app is now Libre WebUI Desktop. Renamed from "Libre WebUI Frontend" across installers and Homebrew: the old cask tokens migrate automatically on upgrade, installer assets use the new name from this release on, and existing installs keep their data and sessions through the rename.
• Your chosen accent color now carries through approval cards, Work panes, the git panel, and the terminal instead of falling back to the default coral.

• Tool egress timeout and size caps are clamped defensively, so a malformed valve value can no longer disable the limits.
• Artifact previews stay inside the sandboxed panel; the open-in-new-window escape hatch was removed.
• Split-view polish: the artifact panel stacks below modals, inline previews collapse while the panel is open, and the composer stays compact beside it.
• The compact sidebar rail no longer renders unreadable session chips.

• Completed the 0.26 guide set, including new observability and notes guides, a refreshed documentation landing page, and updates across Kubernetes, SSO, web search, and monitoring docs.
• Added a factual, sourced product comparison page.

• Models use tools, with your approval. A chat can now run multiple tool rounds inside a single reply: the model calls a tool, reads the result, and continues — through Ollama and every OpenAI-style provider. Each call is shown as it happens, and side-effecting tools wait for your explicit approval before they run.
• Bring your own tools. Register any OpenAPI service or MCP server as a tool source; its operations become tools the model can call, with per-user credentials and an egress guard between the model and your network. A safe public demo preset is included to try the flow end to end.
• Prompts, Skills, and Tools workspaces. Saved prompts open from a slash menu in the composer; skills are folders of instructions and companion files the model can load on demand — write your own, or import from remote skill stores. All three live in the settings panel with starter templates, beside the model manager.
• Knowledge tools with citations. The model can list and read your documents mid-conversation, and its answers cite the exact source passages they came from.

• Richer document ingestion. Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files extract with page, slide, and sheet provenance — with no new native dependencies — and re-uploading an unchanged file is detected instead of re-indexed.
• Hybrid retrieval. Keyword ranking (BM25) fuses with vector similarity, so exact identifiers and rare terms are found even when embeddings miss them. Because content stays encrypted at rest, ranking happens in memory over decrypted candidates the requester is allowed to see — there is deliberately no plaintext index on disk.
• Answers cite their sources. RAG replies carry source citations down to the page or slide, and a chat can attach a document in full-context mode when you want the model to read the whole thing.
• Notes grow up. Revision history with restore, file attachments, pinning, per-user sharing (view or edit), Markdown export, and an AI edit sidebar that previews every proposal as a diff — applying snapshots the previous version first, so any AI edit can be undone. The preview also renders inline SVG and basic HTML, sanitized.
• Queue prompts while a reply streams. Follow-up messages wait in an editable queue and send one at a time when the model finishes.
• Ask several models at once. A comparison fan-out sends the same message to additional models and labels each reply, so you can judge them side by side in the conversation.
• Fork a whole chat. Duplicate a conversation with its full history and provenance recorded, and take the copy in a different direction.
• Search everything from the palette. Cmd-K now searches across your chats, notes, and documents — scoped to what you can access, without a plaintext index.
• An OpenAI-compatible API. /v1/chat/completions and friends work with scoped API tokens, so existing OpenAI-style clients and SDKs can point at your instance for stateless inference.

• Channels. Public, private, and direct-message channels with threads, reactions, and file attachments — and @model mentions that bring an AI reply into the conversation under the asking member's identity. Delivery rides the same durable event ledger as everything else; the database rows are the truth.
• Share nearly anything. Grant-based sharing for chats, personas, prompts, skills, and knowledge collections, per user, with view or edit roles. Shared knowledge answers retrieval queries for grantees immediately, and revocation is just as immediate.
• A notification inbox. Durable in-app notifications with live delivery, plus signed outgoing webhooks so other systems can react to events — envelopes are redacted and retried sensibly.
• Calendars for more than one person. Share a calendar with view or write access, color-code several of them, import and export ICS, and get single-fire reminders per occurrence. The model gains calendar tools, so an automation or chat can read and write events.

• Hands-free voice mode. A turn-based voice conversation: speak, the model answers aloud, and the turn returns to you — with an on-screen overlay showing exactly what state the exchange is in.
• Voice governance. Administrators set access modes for speech-to-text, text-to-speech, voice mode, and voice cloning independently. Saved voices carry a consent lifecycle — consent is recorded, revocable (the receipt is kept), and every transfer of voice data to a provider is receipted.
• Edit images, not just generate them. Inpaint with a mask, edit with an instruction, or composite multiple images — through the same approval and gallery flow as generation.
• The gallery cleans up after itself. An optional retention sweep removes old generated media, and long-running media jobs notify you when they finish.

• Costs and budgets. Versioned per-model tariffs price real usage, a cost analytics view breaks spending down, and hard budgets stop generation when a period's limit is reached — with alert notifications on the way there.
• An evaluation platform. Thumbs feedback on replies, blind arena battles between models with an Elo leaderboard computed from votes, and repeatable evaluation runs over saved sets — all admin-managed.
• Observability you can plug in. Structured JSON logs with request correlation ids and secret redaction, and an opt-in OpenTelemetry export speaking OTLP/HTTP with zero new dependencies — spans cover HTTP requests and durable jobs.
• Certified high availability. The Helm chart supports referencing an existing Secret instead of inlining credentials, ships optional NetworkPolicies for app and workers, and the three-replica failover drill that gates releases is now documented as the HA certification.

• The Prompts, Skills, Tools, and Model Manager surfaces live inside the settings panel, reachable from the command palette.
• Every document picker shares one upload accept contract, so the accepted file types are identical everywhere and pinned by test.
• The frontend clears every react-hooks lint warning — imperative engines (like the voice controller) now live outside components by design.
• Schema migrations (SQLite v16–v20, PostgreSQL v15–v19) create the agents, notes, team, and media/enterprise tables; applied automatically on upgrade.

• Lexical retrieval stops admitting junk. A candidate must fully contain every part of at least one query word — compound identifiers no longer let two shared fragments smuggle an irrelevant chunk through rank fusion.
• The v18 migration applies cleanly on upgraded databases. A preflight check misread an index on a pre-existing table as missing schema and blocked the team migration.
• Composer menus tell the truth. Slash and skill menus work on the welcome screen, stay live while typing, and the tool picker reflects what is actually enabled.

• All new interface text across the agent, knowledge, team, voice, media, and operations surfaces — roughly 350 new keys — is translated in all 25 languages.

• New guides for tools and the tool gateway, skills, prompts, sharing, channels, notifications, team calendars, voice governance, image editing, costs and budgets, evaluations, observability, and the high-availability certification — plus worked examples for every tool, and honest boundary pages for what each system deliberately does not do yet.

• A personal calendar. Month and week views with one-off and recurring events — hourly through yearly. A recurring event is stored once and expanded server-side, so editing it updates every future occurrence. Titles and notes are encrypted at rest with the same envelope used for chats and notes.
• Automations: scheduled AI tasks. An automation runs your instructions on up to five triggers and delivers each run as a normal chat session — a daily digest or a weekly review lands in your chat list, ready to be opened and continued like any other conversation. Runs go through the same durable generation pipeline as every chat — provider routing, persona defaults, and web search when it is enabled — with pause and resume, run-now, starter templates, optional in-app notifications when a run finishes, and a run history that tells failures apart from runs that stalled. The scheduler ticks once a minute behind a coordination lease, so exactly one replica advances schedules and each occurrence fires at most once; a server that was down fires the missed occurrence once when it returns. Automations project their upcoming occurrences and finished runs onto the calendar, and both pages appear in Explore on the home screen.
• Web search plans its queries. A chat message is rarely a good search query, so the session's own model first turns it into a few keyword queries, plus an optional freshness window and engine category. Every failure along the way degrades to the plain raw-message search this replaces, never below it. The results-per-search ceiling rises to 100.
• A larger command palette. Cmd-K opens centered, with fuzzy matching and the matched characters highlighted.
• Pinnable admin shortcuts. Administrators can pin admin pages into the sidebar footer for one-click access.
• The About screen checks for updates. It compares the running version against the latest published release and says which of the two is ahead, and gains links to reopen the release notes and to star the project.
• Small comforts. The settings modal is larger, and a new chat shows a spinner in the sidebar while its title is being written.

• The sidebar and top bar share one continuous surface, text fields no longer draw a double frame when focused, the chat composer's icons align left like the new-chat composer's, and Work task rows use the same actions menu and hover preview as chats.
• A routing error now renders the branded error screen instead of a blank page.
• New schema migration on both backends (SQLite v15, PostgreSQL v14) creates the calendar and automations tables; applied automatically on upgrade.

• Editing a message now rewrites the conversation on the server. Edit-and-resend sent its truncation through a metadata update that silently ignores messages, so the server kept the entire replaced tail and the edit existed only in the browser. A dedicated truncate operation removes the cut messages for real, cancels any generation still writing into them, and keeps the prefix from the server's own copy so a stale client can never erase a newer reply.
• Personas answer with the model they are built on. A persona backed by a provider plugin now routes to that provider, its model default resolves to the persona's backing model, provider models are selectable as persona backends in the first place, and the home screen's continue list shows persona names.
• A failed regenerate cleans up after itself. The failed attempt is removed and the conversation resyncs with the server instead of drifting out of step.
• A stray h no longer opens settings. Single-letter navigation shortcuts require their modifier; the shortcuts help opens with ?.

• All new interface text — the calendar, automations, the palette, the About screen, and the admin pins — is translated in all 25 languages.

• New guides for the calendar and automations, and the quick start, pro tips, and keyboard shortcuts pages catch up with the palette, the admin pins, and the current shortcut set.

• A compaction can be refused, and undone. Every summary now records exactly which messages it replaced, and an undo on the summary card restores them and removes the summary — chained compactions walk back one at a time. The chat controls panel can switch compaction off for a single conversation while the server-wide policy stays on.
• The application knows which provider models reason. Model discovery keeps reasoning support beside each model's context window: the listing's own answer where one exists, a maintained name-family table where it does not. The thinking control is hidden for models known not to reason, and the setting is stripped before a request reaches one — the provider-side twin of the local capability gate. Unknown models stay offered, exactly as before.
• The meter measures the real window. With compaction on, the "recent messages kept" count is now also the rolling window a conversation sends, so raising it genuinely widens what the model sees — and a narrow context-policy endpoint lets the meter mirror that number instead of assuming the default.

• The context meter counts the prompt that is actually sent. It mirrors the server's message selection, so compacted history, abandoned branches, and turns outside the rolling window cost nothing — the ring no longer drifted upward without bound or rose after the very compaction that had just shrunk the prompt. The count anchors to the provider's last measured reply plus an estimate of what followed, instead of flipping between measured and estimated on every turn.
• Token estimates price text and images honestly. CJK characters count at roughly a token each rather than a quarter — a Japanese conversation no longer reads as a fraction of its real size — and images carry a flat per-image cost instead of counting as zero, identically on the server and in the meter. The compaction transcript notes attached images so a summary cannot silently erase that they existed.
• The summary reads as what it is. The compaction summary renders as a conversation-summary card at the point in the chat where the history was folded, and the summarized messages render dimmed: still readable, no longer sent. The card is not editable — its earlier edit path overwrote the global system prompt — and compacted turns no longer offer branch selection that would silently resurrect a message the summary already covers.
• The summarizer behaves like part of the product. Its transcript is bounded so it fits its own context window, template placeholders substitute literally, the conversation is framed as data rather than instructions, the session's provider binding travels with the call, pressing Stop reaches it, and its configuration is read from a short-lived cache instead of the database on every reply. The compaction configuration endpoint is admin-only in both directions, and a retried background generation reuses the first attempt's compaction instead of paying for another summarizer round trip.
• Anthropic requests respect each model's output ceiling. A thinking budget or an oversized token cap can no longer push max_tokens past what the model accepts; documented family ceilings bound both, and unknown families stay unclamped so a wrong guess can never truncate real replies. An explicit answer cap now shrinks the thinking budget into it rather than being silently raised.
• Reasoning renders wherever it was paid for. The Responses API asks for a reasoning summary so thinking is shown rather than only billed, Gemini requests thought summaries and routes them as reasoning with an output ceiling that holds the budget plus the answer, and Anthropic replies keep their thinking on the non-streaming path too.

• Replaced summaries stayed in every prompt forever. Deactivated system messages were still selected into the model context, so each compaction left one more stale summary riding along; they are now filtered exactly like deactivated conversation turns.
• Persona conversations lost the summary entirely. The persona prompt replaced all stored system messages, compaction summary included — pure context loss. The summary now survives beside the persona prompt, and the writers that update the leading system message can no longer overwrite a summary that happens to sit first.
• The keep-recent boundary kept fewer messages than configured. It extended forward to the next user turn and could summarize everything except the message just typed; it now extends backwards, so at least the configured count always survives, still starting on a user turn.
• A conversation on an unresolved model read as full. While the model list loaded — and for every agent conversation — the meter borrowed the 2,048-token application default and rendered a full amber ring; an unknown window now shows a dashed ring instead of a wrong one. Over budget shows red past the amber warning instead of being rounded down to exactly full, the ring is a real meter to screen readers, and token counts format in the reader's locale with bidi isolation.
• Gemini thinking could consume the entire reply. The thinking budget counted against an output ceiling that had not grown to hold it, so low effort on default settings returned empty replies at the token limit.
• Reset to defaults now clears a saved thinking level instead of leaving it behind while every other option reset.
• A named thinking level no longer errors on models without named levels. It degrades to plain "on", so a conversation that moves between models keeps working.
• The thinking control tells the truth everywhere. The composer button reflects the pinned or global default a conversation inherits, the chat controls panel shows the conversation's own choice with the inherited value named inside "Default", saving the panel no longer drops sibling session settings such as attached knowledge collections, and capability lookups stop firing for provider, persona, and still-loading models.
• The compaction settings toggle no longer lies. A rejected or invalid save leaves it in the server's state instead of visually flipped, and a failed configuration load says so instead of leaving the controls silently dead.

• All new interface text — the summary card, the restore action, and the per-conversation compaction control — is translated in all 25 languages.

• Set how hard a model thinks. A control in the composer opens the reasoning levels (off, on, low, medium, high) for the chat you are in, on the new chat screen as well, and the same setting lives in the chat controls panel and in Settings → Generation as a default for new replies. One value travels with the chat and is translated at each provider boundary: Ollama takes it in the request body, OpenAI-style providers take a reasoning effort, the Responses API takes its own field, and Anthropic and Gemini take a token budget with room reserved for the answer. Nothing is sent when the setting is unset, so a model you never configure behaves exactly as before, and a model Ollama reports as unable to reason is never asked to. (#205, Zack Young)
• See how full the context window is. A ring beside the model name fills as the conversation grows; hovering it reports how full, the tokens used, and the window they run against. The count is what the provider measured for the last reply where it reported one, and an estimate at four characters per token before that, marked as an estimate. A window capped below what the model was trained for says so, which is what explains a 32k reading on a model trained for 262k.
• Context windows for provider models. Model discovery now keeps the context window a provider publishes with its listing, reading whichever field that provider uses, so the meter has something to measure against on hosted models and not only on Ollama. Catalogs stored before this release are refreshed once instead of waiting out their refresh interval.
• Administrator model catalog. Settings → Models gains a searchable catalog where administrators choose which models everyone sees, the order they appear in, and the name and picture each one carries. Hiding a model applies immediately, dragging shows where it will land, and a default model can be set for the deployment.
• Long conversations compact themselves. Past a token threshold, older turns are replaced by a summary that carries the goals, decisions, facts, and open questions forward, keeping a long chat inside the model's window instead of failing at it. Administrators control the threshold, the model that writes the summary, and the prompt.
• Code blocks read like code while they stream. Line numbers and syntax highlighting now apply to a reply as it arrives, rather than only once it has finished.
• Model names and pictures in the chat. The picker and each assistant message show the model's configured name and picture. A reply that is still streaming has no model stamped on it yet, so it shows the chat's own model rather than the generic word Assistant.

• Titles and follow-up suggestions never spend a reasoning pass, whatever the chat is set to.
• The About screen names the mirror correctly as Forgejo and links to project sponsorship.
• The Vite configuration reads its own directory through import.meta, so builds no longer warn about an unsupported configuration feature.
• All new interface text is translated in all 25 languages.

• Reasoning models can name a chat. A model that thinks before answering spent its whole allowance on reasoning and returned empty content, so the chat fell back to a message preview for its title. Local models are asked not to reason for this, and providers that cannot be told that are given room to think and still answer.
• A long reply no longer fails its durable job and regenerates. Progress events carried the whole accumulated reply, so a long answer hit the durable event size ceiling and the interface responded by generating the same reply again. Completion events are bounded and oversized deltas are split across ordered events.
• Token counts and timings appear for provider-backed replies. Streams never asked for usage, so nothing was reported, and the timings llama.cpp returns beside the counts were dropped on the way through.
• Work rounds that only reason keep their context and finish. A round that produced reasoning and no visible text lost that context instead of completing with it.
• The workspace file list retries quietly while a sandbox is preparing. It used to report a failure for a sandbox that was simply not ready yet.
• Three interface render fixes: mount-time loaders no longer force a second synchronous render, a streaming code block no longer rebuilds and resets its scroll mid-stream, and the durable reload effect no longer misses a dependency.

• Dependencies refreshed across the workspace: @kubernetes/client-node 2.0 (a major upgrade, with the Work Kubernetes driver verified against it), framer-motion 13.1, katex 0.18.4, papaparse 5.6, zustand 5.0.15, tsx, and eslint-plugin-react-refresh, along with AWS SDK and TypeScript ESLint updates resolved in the lockfile.

• The first message on a new Work task no longer fails with "This Work task is active on another replica." Creating a task races the interface's file browser against the run itself: the file helper briefly holds the task's runtime lease while it prepares the sandbox, and the run used to give up instantly when it lost that race — killing the user's first prompt. The run now waits out transient lease holders (up to WORK_RUN_LEASE_WAIT_MS, default 60 seconds) before reporting a genuine replica conflict.
• Tab menus draw above page headers. The tab bar's right-click menu and the new-tab menu could render underneath the Work header and banners; both now render at the top of the page's stacking order.
• A WebSocket hiccup during sign-in can no longer break app loading. Signing in could kill a racing WebSocket connection attempt mid-handshake, and the resulting error aborted the entire post-login initialization — models and chats then failed to load. Superseded connection attempts are no longer treated as failures, sign-in re-dials atomically, and data loading proceeds even when the socket needs its own reconnect cycle.
• Work previews can capture the mouse. Previewed games and 3D scenes may now request pointer lock; it still requires a click and the preview keeps its isolated, opaque origin.
• Chat reconnects no longer compete with sign-in traffic for one rate limit. WebSocket tickets have their own rate bucket, and the general authentication bucket — which now also serves the session and API-key management screens — has room for real interactive use. Login and signup keep their strict limits.

• Sessions you can see and sign out. Every sign-in now creates a server-side session bound into its token. Settings → Sessions lists each device with its sign-in method and activity; revoking one (or "Sign out other sessions") invalidates that token immediately on every replica and closes its live chat and terminal connections. Logout now really signs the token out instead of only clearing the browser.
• Scoped API keys. Settings → API keys mints personal tokens for scripts and integrations. Each key carries an explicit scope list (chat, models, documents, notes, personas, media, work, admin), is shown once and stored only as a hash, supports expiry, tracks last use, is rate-limited per key, and can be revoked at any time. A notes-only key cannot touch chats or administration, and session management is never reachable with a key.
• Groups. Administrators can create groups and manage memberships from the User Management page. Membership is evaluated live, so removing someone revokes group-granted access immediately. A new "effective access" view answers "why can this account access this?" — role, groups, feature access, and every grant that reaches the user.
• Resource sharing grants (foundation). One private-by-default grant model for chats, notes, documents, knowledge collections, folders, and personas: owners can grant read, write, or admin access to a user or a group through the new access API, and group-shared retrieval is plumbed all the way into vector search. Every access decision now flows through a single authorization service — the global admin role deliberately grants no access to other people's content. Sharing UI arrives in a later release; the machinery and API ship now.
• Sign in with any OpenID Connect provider. Keycloak, Authentik, Authelia, Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace, and friends — configured with three environment variables. The flow uses PKCE, CSRF state, and a nonce verified inside the signature-checked ID token; identities link on the stable subject claim, so a renamed provider account keeps its Libre account. Optional policies: allowed email domains, admin-role mapping from a group claim, and per-login group membership sync.
• Security audit log. Sign-ins and failures, logouts, session and key revocations, and user, group, and grant changes are recorded in an append-only log that is separate from usage analytics. Details are redacted before storage — secrets and prompt content can never enter the log — and group/grant changes commit in the same database transaction as their audit event, so a change cannot exist without its trail. Administrators query it from the User Management page; retention defaults to 180 days.

• Work, model download, web search, and agent access checks now flow through the same central authorization service as resource grants, with unchanged semantics.
• New schema migration on both backends (SQLite v14, PostgreSQL v13) creates the seven trust-foundation tables; applied automatically on upgrade.
• All new interface text is translated in all 25 languages.

• A long Work response no longer crashes the server. Work streamed each progress event with the full accumulated reply attached, so once a response passed 64 KiB the durable event log rejected the payload — and the unhandled rejection killed the process. Durable copies of delta events now carry only the delta, oversized payloads are bounded instead of rejected, and a durable append failure can never take a running task down — live viewers keep receiving events either way.
• Work's Files pane works during runs on team deployments. While the external worker was executing a task, the app replica could not acquire the task's runtime lease and answered file browsing with "This Work task is active on another replica." File helpers now attach to the running sandbox when the lease holder is the deployment's own worker.

• Authentication, single sign-on, and environment variable docs cover sessions, API keys, groups, grants, the audit log, and the full OIDC configuration reference.

• Signing in no longer requires a page refresh. On deployments with authentication, the app initialized once before login, marked itself done, and never loaded models, sessions, or plugins after the login landed — leaving an empty interface until a manual reload. Initialization now runs again the moment authentication completes.
• Providers that start late appear without a reload. If Ollama or the backend was still starting when the page loaded, the model list stayed empty forever. The app now quietly re-checks until a provider shows up, and re-checks a previously offline Ollama when the window regains focus — without polling forever on deliberately plugin-only setups.
• Upgrades no longer fail on legacy key file permissions. Installations whose .encryption_key was created by an older release carried default file permissions, and 0.22.0's hardened startup refused them outright — every such npx, npm, source, and Docker upgrade crashed on boot. Startup now tightens the key file to owner-only permissions in place when it is a regular, single-link file owned by the server user; symlinks, multi-link files, and files owned by someone else still fail closed. Startup errors also name the actual problem now instead of a generic line.
• Brand-new provider models work as soon as the provider ships them. Chatting with a model a provider had just released could fail with a generic error: the model picker shows the provider's live catalog, but the request resolved against the stored one. A missed lookup now refreshes a due catalog once before rejecting, which also covers team deployments where the external worker only sees the stored catalog.
• Failed generations keep their real reason. A crashed chat generation logged nothing anywhere — the durable job record kept only a sanitized summary. The worker now logs the underlying error before sanitizing, so a dead-lettered generation can actually be diagnosed.

• The jobs API is rate limited. The durable jobs endpoints gained the same per-user shared rate limit as every other API surface.
• Plugin upload cleanup hardened. Temporary-file deletion now rebuilds its target from a validated relative path — the canonical containment pattern — instead of checking and deleting the incoming path.

• Team deployments. A shared team profile brings PostgreSQL persistence, S3-compatible encrypted blob storage, PGVector document search, Redis coordination, and external durable job workers — with a ready-made Docker Compose stack and a Helm worker deployment. A packaged CLI migrates an existing SQLite database to PostgreSQL. Solo stays local-first on SQLite with an embedded worker; startup refuses mixed or half-configured profiles instead of silently splitting state. See the Platform Foundation guide.
• Durable chat and media generation. Generations now run as durable jobs with a replayable event stream: workers run concurrently, responses are recorded as they stream, Stop actually cancels the upstream provider request instead of letting it burn tokens, and accepted media jobs recover after a crash instead of vanishing. Old streams are pruned on a retention schedule.
• Speech to text. A microphone button in Chat transcribes voice into the composer. The browser's own speech recognition is used by default when available; otherwise recordings go to a configured provider with a speech-to-text capability, with explicit disclosure of where the audio is sent.
• Voice cloning and natural speech playback. LongCat AudioDiT joins as a local text-to-speech provider (a ready-to-run example server is included) with consent-based voice cloning: a reference recording plus its exact transcript, entered in Imagine → Audio. Cloned voices can be saved as encrypted, owner-bound profiles and reused for Speech playback anywhere. Playback itself got natural: phrase-aware batches generate through a look-ahead window and play in order, so speech starts before the full reply is finished.
• Data portability. Settings → Data Management exports a versioned per-user archive of your data and imports it into any Libre WebUI installation. Exports are verifiable and restorable — not a dump that only looks complete — and deleting a user account now sweeps every store the account touched.
• Backup and recovery tooling. A read-only recovery inventory reports what state exists and what would block a snapshot, and packaged maintenance commands produce signed, verifiable backups and restore them — for solo and team deployments alike. See Recovery Readiness.

• Interface redesign. The sidebar collapses to an icon rail with elevated New Chat and Work actions, Settings moved into a redesigned window with a searchable navigation rail, and both Chat and Work got a floating two-row composer. The whole app sits on a refreshed neutral palette with layered surfaces and an adaptive accent.
• Security hardening. Real-time connections authenticate with short-lived one-use tickets instead of query-string tokens, AES-GCM decryption enforces explicit authentication-tag lengths, the runtime Docker image no longer carries build-only npm tooling, replicas share coordinated rate limits, and a new Security workflow gates every push with static analysis.
• Health probes. Dependency-aware liveness and readiness endpoints report the actual state of the database, storage, and coordination backends, so orchestrators restart the right thing.
• Capability contracts. Every provider capability is now inventoried in a generated, test-enforced contract: schema, handler, client, UI action, documentation, and tests must agree before a capability counts as shipped.
• Private deployments upgrade deliberately. The app container is excluded from unattended replacement; upgrades are digest-pinned and manual, taken from a verified recovery point.
• Notes are readable first. Existing notes open in a read-only preview instead of the editor, and Markdown tables render as real tables across notes and chat instead of raw pipe-delimited text.
• Helm grew up with the platform. The chart validates its values against a published schema, deploys the external durable worker for team mode, and supports suspending a deployment by scaling it to zero.
• TypeScript 7. The whole project moved to the new toolchain.

• Discovered OpenAI-compatible models failed at request time. Model discovery accepted API roots while Chat sent them as complete operation URLs, so every discovered model 404ed unhelpfully. Standard roots are now composed with the correct path, custom operation URLs stay exact, and explicit plugin targets skip Ollama metadata probes.
• Settings survived malformed provider data. Image model and configuration discovery is awaited before responses serialize, and malformed model or plugin payloads are treated as empty collections instead of breaking the Settings page.
• Speech playback no longer stalls on autoplay policies. Audio output is unlocked before synthesis starts, so the first spoken reply plays instead of waiting for another click.

• Six new guides: Platform Foundation, Data Portability, Speech to Text, Recovery Readiness, LongCat AudioDiT, and the generated Capability Contracts inventory.

• Chat context documents are now visible and removable. The docs chip above the message box opens a panel listing every document in the conversation's context — the chat's own uploads plus standing documents that join every chat — each with its size, scope, and a remove control. Settings → Documents gained the same power: an always-visible document library with per-document delete and collection assignment. All new interface strings ship in all 25 languages.

• Collection management got honest feedback. Deleting a collection now uses an in-app confirmation instead of the browser dialog, which some environments silently suppress, and create, delete, and assignment failures surface as toasts instead of doing nothing. The assignment dropdown also reflects a document's saved collection now — the list API previously omitted it.
• Complete social preview metadata. The app shell now ships full Open Graph and social card tags, so shared links to a deployed instance preview richly everywhere.

• Failed model pulls no longer report success. Ollama reports pull failures as an error line inside a successful-looking stream, and the backend treated any stream end as completion — so a typo'd model name showed "pulled successfully" while installing nothing. Pull errors now surface with Ollama's real reason, and an interrupted download is reported as interrupted instead of complete.
• Chat titles no longer leak model thinking. Reasoning models could turn every session title into "The user wants a very short, ..." — their deliberation instead of a title. The title prompt now forbids thinking out loud, and the sanitizer strips tagged think blocks and rejects reasoning-shaped output, falling back to the message preview.

• An IDE-grade diff manager in Work's Git tab. Opening the tab now shows every changed file as a rendered diff: line numbers, per-file and total +/− counts, colored status letters, a filename filter, and dividers for skipped unchanged regions. Folded context in the turn diff expands in place, and untracked files display as fully added instead of hiding until staged.

• The desktop app moved to its own repository. This repo no longer carries the Electron shell, its build tooling, or 149 packages of its dependency tree. Releases here dispatch the desktop repository, which builds the installers and uploads them onto the same GitHub release, so download links and the Homebrew cask are unchanged.
• End-to-end tests for pinned folders and chat drag-and-drop. Sidebar foldering now has real browser coverage, including drag-and-drop moves. (#194, Rohit Babu)

• Work with Ollama failed with a 400 on the second message. Replaying the first turn's tool calls sent their arguments as JSON strings, the shape every OpenAI-compatible provider expects, but Ollama's native API requires objects and rejected the request. The Ollama transport now converts arguments at the protocol boundary. Streamed error responses are also read and parsed now, so an Ollama failure surfaces its real reason instead of "Request failed with status code 400".
• Chat toasts now speak your language. A batch of hardcoded English toast messages went through translations instead. (#192, Rohit Babu)
• The app shell's social metadata caught up with the product. Stale page description replaced and Open Graph tags added, so links to a deployed instance preview correctly.

• Reverse-proxy WebSocket guidance. Why chat streams fail behind nginx or Caddy and the exact upgrade, origin, and timeout settings that fix it, verified against the source. (#195, ColumbusLabs)
• The desktop app guide is now user-facing. Install per platform, approve the ad-hoc-signed macOS build, and connect to a local or remote server; build-from-source instructions left with the code.

First release with outside contributions. Thank you Rohit Babu for the toast i18n fix and the Playwright e2e suite, and ColumbusLabs for the reverse-proxy WebSocket documentation. Both are in [CONTRIBUTORS.md](CONTRIBUTORS.md) now.

• A one-time note on first start. The very first backend boot prints a single line asking for a GitHub star if the project is useful. It never repeats (the flag persists in the local database), and nothing is transmitted anywhere.

• npx libre-webui returned 500 on every page except the home screen. npx runs the package from ~/.npm/_npx, and the SPA fallback passed an absolute path containing that dot-directory to sendFile, which rejects dot-segments by design. Deep links — including the automatic redirect to /login — failed on every npx install. The fallback now resolves index.html against the frontend root, and a packaging test boots the packed tarball from a dot-directory and asserts deep links serve the app. Global (npm i -g), Docker, and desktop installs were never affected.
• Search URL normalization no longer uses a backtracking regex. The admin-supplied SearXNG URL had its trailing slashes stripped with an end-anchored regex that backtracks polynomially on a long run of slashes (flagged by CodeQL); it is now a simple character scan.

• CONTRIBUTING.md. Setup, project layout, PR expectations (25-locale key parity, license headers), and where to start — paired with a first set of good first issue tickets.

• Self-hosted web search through SearXNG. Administrators configure the engine in Settings > Search (URL, enable, live connection test, results per search 1-10, safe search). Chat gains a composer globe: results are injected as context before generation, so every model benefits — including small local models without tool calling — and replies show numbered source chips. Work tasks with network access gain a web_search tool whose result count is capped by the admin ceiling. The private deploy stack bundles an internal-only SearXNG service, and SEARXNG_URL pre-fills the endpoint.
• Sources and documents panel. Conversations show their evidence: every web source the replies drew on and every document retrieval used, plus the documents attached to the chat. A flat right rail on wide screens, a bottom sheet behind a compact trigger on smaller ones; per-message source chips persist across reloads.
• Pinned chats and a session context menu. Every sidebar chat gets a "..." menu — open in new tab, rename, pin, move to folder, archive, delete. Pinned chats sit in a Pinned group at the top and survive reloads.
• Drag and drop chats into folders. Drag a chat onto a folder header to file it, or onto a date-group label to take it back out.
• Message avatars in Chat. Assistant replies carry the Libre mark (or the persona's avatar); user messages show the account avatar — matching the Work conversation.
• Welcome-screen parity. The first-message composer gains the web search toggle and document attach (PDF/TXT/MD), so search and retrieval work from the very first message of a new chat.
• Access controls for model downloads, web search, and agents. User Management gains three cards beside Work access: Model downloads (open Ollama pulls and the Hugging Face browser to all users; administrators always can), Web search (same shape), and Agents (enable the Agents section, off by default). Each is a persisted mode enforced server-side on every request path and failing closed to admins-only.

• Work policy editing rejects garbage numeric input instead of silently clearing limits, stores CPU limits normalized, anchors policy image references to a registry charset so nothing flag-shaped can reach the container runtime, bounds memory (6m-1024g) and workspace (up to 16Ti) magnitudes, and no longer rounds sub-minute idle timeouts in the edit form.
• Work access changes reach live sessions without a re-login: the interface re-checks on window focus and when a Work call is rejected.
• The System page Work panel shows its error with a retry instead of disappearing, reports zero terminal sessions as 0, and open clients converge after an idle-stopped preview.
• The Work task-actions menu renders above the workspace panes instead of hiding behind them.
• The Work policy picker refreshes when returning to the landing view and clears stale selections.
• Cleared every React set-state-in-effect lint warning; npm run lint is silent again.

• Document retrieval (RAG) repaired across all chat paths. The chat WebSocket path now honors attached knowledge collections exactly like the REST API; user-scoped uploads join every chat's searchable scope; documents whose chunks were never embedded surface through keyword scoring instead of staying permanently invisible (the "only my first document is used" failure); and keyword search takes over when nothing clears the similarity threshold.
• Work agents keep their tool history across runs. Chat-completions providers now persist tool calls for cross-run replay, so a follow-up run sees what was already built instead of re-reading every file; reasoning-only rounds are nudged back to work instead of silently ending the run; and the empty-response placeholder no longer re-enters model context.
• Added 68 translation keys that the interface referenced but no locale defined — command palette, tab strip, Work Git panel, model selector states, and the host workspace form — with real translations in all 25 languages.

• The bundled SearXNG service is internal-only (never published to the host), runs with dropped capabilities and no-new-privileges, and search queries execute server-side with bounded result text and http(s)-only result URLs.
• Individual model pulls moved from hard-coded admin-only to a fail-closed persisted mode; every other model lifecycle operation remains strictly admin-only.

• New Web Search guide: setup with the bundled stack or any SearXNG instance, privacy and scope notes, troubleshooting.
• Agent CLI documentation updated for the disabled-by-default toggle and the tri-state AGENT_CLI_MODELS_ENABLED.
• Private deployment guide covers the SearXNG service and SEARXNG_SECRET; the environment reference gains SEARXNG_URL.

• Named runtime policies. Admins can define named presets (image, memory/CPU/PID limits, workspace size, idle timeout, network default) from the User Management page and users pick one at task creation on the Work landing page. Policies are managed through GET/POST/PUT/DELETE /api/work/policies (reads open to Work users for the picker, mutations admin-only). Empty policy fields inherit the global runtime config, and the hardening profile (non-root, read-only rootfs, dropped capabilities, network isolation) is deliberately not a policy field, so a policy can never weaken the sandbox. Deleting a policy clears task references so those tasks fall back to global defaults on next recreation, and the per-task fingerprint means changing a policy recreates exactly the sandboxes running under it.
• Idle-stop for unwatched sandboxes. A new WORK_RUNTIME_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS setting (default 0, off; also settable per policy) stops a running sandbox after a period of inactivity. Activity is a finished command, a terminal session ending, or an authorized request through the signed preview proxy. The sweep skips busy tasks (active command, attached terminal, running operation) while refreshing their clock, starts a first-seen sandbox's clock at the sighting, and stops idle previews through the real preview-stop path so admission leases release and task state updates. The workspace persists, so an idled preview simply restarts on next use. The private deployment stack now defaults this to 30 minutes.
• Admin overview of every sandbox. The System page gains a Work panel backed by GET /api/work/admin/overview: task inventory with owners across all users, live runtime state from one labeled listing, terminal session counts, preview state, admission headroom, pending recovery cleanups, orphaned containers, and the access mode, refreshing every 30 seconds. The endpoint is registered before the fail-closed gate so it stays readable exactly when administrators need it most, and per-task state degrades to "unknown" instead of failing when the runtime is unreachable.
• Per-user access control. Work remains admins-only by default, but a new persisted access mode (User Management page, GET/PUT /api/work/access) lets administrators open Work to all active users. Every check reads current database state, so mode flips or demotions take effect immediately across routes, terminal WebSockets, and in-flight runtime mutations. Host-folder workspaces remain admin-only in every mode because they bind-mount server paths.
• Kubernetes runtime backend (experimental). Setting WORK_RUNTIME_BACKEND=kubernetes runs Work sandboxes as Pods in a namespace with PVC-backed workspaces (a real per-task disk quota), on-demand Pods with the full hardening profile, exec transport for files/commands/git, and label-driven startup reconciliation. No Docker daemon or socket is involved. Configured through WORK_K8S_NAMESPACE, WORK_K8S_STORAGE_CLASS, WORK_K8S_WORKSPACE_SIZE, WORK_K8S_POD_READY_TIMEOUT_MS, and WORK_K8S_POD_GONE_TIMEOUT_MS; verified end to end on a kind cluster in CI under the exact namespace-scoped RBAC the Helm chart grants.
• Terminal and preview on Kubernetes. Interactive terminals ride the exec subresource as a TTY WebSocket with resize support. Preview targets the sandbox Pod IP, with the driver reporting a full endpoint (host + port) and the signed preview proxy accepting a per-task upstream host.
• Work sandboxes via Helm. The Helm chart supports work.enabled=true to switch the backend to the Kubernetes runtime, creating the sandbox namespace, a namespace-scoped Role/RoleBinding, and NetworkPolicies (default-deny, ingress from the backend on the preview port, egress for networked sandboxes minus private and cloud-metadata ranges).
• Socket-isolated deployment. Work no longer requires the raw Docker socket in the app container. Terminal and diagnostics speak the Engine API over a plain-HTTP tcp:// DOCKER_HOST, allowing a filtered socket proxy to hold the socket. Ships docker-compose.socket-proxy.yml with only the API sections Work uses enabled.
• Startup container reconciliation. Startup recovery now asks Docker once which managed containers exist and acts only on those: running containers of known tasks are stopped, exited ones are left alone, and labeled containers whose task row is gone are force-removed. Boot cost follows what is actually running instead of the task count.
• Wider Turnstile, login footer links, npx @latest. The verification widget takes the width of its block instead of a fixed 300px card. The login page's left panel links the website, docs, and kroonen.ai. Install commands now say npx libre-webui@latest so a cached older version is never started.

• Runtime driver seam for pluggable backends. Docker CLI calls, Engine API terminal transport, and resource ownership verification move behind a WorkRuntimeDriver interface with DockerWorkRuntimeDriver as the default implementation. The runtime service retains all policy decisions (admission, leases, lifecycle locks, recovery bookkeeping, budgets) with zero behavior change.

• Runtime driver split follow-ups. Armed the Kubernetes exec timeout before WebSocket connects, gave the Kubernetes exec failure path its own WORK_COMMAND_FAILED code, retry the empty-inventory startup sweep for a bounded window (5 min) for late-starting socket proxies, report orphaned workspace PVCs during reconciliation, clear the preview proxy's per-task upstream host on stop/removal, accept Docker's two-letter memory suffixes in Kubernetes quantity translation, and block 100.64.0.0/10 by default in sandbox egress policy.
• Over-long proxy bridge name. The custom bridge name lwui-dockerproxy exceeded Linux's 15-character interface name limit, causing docker compose up to fail. The name was cosmetic and is now auto-assigned by Docker.
• E2e probe output retrieval. kubectl run --rm -i could miss the output of fast wget commands. The probe now creates the pod, polls for a terminal phase, reads kubectl logs, then deletes — deterministic on any runner.

• Remediated npm security advisories for nanoid.
• Added @kubernetes/client-node for the Kubernetes runtime backend; it is loaded lazily so Docker-backed deployments never pay for it at startup.
• Sandbox egress NetworkPolicies now also block 100.64.0.0/10 by default, covering managed clusters that use the CGNAT range for pod and service networks.

• Documented the idle-stop default for the private stack.
• Added socket-proxy Work override guidance for the private deployment stack, including a new docker-compose.work-proxy.yml overlay that puts a filtered socket proxy on an internal-only network.
• Added a planning document for the Kubernetes runtime driver.

• The desktop app opens on a landing page. The horizon film plays through once and settles on its still. Get Started asks where the server runs: on this machine, with a live check that hands over the Docker command and continues by itself as soon as the server answers — or on another server, reached by its address and remembered for the next launch. Switch Server in the app menu brings the page back, and the app's static pages now carry a strict content security policy.

• npx libre-webui starts again. The command installs only the package's own dependency list, and three packages the backend needs at runtime — parse5, ipaddr.js and undici — were declared by the backend workspace alone, so the server crashed the moment it booted. They ship with the package now, and a packaging test walks every import in the built backend against the published dependency list so this cannot happen quietly again.

• The Generation tab in Settings reaches the shared values again. It saved to whichever model the chat happened to be on — and a model is always selected — so the values every other model falls back to could not be changed from the interface at all. The tab now says what it writes to: it defaults to the values every model shares, and pins to a single model only when that is chosen explicitly.
• A context size of -1 is never sent to Ollama. Settings saved while a hosted model was selected can carry num_ctx: -1, which hosted backends ignore but a local model would take as a real context size. There is no "unlimited" sentinel for the context window, so a non-positive value is dropped before the call.

• The repository landing page takes its layout from the documentation site.

• Ollama models run with the settings they recommend for themselves. The modelfile's parameters and the context length the model was trained for are read from the model and applied, instead of one fixed set of options used for every model.
• Generation settings are stored per model. Changing a value pins it for that model alone, and resetting returns it to what the model recommends.
• Chat controls can be opened before a chat exists. The system prompt and sampling chosen on the welcome screen are carried onto the session the first message creates.
• Keyboard shortcuts have their own tab in Settings, which ? opens directly. The floating button and its dialog are gone, and the list now covers the command palette, new chats and Work sessions, message editing and the Work code editor — none of which the old dialog mentioned.

• Chat controls show the value a message will actually run with, mark the ones that came from the model, and say so when a context window was capped to keep the model loadable.
• The Work landing screen sits in the same ambient glow as the chat welcome screen, so the two read as one surface.

• A value pinned for one model is no longer overridden on every request. Each message carried the application-wide generation options with it, and options sent with a request are the server's final word, so a model pinned to a longer output still stopped at the global limit. A message now carries only that chat's own overrides; the server applies the global settings, then what the model recommends, then what was pinned for it.
• A model no longer runs with a 2048-token context regardless of what it supports. The application sent that value explicitly, which overrode the model's own window and silently truncated anything longer — a model trained for 8k or 128k was capped at 2048. Adopted context is limited to 32768 by default so a very large window cannot stop the model loading; raise it with OLLAMA_MAX_CONTEXT.
• Stop sequences declared by a model are now sent with the request. Without them a model can carry on past the end of its turn.
• A model pulled from Ollama or HuggingFace can be selected straight away. Installing a model refreshed only the manager's own list, so the chat model picker kept showing the old one until the whole application was reloaded.
• Everything on the message bar sits on one centre line. The buttons, the model selector and the text row were three different heights, and an inline text area left a phantom line box under it, so the controls sat low against the text. On narrow screens the bar also grew before anything had been typed, because a wrapped placeholder counted towards the text area's height.

• The js-yaml advisory (CVE-2026-59870) is remediated with a 4.3.1 override.

• The README screenshot is the current release, taken from the desktop application.

• React artifacts are compiled and mounted in the preview. JSX and TSX are transpiled in place, Tailwind utilities are generated from the markup, and the component mounts against a single shared React instance.
• Mermaid artifacts are drawn as diagrams instead of shown as source, themed with the application.
• Artifacts have a vendored library set: React and ReactDOM, Recharts, Chart.js, Plotly, D3, Three.js with its controls, loaders, environments, post-processing and exporters, Lucide icons, Lodash, MathJS, Papa Parse, Tone.js, Framer Motion and Mermaid.
• Generated HTML that loads a library from a CDN keeps working: the tag is replaced by the vendored build in the same document position, so inline scripts still find Chart, d3 or THREE when they run.
• An artifact that asks for a library outside that set is told so in the preview, naming the file, rather than failing silently.
• The Li mark is used across application icons, the loading screen, the sidebar, the agent avatar and the login, signup and first-run screens.

• The artifact sandbox makes no network request of any kind. The page loads the runtime with its own session and inlines it into the preview, which keeps artifacts working behind Cloudflare Access, Authelia or oauth2-proxy, where a sandboxed frame's cookie-less request comes back as a login redirect.
• The sandbox policy names no origin at all: default-src 'none', script limited to inline and eval, and a frame without allow-same-origin, so an artifact runs on an opaque origin with no access to the application's cookies, storage or DOM.
• Artifacts get in-memory stand-ins for localStorage, sessionStorage and document.cookie, which throw on an opaque origin and would otherwise stop the artifact dead.
• Generated markup is parsed rather than pattern-matched, so documents without a <head>, end tags carrying attributes, and <header> elements are all handled correctly.
• Inter is vendored into the build and served by the application, so no page load contacts a font host; the font CDN is gone from the Content Security Policy, and artifacts linking Google Fonts get the local face instead.
• The theme script in index.html is allowed by hash rather than by opening the policy, so a saved theme applies before first paint without a dark flash.

• HTML artifacts render again. Previews were composed with srcdoc, which inherits the page's Content Security Policy, so every inline script an artifact contained was blocked in production.
• Runtime bundles are keyed to the build that produced them, so a browser cannot keep using a copy from an earlier release against newer application code.
• Three.js scenes get the addons they import, including environments, the CSS and SVG renderers, math helpers and exporters; a bundle is also inlined at most once, so Three is never loaded twice.
• Mermaid diagrams and CommonJS libraries resolve to their real exports rather than an empty namespace.
• Import maps and inline module scripts resolve from the local runtime, and TypeScript in a text/babel script compiles instead of failing on the first interface.
• The favicon is the same opaque tile as the documentation site, so it stays legible on a light browser tab.

• Artifact code is embedded as data with every < escaped, so it cannot end the element it travels in. Reported by CodeQL as incomplete sanitization, along with a script end-tag pattern that missed </script foo>; both are fixed rather than dismissed.
• Removed SheetJS from the vendored set. The npm package carries a high-severity prototype pollution and ReDoS advisory with no fix available, which is a poor trade inside a sandbox that runs generated code. Papa Parse still covers delimited data.

• The artifacts guide describes the runtime, the library set, what happens to CDN references, and why the sandbox has no network access.

• Added optional haptic feedback on supported Android browsers, with distinct patterns for selection, impact, success, and warning actions and a translated Appearance setting to turn it off.

• Reworked the expanded mobile sidebar to use the available screen width and collapse into a readable recent-chat or Work-task rail with clear active state, labels, counts, and one-tap expansion.
• Replaced hover-dependent conversation actions with a touch-friendly mobile action sheet, kept conversation titles readable, and synchronized the active item with the route as soon as navigation begins.
• Improved the mobile Notes workspace with clearer editor and preview controls, responsive content sizing, and safer behavior when switching notes.
• Kept the new-tab menu inside the visible application area on narrow screens and added Notes to its destinations.

• Streamed OpenAI-compatible reasoning_content, reasoning, and structured reasoning_details as a live thinking block instead of revealing them only after the answer completes. Reasoning is persisted, restored across branches, and timed independently from answer generation.
• Kept -dev visible on development images across Home, Login, Settings, and backend version APIs by using the injected build version consistently in both frontend and runtime package metadata.
• Stabilized the browser E2E environment around development-version labels and the compact mobile Work surface so the full quality gate reflects the UI's intended overlay behavior.

• Copy the backend workspace's production node_modules tree into the final Docker image alongside the root dependency tree, and add regression coverage for non-hoisted backend packages.

• Knowledge collections. Create reusable document collections in Settings, assign existing or newly uploaded documents to them, and attach an entire collection to a conversation as one context source.
• Standalone notes. A dedicated Notes page supports creating, editing, deleting, searching, and previewing encrypted-at-rest Markdown notes.
• Chat folders. Create, rename, collapse, and delete sidebar folders; move conversations between them or return a conversation to the unfiled list.
• Per-chat controls. Override the system prompt, temperature, top-p, top-k, min-p, maximum tokens, repeat penalty, seed, and context length for an individual conversation, with reset controls and persisted session state.
• Expanded attachment menu. Reuse an existing document, upload a new file, attach a knowledge collection, or fetch a public webpage into chat context.
• Voice dictation. Browsers with the Web Speech API can transcribe speech directly into the message composer while preserving already typed text.
• Follow-up suggestions. After a completed assistant response, Libre WebUI can generate short, clickable suggestions for the user's next message.
• Editable conversations and ratings. Edit and resend a previous user message from that point in the conversation, and record a positive or negative rating on assistant responses.
• Richer code blocks. Long code blocks start collapsed and can be expanded, downloaded with a language-aware filename, or opened in the artifact preview when the language supports it.
• Artifact history. Navigate earlier and later versions of an artifact from the slide-out panel without leaving the conversation.
• Reasoning duration. Thinking blocks show elapsed reasoning time during generation and retain the final duration with the saved response.
• Conversation navigation. The sidebar groups chats by date, adds archiving, and shows conversation previews on hover; settings navigation is searchable.
• What's New dialog. A version-aware modal summarizes newly installed features once after an upgrade and records the version locally when dismissed.
• OpenCode and Pi agents. The Agents group detects opencode and pi alongside Claude Code and Codex. Pi runs statelessly with tools disabled and a neutral system prompt so chats do not use the server user's Pi configuration.
• Explicit agent model selection. Claude Code offers its default, Sonnet, Opus, and Haiku choices; Codex exposes its documented ChatGPT-sign-in models; OpenCode discovers provider models and requires an explicit selection instead of inheriting a possibly unreachable CLI default.
• Codex through ChatGPT sign-in. The bundled administrator-only Codex provider reuses the server's codex login session for chat and sandboxed Work tasks. The CLI's OAuth client refreshes tokens, credentials never enter task containers, and administrators can disable the integration with CODEX_OAUTH_MODELS_ENABLED=false.
• Full-year usage activity. The administrator Usage page adds a responsive contribution-style calendar for the trailing year, per-day tooltips and call totals, top-model coloring, an intensity scale, and a ranked model legend designed to remain distinguishable in both themes.
• Ollama and agent metering. Local Ollama calls now contribute prompt and completion token counts, while agent CLI turns contribute usage events, so the activity calendar and model tables cover local, plugin, and agent chats.

• New interface strings for notes, folders, controls, attachments, dictation, usage, and related states are included across all 25 shipped locales.
• Added database indexes for per-user notes and session folders and enforced clear storage policies: at most 100 notes and 100 folders per user, 200 characters per note title, 200,000 characters per note, and 120 characters per folder name.
• Upgraded both application workspaces to TypeScript 7 while keeping ESLint on an isolated compatible TypeScript compiler; expanded toolchain regression tests prevent the two compiler paths from drifting.
• Added focused regression suites for webpage fetching, HTML artifacts, OAuth, registration, password handling, public deployment defaults, content limits, agent chats, Codex OAuth, and usage analytics.
• Refined the project and Helm descriptions and keywords around Libre WebUI's local-first chat, private knowledge, artifact, agent, and Work capabilities.

• Agent chat selection now retains provider identity. Starting a chat with an agent, or switching an existing chat to one, no longer fails after the model selector drops the agent provider metadata.
• Work model selection excludes agent CLI entries. Agent pseudo-models stay in chat's Agents group instead of appearing as unusable Work provider models.
• Codex streaming handles every supported caller path. Responses streams without a content-type are recognized, non-streaming callers receive an aggregated result, and accumulated output is retained when a terminal event carries no final text.
• Refactored What's New initialization and document-list loading so the frontend passes the current React effect and Fast Refresh lint rules without warnings.

• Registration is closed by default after bootstrap. A fresh database still permits exactly one local administrator, while every later local or OAuth registration requires ENABLE_SIGNUP=true and still enters the existing approval flow.
• Password policy is enforced server-side and in the UI. New passwords must contain at least 12 characters with uppercase, lowercase, and numeric characters, and cannot exceed bcrypt's 72 UTF-8-byte input boundary.
• OAuth callbacks no longer expose bearer tokens. GitHub and Hugging Face flows bind cryptographically random state to short-lived HttpOnly, SameSite cookies. The resulting JWT crosses through a 60-second Secure, HttpOnly exchange cookie that is cleared immediately instead of appearing in URLs, browser history, referrers, or reverse-proxy logs.
• Safer Compose defaults. The WebUI binds to loopback by default; bundled Ollama is no longer published to the host unless the new opt-in override is used; signup defaults to disabled; and the private deployment separates the root-equivalent Work Docker socket and Watchtower into explicit overrides.
• SSRF-resistant webpage attachments. Only HTTP(S) URLs without embedded credentials are accepted. Every resolved IPv4/IPv6 address and every redirect hop must remain public, DNS is pinned for the connection, redirects are bounded, fetches time out after 15 seconds, and response bodies are limited to 2 MB.
• Parser-based HTML extraction. Webpage text now uses an HTML parser instead of filtering regular expressions, ignores script/style/template content, and decodes entities once. This fixes CodeQL alerts #119, #120, and #121 without introducing double-unescaping or malformed-markup bypasses.
• Isolated artifact previews. HTML previews open inside an opaque-origin sandboxed iframe without same-origin or sandbox-escape privileges. SVG artifacts also render in a script-free sandbox with a restrictive content security policy instead of using direct HTML injection.
• Protected server Codex credentials. User-writable plugins cannot reserve the bundled Codex provider ID or receive the server user's OAuth access token; only the bundled definition matching its trust anchor can use that route.
• CodeQL cookie fixes. The OAuth transfer cookie is always Secure and HttpOnly, resolving alerts #117 and #118 for clear-text transmission and client-side exposure of a sensitive server cookie.
• Added a public security policy with private GitHub/email reporting, coordinated-disclosure expectations, documented trust boundaries, supported versions, and a good-faith research safe harbor.

• Refreshed 31 direct and transitive dependencies. Notable upgrades include better-sqlite3 13, TypeScript 7, Xterm 6, Vite 8.2, KaTeX 0.18, Playwright 1.62, Electron 41.10.3, electron-builder 26.15.7, React type definitions, i18next, Framer Motion, Lucide, PostCSS, and TanStack Query.
• Raised the brace-expansion override from 5.0.8 to 5.0.9 to close the remaining denial-of-service CVE bypass path; npm audit reports no known vulnerabilities at release time.

• Updated quick-start, authentication, Docker, external Ollama, local GPU, environment-variable, development-branch, agent CLI, provider connection, and private remote deployment guides for the new registration and network defaults.
• Added Docker Hub publishing metadata with installation paths, image-tag semantics, architecture support, security notes, and canonical project links.
• Replaced certification-style compliance claims with precise regulated- deployment guidance: Libre WebUI can support local, private, or air-gapped controls, but the complete deployment and organizational process determine compliance.
• Clarified the project charter's no-relicensing examples, added the canonical security-policy link, removed the obsolete Hetzner GPU tutorial, and fixed the private Compose documentation link so it works outside the repository.

• Registration approval queue. Public signups now wait for an administrator. New accounts land in a pending state, are told so at sign-in, and appear in a Pending approvals card in user management to approve or remove. Existing accounts are unaffected, and the first account on a fresh install still becomes the active administrator.
• Public registration can be disabled entirely with ENABLE_SIGNUP=false. The sign-up link disappears, direct registration and OAuth account creation are refused, and the setting is absolute: it also blocks first-administrator creation on an empty database, so a private install sets it to true once, behind its outer identity boundary, to bootstrap.
• Cloudflare Turnstile on password sign-in. When configured, the login form requires a solved challenge and the server rejects tokens whose hostname or action do not match what it expects.
• System diagnostics. An administrator-only System page reports host, runtime, memory, storage, network interfaces, and — when the Docker socket is available — engine details and container states, refreshing every 30 seconds.
• Provider usage analytics. Every outbound provider call is metered — model, status, token counts, duration — and charted on an administrator-only Usage page with per-model and per-plugin breakdowns over 7 to 90 days. Prompts, responses, endpoints, and credentials are never stored.
• Video and audio generation. OpenRouter models with media capabilities can generate video and audio jobs alongside images, tracked through a job lifecycle and collected in a unified media gallery with kind filters.
• Default vision model. A configured vision model takes over automatically when a conversation turn includes images, selectable under Settings → Models.
• Guarded local Git panel in Work. A Git tab in the workspace offers init, status with ahead/behind, bounded diffs, explicit staging, commits, and local branch switching — all inside the task sandbox. There is deliberately no clone, fetch, pull, push, remote, or credential surface.
• Tab context menu. Right-click a tab for close, close others, and close to the right; the + menu gains Incognito Chat and, for administrators, direct Users, System, and Usage entries.
• Private remote deployment kit. deploy/private/ ships a hardened Compose file (no published ports, read-only rootfs, dropped capabilities, resource limits, Cloudflare Tunnel), sysctl and fail2ban configs, and a backup script with a systemd timer, documented end to end.

• Compact admin and media surfaces. The density pass that reshaped chat in 0.17.0 now covers the System, Usage, and media surfaces: tighter panels, denser tables, and a smaller stat scale.
• Dark mode is the default for new installs. A pre-hydration script applies the theme before first paint, so there is no light flash. A saved light preference is respected.
• Work surfaces show your wallpaper. The Work page and its panes are translucent instead of opaque.
• Documents are owned per user and carry their type, size, and session across restarts. Every document route requires authentication.
• OpenRouter requests identify the app through attribution headers, sent only to OpenRouter's own endpoint.
• Removed the model install access setting. Model install, delete, copy, and push now require an administrator regardless of settings, so the toggle no longer did anything; the interface no longer shows install affordances to non-administrators, and its endpoint was removed.
• New toasts introduced this cycle are translated across all 25 locales instead of appearing in English everywhere.

• Work previews now work for remote browsers and behind HTTPS. Previews are proxied through the app origin as signed, revocable URLs instead of pointing the browser at a loopback port. Stopping a preview revokes its URL, and upstream cookies and credentials never reach the embedded page. Custom reverse proxies must forward HTTP and WebSocket traffic for /api/work/previews/; WORK_PREVIEW_HOST is no longer needed and was removed.
• Settings, keyboard shortcuts, the command palette, and the artifact panel are no longer reachable from the sign-in screen, and are closed when a session ends.
• The Agents surface is administrator-only in the interface, matching the backend.
• An explicit saved-session link can now leave incognito mode instead of being trapped in a private chat.

• The remaining unauthenticated API surface is closed. Provider, document, persona, TTS, embedding, Hugging Face, and agent CLI routes all require authentication; model install, delete, copy, push, and unload require an administrator.
• The chat WebSocket requires a valid token and an allowed origin on connect, re-verifies both on every message, and enforces payload and rate limits (CHAT_WS_MAX_PAYLOAD_BYTES, CHAT_WS_MAX_MESSAGES_PER_MINUTE).
• Identity is re-read from the database on every request, so a deleted account is rejected and a role change applies without waiting for token expiry.
• Generated encryption keys are no longer written to logs, and key files are created with owner-only permissions.
• Work's Git integration runs fixed argument lists as an unprivileged user with hooks, prompts, credential helpers, external diff drivers, and network protocols disabled, and refuses repositories that escape the workspace.

• A private remote deployment guide covering Cloudflare Access and Tunnel, bootstrap order, and the security model.
• Documented ENABLE_SIGNUP, the Turnstile hostname and action binding, chat WebSocket limits, and the Work production hardening checklist.
• A system monitoring guide covering the System and Usage pages: what each reports, what usage metering never stores, and the Docker socket trust caveat.
• A media generation guide covering plugin capability blocks, the video job lifecycle, the unified gallery, storage encryption, and rate limits.
• Documented the registration approval flow, the default vision model, incognito chat, the tab context menu, and the dark-by-default theme in the authentication, models, and tips guides.

• Tabbed workspace. Chats, Work sessions, and pages open as tabs in a browser-style strip. The + menu creates each kind and shows its shortcut, tabs survive a reload, and closing a session closes its tab.
• Home launcher. A new Home tab greets you, offers what to start, and lists recent chats and Work sessions to continue, with a live badge for Work runtimes that are currently active.
• Command palette. Cmd/Ctrl + K searches chats, Work sessions, and app actions from anywhere, including while a message composer has focus, so a draft is never lost to navigation. Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + O starts a chat and Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + U starts a Work session.
• Installed agent CLIs as chat models. When claude or codex is on the server's PATH, administrators see an Agents group in the model selector and can hold a normal conversation using the subscription that CLI is already signed in with. The CLI runs as the Libre WebUI server user and inherits its agent credentials, so it is admin-only and can be disabled entirely with AGENT_CLI_MODELS_ENABLED=false.
• Work terminal. A real interactive shell attaches to the task's sandboxed container under the identical container policy as the model's own tools, so it is a human-facing view of the sandbox rather than a way around it.
• Host folder workspaces for Work (opt-in). A task can be bound to a real directory instead of its Docker volume. Requested paths are resolved through symlinks, checked against an allowlist of roots, and credential directories are refused. Off by default behind WORK_HOST_WORKSPACES_ENABLED, because it deliberately narrows the sandbox.
• Concurrent Work runtimes with complete file tools, plus a workspace diff view showing what the model changed in its last turn.

• Denser interface. A compact pass across chat, the composer, and the sidebar: slimmer message bubbles with hover-revealed actions, a tighter type scale, and a narrower reading column.
• Redesigned chat history rail with a dense tick timeline and a compact hover preview of each turn.
• Reorganized settings. Nine flat tabs became four labelled groups — General, Chat, Speech & images, and Connections — with quieter navigation.
• Compact sidebar. Models, Personas, Imagine, and Agents collapsed from four stacked rows into a single icon row, giving the space back to the conversation list. All four remain reachable from Home, the tab menu, and the palette.
• Renamed the Libre Claw surface to Agents in the interface and translated it across all 25 locales. The daemon keeps its own name where the daemon itself is meant.
• Redesigned sign-in page with a brand pane that states what the project is, and social sign-in that no longer renders an empty divider when no OAuth provider is configured.
• Stronger Work container isolation, including a policy fingerprint that is re-verified before a container is reused so one predating a hardening change is recreated rather than reused.
• Removed the duplicate Chat and Work entries from the sidebar navigation.

• The sign-in form no longer shows an "or" divider when neither GitHub nor Hugging Face OAuth is configured.
• Deleting a chat or Work session now also closes its tab instead of leaving a tab pointing at a missing session.
• Resolved React set-state-in-effect and fast-refresh warnings in the new tab bar and command palette.

• Restructured the README around what the project is, how to run it, and then depth, with a documentation index and deduplicated deployment guidance.
• Added a guide for using an installed coding agent as a chat model.
• Documented host folder workspaces, the browser terminal, the tabbed interface, and the new keyboard shortcuts.
• Documented the workspace Changes diff view.

• Work now runs when Libre WebUI itself runs in Docker. The image ships the Docker CLI and every repository Compose file mounts the host Docker socket with its group, so docker compose up -d provides a working Work runtime. Task containers run as siblings of the Libre WebUI container on the same daemon. This gives every Libre WebUI administrator root-equivalent control of the Docker host; remove the /var/run/docker.sock mount from the Compose file to disable Work.
• Added DOCKER_GID and DOCKER_SOCKET Compose variables for hosts whose Docker socket is not owned by group 0, and WORK_PREVIEW_BIND and WORK_PREVIEW_HOST for deployments where the browser reaches the Docker host at another address.

• Plugin model catalogs now refresh on their own. A catalog that is missing or older than the refresh interval is rediscovered when the plugin list is read, so reloading the app reflects the provider's current models. A per-plugin backoff avoids probing an unreachable provider on every request, and a deadline keeps a slow provider from stalling the response.
• Refresh models now reports its outcome: whether the catalog was updated, was already current, could not be loaded, or was never fetched because no usable API key was configured. A key set only in the environment is ignored for a provider that runs an installed definition instead of the bundled one, and the message now says so.
• An unreachable Docker daemon now names the deployment change to make — a missing Docker CLI, an unmounted socket, or a socket group the backend user does not belong to — instead of reporting only that Docker is unavailable.
• Speech, image, and embedding models discovered from a provider's catalog no longer appear in the chat model picker. They remain available to the pickers that use them.

• Fixed discovered model catalogs never expiring. Models were fetched once at activation and then reused indefinitely, so a provider's newer models never appeared after a reload.
• Fixed a model catalog refresh reporting success when it never reached the provider. A missing API key, an unreachable endpoint, or an empty response silently returned the previous catalog and still showed a confirmation.

• Added a Provider connections guide for the workspace introduced in 0.16.0.
• Documented running Work when Libre WebUI is itself in Docker, including the socket requirement, its security consequence, how to read the socket group id, and how to disable Work, across the README, quick start, Docker, external Ollama, GPU, dev branch, Kubernetes, troubleshooting, environment variable, and Work guides.

• Added a searchable Provider connections workspace under Settings → Plugins, with a provider list, selected-provider details, activation state, a read-only capability-aware model catalog, and explicit per-user Refresh models discovery. (#173)
• Added selectable Chat Completions and Responses API modes for OpenAI-compatible providers in Chat and Work. Completed and streamed Responses output now covers text, reasoning, refusals, tool calls, usage, and incomplete results. (#168)
• Added OpenAI Image API support with GPT Image models, provider-qualified image selection, an independent image endpoint, and authenticated generation and gallery flows. (#167)

• Kept provider configuration and advanced generation controls collapsed by default. Inherited values now appear as blank provider defaults, only changed overrides are saved, clearing an override restores inheritance, and in-flight saves or model refreshes no longer overwrite newer edits. (#171)
• Allowed absolute HTTP endpoints for self-hosted gateways on trusted networks, including container and service hostnames, while warning that credentials and traffic are unencrypted and continuing to prefer HTTPS. (#172)
• Expanded pull-request gates to cover formatting, linting, TypeScript, package regressions, Playwright, cross-platform Electron packaging, and non-publishing amd64/arm64 Docker builds, including stacked pull requests. (#170)

• Fixed custom endpoint and Base URL overrides so the selected route is honored consistently across Chat, Work, model discovery, image generation, embeddings, and text-to-speech. Invalid explicit routes now fail instead of silently falling back to a bundled provider endpoint. (#165, #168)
• Made discovered model catalogs persistent and per-user, derived /models routes from the effective provider endpoint, and waited for activation-time discovery so the first refreshed catalog is current. (#165)
• Preserved exact provider identity in Chat when Ollama or multiple plugins expose the same model ID. Missing or inactive providers now remain visibly unavailable instead of silently routing to a different provider with the same model name. (#165)
• Bound Responses replay state to the same provider, model, endpoint, and credential, and stopped active Work runs before replaying tool state after a provider route or credential change. (#168)

• Isolated provider endpoints, credentials, discovered catalogs, and capability routes by user; custom routes cannot borrow a bundled environment credential, image and gallery routes require authentication, redirects are not followed, and malformed or non-HTTP(S) routes remain rejected. (#165, #167, #168)

• Expanded the model, plugin architecture, troubleshooting, environment, migration, self-hosted gateway, and Kimi Code guidance for provider configuration, URL precedence, Responses mode, image generation, model discovery, inherited settings, and container networking.

• Special thanks to ZhengJin (@fangzhengjin) for the detailed third-party-provider feedback and AI-assisted UX concept shared in #163. That feedback directly shaped Responses API support, reliable custom Base URL routing and model discovery, OpenAI image generation, simpler collapsed provider settings, hostname-based HTTP gateways for trusted self-hosted networks, and the new Provider connections workspace inside Settings → Plugins.

• Added a bundled MLX LM plugin path for local Apple Silicon inference, including an OpenAI-compatible example server, plugin manifest, validation, settings integration, Work routing, tests, and setup documentation.

• Reworked the Work landing page and composer around the shared Chat model selector. Work now retains provider-scoped model identities, presents the selected model consistently on desktop and mobile, restores keyboard focus correctly, and keeps remote-provider disclosure integrated with the composer.
• Unified Work conversation identities with Chat. User messages now use the authenticated account avatar with an initials fallback, while worker messages use the Libre WebUI assistant avatar and matching conversation spacing.
• Added verified GitHub-to-Forgejo release mirroring with tag-parity checks, idempotent single-release and backfill commands, dry-run support, GitHub-backed release assets, tests, and updated release documentation.

• Fixed non-stream plugin calls, including generated titles, accidentally inheriting a saved stream: true preference and then appearing empty or invalid to the JSON response parser.
• Fixed Work providers returning truncated or malformed tool arguments. Invalid arguments are now preserved as provider metadata, validated before any tool in the same batch executes, and returned to the worker as an actionable retry instead of risking partial tool execution. Worker guidance also keeps individual file writes below 8,000 characters.
• Restored the complete live Ollama catalogue after ollama.com changed its model-card markup. Libre WebUI now loads and deduplicates every available page, decodes descriptions and metadata, recognizes capability badges such as thinking, vision, and embedding, removes the 50-model display cap, and falls back to the curated catalogue only when the live response is unreadable.

• Added a complete MLX LM guide for Apple Silicon and usage instructions for the bundled example server.
• Updated plugin architecture and release automation documentation for MLX LM and the dual-remote Forgejo release workflow.

• Added distinct Chat and Work actions in the primary sidebar, with the active mode visibly selected. Work tasks appear in the normal task list and retain their title, provider, status, conversation, run history, and files when reopened.
• Added a durable workspace for every Work task: ownership, messages, runs, errors, provider routing, and activity are stored in Libre WebUI's database, while project files live in a task-specific Docker named volume mounted at /workspace.
• Added a managed, disposable Docker container identity for each task. Containers are created, started, stopped, or recreated on demand while the named volume survives run cancellation, preview shutdown, container replacement, and Libre WebUI restarts.
• Added a native autonomous tool loop with list_files, read_file, write_file, search_files, run_command, start_preview, and stop_preview. Server-owned workspace skills guide project discovery, focused editing, verification, recovery, and preview use without writing an AGENTS.md or another control file into the project.
• Added explicit model routing for tool-capable local Ollama and Ollama Cloud models plus configured completion/chat plugins through OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic, and Gemini tool adapters. Provider type and plugin identity are persisted with both the task and each run so equal model names cannot silently switch routes.
• Added an authenticated, resumable server-sent event stream for live run state, assistant response deltas, provider-exposed reasoning, tool calls and results, usage data, loaded skills, errors, and completion. The interface shows active rounds, elapsed time, expandable tool details, generated-token usage or an approximation when provider usage is unavailable, and reconnection state.
• Added a complete Work interface with Conversation, Files, Activity, and Preview surfaces; a pointer- and keyboard-resizable desktop split; compact mobile surface controls; editable task titles; cancellation; paginated history; and direct task deletion.
• Added a theme-aware workspace code editor with light and dark syntax highlighting, LTR code inside RTL layouts, supported-file formatting, Cmd/Ctrl+S, optimistic save-conflict detection, per-file browser drafts, navigation protection, and responsive fallbacks for large files.
• Added managed browser previews that can be embedded or opened separately. With no custom command, Work detects root or nested package.json development scripts, handles Next.js host arguments, or serves a plain index.html through a bundled zero-dependency static server.

• Raised the default provider-agnostic Work budget to 48 model rounds and derived a larger bounded tool-call budget. Exhausted runs now request a final no-tools progress handoff and finish as Needs input, allowing a later run to continue in the same workspace instead of exposing a raw provider-specific round-limit error or claiming false completion.
• Added a dismissible, per-user disclosure for plugin-backed and Ollama Cloud routes. It explains that autonomous work can make multiple billable requests and can send conversation context and requested tool results, including file contents, to the selected service.
• Added consistent Idle, Thinking, Complete, Needs input, and Error states across the Work page and sidebar, while keeping task positions stable as activity and timestamps change. Status colors are now white rgb(255, 255, 255), blue rgb(48, 121, 255), green rgb(76, 212, 117), yellow rgb(255, 204, 0), and pink rgb(255, 61, 129), respectively.
• Removed the misleading Work network toggle and standardized UI-created tasks on Docker bridge networking. Runtime readiness now describes Docker and available model routes without implying that Ollama is always required.
• Replaced yellow and amber warning surfaces with the #ff7b52 coral palette, retained compatibility with existing saved accent preferences, and aligned code rendering with the active light or dark theme.
• Localized the complete Work experience across all 25 supported locales. Arabic now uses a genuinely mirrored RTL layout for navigation, pane order, tabs, and resize behavior while code, paths, commands, model identifiers, and tool output remain LTR.
• Added configurable runtime image, Docker command, command timeout, output, memory, CPU, PID, preview-port, model-round, active-runtime, and task admission limits.

• Fixed static Work projects failing preview startup with ENOENT: /workspace/package.json. Empty preview commands now detect plain static sites and single nested applications instead of always attempting npm run dev from the workspace root.
• Fixed ambiguous or unsupported preview layouts returning misleading npm failures. Work now returns actionable errors and preserves explicit custom commands for other project structures.
• Fixed Kimi Code and Moonshot Work requests by omitting sampling fields that Kimi fixes internally, removing obsolete temperature and penalty controls from migrated provider definitions, adding k3-256k, and preserving provider reasoning metadata across tool-call turns. Upstream quota throttling may still return HTTP 429.
• Fixed selected Work tasks being difficult to delete, task rows changing position during runs, stale polling restoring deleted tasks, and Work/Chat navigation selecting the wrong mode.
• Made plugin settings surface structured provider error details instead of reducing responses such as quota failures to a generic HTTP status message.
• Fixed stale file reads and saves replacing the active file, edits typed during an in-flight save being lost, failed saves discarding drafts, and older editor revisions overwriting files changed by the model or another browser action.
• Corrected Work layout, code highlighting, formatting, resizing, status indicators, and keyboard behavior across desktop, compact, dark, light, and Arabic RTL modes.

• Required current administrator authorization for every Work endpoint and enforced task ownership across tasks, runs, event streams, files, previews, and cancellation. Administrator demotion blocks further Work access immediately, and account deletion cleans up owned Work resources before removing ownership metadata.
• Hardened task containers with a pinned Node runtime image, non-root UID/GID, read-only root filesystem, bounded temporary storage, dropped Linux capabilities, no-new-privileges, CPU, memory, PID, command-time, output, and concurrency limits, and only the task-owned volume mounted at /workspace.
• Added managed-resource and task-ownership labels, path and symlink containment, atomic writes, optimistic file versions, lifecycle locks, startup reconciliation, graceful shutdown, and fail-closed cleanup retries so resources with conflicting ownership are not reused or silently deleted.
• Published previews only to a Docker-assigned loopback host port and embedded them in a separate-origin sandboxed frame without Libre WebUI authentication credentials.
• Added authenticated per-user and guest-IP rate limiting to plugin discovery routes, stricter mutation limits, and a pre-authentication burst guard. Hardened Work preview lease cleanup against unvalidated dynamic callback invocation reported by CodeQL.
• Restricted Electron preview navigation to valid HTTP and HTTPS destinations.
• Documented the remaining security boundary: Work containers share the Docker host kernel, UI-created tasks have bridge egress, volumes have no independent quota, and neither the Docker socket nor provider credentials are mounted into a task.

• Work requires Docker to be installed, running, and callable by the Libre WebUI backend user. Running Libre WebUI through npx does not install Docker; when it is unavailable, Work reports the runtime as unavailable and never falls back to running model commands on the host. Chat continues to work without Docker.
• The standard Docker Compose and Helm/Kubernetes configurations do not currently expose a compatible nested Work runtime. Electron uses its separately managed backend, while source, npx, bare-metal, and VM deployments can use Work when their backend has Docker access.
• Embedded previews are published on the backend's loopback interface. They are suitable for a local browser but are not currently forwarded to remote browsers when Libre WebUI runs on another server.
• Complete Work backup and recovery requires both Libre WebUI's SQLite/data storage and its labeled Docker workspace volumes.

• Added a comprehensive Work guide covering architecture, tools, providers, data disclosure, live activity, worker skills, container lifecycle, persistence, backups, previews, security boundaries, configuration, deployment support, localization, and troubleshooting.
• Updated the README, quick start, model, shortcuts, authentication, storage, Docker, Kubernetes, Electron, hardware, environment-variable, Libre Claw, plugin, Kimi Code, and troubleshooting documentation for the Work release, and refreshed the Work screenshot.
• Removed obsolete tracked AGENT.md and AGENTS.md instruction files and ignored the repository-root AGENTS.md so private workspace guidance is not committed accidentally.

• Migrated the browser SPA from react-router-dom 7.18.1 to react-router 8.3.0, updated all routing imports and Vite chunking, and aligned the frontend with React and React DOM 19.2.8 plus matching type packages.
• Raised the supported Node.js baseline to 22.22 across package metadata, Docker images, GitHub Actions, and installation and desktop documentation.
• Consolidated the React runtime and type dependency graph at the workspace root to prevent duplicate React installations and keep lockfile resolution deterministic.

• Replaced Qwen TTS's permissive emoji regular expression with explicit Unicode code-point checks that remove the intended emoji sequences without consuming CJK, Arabic, Indic, mathematical, or other astral text.
• Reworked Qwen and Kyutai Markdown-link and stage-direction sanitization as bounded forward scanners so malformed or adversarial input is handled without repeated rescanning or polynomial regular-expression behavior.
• Rejected local filesystem paths in Kyutai TTS voice references while preserving built-in voices and explicitly allowed remote references.

• Upgraded React Router to 8.3.0 and brace-expansion to 5.0.8, refreshed ESLint and minimatch to patched lockfile versions, and removed the obsolete react-router-dom package.
• Removed the temporary router advisory exception and custom audit wrapper; npm audit --audit-level=moderate now fails directly on every applicable advisory.
• Added regression coverage for exact Unicode interval boundaries, multilingual preservation, multi-code-point emoji sequences, local-path rejection, nested or malformed markup, and inputs exceeding 100,000 characters across the Qwen and Kyutai TTS examples.

• Added a bundled Kimi Code provider for Moonshot AI's OpenAI-compatible API, with Kimi K3, Kimi K2.7 Code, and Kimi K2.7 Code HighSpeed model profiles, streaming, configurable generation valves, and per-user or environment-based credentials.
• Added Claude Opus 5 to the bundled Anthropic provider catalog.

• Aligned the Anthropic catalog and controls with the current Claude API: retained supported public model snapshots, removed the retiring Claude Opus 4.1 entry and unsupported penalty controls, corrected the legacy temperature range, and expanded the default token budget for adaptive thinking.
• Aligned Helm chart, application, and Docker image versions with each release; pinned the 0.14.1 transition to its verified multi-architecture digest while preserving explicit tag overrides; made subsequent Kubernetes deployments use the chart appVersion; and limited chart publication to releases whose default Docker image exists.
• Made the local release command run the complete format, lint, security, package, build, and npm publish dry-run gate before it creates a release commit or tag, and added regression coverage for release status, Docker tags, Helm rendering, Homebrew metadata, macOS artifacts, and packaged npm contents.

• Fixed Anthropic requests for Opus 5 and other current Claude models by omitting rejected sampling parameters, using the native Messages payload and version header while streaming, parsing Anthropic text and tool-use events, and discovering models from the correct /v1/models endpoint.
• Fixed the macOS DMG installation canvas so Finder exposes only Libre WebUI and Applications, embeds the Retina background inside the app, preserves its Finder alias, and uses correctly scaled artwork and icon positions.
• Repaired Homebrew packaging by installing the CLI formula from the published npm tarball, matching the cask to the actual arm64 DMG and application bundle, separating the libre-webui formula from the libre-webui-frontend cask, and clarifying explicit formula installation.

• Updated body-parser to 2.3.0, fast-uri to 3.1.4, PostCSS to 8.5.23, and tar to 7.5.22, and enforced patched transitive versions of brace-expansion 5.0.7, js-yaml 4.3.0, and shell-quote 1.10.0.
• Pinned React Router to 7.18.1 and added a time-bounded, fail-closed audit exception for an unstable-RSC-only advisory that does not apply to Libre WebUI's declarative browser SPA; the gate rejects version drift, RSC usage, malformed reports, additional advisories, and registry failures.

• Added Kimi Code setup, membership-aware model guidance, privacy boundaries, troubleshooting, and the KIMI_API_KEY environment variable to the provider documentation.
• Simplified the public project stewardship language, removed an unnecessary third-party comparison from the Hetzner deployment tutorial, and documented version-pinned Kubernetes releases.

• Added native Retina DMG artwork with a 760×500 72-DPI representation and a 1520×1000 144-DPI representation for a sharp, correctly sized installer on standard and high-density displays.
• Strengthened macOS artifact verification to mount the finished DMG and validate its checksum, background format, dimensions, density, Applications shortcut, visible item count, Finder metadata, application identifier, and ad-hoc signature before CI uploads it.

• Fixed Finder enlarging and cropping the branded installer background because the generated PNG was encoded at 25 DPI instead of the expected 72 DPI.
• Marked the background, volume icon, and disk-image metadata as Finder-invisible so the installation window exposes only Libre WebUI and the Applications shortcut.
• Regenerated the DMG blockmap and release checksum metadata after Finder finalization so differential updates and latest-mac.yml continue to describe the published artifact exactly.

• Added a desktop conversation history rail that maps each user turn beside the chat, lets readers jump directly to any turn, and previews the matching prompt and active assistant response on hover or keyboard focus.
• Added keyboard navigation for the history rail with arrow, Home, End, Enter, and Escape behavior, localized accessible labels across all supported languages, reduced-motion support, and mirrored placement for right-to-left layouts.
• Redesigned the macOS arm64 DMG as a 760×500 branded installation canvas with original artwork, the “Make whatever comes next.” identity, a clear Applications drag target, and the same editorial visual language as the website and documentation.

• Made the history rail follow the reader dynamically while scrolling in either direction, keep the active marker visible inside long rails, resolve regenerated branches to the active response, and preserve the selected position while a newer response streams.
• Kept the rail available in compact desktop windows while intentionally removing it from mobile chat layouts where it would compete with the conversation.
• Standardized constrained scrolling across application pages, sidebar history, Settings, model selectors, plugin and Hugging Face browsers, image generation, persona switching, keyboard shortcuts, and user menus.
• Switched the application shell to dynamic viewport sizing, tightened nested flex layouts, added stable scroll regions, and increased Electron scrollbar width for easier pointer interaction.
• Expanded end-to-end coverage for rail navigation, manual scroll synchronization, branching, live streaming, Arabic RTL placement, compact desktop behavior, mobile visibility, and Electron-sized wheel scrolling at the minimum 800×600 window size.

• Removed the Electron preload rule that made the entire document draggable and could intercept page or menu scroll gestures; window dragging is now limited to the explicit title-bar surfaces.
• Fixed clipped or difficult-to-scroll Electron pages and dialogs by giving their actual content regions bounded height and native overflow behavior.
• Made unsigned macOS distribution builds structurally valid by applying an explicit ad-hoc signature with hardened runtime entitlements instead of producing an unverified application bundle.
• Added macOS artifact verification that checks the DMG checksum, mounted application bundle, identifier, and ad-hoc code signature before CI uploads the package.

• Updated the Electron desktop guide with the ad-hoc signing model, packaged-app verification command, safe Gatekeeper approval steps, quarantine removal for verified downloads, and the future Developer ID/notarization path.

• Unified streaming and completed code behind the same accessible code-block component, with localized copy feedback, stable styling, and consistent dimensions as responses finish.
• Expanded syntax highlighting for C#, Go, Kotlin, PHP, Ruby, Rust, SQL, Swift, and YAML, including common language aliases.
• Made long streaming code blocks follow the newest output until the reader intentionally scrolls away.
• Added end-to-end coverage for live code rendering, CommonMark fence parsing, bare HTML documents, reader-controlled scrolling, code-safe LaTeX preprocessing, and title-generation request behavior.

• Fixed reasoning-capable Ollama models consuming the entire automatic-title token budget before producing visible text by disabling reasoning for title utility requests.
• Restored specialized code blocks as soon as generated code begins streaming instead of temporarily displaying code as plain text or exposing Markdown fence markers.
• Improved streaming parsing for incomplete and multiple CommonMark code fences, backtick and tilde fences, indented fences, variable-length fences, CRLF input, and unfenced HTML documents.
• Prevented LaTeX preprocessing from modifying fenced or inline generated code and removed the visual layout jump when a streaming code block completes.

• Added an IP-based limit of 200 requests per 15 minutes to /api/plugins, applied before optional authentication to protect authentication, filesystem, credential-store, and plugin-enumeration work.
• Upgraded electron-builder to 26.15.6 and modernized its Electron packaging dependencies, removing the deprecated inflight, glob 7, and boolean packages that produced installation warnings.
• Added a package-lock regression test that fails when any dependency is marked deprecated.
• Raised the supported Node.js minimum to 22.12 to match the modern Electron packaging toolchain.

• Added end-to-end and packaged-runtime regression coverage for theme persistence, adaptive palettes and contrast, RTL desktop/mobile behavior, shared TTS model aliases, per-user valves, and packed npx launches.

• Fixed light/dark mode and accent preferences reverting after a refresh by persisting theme changes locally and to the backend, retrying failed saves, reconciling stale responses, and preserving hydrated preferences for the same signed-in user.
• Fixed TTS provider selection when multiple plugins expose the same model alias by preserving the plugin ID through settings, test playback, read-aloud, sentence streaming, and autoplay, while using the selected provider's default voice and audio format.
• Fixed authenticated plugin credentials and valve values so they are stored and resolved per user, allowing TTS requests to reach the configured endpoint such as Kyutai's /v1/audio/speech address.
