Changelog

0.93

• The new Logic Board theme turns Tuna into a dark chip on a green circuit board, with staggered
  pulses of current running through its traces when the launcher activates.
• Search results that match a keyword, bundle name, or alias now show the winning term beneath the
  title, with the matching characters highlighted.
• Images can now be converted to text inline with OCR or processed in the background with OCR to
  Shelf.
• Shelf task logs can now be copied directly from the log viewer.
• Catalogs backed by live search now default to Search while retaining Browse for recent or grouped
  items; enriched apps still default to Open and enter Search with Right Arrow.
• Aliases now sync through config.toml, and upgrades repair aliases created with older Smart Link
  identities instead of requiring them to be reassigned.

Fixes

• Catalog errors and empty states now appear as compact messages instead of oversized grid items.
• Search now matches each keyword separately, preventing queries from scattering letters across
  unrelated keywords and outranking better results.
• Selected result row borders no longer get clipped by the results pane.
• Tuna now closes immediately when it starts a dismissing command from search or Combo Mode, while
  still reopening for commands that return a result.
• Action preferences no longer show installed extension actions as missing because of source settings.
• Paging through large folders now stays responsive, including folders full of images.

0.92

• Quick Look can now preview remote catalog items that prepare a local preview on demand.

0.91

Fixes

• Large v3 Turbo can be downloaded again after its upstream model artifact changed.
• Search results no longer reshuffle after first appearing.
• Browse and Search commands now reveal Tuna with their destination already open instead of briefly
  showing the staged command first.
• Source priority controls now live under Advanced in source details instead of crowding the
  sources list.
• Talk Mode no longer discards audio from recordings longer than five minutes, and replaces its
  listening label with the elapsed time after 30 seconds.
• Window Management commands that reach the screen edges (Maximize, halves, thirds, …) no longer
  need several runs on systems where the app applies the move and the resize separately.

0.90

Fixes

• Shortcuts now shows Tuna's specific error when “Stage in Tuna” cannot complete.
• Smart Links no longer add locale separators to numeric input, so links such as GitHub pull
  requests receive 1234 instead of 1,234.

0.89

Fixes

• Assign Alias commands no longer report success before the alias is saved.
• Opening an app, file, or URL now dismisses Tuna immediately instead of waiting for macOS to
  finish opening it.
• Upgrading no longer fails with a "Migrate AI provider settings" error when config.toml has an
  unrelated problem (like a hand-edited Combo Mode binding without a destination). The file is left
  untouched and reported as an invalid configuration instead.

0.88

Upgrade note: Smart Links are now identified by their name instead of internal IDs. Tuna
rewrites your saved hotkeys and Combo Mode bindings automatically, but scripts using tuna:// URLs
that embed a Smart Link's old ID must be updated, and Smart Link abbreviations and learned rankings
reset. Duplicate Smart Link names get a numeric suffix.

Configuration

• Smart Links and Combo Mode bindings no longer carry IDs in config.toml, and custom hotkey IDs
  are optional, making the file much easier to write by hand
• Renaming a Smart Link in Settings updates every hotkey, Combo Mode binding, and action preference
  that refers to it
• Upgrades are more resilient: catalog names from older versions are recognized, a broken synced
  file no longer blocks the rest of the upgrade, the backup always holds the original file, and
  anything dropped is reported in more detail
• Combo Mode import also accepts Leader Key configuration files and reports entries it could not
  convert

Intelligence

• Applying configuration no longer wipes AI provider settings or cached model lists
• When macOS Keychain denies access to a saved API key, Tuna now says so instead of showing
  "Not set"
• Intelligence settings refresh when the configuration file changes while the pane is open

0.87

Intelligence

• Intelligence settings now include provider presets and keep each provider’s API key and model
• Model selection now loads the models available directly from the selected provider
• API keys are now changed explicitly instead of being overwritten while editing
• AI Agent model overrides use the same searchable provider model picker

Themes

• Normie Bar and Nuggets now match Default’s status feedback, tint controls, staged-item presentation, and keyboard hints
• Silly Type stays vertically centered and no longer crashes when dismissed

Catalogs

• Tuna no longer runs periodic background catalog rescans

Fixes

• Command setup no longer crashes when a catalog item has an invalid saved reference
• Debug prompts copied from Runtime Logs now link directly to the configuration guide

0.86

Fixes

• Catalog hotkeys now show results when needed without briefly flashing Tuna
• Comma now stages the selected item while browsing a catalog

0.85

Upgrade note: This release rewrites command and configuration data again. Tuna backs up
config.toml, but older hotkeys, Combo Mode bindings, or Smart Link commands may still need repair.
The new format is intended to avoid another reset.

Logs

• Added Runtime Logs in Settings with details, copy, export, and an AI debugging prompt
• Startup errors now open Runtime Logs automatically

Commands

• Hotkey, URL, and Combo Mode commands now handle results, failures, and cancellation consistently
• The comma key once again stages multiple subjects
• Combo Mode groups run all actions again; the builder and cheatsheets are clearer

Configuration

• Upgrades preserve hotkeys, nested Combo Mode bindings, workflows, and general settings where
  possible
• Invalid config and migration losses are reported instead of silently applied
• External edits are protected, and source scope or sorting changes reload without restarting
• Smart Links keep stable identities across future imports

Fixes

• Improved extension field contrast and added built-in X and GIPHY icons
• Fixed settings sheet crashes, unreliable restarts, and Talk Mode inserting into the wrong app

0.84

• Backspace deletes search text instead of moving up while browsing nested catalogs
• Nested extension catalogs preserve their intended list or grid layout

0.83

• Extensions can connect directly to OAuth services such as Are.na
• Added preview-first catalog grids and clearer loading feedback
• Backspace and ⌘↑ move up while browsing nested catalogs
• Dynamic action targets load and refresh only when needed
• Fixed distinct text snippets with matching display titles being treated as the same item

0.82

• App pickers only show applications
• Combo Mode URL bindings use the correct Open URL action

0.81

• Fixed migration of legacy commands
• Update downloads now verified with signatures

0.80

Note: Upgrading from 0.78 or earlier resets action order and default-action overrides.
Everything else — hotkeys, combo bindings, sources, and scope — is kept. Reorder any actions
you had customised.
