• UI stability was improved by hardening weather embed fields, preventing duplicate log keys, and resolving translation gaps in gift card settings and route titles. (a46561c2d, 5772acbfd, 3447c8c9f)
• The code embed preview now correctly displays execution output alongside the source code. (c4a016d75)
• App skill embed previews were registered to ensure consistent rendering across example chats. (a5f7f40ae)

Unreleased Progress

• Extensive work was completed on iOS and macOS parity, including embed rendering, chat message spacing, and UI contract probes for headers and recording overlays. (47c5a97e9, f4ba40916, 92537792a)
• Initial support for sending sub-chat continuations as user tasks was added, though the tasks platform remains disabled. (6c48d11fb)

Internal Progress

• Service health monitoring was refined to reduce false positives for degraded service alerts. (331727558)
• Automatic handoff of admin issues to OpenCode was disabled to allow for manual investigation. (f254e9a87)
• A database migration was added to optimize chat message indexing. (01f54ff81)

Rationale

The newsletter highlights major model additions, significant research tool improvements, and security updates that are ready for public use. It excludes platform-specific work that remains gated.

Quality Notes

• Extensive testing was performed on Apple platform parity, including visual snapshots and UI contract assertions.
• Deep research logic was strengthened with better synthesis formatting and sub-chat delegation gates.
• Draft send reliability was a major focus, addressing several edge-case race conditions.
