- The workspace is made of cards. The three columns, projects, terminals and dock, are rounded cards floating on the dark background, and the old title bar and status bar are gone. The controls that lived in the footer became a column of square buttons on the right, outside the cards, folding into a More button when the height runs out; the dock modes sit as a segmented control in the middle of the top strip; the version, the update button and the Mega Baker crown sit at the top left. Every terminal is a card of its own, and a dot in the theme accent marks the active one.
- Voice has one home for any service that speaks the OpenAI transcription protocol. A single select carries Groq, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Mistral (Voxtral), a local server, or Other with your own address, and the endpoint and the model stay on screen and editable, so a URL that changes tomorrow is a five second fix instead of a dead end. Every entry was checked in the vendor's own documentation before shipping, and what does not fit the protocol is named as not compatible, with the reason in plain sight.
- The Mega Baker's model became a level. For the master and for the workers you pick Maximum, Balanced, Fast, the CLI default, or a specific model, instead of typing a name and hoping it exists. The list comes from the CLI itself: the app opens the CLI's own model picker in a hidden terminal and reads what it offers, so your choice does not age every time a vendor renames a model, and a line under the select shows exactly what will run, flags included.
- A sound when the AI finishes, and the Classic theme. A short chime plays when an AI CLI stops working, off by default and one click away in the controls column. The app's original palette came back as the Classic theme (anyone on Midnight moves across without noticing), the default dark was resampled around our orange, every theme carries an icon in the picker, and the project palette went to 24 colours.

- Every dialog wears the same shell. The 24 modals share one frame: a fixed header with icon, title and subtitle, a body that scrolls on its own, a warning strip when there is something to warn about, and a footer with the buttons always in reach. All of them speak the language of the app, the welcome tour and the QA tests included.
- The accent stopped being everywhere. Selected items and the focused terminal use a neutral veil instead of orange, so the accent means something again: the active terminal, the primary action, the CLI in use. The theme picker got icons, the Termbaker stamp moved into the terminal header, and the resize handle came out of the dock and onto the gap it actually resizes.
- The install assistant, the explorer and the usage column fit the new shell. The CLI install assistant was redrawn, the explorer's save button moved into the card header next to the close, the AI usage column no longer collapses whole when the sidebar shrinks and lost the title it did not need, and the top strip breathes four pixels above the cards.
- Measured again on both platforms. The full round ran on Windows and on Linux for this release: the unit suite, live QA of the new shell, the Mega Baker driving two projects at once, and the performance battery, with no long tasks on the hot paths and no leaks across terminals, dock panels, modals and project switching.
✓fixed
- The background no longer changes colour while you drag a terminal's edge, and the tooltip no longer flickers when the pointer crosses it.
- Nothing paints over the native browser view any more, its top corner stays square where the window is square, and the window can be dragged by the top strip again.
- The voice service list was corrected against the documentation before it shipped: three entries in the first draft pointed at endpoints that do not exist in that shape, and a service that transcribes only inside its own chat is now named as not compatible instead of being offered.
