v0.7.0 — The AI Assistant grows up: real chat bubbles, Markdown & a thinking indicator
✨ New features
A proper chat UI for the AI Assistant
- The AI Chat pane now renders real chat bubbles — your messages on the right, the AI's on the left — with full Markdown: code blocks, tables, lists and inline
codeall display cleanly. - When you send a prompt, an animated "…" thinking bubble appears while the AI works and disappears the moment the reply lands, so you always know it's running.
- Built on WebView2 (part of Windows 11). The model dropdown,
[AI]serial tagging, and PDU confirmations all work exactly as before.
Control how far the AI runs
- New setting Max tool calls / message (Settings → AI Assistant): how many tool calls the assistant may chain before it stops — a runaway-loop guard. Default is 30.
- Set it to 0 for unlimited, handy for long automation runs you leave going for hours.
- While the AI is working, the Send button turns into Stop so you can abort any run — bounded or unlimited — at any time.
