GitHub: Desktop v0.0.8

• Edit any earlier message in a conversation — the app forks the session at that point, rewinds the workspace to that run's checkpoint, and re-runs from your edited prompt. Restores are transactional and workspace-atomic, so a failed restore won't leave you half-rewound.


• Fixed long-running chat turns timing out mid-response.


• Checkpoints are now created reliably — including after a restart, after compaction, and on the first turn of a resumed session — and restoring one rewinds the whole workspace, not just the conversation.


• Fixed checkpoint restores failing after you closed and reopened a session.


• Reasoning controls (effort, thinking budget, on/off) now come from the shared model catalog, so each model gets exactly the reasoning options it actually supports instead of provider-specific guesses.


• Errors from upstream providers forwarded through the gateway now show the real message (e.g. "This model's maximum context length is 40960 tokens…") instead of a raw validation dump or [object Object].


• Ollama: empty responses are retried automatically, and the response-start timeout is raised to 5 minutes so cold model loads don't error out.


• OpenRouter now defaults to Anthropic Claude Sonnet 5.


• Model pickers show proper display names for Cline free models and recommended models.


• MCP servers now honor their configured per-server timeout.


• Fixed API keys for several providers being lost when migrating from an older install — all secret-backed providers now migrate correctly.


• Unknown or removed legacy model IDs now fall back to the default Cline model instead of failing.


• Fixed agentic compaction not persisting reliably, so long conversations resume in the right state.


• Fixed a .clinerules single file (the older format) aborting the whole rules and config scan.


• Fixed video input being dropped for models that support it.


• Fixed the workspace hint being sent for filesystem-root paths.


• Custom model info for OpenAI-Compatible providers now carries over into the seeded model catalog.


• Removed the "Enable R1 messages format" option from the OpenAI-Compatible provider.
