- Added a windowed `SpeedTracker` to report average tokens-per-second during reasoning streams.
- Updated thinking animation from a dot pulse to a starburst effect with a dynamic speed badge.
- Engineered badges to fade from gray to accent color based on streaming throughput.
- Implemented automatic badge suppression during streaming lulls or for providers without live usage reporting.
- Added session-wide reset logic to prevent rate leaking between consecutive message turns.
- Added advisor context maintenance hook and token estimation before prompting for auto-upkeep.
- Added re-prime replay handling to reset advisor context and recover deferred prompts.
- Implemented session-level context compaction with model promotion and snapcompact-first fallback summarization.
- Surfaced advisor settings in the model tab and updated advisor system guidance text.
Render a breathing dots pulse (·‥…‥) in place of a hidden thinking block while the model is actively reasoning, so streaming progress is visible with hideThinkingBlock enabled. The pulse shows only while the block is live (not finalized), thinking is hidden, no tool call has started, and the tail block is thinking; it yields to streamed text and is removed when the block is sealed.
- Dropped blank lines, capped at 8 lines, and width-truncated each line so a proxy 502's HTML body can't flood the transcript.
- Mirrored the pinned error banner's preview behavior; full text still kept in the persisted session.
