### Highlights

- **Control UI overhaul:** conversations are easier to organize and work with side by side, with live Tasks, clearer chat controls, better usage and cost views, files, downloads, pairing, approvals, and Gateway health kept close to the conversation.
- **Easier setup from install to first chat:** guided setup provides clearer steps toward a working first chat, checks connections before saving them, and preserves earlier choices when setup is interrupted.
