Tolaria 2027.8.28

New Features
- 🪟 Separate app windows for separate vaults — Opening a vault can now create an independent Tolaria application instance with its own runtime state, window identity, and vault lifecycle.
- 📊 Core editor performance harness — Added a reusable performance regression harness for large-note/editor workflows, including thresholds, statistics, traces, and CI-facing guardrails.
- 🧭 Bottom-bar vault switching polish — Improved the vault switcher/status-bar structure, including clearer menu behavior and reusable vault-list components.
- 🧩 CircleCI shadow pipeline groundwork — Added CircleCI release/CI orchestration docs and config so release gates can be observed outside the primary GitHub Actions path.
Improvements
- ⚡ More responsive inspector and Git history — Moved blocking Git history work off the editor path and reduced unnecessary inspector refresh churn while preserving current-note context during refresh.
- 🎨 Workspace color contract cleanup — Consolidated workspace color handling and removed dynamic lookup paths that could make color behavior harder to reason about.
- 🛡️ Fail-closed performance gates — Tightened the performance/security gate behavior so regressions are surfaced deterministically instead of silently passing.
- 📚 Expanded public docs and bundled agent docs — Updated app/site documentation for rich editor, AI, media previews, Git, keyboard shortcuts, getting-started vaults, and documentation maintenance. …

New Features
- 🧩 Safe HTML Blocks — Notes can now include sandboxed HTML blocks for small dashboards, demos, and custom visualizations while keeping execution isolated from the vault and app shell.
- ✅ Todo Block Shortcut — Cmd+T now toggles the current editor block between normal text and a todo/checklist block, making quick task capture feel native while writing.
- 🤖 GitHub Copilot Agent Target — Tolaria now supports GitHub Copilot CLI as another local AI agent option alongside the existing supported agent targets.
- 🧰 Contribute Panel Refinements — The contribution experience has been tightened so users can more easily understand how to support and participate in Tolaria.
Improvements
- 📝 More Reliable Markdown Editing — Large-note parsing, Mermaid preservation, code block indentation, saved markdown escaping, and empty checklist handling are more robust.
- 🗂️ Better Vault Organization Flows — Nested folder creation, note retargeting, folder drag/drop, root moves, and path-style wikilinks with underscores received focused improvements.
- 🧠 Smoother AI Workflows — AI commit-message drafting, workspace conversation settings, quick prompt submission, and provider targeting were made more dependable.
- 🧱 Cleaner Editor Commands — Block type conversion, side-menu structure, current-block detection, and recovery around editor edge cases are steadier.
Stability and Fixes
- Restored WebKit code block highlighting and tightened packaged PDF preview behavior. …

Improvements
- 🧭 Sharper Menus and Tooltips — Sidebar, folder, type, and note-list context menus now stay better constrained in narrow or zoomed layouts, with shared positioning logic and more resilient tooltip rendering.
- 🧪 Stronger Release Gates — Frontend coverage can now run in shards through the chunk sidecar lane, with hardened local sidecar scripts and hook behavior for faster, more reliable pre-release validation.
- 📝 More Reliable Editing — Title focus/selection, fresh-title paste handling, IME punctuation, image links, AI input scrolling, and frontmatter undo after note rename all received targeted stability fixes.
- 🔗 Better Path Resolution — Windows MCP script paths, Windows wikilinks, note-relative attachment images, and vault image lookup now resolve more consistently across platforms.
Stability and Fixes
- Code block handling is safer: markdown highlighting preserves equality operators and the outline ignores headings inside fenced code blocks.
- WebKit compatibility was improved for AI responses, GFM markdown rendering, and NotFoundError recovery variants.
- Git author identity lookup is now asynchronous and preserved more reliably in the commit dialog.
- Stale Tldraw block lookups, stale Tauri listener cleanup reports, action tooltip render failures, referenced type deletion, block type mismatch transforms, folder rename blur state, and raw editor tab-swap restore guards were hardened. …
