Usage 0.32.6

During long conversations with AI, you often need to keep an eye on whether usage is nearing capacity limits.

The context window now determines its color based on total capacity. Usage turns yellow at 50% or 200K tokens (units of text used for AI processing and billing), and turns red at 80% or 400K tokens, whichever threshold is reached first. With a 1M context window, usage turns yellow at roughly 20%; for a 200K context window, the color thresholds remain unchanged. Claude Code sidebar panel alerts have also switched to these new rules from the previous 70% and 85% marks, keeping colors between the sidebar panel and status line fully consistent.

If you prefer crisp answers from AI, turning on concise mode makes responses noticeably clear and punchy.

Concise mode now enforces one idea per sentence, strictly adopts the active voice, and applies consistent terms for the same concept. Response length is also capped by language: 30 characters for Chinese, 40 characters for Japanese and Korean, and roughly 20 words for English. The concise mode hook (a small program triggered by a specific event) handling this feature has been upgraded to version 1.7, and installed copies will automatically update on the next application launch.

After pasting extensive code and screenshots into a conversation, seeing a usage warning often leaves you wondering which content type is consuming capacity.

The status line appears at the very bottom of the terminal. When context (the content AI can refer to in a conversation) usage numbers turn yellow or red, the status line actively displays image counts alongside estimated proportions for read files and command output, such as Images 3 · Files & commands 22%. If this percentage is high, it recommends starting a new conversation session. When status line space runs out, this breakdown information is omitted first. The status line hook (a small program triggered by a specific event) has been upgraded to 1.14, and installed copies will update on the next application launch.

Whenever the application updates automatically, you often want to verify which features changed.

When you launch the application for the first time after an update, a release notes prompt appears on screen and shows only once. Fresh installations will not display this prompt, and if there is no internet connection at startup, it will try again on the next launch. This feature is supported across macOS and Windows. Each change in the update prompt takes only one line; Chinese users see Traditional Chinese descriptions, while other users see English. Because the prompt window is rendered by your currently installed version, multilingual release notes will officially take effect starting with the update prompt in the subsequent release.

If you manually verify application security after downloading on macOS, invalid signatures may have previously caused checks to fail.

The packaging process now performs digital signing again after clearing bytecode caches. Downloaded application copies can now pass codesign --verify verification without issue, restoring valid code signatures.
