## 🌟 Precision, Control, and Seamless Workflow

We are committed to providing a development environment that is not only powerful but also intuitive. This update brings smarter navigation, enhanced mobile accessibility, and finer control over your workspace.

#### New Features

**🔍 In-Terminal Search (Ctrl + F / Cmd ⌘ + F)**\
Stop wasting time scrolling through endless logs. You can now search for specific words or strings directly within the terminal using Ctrl + F (or Cmd ⌘ + F on macOS). This allows for near-instant log analysis and faster debugging.

#### Changes

**🐍 Modern Python Standard (python3)**\
The default `python` command is now updated to **python3**, ensuring your environment aligns with modern development practices right out of the box.

**⚡ Intelligent File Navigation**\
The **File Finder** now intelligently prioritizes your most recently accessed files, letting you resume your workflow in a split second.

**🛡️ Granular Privacy Control**\
New **Service Cookie Consent** settings are now available in the Account page and Workspace, allowing you to selectively manage exactly which data you share.

#### Deprecations

* **Git Ignore Management:** Removed the \[Ignore List] pop-up; please use a `.gitignore` file directly in your project.
* **Legacy Model Cleanup:** To focus our resources on peak performance and cutting-edge AI, we have deprecated several legacy models:

  * **GPT Series:** gpt-5.1, gpt-5, gpt-4.1, gpt-4.1-mini, gpt-o4-mini, gpt-o4-mini-high, gpt-o3
  * **Others:** gemini-2.5-pro, claude-3.5-sonnet

#### Minor Changes

**Changes**

* **Billing & Rewards Clarity:** Renamed "Mail notification" to **"Credit mail"** and added guides on earning extra credits through feedback.
* **Template Publishing Stability:** Action buttons(Run/Terminal) are now intelligently disabled during publishing with tooltips to prevent configuration errors.
* **One-Click Session Recovery:** Added a **\[Refresh]** button to all terminal tabs to restart any session instantly.
* **Streamlined Editor Workflow:** Added **\[Copy/Paste]** to the context menu and reorganized items for a faster coding rhythm.
* **Input Validation:** Disabled the **\[Add]** button for invalid storage entries (0 or empty) to prevent errors.
* **Attendance UI:** Enabled the floating daily check-in button and updated its color styling.
* **Reward Info:** Added a **"30-day validity"** label to the Daily check-in reward pop-up.
* **Checkout UI:** Refined the policy notice UI and copy on the mobile checkout page.
* **Date Labeling:** Added a **"Created"** prefix to dates in Container Settings for clearer tracking.
* **Mobile Optimization:** Updated the template list on the Landing page and improved the layout of the 'Create Template' page to provide a better experience in mobile environments.
* **Layout Tweaks:** Adjusted floating button placement on the Template page for better mobile balance.

**Bug Fixes**

* **Reliable Auto-Stop:** Fixed the bug where Auto-Stop failed to trigger during the initial container run, ensuring consistent and automated resource savings.
* **Seamless Side Chat Integration:** Fixed the bug where code wasn't immediately applied to the Editor via the \[Apply] button in the Workspace Side Chat, ensuring a fluid sync.
* **Polished Workspace UI:** Fixed the bug where the Workspace Side Chat toggle button border was clipped, providing a cleaner and more professional visual experience.
* **Enhanced Session Stability:** Blocked Workspace access while a container is "Stopping" to prevent unstable sessions and potential data errors.
* **Fluid Resource Transitions:** Fixed the bug where containers remained stuck in the "Inactivating" status, ensuring smoother transitions between active and idle states.
* **Accurate Dashboard Info:** Updated the Dashboard Side Chat to provide real-time domain information, eliminating confusion caused by outdated data.
* **Full Template Utilization:** Fixed the bug where saved commands weren't copied when creating containers from templates, making it easier to fully leverage pre-configured environments.
* **Clearer User Onboarding:** Improved sign-up feedback to clearly indicate when a phone number is already in use, simplifying the registration process.
