1.26.49

October 23, 2026

Control over shell commands, a Quick model for short checks, shared folders, and a reader for your AI chats.

New

  • Shell commands, controlled three ways. AUX and AMP sheets, the command line, and the ampintake folder each have their own setting: Deny, Standard, or Extended. The command line and ampintake folder can also be Unrestricted.
  • Ask AI for the ampintake folder. Your local AI describes the command and rates it (Non-destructive, Destructive, Trusted installation, Unrecognized installation, External connection, System-level change, or Unknown). You choose Y or N in the system log before anything runs. If the AI isn't running, you can still decide.
  • Quick Model and Main Model. The Main Model is whatever is loaded in LM Studio. The Quick Model is a smaller model you choose for short checks. LM Studio loads it when asked, and the Main Model answers if it can't be used.
  • Shared folders. @user and @docs are built in. You can add your own @name folders in Settings, read-only or read and write. Sheet paths now start at the project root with a leading /, and drive letters and .. are refused.
  • Command line. A CLI toggle beside SEND runs a command and records it like any other run.
  • Chat Reader. Read your saved AI chats by day in History, with a DIGEST button in AUX that sends a one-step summary of a chat.
  • The ampintake folder is created for you when AMP is connected.

Improved

  • Recording sheets in AI Chat and AUX are found by their key fields, so code that contains braces no longer confuses them.
  • The welcome tour covers every tab, explains Dubs and Ctrl-Z, and remembers that you have seen it.
  • Auto REC names the reason when it pauses, and its countdown starts on the first REC button.
  • Dubs has a new tape rack in Studio (wood frame, felt back) and Cruise, with glare and shadow on each case.
  • TulleN scans your Tulle folders, keeps a lifetime conversion tally, and supports groups. Store features that are not live yet say "Coming soon."
  • Updated documents: the Recording Contract (path rules and shell actions) and the Onboarding Guide.

Fixed

  • The welcome tour no longer comes back after you skip it or choose not to show it again.
  • In the Editor, Find now scrolls to the match, so pressing Enter afterward no longer makes the view jump.

1.26.48

October 2, 2026

A redesigned AI Chat, project management, and clearer History.

New

  • AI Chat redesigned. A two-page display (the conversation, then the model, address and settings), six conversation starters that share the right documents with your AI, and a contracts list drawn from the docs folder. Your chat survives a refresh.
  • Projects. Remove and restore projects from Settings. Removed projects stay out of the index.
  • Editor. Your Nodarama user folder appears above the project, for opening and saving files.

Improved

  • History shows code changes as a readable diff, failed runs read as failed, and rejected sheets show the sheet that was attempted.
  • AI Chat folds replies and code blocks by default with filename summaries, confirms the destination file inline, and lets you edit a sheet before sending it.
  • When a sheet is missing a field, the message says what the sheet sent instead.
  • Ctrl-Z has a new stereo background, header buttons are outline glass, scrollbars never have a background (in Verbatim and AUX), and hovering a Dubs cassette shows its full path.
