Conversation history and reload

Since 1.0.3 Stable and the following Beta, native chats restore their full projected conversation from the server. The recent-history pager, Go to first message loader and private IndexedDB detail cache introduced in 1.0.2 have been removed. This change does not truncate stored conversations or exports.

Reload and reconnect

Recovery snapshots include the last projected rollback or revert. Messages removed while a client was disconnected do not reappear when it reconnects. Ordinary refreshes still preserve newer streamed text. A displayed transcript alone is not proof that a provider turn is live; inspect its current state before retrying a send.

Stable and Beta retain separate identities, browser profiles and data homes. See Synara Beta for their channel boundaries.

Imported provider history

Imported conversations keep their separate Load earlier messages control. It reads older provider history without sending a turn or changing native context. Temporary capacity errors retry with backoff; a loading error offers retry while keeping messages already shown.

Work labels

Active turns show Working for with a live duration. Finished work folds into Worked for above the final answer; expand it to read the tools and narration. Disabling finished-turn folding keeps that work visible. Labels follow your chat font size, without model badges or completion icons.

Long conversations in 1.0.4

Chat opening and switching do less layout work. Row heights use content-aware estimates and reuse measured heights only where the message and presentation are still compatible. The server still supplies the full projected conversation; this does not reintroduce the removed history pager or private detail cache.

The transcript follows growing content while you remain at the bottom. Scrolling up releases follow, including while tools run. Background task and Monitor completions arriving during active work stay within that response instead of splitting it into a second turn.

Task-heavy conversations in 1.0.5

Opening a conversation with many task updates resolves task state without repeated quadratic scans. Stale measurements from rows that have left the transcript are ignored. These fixes address specific query and layout cases, not every server or provider stall.

Recovery snapshot before message edit

Starting with 1.0.7, editing a message that restores an earlier Git workspace retains a recovery snapshot before rolling back the provider conversation. If capture fails, Synara refuses the edit before that rollback. The snapshot remains after successful replay or a later failure, including after restart; it does not add a transcript activity row.

Before attempting recovery, stop writers and preserve the current workspace. The server log entry edit replay workspace recovery snapshot retained identifies the exact checkpoint ref. You can list these refs without changing files:

git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' refs/synara/checkpoints

Recovery refs contain /revert-rescue/. Identify the correct thread and snapshot from the log before inspecting it with git show <exact-ref>. Do not restore an arbitrary ref over current work. This covers files captured by the Git checkpoint; ignored files and paths outside that workspace are not guaranteed. See runtime recovery.
