Improved

Keep Mac sync startup responsive while local diagnostics storage initializes.

Open macOS Settings deep links in the native Settings window.
Improve in-app chat connection recovery, composer focus, toolbar actions, and streaming diagnostics.
Generate concise in-app chat titles after the first AI response instead of using response snippets.
Recover Inbox after sidebar or deeplink selection instead of leaving it stuck loading.
Move Uni Chat connection and reconnecting status into the feed so the toolbar stays usable.
Polish Uni Chat message previews, reply context, loading states, and suggested reply controls.
Use native split-view sidebar chrome for the signed-in app shell.
Keep in-app chat sidebars in sync when threads change on another device.
Show reply previews in Uni Chat for mirrored iMessage and WhatsApp messages.
Improve sidebar window toolbar controls, spacing, and compact chat rows.

Improve Uni Chat message links, unavailable attachment hints, and suggested reply controls.
Show deleted WhatsApp messages as deleted instead of unavailable or stale content.
Preserve paragraph and list formatting in Symbiosis replies sent through iMessage.
Improve local iMessage connector identity so reinstalling the same app on the same Mac keeps stable health reporting while dev and production installs remain separate.
