Smoother, more reliable chat with clearer thinking animations and everyday polish. • Thinking animations are now much easier to follow — geometric ripples replace the old fire effect, with better visibility and pace while Torch works on your request. • Your conversation stays steady: tapped suggestions and chips highlight and stay in place as part of the thread, the view doesn't jump around, and scrolling keeps the right message pinned. • Job lists and cards render cleanly — numbered items (like "1. Jobs") no longer wrap awkwardly to the next line. • Banners and headers feel more polished with a softer, darker navy fill. • Prompt choices, overviews, and guided tours are clearer and more consistent, with better button options when Torch offers next steps. • The chat input area is cleaner and the send/wait coins are easier to read.
