Auto Model Migration - when providers release newer versions, stale model selections are detected and migrated automatically across council members, chairman, direct chat, and comparison. A notification explains what changed. Session expiry notifications replace silent failures. Network timeouts prevent hangs. Bounded notification caches. Comfort settings - new Appearance controls let you adjust colour warmth and contrast to reduce eye strain. Background completion badges - conversations that finish processing while you’re elsewhere now show a notification badge. Non-chat model filtering - audio, search, and other non-chat model variants no longer appear in model pickers. HTML title decoding - conversation titles with special characters now display correctly. Dynamic model pricing - pricing data is fetched live from providers rather than using static values. Switching between conversations now reliably shows the right content. A bug where a recently completed conversation’s synthesis could appear inside a different conversation has been fixed. The chair retry button (“Generate Chair’s Report”) now surfaces clear error messages when the chairman model fails, instead of appearing unresponsive. Network requests fail faster when a provider is unreachable, so one slow model no longer stalls the full council for minutes. Bug fixes and stability improvements. Apple Intelligence is now the built-in on-device option on supported iPhones and iPads. It works out of the box with no setup and no cloud. Add cloud providers on top if you want a multi-model Council. Direct Chat: one-on-one conversations with any configured model, including Apple Intelligence. Compare View: send the same prompt to several models side by side and see how they differ. Prompt Library: save, tag, favourite, and reuse your best prompts. Document Workspace: attach a PDF, Markdown file, or plain-text document and chat about its contents. Web Search with eight providers and clickable source citations beneath every response. Smart Escalation: a quick model answers first, and heavier models are brought in only if the answer falls short. Image input on models that support it, and voice conversation with supported voices. Prompt Enhancer: tidy up a rambling prompt with one tap before you send it. Model Analytics and a full Decision Log of your past councils. Appearance and Colour Comfort: sliders for warmth, contrast, and saturation plus four one-tap presets, all synced across your devices via iCloud. Streaming chair responses, automatic retries on flaky networks, clearer error messages, and a softer setup flow that highlights Apple Intelligence working out of the box. Historical conversations now flag models you no longer have configured, so you understand why an older response references a model that has since been removed. The chair (synthesiser) list only shows models that are currently in your council, and resets any stale selection automatically on open.

New: Prompt Enhancer - Enhanced The Prompt Enhancer has been completely rebuilt as a stepped wizard. Instead of presenting all clarification questions at once, it now asks one focused question at a time with a clear progress indicator. Choose which AI model drives the enhancement, and optionally target a specific model so the output is optimised for its prompting style. The enhancer draws on over 10 prompt engineering frameworks - including RISEN, RADAR, Chain-of-Thought, and ReAct, to select the best approach for your prompt. Access it instantly from the new wand button in the message input bar. If something goes wrong during enhancement, you can now retry with the same model or switch to a different one without losing your progress. Bug Fixes - Fixed Anthropic API queries failing due to incorrect system message handling - Fixed Together AI API misconfiguration

Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue where some providers could not be used even when a valid API key was entered. API keys were saved correctly but the app failed to recognise these providers as configured, preventing model discovery and query execution. All 20 built-in providers now work as expected.
