-Adjustable reasoning depth (1–6): missions run a six-phase process you can tune, pause at Edit Slots, and chain together. - On-device reasoning option for private, offline-capable inference. - Smart tool autonomy: standard/smart/manual modes with budgets — the app knows when to proceed, ask, or stop. - Super Mode relay: connect Archimedes and route coding missions to your own execution host; create GitHub PRs with explicit confirmation. - Save any answer as a Dude Skip, jump to latest in long chats, paste provider docs to auto-configure parameters. - Reliability: fixed an iPad crash during long streams; tool results survive interruptions; streams can no longer hang; reasoning receipts are tamper-evident (content-hash sealing); mission status never masks degraded runs; landscape layouts restored.
