Changelog
Release notes for Notomo.
- Added a unified model picker for Assistant, Settings, and Inline AI's “Retry with Model” flow, with clearer model grouping and selected-state handling.
- Added per-model reasoning preferences so Assistant, Inline AI, and chat titles can keep the reasoning setting that fits each selected model.
- Fixed reasoning sync when switching models, changing settings, or retrying Inline AI so each model uses its own saved reasoning choice.
- Preserved the lightweight default for chat title generation so automatic titles do not accidentally use heavier reasoning settings.
- Polished the assistant `@` picker so longer skill lists scroll more smoothly and the highlighted item stays visible while you move through suggestions.
- Fixed the assistant `@` picker so a selected skill mention no longer reopens the picker when you delete the trailing space after it.
