Synara 0.3.3
VS Code from the Microsoft Store opens correctly on Windows — Synara can now launch VS Code Store installs through the right Windows app identity and URI fallback, so editor buttons work even when the normal
codecommand is unavailable.Editor launch discovery now understands Windows packaged app metadata, adds VS Code and VS Code Insiders Store coverage, falls back from command launch to URI activation, and keeps file-manager launches isolated from editor-specific behavior.
Provider update checks are now optional — A new settings toggle lets you disable provider update checks when you want Synara to stay quieter about external CLI versions.
Provider health, server settings, app settings migration, settings search, root notifications, and provider update filtering now share the same
enableProviderUpdateChecksflag so background update notices respect the user's preference.The app icon and Synara mark look cleaner — The desktop, web, marketing, and release assets were refreshed so the Synara icon renders more consistently across macOS, Windows, browser favicons, and update artifacts.
This release refreshes the inline Synara logo path, replaces generated icon assets from the full source image, corrects macOS bundle icon handling after the rounded-icon Ventura pass, and removes a literal Dock-icon workaround that was not the final direction.
Workspace browsing feels more unified — Workspace explorer navigation, file-row presentation, diff stat labels, and shortcut settings now use more shared behavior, making file browsing and review surfaces easier to scan.
Explorer keyboard navigation moved into shared logic with coverage, DockExplorerPane and workspaceExplorer were simplified, keyboard shortcut settings gained a clearer panel, and file/diff row styling now lines up with the rest of the workspace UI.
Idle server polling is lighter — Synara polls local server state less aggressively while idle, reducing background work without changing the active-session refresh path.
The server React Query helper now separates active and idle refresh intervals, the sidebar uses the calmer idle cadence, and focused tests cover the interval behavior.
Release gates caught a few small compatibility fixes — The v0.3.3 release pass tightened formatting, settings test coverage, and Effect API compatibility before publishing.
The release check formatted recent Windows editor-launch and desktop artifact code, updated the web settings push fixture for provider update checks, and switched one editor fallback path from
Effect.catchAllto the Effect API used by this workspace.
