Tempest v0.1.8

A small release that sharpens the core workflow. No new surfaces — just the everyday paths of spawning a session and moving around the sidebar made quicker and cleaner.

What's in this release

Branch sessions spawn instantly

Opening a Branch tab used to wait on git worktree add before rendering anything, leaving the work area blank for a second or two. Now the tab renders an optimistic placeholder row the moment you click — mirroring how the Main tab already behaves — and swaps in the real worktree once creation returns. The lag is gone; the tab is there immediately.

Threads dropdown polish

The Threads dropdown in the sidebar now reads as part of the same family as the branch list. It has its own dedicated styling rather than borrowing the generic session-row look, so:

• Text matches the size of the branch list and its dropdowns.
• The left indent is tightened so thread rows sit where you expect.
• The + to add a thread lines up exactly with the + on branch rows — same position, same icon size.

Small alignment work, but it's the difference between the sidebar feeling hand-assembled and feeling coherent.

Platform Support

Windows requires WebView2 (bundled automatically when necessary).

What's next

Unchanged from v0.1.7 — Live quota and Automations remain the carried-forward commitments, alongside the CLI-agent chat backend.
