Summary

New Features

Claude Sonnet 4.6 support — added claude-sonnet-4-6 as a selectable model in the config sidebar
Anime girl characters for subagents — each subagent in the agent monitor is automatically assigned one of six characters (Amari, Keiko, Minori, Reina, Tatsumi, Yumiko) with a unique name, CDN avatar, title, and lore-flavoured description; assignment avoids duplicates when possible
"Meet the Team" cast panel — a new modal accessible from the status bar introduces the full cast: Naomi (Chief hEx-ecutive Officer), Hikari (Chief Operating Officer), and the six subagent girls with their C-suite titles and character bios

Bug Fixes

"Already running" error on invalid working directory — if a spawned Claude process exits unexpectedly (e.g. because the working directory doesn't exist), try_wait() now detects the stale handle and clears it before allowing a restart
Working directory pre-validation — on Windows, the app now runs wsl -e test -d <dir> before launching Claude; invalid directories surface a clear error immediately
WSL binary detection — on Windows, wsl -e bash -lc "which claude" is used to probe for the Claude binary inside WSL; on Linux/WSLg, bash -lc "which claude" is used as a login-shell fallback so GUI apps find the binary even without shell PATH
WSL detection fix for production builds — detect_wsl() now short-circuits at compile time on Windows targets, preventing inherited WSL_DISTRO_NAME env vars from misrouting native Windows binaries through the Linux code path

feat: add Claude Sonnet 4.6 model support a79808641b

Adds claude-sonnet-4-6 to the model dropdown (marked Recommended),
pricing tables (frontend and backend), and context window limits
(1M token window).

fix: resolve 'already running' error after invalid working directory dd95750a8d

When a non-existent directory is given on Windows/WSL, the wsl process
spawns but bash exits immediately after the cd fails. The stale child
handle was never cleared, causing the next connection attempt to fail
with "Process already running".

- Clean up stale process handles in start() via try_wait()
- Pre-validate the working directory via wsl test -d before spawning

feat: add Windows WSL binary detection for Claude Code b8aefef071

Replaces the commented-out Linux-only `which claude` check with a
platform-aware binary detection strategy:

- Windows path: probes inside WSL via `wsl -e bash -lc "which claude"`
- Linux/WSL path: uses find_claude_binary() to search Linux filesystem paths

Updates tests to match the correct per-platform detection logic.

fix: correct WSL detection and binary lookup for GUI context 0abf410aa9

- detect_wsl() now short-circuits on Windows builds (cfg! compile-time
  check), preventing inherited WSL_DISTRO_NAME from routing a native
  Windows .exe through the Linux code path
- find_claude_binary() no longer early-exits when HOME is unset; falls
  back to bash -lc "which claude" so GUI apps (which don't inherit
  shell PATH) can still locate the binary via the login shell

feat: assign anime girl characters to subagents in agent monitor d605ea15a1

Each subagent is given a unique anime girl name and avatar when it
starts, drawn from a six-character pool (Amari, Keiko, Minori, Reina,
Tatsumi, Yumiko). Names are assigned without repetition until all six
are taken, then reused. The agent monitor panel displays the character
avatar and name alongside the subagent type badge.
