[Unreleased]

Added

• Comprehensive documentation suite including guides for architecture, configuration, testing, and more.
• Rustdoc examples for core components like Provider and SessionController.
• Module-level documentation for owlen-tui.
• Provider integration tests (crates/owlen-providers/tests) covering registration, routing, and health status handling for the new ProviderManager.
• TUI message and generation tests that exercise the non-blocking event loop, background worker, and message dispatch.
• Ollama integration can now talk to Ollama Cloud when an API key is configured.
• Ollama provider will also read OLLAMA_API_KEY / OLLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY environment variables when no key is stored in the config.
• owlen config doctor, owlen config path, and owlen upgrade CLI commands to automate migrations and surface manual update steps.
• Startup provider health check with actionable hints when Ollama or remote MCP servers are unavailable.
• dev/check-windows.sh helper script for on-demand Windows cross-checks.
• Global F1 keybinding for the in-app help overlay and a clearer status hint on launch.
• Automatic fallback to the new ansi_basic theme when the active terminal only advertises 16-color support.
• Offline provider shim that keeps the TUI usable while primary providers are unreachable and communicates recovery steps inline.
• owlen cloud subcommands (setup, status, models, logout) for managing Ollama Cloud credentials without hand-editing config files.
• Tabbed model selector that separates local and cloud providers, including cloud indicators in the UI.
• Footer status line includes provider connectivity/credential summaries (e.g., cloud auth failures, missing API keys).
• Secure credential vault integration for Ollama Cloud API keys when privacy.encrypt_local_data = true.
• Input panel respects a new ui.input_max_rows setting so long prompts expand predictably before scrolling kicks in.
• Command palette offers fuzzy :model filtering and :provider completions for fast switching.
• Message rendering caches wrapped lines and throttles streaming redraws to keep the TUI responsive on long sessions.
• Model picker badges now inspect provider capabilities so vision/audio/thinking models surface the correct icons even when descriptions are sparse.
• Chat history honors ui.scrollback_lines, trimming older rows to keep the TUI responsive and surfacing a "↓ New messages" badge whenever updates land off-screen.

Changed

• The main README.md has been updated to be more concise and link to the new documentation.
• Default configuration now pre-populates both providers.ollama and providers.ollama-cloud entries so switching between local and cloud backends is a single setting change.
• McpMode support was restored with explicit validation; remote_only, remote_preferred, and local_only now behave predictably.
• Configuration loading performs structural validation and fails fast on missing default providers or invalid MCP definitions.
• Ollama provider error handling now distinguishes timeouts, missing models, and authentication failures.
• owlen warns when the active terminal likely lacks 256-color support.
• config.toml now carries a schema version (1.2.0) and is migrated automatically; deprecated keys such as agent.max_tool_calls trigger warnings instead of hard failures.
• Model selector navigation (Tab/Shift-Tab) now switches between local and cloud tabs while preserving selection state.
• Header displays the active model together with its provider (e.g., Model (Provider)), improving clarity when swapping backends.
• Documentation refreshed to cover the message handler architecture, the background health worker, multi-provider configuration, and the new provider onboarding checklist.
