[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.
• 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.

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 (1.1.0) 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.
