## App

### New
- Chat: Ctrl/Cmd+L now adds the selected text to the chat input, or focuses it when nothing is selected; the toggle-sidebar shortcut moved to Ctrl/Cmd+Alt+L.

### Improvements
- **Providers:** signing in to an OAuth-only provider now actually completes — the browser login is stored and the provider list updates instead of remaining signed out. OAuth-only providers show a Connect flow instead of an API key form, and their models stay hidden until you are signed in.
- Providers: sign-ins that need extra details (such as GitHub Copilot Enterprise) now ask for them before opening the browser, and device codes come with a working copy button.
- Chat: a manually chosen model now stays selected after a delegated subtask finishes, instead of reverting to the agent's default model.

### Fixes
- **Sessions:** archived sessions can now be restored to the active list — from the sidebar context menu, the archived-sessions page, or the bulk-selection bar — instead of only offering permanent deletion (thanks to @makeittech).
- Walkthrough: models without a working provider login no longer appear in the walkthrough picker, and Generate stays disabled until a usable model is selected instead of failing with a raw provider error.
- Walkthrough: connecting to a server older than the app now says the server needs updating instead of showing a raw HTML parsing error, and the "Critical" tag is now "Key change" with a tooltip so it no longer reads as a problem found in your code.
- Agents/CLI: sending a prompt that never reaches its session is now reported as failed, and an unavailable model, agent, or variant is rejected with a clear error before anything is created.
- Desktop/Linux: "Open in Terminal" no longer launches a non-terminal app that is set as the terminal launcher (thanks to @kydorn).
