* feat(electron): add Linux AppImage releases * ci: cache Linux OpenCode CLI artifacts * fix(ci): await Linux release inventory check * fix(electron): add frameless window controls on Linux desktop Linux AppImages were created without native WM decorations and without in-app controls, leaving users unable to close the window with a mouse. Treat Linux like Windows: frameless BrowserWindow plus the existing WindowsWindowControls header buttons and app-menu entry. macOS keeps hidden title bar with traffic lights unchanged. Shared usesFramelessElectronChrome() helper drives main window, mini chat, header insets, and titlebar controls.

Wire frameless chrome controls in Header, TitlebarLeftControls, and MiniChatLayout, plus a Sessions settings control for Windows and Linux desktop shells.

OpenChamber VS Code Extension

What you get

- Agent Manager — run the same prompt across multiple models in parallel, compare results side by side
- Right-click actions — add context, explain selections, and improve code in-place
- Click-to-open — file paths in tool output open directly in your editor; edit-style results land in a focused diff view
- Session editor panel — keep chat sessions open alongside files
- Theme-aware — adapts to your VS Code light, dark, and high-contrast themes
Plus everything from the shared OpenChamber UI: branchable timeline, smart tool UIs, voice mode, Git workflows, and more.
