Download GitHub Stars Manager 0.7.8

Two major additions in this release: Repository Release Downloads and a new Repository Q&A Assistant.
Version 0.7.8 makes it easier to inspect and download releases directly from any repository card, and introduces an evidence-driven assistant for concise, repository-specific questions.
Highlights
Repository Release Downloads
Open View releases from a repository card to browse the repository's current GitHub releases in a theme-aware side sheet. Each release includes paginated assets, release notes, and an optional AI-generated summary. Download uploaded assets or GitHub source archives directly in the browser, or send downloads to a configured RPC downloader.
New Repository Q&A Assistant — Early Access
The Repository Q&A Assistant is an early-stage feature. Failed retrievals, incomplete evidence, and unsuccessful answers may occur.
The assistant is designed for simple, focused questions about a single repository, such as its purpose, installation steps, documented features, or a small, clearly scoped implementation detail. Each chat session pins the repository to a specific commit and presents source-backed evidence where available.
Important limitation: the application does not index every file in the repository being queried. It is therefore not intended for complex, whole-codebase analysis, multi-file reasoning, debugging, or implementation planning. For those tasks, we recommend cloning the repository locally and using a mature coding agent of your choice.

Changes

| Pull request | Summary |
| ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| #302 | Added the View releases repository action, with a responsive release browser, paginated assets and release notes, lazy AI summaries, GitHub source ZIP/TAR archives, authenticated fallback fetching, and browser/RPC download support. |
| #303 | Introduced repository-scoped AI Q&A sessions with immutable commit-pinned, read-only GitHub evidence; local conversation history; model selection through existing AI settings; traceable tool activity; and clickable source provenance. |
| #305 | Stabilized the repository edit dialog by preserving in-progress drafts during background sync, preventing overlay click-through to repository cards, and providing a fixed header/footer with a dedicated scrollable content area. |
| #306 | Evolved Repository Q&A into an evidence-driven agent with an explicit evidence gate, progressive documentation/code retrieval, source-citation validation, configurable budgets for turns and reads, clearer execution timelines, and improved similarity-search relevance. |
