Lataa CodeWhale 0.8.46

Added
- CODEWHALE_* env aliases. CODEWHALE_PROVIDER, CODEWHALE_MODEL, and CODEWHALE_BASE_URL are public product-scoped aliases that take precedence over the legacy DEEPSEEK_* forms. The DEEPSEEK_* names remain accepted for back-compat.
- Platform archive bundles. Release artifacts now ship as per-platform archives (tar.gz for Linux/macOS, .zip for Windows) containing both codewhale and codewhale-tui binaries plus an install script. No more downloading two loose files and guessing which ones to pick (#2193).
- Windows portable archive. codewhale-windows-x64-portable.zip ships the two binaries without an install script for USB-stick distribution (#2193).
- Web install download tile. The website install page now shows a platform-aware download tile with arch detection, SHA256 checksum display, and China mirror links, instead of burying the download behind the Cargo instructions (#2192).
- Whale dark palette refresh. Better contrast and layer separation across the TUI color scheme (#2197).
- Auto-collapse finished sub-agents. Completed sub-agent sessions now collapse automatically in the sidebar, reducing noise during long sessions (#2195).
- Shell-running status chip. A ⏳ shell running chip appears in the TUI footer while background shell tasks are active (#2194).
- Sandbox process hardening (Linux). PR_SET_DUMPABLE=0, NO_NEW_PRIVS, and RLIMIT_CORE=0 are applied at shell startup to harden child processes against inspection and privilege escalation (#2183).
- CONTRIBUTING.md cross-links. Issue and PR templates are now cross-linked from CONTRIBUTING.md to improve contributor onboarding (#2203).
Changed
- DeepSeek-first focus. v0.8.46 refocuses on delivering the highest-quality experience on DeepSeek first. Additional first-class provider paths are planned for v0.9.0 after the core DeepSeek workflow is solid.
Fixed
- Model name casing preserved. normalize_model_name_for_provider no longer lowercases user-set model names such as DeepSeek-V4-Flash, preventing API lookup failures on case-sensitive backends (#2109).
- Esc in model picker applies selection. Dismissing the model picker with Esc now applies the last-highlighted choice instead of reverting (#2196).
- Web install downloads both binaries. The install-binary.tsx snippet now fetches both codewhale and codewhale-tui, fixing the MISSING_COMPANION_BINARY trap on fresh npm installs (#2191).
- grep_files skips large directories. The pure-Rust search tool now skips known-large directories (.git, node_modules, target) before walking, preventing hangs on deep or slow filesystems.
- Version-update hint uses semver. The update notification in the footer now compares versions semantically instead of lexicographically, so 0.8.10 > 0.8.9 is recognized correctly.
- CVE-2026-8723 in feishu-bridge. Bumped qs to >=6.15.2 in the Feishu bridge integration (#2198).
