Hot-plugged physical uplink detection and self-healing
- Resolve recovery deadlock where disconnecting hotspot/Wi-Fi and plugging in an Ethernet cable left the tunnel permanently stuck in waiting for recovery.
- Introduce Darwin hardware enumeration (if_nameindex()) and macOS ServiceOrder prioritization, bypassing the silent blindspot of sandboxed NWPathMonitor during reassertion.
- Strictly filter out virtual and container prefixes (feth, bridge, utun, vmenet, lo) to prevent misidentification of Docker/OrbStack interfaces from failing core reset.
Host recovery watchdog and auto-healing
- Arm a 45-second host-level recovery watchdog whenever the tunnel enters the recovering state.
- Automatically perform a graceful reconnect if the system extension remains wedged in recovery, eliminating the need for manual restarts.
Profiles page native grouped list redesign
- Overhaul the configuration profiles view into an Apple-native grouped list, eliminating metadata duplication and visual clutter.
- Streamline active and inactive profile management with clean, elegant visual hierarchy.
Zero-layout-shift Hero card and fluid luminous bar
- Completely remove the 3-stage progress step bar to permanently lock Hero card height with absolute zero layout shift regardless of connection duration.
- Preserve the fluid luminous energy sweep bar and ambient breathing status lens for seamless visual feedback.
Proxy node order stabilization and speedtest fixes
- Anchor proxy node card ordering to follow original configuration declarations, preventing card jumping during latency sweeps.
- Fix node latency test timeouts and cascade latency updates properly to parent strategy groups.
Virtual machine full regression verification
- Pass full acceptance matrix across all 6 engine and routing modes in Tart VM with 0 failures.
- Verify 8-second physical link disconnection self-healing in guest with instant coreReset and zero process restarts.
- Verify screen lock connection continuity with zero reconnects and seamless keep-alive across both engines.
- Verify 100% pass across all AI desktop applications and API endpoints in both TUN and Transparent Proxy modes.
Release information
- This stable package uses the normal production core, is Developer ID signed and Apple notarized, and contains no QA auto-connect.
- Authorized by the maintainer for stable release following 100% pass across all virtual machine test suites.
