The Weight of Stars

Mira pressed her palm against the viewport glass, watching the station's rings turn in silence. Three days since the signal. Three days since everything she understood about the void between stars became a question rather than an answer.

The data was clean — too clean, Osei had said, his fingers tracing the waveform like he could read its intentions through touch alone. No cosmic background noise. No drift. Just a pattern, deliberate and repeating, from a point in space where nothing should exist.

NEWUser Profiles & Social Featuresv2.50.0

Public profile pages at /u/username with banner images, stats dashboard, quote with attribution, bio, rich OpenGraph link preview cards, project portfolio, D&D character roster, and a wall/guestbook. Direct messaging between users with conversation list, unread badges, and sidebar integration.

NEWSettings Overhaul & Rolesv2.39.0

Split settings into User Settings (all users) and Admin Settings (admins only). Three-tier role system: Admin, Author, Guest. Collapsible sidebar with icon-only rail mode. Profile pictures with circular crop modal shown in chat. Author request flow with email notifications. Project visibility (public/private).

IMPROVEDLazy Tool Loadingv2.35.0

Daneel now only loads the tools relevant to your message instead of all 54 every time. Say "hey" and he chats with zero tools (fast, cheap). Ask about characters and he loads only the 6 character tools. This dramatically reduces token usage for cloud providers and stops local models from hallucinating tool calls on simple messages.
