Kavor 1.2.0

Highlights

• Adds rich File Node previews for images and PDFs. Large PDFs render only the visible pages, while bounded image, canvas, and file limits protect the Workspace from unbounded memory use.
• Completes File and Specification lifecycle workflows: create a Specification from the Canvas menu, rename or delete sources from their Workspace surfaces, organize folders, and keep existing Nodes synchronized with filesystem changes.
• Lets paths from the Files panel be dropped directly into Terminal and CodingAgent sessions with quoting matched to the active shell.
• Expands atomic Canvas proposals with Specification creation, persisted application progress, and recovery of reversible File and Specification side effects.
• Makes every available Kavor Skill advertise the exact kavor.skill.get("<name>") call a CodingAgent uses to load it.

Fixes

• Preserves custom YAML frontmatter fields, comments, order, filenames, and Workspace-relative paths when editing Specifications.
• Stabilizes Terminal and CodingAgent hydration so delayed PTY state does not lose restored content or duplicate ownership during Workspace changes.
• Keeps Sticky Note appends as distinct Markdown blocks, avoids creating a revision for an empty append, and applies text limits by Unicode code point.
• Hardens File and Specification mutations with serialized Workspace changes, path containment, source invalidation, and explicit failure handling.
• Resolves the production dependency advisories present in the previous dependency graph.

Installation

Download Kavor from https://download.agentkavor.com. The page detects the current platform and also exposes all available packages.

• Windows x64 uses the assisted per-User NSIS installer. The installer is currently unsigned, so Microsoft SmartScreen may require explicit confirmation.
• macOS 13+ provides separate arm64 and x64 DMGs. Builds are ad-hoc signed but not notarized; follow the download page's Gatekeeper instructions. Kavor-managed updates use the matching architecture-specific ZIP and expose an explicit coordinated restart after the cached artifact is revalidated. The manual download remains available at all times.
• Linux x64 provides AppImage and DEB packages. AppImage supports Kavor-managed updates with an explicit coordinated restart; DEB updates are installed manually from the download page.

Known limitations

• Windows ARM64 and Linux ARM64 packages are not included until their native PTY, SQLite, process-containment, and packaged-runtime gates can run on matching CI environments.
• Windows direct downloads do not yet have an Authenticode publisher certificate.
• macOS packages do not yet have Developer ID signing or notarization. Gatekeeper may require manual confirmation, and replacing an ad-hoc build may cause macOS to request access to Kavor Safe Storage in Keychain again.
• Microsoft Store distribution is not part of this release.
