Changelog

Improvements

• GARI’s streaming confidence indicator now works correctly end-to-end — it reflects the actual retrieval outcome for every turn rather than a stale result from a previous session
• GARI now correctly handles follow-up questions, rewrites, and draft replies that do not require inbox context — these no longer silently fail or produce misleading disclosures
• AI error codes are now distinct and machine-readable, enabling more precise failure reporting and telemetry

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a brief UI freeze and stale-conversation flicker when switching between saved GARI conversations: cancel-aware DB load, in-flight deduplication guard, and account-switch state hygiene
• Fixed GARI producing stale grounding disclosures when retrieval context carried over from a previous turn instead of reflecting the current one
• Fixed a sync edge case where reordered page writes during large mailbox backfill could leave the sync cursor pointing at an already-superseded position, causing subsequent syncs to re-paginate from the wrong place
• Hardened account-switch safety during sync: if an account identity cannot be confirmed at checkpoint time, the cursor write is skipped rather than risking a write to the wrong account’s sync record

New Features

• GARI intent classification now resolves multi-word queries like “draft a reply” and “emails from today” locally, reducing AI round-trips
• GARI now recognizes out-of-scope queries (weather, news, shopping, math, recipes) and deflects them cleanly instead of showing a generic “please rephrase” prompt

Improvements

• Email rendering now more faithfully preserves the author’s original design: background colors, image gallery layouts, Outlook-formatted newsletters, and HTML background attributes all display correctly
• Emails with complex CSS — including @media queries and author-defined fonts — now render as intended instead of being stripped down
• Per-email image loading is now smarter: images up to 5 MB load inline (8 MB absolute cap) so hero images in marketing emails no longer appear broken
• HTML email security tightened further: CSS stylesheet content inside emails is now sanitized on all code paths, including the fallback renderer; inline data: URLs are evaluated on an allowlist rather than a denylist, closing a class of bypass techniques
• Accessibility attributes in HTML emails (aria-*, role, tabindex) are now preserved so screen readers interpret email structure correctly
• GARI AI responses are no longer fabricated when there is no supporting context — the assistant waits until it has relevant email data before answering

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a startup memory explosion that could cause the app to use excessive amounts of virtual memory
• Fixed email minimum font size setting not applying in some layouts
• Fixed cases where loading a new account’s emails briefly showed a previous account’s WebView content

Improvements

• Certificate pinning hardened to a strict fail-closed policy — the app now refuses connections to mail and API servers that cannot be verified, closing a potential man-in-the-middle exposure
• All Google API endpoints (Gmail, Contacts, AI) are now fully covered by certificate verification
• Microsoft account error messages are scrubbed of personal information before they appear in logs
• Error reporting no longer stores raw error descriptions that may contain email addresses or account details
• 18 settings options that were visible but had no effect are now fully wired and working, including GARI panel width, battery indicator label, and performance tracing toggles
• Out-of-office auto-reply detection improved with an updated pattern set

Bug Fixes

• Fixed email font size override not taking effect in some message layouts
• Fixed an accessibility focus regression that caused VoiceOver to land on the wrong element after certain actions
• Fixed out-of-office detection missing some common reply formats

New Features

• GARI Command Center — a new mode that gives the AI a live snapshot of your inbox before you ask a question, so answers about unread mail, follow-ups, and upcoming events are grounded in your actual data without extra prompting
• AI cost and usage dashboard — see a breakdown of how many tokens each AI provider has used, with daily cost charts and per-model statistics
• Unsubscribe management — a dedicated Subscriptions tab in Settings with inbox scanning, stats, and one-click unsubscribe flows (confirmation sheet included)

Improvements

• Settings window redesigned with a translucent glass sidebar and cleaner Curator section headers
• Threaded conversation view updated with Gmail-style grouping and the full Curator visual language
• Sheets and dialog boxes throughout the app updated to the Curator visual style (glass background, Curator typography and spacing)
• Certificate pinning strengthened — all bearer-token Google hosts are now covered, and the pinning configuration is unified to a single source of truth that cannot silently drift
• AI no longer fabricates answers when email context is unavailable — an anti-hallucination gate now blocks responses that lack grounding data
• GARI conversation list added to the Curator sidebar for quick access to past sessions

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a cross-account token retention edge case where removing an account could leave a stale refresh token in memory
• Fixed Microsoft Graph folder IDs not being treated as system folders, which could cause them to be incorrectly pruned during sync

New Features

• Unsubscribe directly from emails — a new Unsubscribe button appears in the email header for subscription emails, with a confirmation sheet before any action is taken
• Customizable keyboard shortcuts — choose from Gmail, Outlook, Superhuman, or Apple Mail presets, or build your own layout; conflicts are flagged before you save
• Keyboard shortcut cheat sheet — press a dedicated shortcut to overlay the full shortcut reference at any time

Improvements

• Sheets and dialogs throughout the app — account setup, label management, compose options, and more — updated to the Curator design language
• Background services now run on dedicated threads, freeing the main thread for smoother scrolling and faster UI response

New Features

• GARI Command Center — a new AI mode that retrieves a live snapshot of your inbox, calendar, follow-ups, and recent emails before answering, producing grounded, accurate responses instead of guesses
• AI cost dashboard — view daily spend by provider, per-model token counts, and input/output token breakdowns for the AI features you use
• GARI conversation persistence — past AI conversations are stored and searchable; the sidebar shows your conversation history and lets you continue any previous session

Improvements

• Three-tier AI understanding now on by default: fast keyword matching, on-device similarity search, and cloud LLM fallback combine to understand your requests more accurately and with lower latency
• GARI no longer answers questions about email content it has not retrieved — responses are now grounded in actual fetched data
• Date expressions like “last three days”, “next week”, and “tomorrow” now parsed correctly in AI queries
• Markdown formatting (headers, bold, lists) now rendered cleanly in GARI chat responses

Bug Fixes

• Fixed GARI giving confident-sounding answers that did not reflect your actual inbox state
• Fixed date range queries missing emails when only a subset of the inbox had been loaded

Improvements

• AI privacy toggle enforced end-to-end — when “on-device only” is enabled, cloud AI providers are now fully blocked at the routing layer, not just in the UI
• OAuth tokens are now stored separately per account in the Keychain, preventing any possibility of one account’s credentials being used by another
• Token reads are now atomic — the access token and its expiry are always read together, eliminating a potential race condition during token refresh

• Personal information is scrubbed from AI processing logs and authentication error paths
• Quick Reply, Workflow automation, and initial email sync are now fully implemented for both Gmail and Microsoft accounts
• CloudKit sync has been disabled and removed — your email data stays on your device and is not sent to iCloud

• Data export — export emails as .mbox or .eml, export contacts as vCard, and export calendar events as ICS for GDPR compliance and portability
• VIP sender management — mark senders as VIP, see visual indicators on emails from VIP contacts, and filter to show only VIP emails
• Admin policy service — per-organisation policy enforcement for enterprise accounts (feature controls, restrictions)
• Curator layout views — dedicated message list, thread detail, inline compose, sidebar, quick reply, and calendar views built on the Curator design system
