Cate 1.0.0

The first stable release of Cate — a spatial desktop IDE with an infinite zoomable canvas for code, terminals, browsers, and git.

Highlights

• Infinite canvas — zoom, pan, and arrange editor, terminal, and browser panels anywhere in freeform space
• Dock system — drag floating panels into tabbed splits; detach into standalone OS windows
• Monaco Editor — full VS Code-grade editing with syntax highlighting, diff support, and scratch persistence
• Native terminals — xterm.js + node-pty with WebGL rendering, shell auto-detection, and graceful fallback
• Browser panels — embedded webviews for previewing dev servers and docs
• Git integration — git-aware file explorer, source control sidebar with staging, branches, worktrees, and inline diffs
• Canvas-wide search — Spotlight-style overlay searching files, terminal scrollback, and panel titles
• Command palette — quick access to every action (Cmd+K)
• Saved layouts — name, save, and restore canvas arrangements
• Multi-workspace sessions — switch between projects with full state restore
• Agent & MCP — bootstrap Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor configs; validate MCP servers inline
• Auto-update — checks GitHub releases and notifies on new versions
• Cross-platform — macOS (arm64, x64), Windows (x64), Linux (x64)
