Summary

AI summary

Updates Highlights, Avalonia, and https://github.com/Cap-of-tea/GDD/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md across a mixed release.

Full changelog

GDD.Desktop — the GUI comes to Linux & macOS 🐧 🍎

This release ships GDD.Desktop, a native desktop app (Avalonia) that brings GDD's live thumbnail grid to Linux and macOS — the counterpart to the Windows WPF app. Grab GDD-Desktop-Linux, GDD-Desktop-macOS-ARM, or GDD-Desktop-macOS-Intel below.

Highlights

A GUI on every platform — click a thumbnail to bring that browser on-screen and drive it by hand; close its window to send it back to the grid. It runs its own MCP server on port 9800, so it sits happily next to the headless Server on 9700.
Desktop screens in the "+ Add" menu — Laptop HD/HiDPI and Desktop 1080p/1440p/4K presets, plus a per-device picker.
Native bundles — built on real Linux and macOS runners, so each one ships the correct Playwright driver and runs out of the box (the old Windows-cross-compiled macOS builds were missing it).

Fixes

Clear "missing required parameter" errors instead of a cryptic dictionary exception.
The registered MCP URL now updates when the port changes.
Smoother first run on macOS/Linux (no more pwsh-not-found during Chromium install).

See the full changelog for the complete list.
