Full changelog

Workflow polish and layout persistence

This release adds a few small but important workflow improvements that make Aura feel smoother during real daily use.

Added

Added copy buttons to user and assistant message cards.
Added a new Continue in Fresh Chat handoff workflow near the message box.
Continue in Fresh Chat generates a structured handoff from the current conversation, saves it under .aura/handoffs/, starts a fresh conversation, and sends the handoff as the first user message.
Added local SVG assets for copy and handoff actions.

Improved

Aura now remembers the main window size, position, maximized state, and main splitter layout between launches.
The left pane, chat pane, and workspace pane now reopen using the same proportions from the previous session.
Existing users with no saved layout still get the same sensible default layout.
Empty handoff responses now show a visible error instead of silently failing.

Notes

These are small quality of life changes, but they remove real friction from longer Aura sessions. messages are easier to copy, long chats can be carried forward cleanly, and the app now opens the way you left it.
