What's new in 0.6.0 Alpha 5

Loading experience improvements for file uploads.

Backend

No changes.

Frontend

Fix: loading overlay scoped to waveform area -- the processing overlay no longer covers the full screen when uploading an MP3 or WAV file. It now overlays only the waveform panel, matching the visual footprint of all other UI states.
Unified loading UI -- file uploads and YouTube links now use the same animated wave bars overlay with rotating phrases. Previously, file uploads showed a bare dark card; now both paths show the animated logo and processing messages consistently.
Fix: animated bars and phrases fully visible during processing -- the logo and phrase text were incorrectly dimmed by the no-track opacity rule while a job was in progress. Both are now rendered at full opacity.

Desktop setup

No changes.

Installing

Drop the new .app into your Applications folder and launch. No manual migration steps required.

Artifact build

macOS arm64 and x64 DMGs and runtime packs were built and inspected on a macOS Woodpecker agent before upload.

Artifact scan

Windows portable packages were scanned with ClamAV in CI before upload.
