Temporary Chats. Quick Compose and the Companion window can now spin up session-only chats that purge automatically, keep attachments sandboxed, and can be saved as full conversations if you need to keep the thread.

Instant Chat Bar preferences. A new settings pane lets you tune reset timing, auto-attachment sources, shake-to-open sensitivity, appearance overrides, and whether Quick Compose always starts in temporary mode for solo or multi-agent runs.

Richer message actions. "Delete All Subsequent Messages", "create prompt", Open in Browser and Fork chat (Branch from here).

Companion & composer polish. Use ⌘/ to focus the composer instantly, branching chats/prompts from the Companion window no longer fail, and the composer handles command shortcuts more reliably.

MCP and context fixes. Eliminated the MCP 100% CPU spike, renamed the binary to "BoltAI 2", fixed malformed chat rows plus folder-specific context policies so multi-agent tools keep the correct settings.
