Orbit v0.2.9-beta

Version: v0.2.9-beta
Commit: 36f299a
Built: 2026-07-22

Note: This is not a stable release — latest development version with experimental features.

Mobile Settings Additions

• App Zoom Slider — New zoom slider (50–200%, default 100%) in Appearance → Text & Layout, matching desktop functionality. Stored as appZoom in settings.
• Disable Light Mode Flashbang Toggle — New "Disable Light Mode Flashbang" toggle in Appearance. When enabled, switching to a Light theme skips the brightness warning dialog entirely. Stored as noFlashbang in settings.
• Light Mode Flashbang Warning — When the user selects a Light theme (Light, Solarized Light, etc.) while the flashbang toggle is disabled, a themed warning dialog appears explaining the sudden brightness change, with a "Don't show again" option that auto-enables the noFlashbang setting.
• GitHub Links in About — "GitHub Repository" (opens repo URL) and "Report an Issue" (opens issues page) links added to the About section with Lucide icons.

Desktop Global Gallery Layout Fix

• Scroll Wrapper Separation — The global gallery now wraps each display mode (grid, compact, masonry, list) in a dedicated overflow-y: auto scroll container, separated from the inner layout <div>. This prevents layout breakage when the gallery holds more than 10–20 items. Previously the layout container and scroll wrapper were the same element, causing flex/grid layout conflicts under overflow scroll.

Fixes

• Experimental Card Icon Fixed — The Experimental card in mobile settings now renders correctly. Lucide renamed flask to flask-conical in v1.17.0, and the old icon name was silently failing (rendering nothing).
• Mobile Store Defaults — Added noFlashbang: false and appZoom: 1.0 defaults in store.js settings.
• Flashbang Dialog Render Path — added data-flashbang-disable checkbox handler, confirmed Flashbang dialog triggers only on Light theme selection (not System/Auto).

Technical

• Version: Bumped to v0.2.9-beta across all manifests (workspace root, desktop, mobile).
• Version Sync: mobile/package.json set to 0.2.9-beta, version.js auto-regenerated via npm run version:sync.
• Android Sync: npx cap sync android completed — web assets synced to Capacitor Android project.
