Synth Workshop v0.2.0

Synth Workshop v0.2.0 is the second friends release for Apple silicon Macs. It is an ad-hoc-signed, unnotarized build; updates remain manual.

New

Synth Cloud Laguna S uses the dedicated native Responses gateway with source-owned production routing.
Local Laguna XS inference includes managed model downloads, removal, and memory controls.
Trace V5 imports, Craftax rollout inspection, and a first-class visual library are available in the native app.
Synth account sign-in includes cloud allowance, plan, and device-usage views.

Improved

Cloud inference routing is checked into the Desktop source and fails closed instead of accepting a mutable endpoint override.
Composer controls for permissions, model choice, and thinking level are more compact.
Local inference throughput, latency, cache, request telemetry, and provider-specific billing authority are clearer.
The stable-channel update check stays quiet while offline and always sends users to the official download page.

Fixed

Synth Cloud Laguna uses source-owned local, staging, and production gateway routing rather than the backend compatibility route.
Deleted managed Laguna selections resolve back to the canonical managed-model root.
Local model-path warnings stay with Local Laguna instead of dominating Synth Cloud sessions.
Auto-compaction preserves model-aware defaults and never falls back to a 16k limit.
Native Synth Cloud turns send full history with response storage disabled for stateless tool continuation.
Bundled local services preserve the macOS app signature after launch.

Release record

The binary and its provenance are attached to the Synth Desktop v0.2.0 GitHub release.
v0.2.0 supports macOS 14+ on Apple silicon. On first launch, macOS may require Control-click → Open or System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
For the currently supported release and its checksum, use usesynth.ai/download.
