Changelog

Unreleased

Renamed user-facing product, desktop app, release assets, and documentation from Lingma IPC Proxy to Lingma Proxy.
Clarified that Remote API mode is the recommended default and that only IPC plugin mode is based on the coolxll/lingma-ipc-proxy protocol discovery.
Added lingma-proxy.json and ~/.config/lingma-proxy/config.json config lookup/write paths while keeping legacy lingma-ipc-proxy config fallback.
Added a desktop top-bar force quit button that stops the proxy and exits the app on macOS and Windows.

Added the VS Code Lingma plugin shared cache directory ~/.lingma/vscode/sharedClientCache to remote credential auto-detection.
This fixes Windows setups where Lingma is installed through the VS Code extension and stores cache/user plus cache/id under the plugin shared client cache.

Improved Windows remote credential detection for Lingma App installations.
Remote API mode now checks cache/user before machine-id lookup so missing-login errors are more accurate.
Expanded machine-id discovery to recursive Lingma app logs and VS Code Lingma plugin logs instead of only logs/lingma.log.
Added support for additional machine-id log formats such as machine_id, machineId, and JSON-style fields.

Enabled real SSE streaming for OpenAI /v1/chat/completions and Anthropic /v1/messages requests that include tools.
Added a tool-stream filter so normal text can stream immediately while prompt-emulated action blocks are buffered and emitted as proper tool_calls / tool_use events at the end.
Added LINGMA_AGGREGATE_TOOL_STREAM=1 as a compatibility switch to restore the previous aggregate output behavior for tool requests.
Tightened tool-emulation instructions so conceptual chat and explanation requests do not trigger unnecessary terminal/tool calls.
Added tests for hosted Anthropic web search handling, tool-stream filtering, and updated tool prompt guidance.

Added remote API timeout fallback with a configurable model order. The default order is Kimi-K2.6, MiniMax-M2.7, Qwen3-Coder, Qwen3.6-Plus, Qwen3-Max, and Qwen3-Thinking.
Fallback only runs before any streaming bytes are sent and only uses models returned by the active /v1/models response.
Changed the default request timeout from 120 seconds to 300 seconds.
Added a desktop Settings switch and fallback model list editor.
Added persistent desktop app state for request history, app logs, and cumulative token usage.
Added a Dashboard token usage card and model-list specification chips for context window and capability summaries.
Added model display to the desktop request stream table and model-aware request search.
Fixed Dashboard "recent model" tracking so health/model-list requests no longer override the last real chat model.
Updated architecture documentation to cover the IPC and Remote API dual-backend design.
Disabled desktop Inspector and default context menu in production builds; local development can opt in with LINGMA_DESKTOP_DEBUG=1.

Default backend changed to remote API mode for new CLI and desktop configurations.
Default model changed to kmodel (Kimi-K2.6 in Lingma remote model list).
Removed the proxy-injected fake Auto model in remote mode so the model list only shows models returned by Lingma.
Fixed Dashboard recent requests showing MiniMax-M2.7 for model discovery and health/debug requests that do not contain a model field.
Added request record model and payload size fields for the desktop app request table.
Updated Dashboard transport display to show Remote API when remote backend is active.
Updated Hermes local config to use Lingma Proxy with kmodel and remote model IDs.
Updated README / README.zh-CN for remote-first mode, Kimi recommendation, package selection, protocol support, and debug/log endpoints.

Improved remote enterprise endpoint detection from Lingma logs.
Added support for showing detected remote base URL and credential source in desktop Settings.
Added macOS DMG packaging in GitHub Actions.

Added experimental remote API backend alongside the original IPC plugin backend.
Added remote credential import from local Lingma login cache or explicit credential files.
Added OpenAI / Anthropic compatible routing over the remote backend.
Added request and log debug endpoints for troubleshooting.
