Hey Anna app developers! 👋

This batch gives your apps a gorgeous new home on the dashboard, opens up every model  
to every plan, and squashes three gnarly forum-reported bugs  
(#260, #278, #282 — thank you, as always! 🙏).  
And that “something big” we hinted at last time? It’s _so_ close now. Hold that thought until next week… 🤫

Let’s dive in! 🚀

* * *

## ✨ New Features

- 🚀 **SpringBoard-style Apps desktop on the dashboard (beta.152)** — The dashboard now has a top-level **Chat | Apps** toggle (URL-addressable via `?view=apps`). The Apps view is a full-page grid of every installed UI app — with long-press edit mode (yes, they wiggle 🫨), drag-to-reorder that syncs across devices, right-click context menus, and one-tap launch. More surface area and discoverability for _your_ apps, right on the home screen!

- 🎨 **A warm new look (beta.150 & beta.151)** — The dashboard traded Matrix green for a warm terracotta palette with refined typography and softer surfaces. Your app windows now live in a much cozier home. 🧡

- 🔓 **Every model, every plan (beta.150)** — Plan-based model gating is gone: all active models are now available to users on every subscription tier. If your app uses sampling, you no longer need to worry about a user’s plan silently limiting which models can serve your requests. One less edge case to handle! 🎯

## 🐛 Bug Fixes

- 🔑 **CLI-published Executas can now actually be granted `host.upload` & friends (beta.147, forum #260)** — Executas published via PAT (`anna-app apps publish` or `executa publish`) never registered their protocol manifest, so capability grant toggles never appeared and reverse-RPC tokens were refused (`-32201 UPLOAD_NOT_GRANTED`). Fixed in three layers: CLI 0.1.50+ uploads your manifest at publish time, the server backfills manifests on reinstall/upgrade/deploy for existing Executas, and capability strings are now validated fail-fast — a typo’d capability gets a loud error instead of a silently missing permission toggle.

- 🩹 **“Repair” no longer silently no-ops on degraded apps (beta.147, forum #278)** — Dev-iterated apps could get permanently stuck showing “degraded” while Repair returned 202 and changed nothing. The reconciler now self-heals desired state from your app’s required Executas, tools that can’t be installed write an explicit failure reason instead of being silently skipped, and the installed-app detail panel shows **per-tool error messages** so you can see exactly what’s wrong and why. 🔍

- 📦 **App Center no longer shows “No bundled Executa” for pre-release apps (beta.149, forum #282)** — If your app had no released version yet (owner/reviewer view), the Bundled list came up empty even though your candidate clearly bundled tools. The detail view now falls back to the review candidate’s frozen bindings, with a “candidate” badge so everyone knows exactly what they’re looking at.

* * *

## 🧩 Compatibility Notes

- 🟢 **Everything is additive** — no manifest changes required. Existing apps keep working unchanged.
- 📦 **CLI 0.1.50+** is a safe, drop-in update — and re-publishing with it is the easiest way to get your Executa’s protocol manifest registered (see forum #260 above).
- 👀 Extra-sharp eyes may spot some new fields and version bumps rippling through the stack. All optional, all dormant. For now. 😉

## 🔮 One More Thing…

Next week. That’s all we’re saying. If you took our earlier hint and started thinking about  
what your app would look like on a smaller canvas — you’re going to be very glad you did. 📱✨
