Fixed GIFs displaying with black backgrounds in Safari (Imgix conversion issue)

Fixed layout shift in message list when removing text (Safari / webkit)

Updated hover and selected state color variables across the app for better theming support.

When creating a group from the inbox, you now stay in your current tab rather than being redirected.

Search and mention dropdowns now include consistent borders for clearer visual hierarchy.

New themes and color modes are now supported across both desktop and mobile.

Max-width has been standardized across all “attachment-like” components—links, files, threads, and tool calls—for better visual alignment.

OAuth apps can now be configured in the app builder, with support for adding redirect URIs, secrets, and client info.

Fixed a bug where the “Approve Request” button didn’t visibly change after being clicked—users now get clear confirmation.

Recipients are now hidden in the threads list view on narrow screens to reduce clutter.

Improved truncation logic so message previews don’t cut off in the middle of markdown links or formatting—“see more” expansions now respect complete markdown syntax.

Updated themes and UI color modes behind a feature flag—onboarding, sign‑in, and header now react to the new theme setting.

Enhanced Recent Media sidebar: GIFs now show a “Gif” label, display thumbnails, and animate on hover for easier discovery.
