<p>Apps that crash now recover on their own. Multi-part apps like Immich and IndeedHub could have one of their pieces stop and stay stopped until the whole node was rebooted; the node now checks every couple of minutes and restarts any crashed piece automatically (while still leaving apps you deliberately stopped alone).</p>
<p>The on-screen kiosk display can no longer slow the whole node down. On machines without a graphics chip the kiosk browser could spin a CPU core at full tilt, starving everything else (including the wallet, which then timed out); it's now capped and uses lighter rendering on those machines.</p>
<p>If an update download fails, you're taken back to the Download button to retry, instead of being stranded on an Install button for an update that didn't actually finish downloading.</p>
<p>Your node's identity is clearer and always visible: Settings now shows your Node DID on every node (it previously only appeared if your browser had cached it) plus your node's npub, both with copy buttons. There's also a terminal tool to cryptographically prove all your node's keys come from your one seed phrase.</p>
<p>The "all nodes over Tor" group chat sends quickly now the "sending" spinner clears as soon as the reachable nodes have the message, instead of hanging on a slow or offline node.</p>
<p>Message notifications now have a close button and open the relevant chat when tapped.</p>
<p>The encrypted mesh transport (FIPS) turns itself on automatically after setup no button to press and connects to peers more reliably (it retries and keeps connections warm), so node-to-node features use the fast path more often instead of falling back to Tor.</p>
<p>Your chat history with other nodes is saved reliably and now encrypted on disk, so it survives restarts and updates and can't be read from a stolen drive (only clearing chat removes it).</p>
<p>Peer media shows a "connecting" loader before a video or audio file plays, and audio errors are accurate instead of blaming File Browser.</p>
<p>The Fedimint app now displays with its proper styling, and the Connected Nodes screen stays compact it shows a few nodes and scrolls, you can tap a node to jump to it in Federation, or tap Message to open its chat.</p>
<p>App updates can now arrive on their own without waiting for a full system release, so individual apps can be improved and shipped faster.</p>
