+## ✨ Release Highlights
+
+Netcatty **v1.1.84** introduces custom host monitoring dashboards and an integrated host browser, expands AI conversation and model controls, and improves cloud sync, SSH authentication, and everyday terminal workflows.
+
+### 📊 Custom host monitoring dashboards
+
+- Create named **monitoring panels** in the Vault, choose their hosts, and switch between chart and list views. Panel configuration syncs across devices (#3703).
+- Inspect CPU, memory, disk, network, and latency readings, with GPU details where available. Choose visible columns, resize them, adjust refresh controls, and open a terminal directly from a monitored host (#3704, #3705, #3713).
+- Virtualized host collections keep large monitoring views responsive (#3713).
+
+### 🌐 Browse host services inside Netcatty
+
+- Open the **Browser** tool alongside SFTP and Notes in a terminal side panel. SSH browsing uses the selected host's network path, including services on that host's `localhost` (#3701).
+- Work with browser tabs, bookmarks, navigation controls, and downloads without leaving the terminal workspace. Terminal links can open internally or in your system browser, according to your preference (#3701, #3712).
+- Browser contexts stay with their terminal, and idle panes avoid unnecessary layout polling (#3701, #3723).
+
+### 🤖 More control over AI conversations
+
+- **Search chat history**, fork a conversation from a completed response, or undo the last turn by branching at a safe boundary while preserving the original conversation (#3601, #3602, #3604).
+- Use the new **MiMo Code** agent integration. SDK model pickers gain clearer loading, source and retry states, better live model discovery, and support for manual model IDs (#3500, #3535, #3624, #3642).
+- Dock the AI assistant at the bottom, scope external MCP approvals to a connection or host, and let Skills + CLI work with Vault Notes (#3482, #3569, #3512).
+- Long-running AI sessions now default to an **8-hour idle timeout**. Catty prompt-cache handling and cached-token usage reporting are improved (#3618, #3714).
+
+### ☁️ Cloud sync and Vault organization
+
+- Choose a **non-destructive merge** strategy that retains entries missing from only one side, and include AI conversation history in cloud sync (#3633).
+- Clear local backup history with confirmation, with clearer disconnect and retry behavior and a refreshed convergent-sync settings panel (#3708, #3728).
+- Import FinalShell hosts, add Markdown notes to host groups, move selected hosts into a group, search workspace hosts by tag, and test a connection from the host editor (#3331, #3372, #3675, #3337, #2984).
+
+### 🖥️ Terminal and editing workflows
+
+- Save and automatically apply a **default terminal side-panel layout**, and open files in a detached editor window with multiple tabs (#3456, #3606).
+- Confirm multiline pastes, recall compose-bar history, save the current terminal screen, and configure tab double-click behavior and cursor width (#3400, #3365, #3364, #3401, #3495).
+- Highlight Unix paths with a switchable rule and prepare `tar` or `zip` commands from archive links. Command history gains a clear-all action (#3672, #3682, #3632).
+- Toggle window transparency while preserving the chosen opacity (#2987).
+
+### 🔐 SSH, SFTP, and responsiveness
+
+- **FIDO2 OpenSSH security keys** return with touch/PIN prompts, retry handling, and an explicit saved-password fallback when available. Compatible hardware and OpenSSH support are required (#2823, #3709).
+- Enable a single-channel SSH option for bastion hosts. SSH auto-reconnect is enabled by default, while automatic terminal closure on exit is disabled by default (#3458, #3617, #3619).
+- SFTP gains a **Cancel all** transfer action and local-shell file browsing, with fixes for independent upload cancellation, interrupted downloads, and transfer setup errors (#3574, #3379, #3638, #3702).
+- Large SFTP panes, expanded transfer lists, AI history searches, detached editors, and host searches receive responsiveness improvements. Release packages omit duplicate renderer and unused native files (#3716, #3717, #3719, #3721, #3722, #3724, #3726).
