New menus and panels

New in 1.65. Several windows and menus were rebuilt so that related things sit together: Chat and the AI assistant share one window, everyone in the session has a card, the file preview docks and edits images, the Timeline has panes, Generate 3D is a window, and your account has one page in Settings.

Layouts and window positions saved by an earlier version open the new windows: a docked or placed AI assistant opens Chat on its Assistant tab, and an Image editor tab opens the Preview.

Chat and the AI assistant

Chat and the AI assistant are one window with two tabs: Session for the people in this session, and Assistant for your own AI provider or an AI agent that joined. The Chat button (or C) opens it on Session, the AI button on Assistant. If the window is on the other tab, the button switches tabs; if its own tab is showing, it closes the window. A dot on a tab means something new arrived there. The clock button opens one History for both kinds of chat (All | People | AI, and a search), and chats come back after a reload. Your own provider's chats stay on this device. More: Chat and AI Assistant.

The Chat window on its Session tab: Mia's line and your answer, the message field and Send below, and in the header the History clock and the close button. 1: the Session and Assistant tabs. 2: the History button.
