## Improvements

* On enterprise subscriptions, chats and files never expire.
* Stable automatic chat titles that follow the conversation language.
* Unsent text drafts survive reloads.
* AI-assisted PDF redlines saved as document versions.

* Report sign-in problems before logging in.
* More reliable IFC recovery, Rhino execution, AutoCAD cancellation, and chat compaction.

## Bug fixes

* Removing an automation from a chain keeps its original Library entry.
* Retry no longer fails after a permission change.
* Further fixes for automations, permissions, updates, and UI accessibility.
