v1.3.1 - Launch at Login

Features

• Stream Deck integration — Install the Ghostty Claude plugin directly from Settings. Physical buttons show Claude state for each window, with tap-to-focus and tap-to-launch
• Claude "asking" state detection — Distinguishes when Claude is asking a question vs. waiting at the prompt. Install the Claude hook from Settings > Claude Hooks
• Configurable global hotkeys — Customize the keyboard shortcuts for Quick Launch and Window Switcher in Settings > Hotkeys
• Arrow key navigation in Quick Launch — Navigate items with up/down and launch with Enter
• Default random directory — Set a working directory for random theme launches in Settings
• Screen recording permission prompt — App now prompts for permission at launch instead of waiting for first Window Switcher use
• Launch at Login — New toggle in Settings > General to automatically start the app when you log in

Improvements

• Window Switcher correctly shows "asking" state for windows where Claude is waiting for input
• Random theme launches no longer show auto-generated nicknames in Window Switcher
• API server binds to localhost only for security
• Workstream and quick-launch API endpoints for Stream Deck
