- **Smart Conflict Resolution** - Distinguishes "fully successful" and "partially successful" states for precise user feedback

### Configuration Editor Improvements

- **JSON Format Button** - One-click JSON formatting in configuration editors
- **Real-Time TOML Validation** - Live syntax validation for Codex configuration with error highlighting

### Load Live Config When Editing

- **Protect Manual Modifications** - When editing the currently active provider, prioritize displaying the actual effective configuration from live files
- **Dual-Source Strategy** - Automatically loads from live config for active provider, SSOT for inactive ones

### Claude Configuration Data Structure Enhancements

- **Granular Model Configuration** - Migrated from dual-key to quad-key system for better model tier differentiation
  - New fields: `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL`, `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL`, `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL`, `ANTHROPIC_MODEL`
  - Replaces legacy `ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL` with automatic migration
  - Backend normalizes old configs on first read/write with smart fallback chain
  - UI expanded from 2 to 4 model input fields with intelligent defaults
- **ANTHROPIC_API_KEY Support** - Providers can now use `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` field in addition to `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`
- **Template Variable System** - Support for dynamic configuration replacement (e.g., KAT-Coder's `ENDPOINT_ID` parameter)
- **Endpoint Candidates** - Predefined endpoint list for speed testing and endpoint management
- **Visual Theme Configuration** - Custom icons and colors for provider cards

### Updated Provider Models

- **Kimi k2** - Updated to latest `kimi-k2-thinking` model

### New Provider Presets

Added 5 new provider presets:

- **DMXAPI** - Multi-model aggregation service
- **Azure Codex** - Microsoft Azure OpenAI endpoint
- **AnyRouter** - None-profit routing service
- **AiHubMix** - Multi-model aggregation service
- **MiniMax** - Open source AI model provider

### Partner Promotion Mechanism

- Support for ecosystem partner promotion (Zhipu GLM Z.ai)
- Sponsored banner integration in README

## Improvements

### Configuration & Sync

- **Unified Error Handling** - AppError with internationalized error messages throughout backend
- **Fixed apiKeyUrl Priority** - Correct priority order for API key URL resolution
- **Fixed MCP Sync Issues** - Resolved sync-to-other-side functionality failures
- **Import Config Sync** - Fixed sync issues after configuration import
- **Config Error Handling** - Force exit on config error to prevent silent fallback and data loss

### UI/UX Enhancements

- **Unique Provider Icons** - Each provider card now has unique icons and color identification
- **Unified Border System** - Consistent border design across all components
- **Drag Interaction** - Push effect animation and improved drag handle icons
- **Enhanced Visual Feedback** - Better current provider visual indication
- **Dialog Standardization** - Unified dialog sizes and layout consistency
- **Form Improvements** - Optimized model placeholders, simplified provider hints, category-specific hints
- **Usage Display Inline** - Usage info moved next to enable button for better space utilization

### Complete Internationalization

- **Error Messages i18n** - All backend error messages support Chinese/English
- **Tray Menu i18n** - System tray menu fully internationalized
- **UI Components i18n** - 100% coverage across all user-facing components

## Architecture Refactoring

### Backend (Rust) - 5 Phase Refactoring

1. **Phase 1**: Unified error handling (`AppError` + i18n error messages)
2. **Phase 2**: Command layer split by domain (`commands/{provider,mcp,config,settings,plugin,misc}.rs`)
3. **Phase 3**: Integration tests and transaction mechanism (config snapshot + failure rollback)
4. **Phase 4**: Extracted Service layer (`services/{provider,mcp,config,speedtest}.rs`)
5. **Phase 5**: Concurrency optimization (`RwLock` instead of `Mutex`, scoped guard to avoid deadlock)

### Frontend (React + TypeScript) - 4 Stage Refactoring

1. **Stage 1**: Test infrastructure (vitest + MSW + @testing-library/react)
2. **Stage 2**: Extracted custom hooks (`useProviderActions`, `useMcpActions`, `useSettings`, `useImportExport`, etc.)
3. **Stage 3**: Component splitting and business logic extraction
4. **Stage 4**: Code cleanup and formatting unification

### Testing System

- **Hooks Unit Tests** - 100% coverage for all custom hooks
- **Integration Tests** - Coverage for key processes (App, SettingsDialog, MCP Panel)
- **MSW Mocking** - Backend API mocking to ensure test independence
- **Test Infrastructure** - vitest + MSW + @testing-library/react

### Code Quality

- **Unified Parameter Format** - All Tauri commands migrated to camelCase (Tauri 2 specification)
- **Semantic Clarity** - `AppType` renamed to `AppId` for better semantics
- **Centralized Parsing** - Unified `app` parameter parsing with `FromStr` trait
- **DRY Violations Cleanup** - Eliminated code duplication throughout codebase
- **Dead Code Removal** - Removed unused `missing_param` helper, deprecated `tauri-api.ts`, redundant `KimiModelSelector`

## Internal Optimizations (User Transparent)

### Removed Legacy Migration Logic

v3.6.0 removed v1 config auto-migration and copy file scanning logic:

- **Impact**: Improved startup performance, cleaner codebase
- **Compatibility**: v2 format configs fully compatible, no action required
- **Note**: Users upgrading from v3.1.0 or earlier should first upgrade to v3.2.x or v3.5.x for one-time migration, then upgrade to v3.6.0

### Command Parameter Standardization

Backend unified to use `app` parameter (values: `claude` or `codex`):

- **Impact**: More standardized code, friendlier error prompts
- **Compatibility**: Frontend fully adapted, users don't need to care about this change

---

## Dependencies

- Updated to **Tauri 2.8.x**
- Updated to **TailwindCSS 4.x**
- Updated to **TanStack Query v5.90.x**
- Maintained **React 18.2.x** and **TypeScript 5.3.x**
