1.8.9
The boot screen's filling mark is the loading indicator for every app now. Apps are code-split, so opening one for the first time costs a round trip for its bundle, and that wait was covered by a ring that said only that something was happening. The menu bar's connection section gave a third of the panel's height to rows and a three-cell strip that read as a picker when nothing in it takes a click.

Highlights
- 01
One mark for every wait
The boot screen drives the fill from its own progress. An app chunk has no progress to give, so the mark breathes between roughly a sixth and nine tenths of the shape instead of filling and snapping back, and there is no frame where it empties. Under prefers-reduced-motion it holds still at the level the caller passed.
- 02
The connection section, at readout size
Both nodes are still shown, because that is what says the shell holds a Solana connection and an EVM connection at once, but only the live one is worth words. The other is a greyed mark with a tooltip, and the three chains are three marks in a row rather than three cells of a strip.
- 03
One place says what you are connected to
Settings drew its own wallet and chain card, which restated the menu bar's and could be read a second apart from it and disagree. It is gone. The RPC screen keeps the active node and its round-trip test, which is the one thing the menu bar cannot do.
Everything in this release
Improved2
- The app loading placeholder holds the launch splash open until the chunk lands, so the usual case is one animation rather than a splash that drops to a spinner.
- The chain readout in the menu bar states which of the three the app in front is pointed at, and greys the other two, without looking like something you can press.
Removed1
- The duplicate connection card in Settings is removed, and 117 lines with it.
