Fixed
Chat replies no longer wait on background analysis, and temporary provider problems recover much faster.
- Increased the completion budget so ordinary conversations no longer stop after only a few paragraphs.
- Character replies now appear as soon as writing finishes while memory, relationship and scene analysis continues safely in the background.
- Stalled or unreachable generation requests now switch promptly to the backup provider.
- Short retry timing replaces long retry chains during temporary provider outages.
- Story responses receive a larger completion budget to reduce cut-off scenes.
Fixed
Long-running stories now retain important preferences and duties more reliably, while Continue and Regenerate recover from repeated or empty generations.
- Important long-term preferences, boundaries and ongoing duties now remain available in long conversations.
- Story memory is selected using the current scene instead of unrelated recency alone.
- Continue now advances from the previous moment and automatically rejects accidental repetitions.
- Empty or malformed provider responses retry automatically before switching to the backup provider.
- Failed drafts are not added to the story.
Fixed
Temporary text-provider capacity errors now retry automatically before switching to a backup provider.
- Added five spaced retries for temporary text-generation capacity errors.
- If the primary provider remains unavailable, generation can continue through DeepSeek directly, preserving the selected Fast or Pro writing mode.
- Existing streams are never restarted after an answer begins.
- Internal cost estimates now account for the backup provider's pricing.
Fixed
Branches now restore the complete engine state, while Continue and Regenerate use durable, retryable memory processing.
Branch continuity
- Rewinding or restoring a branch now brings back its story board, stats, scene context, appearance, relationships, meters, cast and character evolution.
- NPC and cast state stays consistent when switching timelines.
Continue & Regenerate
- Continue and Regenerate now save the correct state snapshot for both Classic and Story chats.
- Regenerated messages can no longer leave behind active memories from discarded replies.
Memory reliability
- Memory updates now use a persistent retry queue with crash recovery, protected worker locks and automatic backoff.
