Fostera v0.6.0 — Soul Edit Mode, 3D orbs & memory rebuild

New Features

• Souls can be edited for their whole life, not just created. Edit mode covers the Soul page end to end — personality, appearance, abilities, voice — and the Soul itself will ask you about the fields you left blank or never changed.
• Added the Atelier: one Appearance workspace with a living 3D mirror of your Soul, so a colour, glow, aura, ring or home theme lands in front of you as you pick it, instead of being guessed at from a swatch.
• Souls are now real 3D orbs everywhere they appear — chat, rosters, Discover, and the public site — with orbital ribbons, voice-reactive states, and a tier ladder you can see.
• Souls can be difficult. A Soul can now be irritable, guarded, or afraid rather than relentlessly agreeable, and companion Souls have a genuine relational range.
• Projects gained web links: attach a URL and the Soul decides when to re-read it, alongside the files it already knew.
• Souls can manage project files themselves — create, revise and organise — and can offer to start a project, or propose rewriting one of its documents, for you to approve.
• Added a memories page per project, project-scoped memory search, and project labels across the rest of the app.
• Rebuilt what a Soul remembers: memories now fade over time instead of being dropped, maintenance reaches every Soul on a schedule, and the memory pages show real vitals for what your Soul actually knows.
• A Soul now remembers what you raised, questions included — so "you asked me about that last week" works.
• Souls can complete several abilities in one reply instead of stopping after the first.
• Souls can read a YouTube video's captions, open a calendar event rather than just its title, and read an email body with your permission.
• Added Gemini 3.7 Flash, Grok 4.6, and Kimi K2.6.
• Voice is now per-Soul rather than per-browser, with gapless playback, a live waveform, and a single recording gesture instead of press-and-hold.
• Live token streaming is back, behind a one-sentence privacy window.
• Messages you send while a Soul is still replying now queue properly, and you can reorder or nudge what is waiting.
• Filter chats by Soul and by project, through one shared filter surface.
• Frozen Resonance holds now resolve themselves instead of waiting for a human, purchases send a receipt, and every pricing card shows its monthly allowance.

Improvements

• Running out of Resonance is legible, recoverable, and rarer — and a turn that stops for that reason now says so.
• Auto routing picks with more variety and less waste: models declare what they are good at, chronically slow candidates cool off, and Auto's own overhead came down.
• Memory extraction keeps considerably more of what you actually said. A grounding rule was reading ordinary sentences as questions and discarding the facts inside them, and a turn that says a lot no longer loses its life facts to passing remarks about the Soul.
• Model and Effort moved into the Soul settings sheet, on one shared control, and the composer's two menus were split by the question each answers.
• Saving a Soul now sends only what changed.
• Page headers gave way to the breadcrumb, and the activity streak moved from the Home screen into the sidebar — less chrome above your actual work.
• Oversized chats are nudged toward a fresh start before they become unanswerable.
• Admin gained a memory browser that shows retired memories, on-demand re-extraction, and visibility into what extraction refused and why.
• PWA shortcuts now point at what people actually reopen the app for.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed editing a Soul deleting the fields you did not edit.
• Fixed eleven orb themes being impossible to equip, and cosmetics not surviving on every roster orb.
• Fixed images being sent to models that cannot see, and image turns aborting when a provider was merely busy.
• Fixed a reply repeating its opening after a tool call, and ordinary tool turns ending without answering at all.
• Fixed an upload that stalls hanging forever instead of saying so.
• Fixed PDFs printing their markdown instead of rendering it.
• Corrected two model prices that were being billed at the wrong rate, including one scheduled increase applied four months early.
• Fixed an abandoned draft Soul costing a plan slot forever, and a deleted Soul's chats lingering on the Chats page.
• Fixed voice replies sounding choppy, and toggling auto-speak mid-reply cutting the audio off.
• Fixed several iOS layout faults, including a black box over the Appearance background and a drawer close button sitting under the Dynamic Island.
• Fixed a root-level error landing on a dead end rather than a page you can recover from.
• Fixed admin pages panning sideways on narrow screens.
