v0.3.0

What's New in v0.3.0

Category Management Improvements

• Drag & Drop Category Assignment: Drag repository cards onto sidebar categories to quickly assign categories.
• Category Lock: Manually assigned categories are now locked and won't be changed by subsequent AI analysis or sync operations.
• AI Category Matching: AI analysis now considers custom categories and will assign repositories to matching custom categories.

AI Service Fixes

• Gemini Compatibility (#74): Fixed connection test failures for Gemini models by increasing maxTokens threshold. Thanks to @Minttc for the contribution!
• DeepSeek Reasoner Compatibility (#75): Fixed compatibility issues with DeepSeek's official deepseek-reasoner model by removing unsupported parameters.

UI Improvements

• Sidebar Layout (#77): Category count badges are now properly aligned. Action buttons appear on hover without causing layout shifts.

Bug Fixes

• Backend Persistence: Category lock state (category_locked) is now properly persisted to the backend database.
• Settings Sync: Hidden default category preferences are now synced across devices via backend settings.
• Category Rename: Renaming a custom category now updates all repositories assigned to that category.
