+- **GNO Desktop Beta**: first mac-first desktop beta shell with deep-link routing, singleton handoff, and the same onboarding/search/edit flows as `gno serve`
+- **Desktop Onboarding Polish**: guided setup now covers folders, presets, model readiness, indexing, connectors, import preview, app tabs, file actions, and recovery without drift between web and desktop
