Destructive action confirmations
When the assistant proposes something irreversible, a confirmation modal blocks until the user approves or cancels.
What this is
When the assistant plans something destructive (closing many tabs, deleting data, etc.), a confirmation modal requires an explicit choice before the browser acts.
How to use it
- Read the summary carefully; Cancel is always safe.
- Confirm only if the listed scope matches what you intended.
- If unsure, narrow your request (“close only the tab titled …”).
Notes and limits
Non-destructive reads (list tabs, summarize page) usually do not need confirmation.

Assistant themes
Multiple light and dark themes for the assistant chrome (not only system theme); choice syncs via prefs / bridge.
Busy / streaming state
Visual feedback while the model or tools are working (AssistantBusyBar, streaming into the timeline).
