# Eggent 0.1.2 - Dark Theme and Python Recovery

Date: 2026-03-06  
Type: Patch release snapshot

## Release Name
`Dark Theme and Python Recovery`

This release packages three focused improvements: user-selectable dark mode, stronger Python package recovery through virtualenv fallback, and cleaner project file trees by hiding virtualenv folders.

## What Is Included

### 1) Settings and UI Theme
- Added `Appearance -> Dark mode` toggle in `Dashboard -> Settings`.
- Theme preference now applies to the root layout (`<html class="dark">`) based on saved settings.

### 2) Python Runtime and Dependency Recovery
- Python execution now prefers project-local interpreters from `.venv` or `venv` when available.
- Python execution environment now injects virtualenv context (`VIRTUAL_ENV`, `PATH`) when using a local venv.
- `install_packages` Python flow now includes fallback plan:
  - create local virtualenv (`python3 -m venv .venv` or `python -m venv .venv`)
  - install requested dependencies with `.venv/bin/python -m pip install ...`
- Prompt guidance updated to route Python missing-dependency recovery through `install_packages(kind=python)` with virtualenv fallback when system pip is blocked.

### 3) Project Files Visibility
- Hidden project entries now include `.venv` and `venv` in addition to `.meta`.

## New in 0.1.2

- Added dark mode toggle and persisted theme application in layout.
- Improved Python dependency recovery with project-local virtualenv fallback.
- Hid Python virtualenv directories from project file listings.
- Bumped package and health version to `0.1.2`.

## Upgrade Notes

- No data migration required.
- Existing projects continue to run as-is.
- If a project has `.venv`/`venv`, Python tool execution will now prefer that interpreter.
