Hi everyone,

v1.7.1 has been released:

Memory Categorization
Added backend memory interest categorization so CielChan can better retrieve and use relevant user preferences more naturally in the right moments.

Hide UI
Added a Hide UI toggle at the bottom of the Advanced settings tab, which hides the vertical hot bar from the desktop when enabled.

Settings Chat
Added a Settings button directly to the chat title header bar for quick access to the settings menu, even when the vertical hot bar is hidden.

Unified Context
Unified Ciel’s live context handling so Watch Together, system audio, screen observations, and manual follow-ups better draw from the same fresh audio, vision, session state, living context, and related signals.

Updated UI Descriptions
Added and updated descriptions for the Kokoro, RVC, and Change Voice options to more clearly explain their higher- and lower-quality voice options.

Handful of other small various bug fixes and improvements

More to come soon.
