Explyt 5.20 Adds Background Task Panel and System Notifications

Summary

Explyt 5.20 adds a background task indicator beside the chat input and a panel listing terminal commands, run configurations, tests, subagents, and forks with their status and elapsed time. Users can jump to the original chat card or stop an individual process, although stopping it does not undo changes already made. Optional macOS, Windows, and Linux system notifications alert users when a response is ready, the agent asks a question, requests confirmation, or prepares a review report while the IDE is inactive; the feature must be enabled in Explyt settings and allowed by the operating system. Memory Bank cleanup now works in two stages: it first removes entries unused for more than 30 days, then may remove Project, Reference, and Feedback entries unused for more than 7 days, while protecting User entries and the entry just saved. The release also focuses the inline code-generation request window immediately, preserves source changes when Undo is used in that window, and fixes clipping of long subagent results. In performance and security work, PasswordSafe checks and model selection no longer read synchronously on the interface thread, identical concurrent provider checks are combined, chat histories are analyzed once per run, and batch-processing dependencies and container artifacts are updated to reduce known vulnerability exposure. Existing chats and settings remain compatible after the plugin update.
