Release 4.186.0

The mark at work is a ring of dots, and thinking is a state of its own. The owner, 2026-11-10: "the progress animation… should make the O turn into a bunch of little circles, like how a normal loading spinner looks… a cooler animation that actually looks like it's loading or doing something. Also, there should be one dedicated for thinking when your agent is thinking or replying… easier to know that it's replying or outputting tokens."

• data-state="busy" (working): the O breaks into eight dots (a dash of no length with a round cap) and three bright ones go round the ring, dot to dot, while the V bobs. It was the O breathing. This replaces the old line "nothing spins": a wait is the mark's own O going round, never a borrowed spinner.
• data-state="think" (new): three dots rise in turn inside the O, the ring quiets, and the V's two strokes glimmer one after the other. One sign, wherever an agent is thinking or tokens are on their way.
• Both are shown at every size and stay readable with motion off (the dots are simply there).

The menu and the Dock are one kind of sheet on a phone. The owner: "make the two UIs look match a little better, especially the close button, so it feels more seamless… make the animation effect for the menu opening and closing more similar to how the other ones are… and make it cooler."

• One close button: the Dock's is the menu's now: the same round, ringed button, the same × of dots in the same colours, at the same place on the screen (measured: both centred 36px from the right edge, 34px from the top).
• One move: the Dock's sheet opens as a circle growing from the orb and folds back into it, with the menu's own timing (380 ms in, 280 ms out); it faded and scaled in 4.185.0.
• A ring leaves the orb as either sheet opens (smaller under Calm, by --ov-move).
• The close orb is measured after the sheet's layout is set, so it starts exactly on the navbar's button.

A control nobody styled wears the theme. The owner: "customize all the inputs and buttons and things that aren't styled." A <button>, a text field, a <select> or a <textarea> with no class of its own gets the theme's face from the loader: its colour, border, corner and font, and the accent on a tick box or a slider. Only the face, and at no specificity (:where), so any rule a site wrote still wins and no layout moves; a control's real shape is the kit's (ovk-btn, ovk-input). The loader grew about 1 KB raw (budget 67,600 characters).

The Dock is 20.00 KB brotli (budget 20.25 KB, with the reason beside it).
