CLI v1.0.0, Desktop v1.0.0: Multi-line answers, faster turn preparation, a doctor self-launch check, and CLI and app fixes

New features - Doctor self-launch check - The doctor command now checks that Droid can start itself and warns when startup is slow Improvements - Typing during startup - Text typed or pasted while Droid starts now edits the same way as the composer - Turn preparation speed - Starting a turn is far faster when many custom models are configured - MCP server actions - Disabling or removing an MCP server now shows right away instead of waiting for it to exit Bug fixes - New session defaults - New sessions now preselect a model you can run and keep a starter suggestion as an editable draft - Saved session compatibility - Saved sessions now keep their messages readable when an update adds new fields to them - Remote background processes - The footer now lists background commands running on another computer and stops them there - Repository lookup in subfolders - Readiness commands and built-in skills now find a repository cloned below your working folder - Duplicate session copies - A session stored twice now appears in session lists from its readable copy - Multi-line answer editing - Answer boxes and the /btw draft now take multi-line text and move between rows like the composer - Unreachable project folders - A project folder on a disconnected drive or share no longer stalls the session list - Copying command output - Copying build or command output now pastes plain text without terminal escape codes
