QR Quick Connect and Protocol Upgrade

This release introduced two foundational upgrades: QR Quick Connect and a cleaner request/response transport model.

What users saw

• Scan-to-connect flow for faster pairing between iPhone and Mac server.
• Fewer manual entry steps in initial setup.

What changed under the hood

• Request/response protocol refinements for clearer message semantics.
• Better error-code structure on the server side.
• More predictable client handling for connection and command flows.

Why this update was important

Connection setup quality compounds over time. Every manual step in the first-run flow adds drop-off risk. QR pairing removes one of the highest-friction points, while protocol cleanup reduces subtle sync failures later.
