Prompt Optimizer v2.11.8

Summary

Basic/System tests can now attach one image and use it throughout multimodal model calls, evaluation, comparison, and restored sessions.
Unsigned macOS builds now direct update attempts to the GitHub Releases page instead of entering an in-app download/install flow that cannot complete.
Focused UI cleanup fixes Markdown separators, removes ineffective styling and dead state, and makes scroll listeners passive.

Highlights

Multimodal users can test Basic and System prompts against text plus an image without leaving the standard test workspace.
macOS users receive a clear manual-download path and architecture guidance when automatic installation is unavailable.

Product Updates

Desktop

Added single-image test attachments to the Basic/System workspace, including Electron IPC support for image understanding and evaluation.
Added an explicit manual-release delivery policy for unsigned macOS builds, with release-page navigation and architecture-aware download guidance.

Web

Added single-image test attachments to the Basic/System workspace using the existing browser image-understanding path.
Preserved image-backed test input across session restoration and favorite example application while keeping stored snapshots asset-based.

Extension

No extension-specific user-facing changes shipped in this patch beyond version metadata synchronization.

Core/Infra

Extended prompt testing, evaluation, and the OpenAI-compatible adapter path to carry image attachments without changing text-only callers.
Added cross-runtime coverage for multimodal evaluation, Electron serialization, image persistence, updater delivery policy, and release navigation.

Fixes

Prevented stale Basic/System results from being saved after an image is added, replaced, or removed.
Preserved restored text and persisted session snapshots when runtime image storage temporarily fails.
Routed desktop image understanding through the Electron main process to avoid renderer CORS and proxy differences.
Fixed invalid Markdown divider styling, an ineffective output display class, non-passive scrolling, and unused or shadowed UI state.
Corrected the SSRF issue reference in the developer documentation.

Breaking Changes / Upgrade Notes

None.

Developer Notes

The release range is v2.11.7..HEAD.
Persisted Basic/System image input stores asset ID and MIME metadata rather than base64 payloads; runtime image data is restored from image storage.
Windows and Linux retain in-app update delivery. Unsigned macOS builds use manual release downloads.
Verification covered pnpm test:gate, node scripts/release-notes.js check v2.11.8, and git diff --check.
