A focused follow-up to the v3 beta that makes the desktop app's first moments calmer and more predictable — and asks your OS for a lot less.

• Always start at the workspace picker. The desktop app no longer reopens your last project on its own. You choose the workspace on every launch — recent ones are one click away — so your codebase graph indexes exactly the folder you meant, and nothing else.
• Far fewer permission prompts. Empryo doesn't touch a single file or open the network until you pick a workspace, and it no longer asks macOS or Windows for local-network access it never used. It only ever asks for what it actually needs, when it needs it.
• The right theme from the first frame. The picker and loading screen now follow your system light/dark setting instead of briefly flashing the wrong palette.

• The bundled agent sidecar now ships with a stable, hardened identity instead of an anonymous one, so the file access you grant is attributed to Empryo cleanly.

Same graph engine, same workshop — just a gentler way in.
