A focused follow-up to the last beta. The biggest fix: in compiled builds the terminal chat could show raw markdown — literal # headings and backticks — instead of formatted text, because the highlighter's grammar and worker weren't being bundled into the binary. They are now, so chat reads the way it should. On the desktop you can zoom the entire interface with a keystroke, model pricing is refreshed and pulled live so cost estimates stay honest, and the release itself is safer to ship: every Windows build is now executed and self-checked before it goes out.

• Chat renders formatted text again. In compiled builds the terminal chat could display raw markdown instead of rendered headings, code blocks, and emphasis, because the syntax grammar and the parser worker that drive highlighting weren't embedded in the binary. They're bundled now, so formatting shows up correctly in every packaged build.
• Desktop menus read as solid. A lone floating menu or popup could look semi-transparent and hard to read. Their opacity is now unified with the rest of the desktop, so they render solid.

• Zoom the whole desktop interface. Press Cmd/Ctrl with +, -, or 0 to scale the entire app — layout and all, crisply re-rendered rather than just bumping the font size. Your zoom level is remembered across launches.
• `empryo doctor` now checks the whole stack. The self-check goes beyond the core runtime: it drives the chat-markdown highlight pipeline, spawns the embedded genome and io workers and round-trips them, and binds the fff and ghostty native engines. If a subsystem is broken, doctor tells you before it bites you mid-session.

• Model prices are accurate to the day. Tiered model pricing now flows through the live models.dev catalog, with rates refreshed as of 2026-07-18, so the cost figures Empryo shows track what providers actually charge.
• Windows builds are smoke-tested before they ship. The Windows executable is now run and self-checked at build time, closing the gap where a Windows-only breakage could ship unnoticed from a non-Windows release machine.
• Every macOS and Linux build is still executed before it ships — empryo doctor must load the native runtime and parse real code inside a Linux container, and under Rosetta for Intel macOS.
