What’s New in v2.0.0

v2.0.0 is a major release focused on modernizing the report UI and removing the Gnuplot dependency.

Terminal-inspired UI redesign

The entire report interface has been redesigned with a terminal / OpenCode-inspired aesthetic: zero border-radius (sharp, angular corners), monospace fonts in headings and navigation, border-heavy layout, and a GitHub-style green heatmap. Both light and dark modes are supported with a one-click toggle — no flash of unstyled content when switching pages.

Chart.js replaces Gnuplot

All charts are now rendered interactively in the browser using Chart.js. Gnuplot is no longer required. Reports are fully self-contained HTML files.
