This release introduces a brand-new guided onboarding experience for first-time users, adds more AI model choices, and reduces CPU usage so LIMA runs lighter in the background.

New Features

• LIMA now greets new users with a guided onboarding flow. On first run it welcomes you, asks for your name, and walks you through the main window and the four global hotkeys (describe screen, stop talking, mute microphone, pop up textbox). The whole tour is spoken aloud and answered by typing — you can say "next", "repeat", or "skip" to move through it at your own pace.
• Added GPT-5.5 as a selectable AI model.
• Added the Kimi K2.6 model (replacing GPT-5.2). Kimi K2.5 is now marked as legacy.
• AI model options in Settings now include short descriptions (for example, "Most capable, slower") to help you pick the right model for your needs.
• Added voice previews for Vietnamese and Tagalog so you can hear a voice before selecting it.

New Features

• Added Taglog language option in the installer.
• You can now control how much conversation history LIMA keeps (10–50 messages) and how many screenshots it sends per request (1–5) in Settings.
