• WebSocket connection: After reconnecting to the network, a new WebSocket connection is established instead of attempting to reuse the old one, as it was closed when the network disconnected.

• Uploading Images in the Chat: Images are displayed upon uploading image files in the chat.

• Streaming: The Stop button will now disappear once streaming is complete.

  • When the Stop button is visible and a user opens a new space, it will no longer remain visible.
  • After the Stop button is removed, the chat input placeholder will no longer incorrectly display "Generating answer."
