Archive Factory Droid chats with /archive and default new sessions to GPT-5.6 Sol

Factory Droid v0.209.0 (Desktop v0.166.0) adds /archive and Ctrl+X session archiving, defaults unset sessions to GPT-5.6 Sol, starts the CLI before slow org settings arrive, and suggests a live Droid Core model when credits run out.

Why this loop

Unset Factory Droid sessions now land on GPT-5.6 Sol, so any habit that left the model blank will silently change cost and behavior. Archive finished work with /archive or Ctrl+X and restore it from the Archived tab instead of keeping the active list crowded. Upgrade the CLI so it starts immediately when organization settings are slow; settings still apply when they arrive. When credits run out, take the available Droid Core model Factory suggests rather than a retired one. Desktop also keeps diff selections and the environment panel stable and centers file-link target lines during review.

Proposed actions

  1. Upgrade Factory Droid to v0.209.0 (Desktop v0.166.0), then open a new session with no model selected so it defaults to GPT-5.6 Sol.
  2. After finishing a Factory Droid session, type /archive or press Ctrl+X; restore it later from the Archived tab instead of leaving it in the active list.
  3. Upgrade the Factory CLI to Droid v0.209.0 so the process starts on time when organization settings load slowly; let those settings apply once they arrive.
  4. When Factory Droid reports you are out of credits, switch to the available Droid Core model it suggests instead of a retired model.
  5. In Factory Droid Desktop, open a file link and confirm the target line is centered, and keep text selected in a diff while the session sidebar updates.
