 - Optional one-shot AI translation, description, analysis, taxonomy, and language-detection operations run in background tasks with editor-level waiting indicators, using provider-portable JSON-only requests through independent online and local OpenAI-compatible profiles. Each profile has secure credentials, persistently discovered chat/title/image model selections, explicit tool/vision overrides, chat testing, and restart-persistent status-bar airplane-mode routing.
 - Persistent conversational AI with safe Markdown, streamed and cancellable responses, model/session/token tracking, bounded project-aware blog tools, and localized conversation management in the Chat workspace. Allowlisted render tools add persistent native cards, charts, forms, lists, metrics, mind maps, tables, and tabs without executing assistant-provided HTML or JavaScript.
 - SSH-agent-based SCP or rsync publishing.

+- Integrated Git workflow for each blog project's current repository, with repository initialization, read-only origin discovery, Git LFS image tracking, status and diffs, branch/file history with bDS2-compatible sync-status colors, commits, cancellable fetch/pull/push, and post-pull filesystem reconciliation; network actions respect airplane mode.
 - Site, media, and translation validation plus `ruds://new-post` Blogmark capture and Lua transforms; captures open directly in the post editor and defer automatic translation until an explicit manual save, which queues one task per still-missing language. Publishing never starts automatic translation. bDS2 keeps its separate `bds2://` bookmarklet protocol.
 
 RuDS uses no JavaScript application runtime and loads no CSS or JavaScript from CDNs. The preview is served by the Rust application and displayed by the operating-system webview.
