 - `bds-cli server` hosting the shared application engines over a loopback-by-default, public-key-only SSH service, with restrictive private key material, live authorization updates, terminal-session transport, CLI-change synchronization, ordered domain/task events, and native desktop remote-project selection.
 - bDS2-compatible Markdown/Liquid rendering with built-in macros rendered from bundled Liquid templates in isolated scopes (customizable with `macros/*` partial-template slugs), project-description homepage headings, category-controlled list title visibility, descriptive category archive titles, canonical multilingual and flat page routes for every configured blog language, recursive menus, calendar archives, feeds, a root hreflang sitemap, Pagefind, shared cached multicore full-site rendering, change-aware and forced full renders from the native Blog menu/CLI/TUI, and fast route/mtime-based incremental validation whose targeted repair refreshes affected aggregate pages through cancellable section task groups with bDS2-style per-URL progress.
 - Navigable generated-route preview in the app or system browser, with draft database overlays and published filesystem content.
-- 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.
+- Optional one-shot AI translation, description, analysis, taxonomy, and language-detection operations are available immediately after restart and 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.
