Wave v0.14.2 adds block/tab badges, directory preview improvements, and assorted bug fixes.

Block/Tab Badges:

• Block Level Badges, Rolled up to Tabs - Blocks can now display icon badges (with color and priority) that roll up and are visible in the tab bar for at-a-glance status
• Bell Indicator Enabled by Default - Terminal bell badge is now on by default, lighting up the block and tab when your terminal rings the bell (controlled with term:bellindicator)
• wsh badge - New wsh badge command to set or clear badges on blocks from the command line. Supports icons, colors, priorities, beep, and PID-linked badges that auto-clear when a process exits. Great for use with Claude Code hooks to surface notification

• New block level badges, rollup up to tabs. Enabled terminal bell indicator and new wsh badge to set indicators manually
• Tab flagging
• Fix for "Save Session As..." bug (and some assorted fallout)
• Fix for "New Window" in Gnome dock not working/hanging
• Fix zoom notifications not going to all windows/tabs
• OSC52 now defaults to "always". So CLI apps can always write to the clipboard even when not focused (matches other terminals). Can be changed back to "focus" by setting config "term:osc52" to "focus"
• Updated anthropic-messages backend API for Wave AI (untested)
• Updated "About" Modal
• Improved mocking/testing infrastructure
