Recent updates
v1.7.4
LATEST- Bumped app/package/runtime version from `1.7.3` to `1.7.4`.
- VM string inputs now default to a single visible row and automatically expand to two rows only when multiline content is present.
- State machine controls are now flattened to a single group per state machine (no extra nested "State Machines" wrapper), and only rendered when that state machine has inputs.
v1.7.3
- Bumped app/package/runtime version from `1.7.2` to `1.7.3`.
- VM string inputs now use multiline text areas so line breaks are preserved when rendering existing values.
- Editing string inputs no longer collapses multiline text into a single line.
v1.7.2
- Script Editor toolbar toggle for Console Mode that swaps the Event Console body to a Chobitsu-backed console/REPL surface.
- In-app REPL execution path using Chobitsu `Runtime.evaluate` for live commands against app globals (including `window.riveInst`).
- Dedicated console output stream in Console Mode with command/result/error rows plus mirrored runtime/UI event entries.
- Bumped app/package/runtime manifests from `1.7.1` to `1.7.2`.
- Added desktop DevTools open action directly in the Script Editor toolbar.
- Enabled Tauri `devtools` feature and release-build command path for opening DevTools from app UI.
- Desktop-style interaction behavior: non-editable UI labels/controls are now non-selectable while text selection remains available in editable fields and the script editor.
