Shared Mode and local agents: collaboration with clear boundaries

This release brings together two connected workflows: deliberately share one existing local Markdown file with one workspace, then let a local OpenClaw agent investigate a selected node and return a proposal within that workspace.

The file remains Markdown throughout. BloomMD never uploads the rest of the folder or additional notes automatically. After sharing, the Desktop app shows the state on the file itself: connected, offline, conflict, or access revoked. Disconnect share ends only the binding; the local file and cloud document remain available.

Teams continue to use explicit workspace roles: owners invite and manage access, editors write, and viewers read. The same cloud document can be opened from the browser, Desktop app, and a deliberately bound Obsidian note.

OpenClaw adds assistance without creating unattended write access. A request starts at the selected node, the agent receives only that context, and its change returns as a reviewable proposal. Review structure as a tree and text as Markdown; only Accept writes the result to the workspace.
