What this changes

## Unreleased in CHANGELOG.md was empty, so the release tool refused to cut 0.3.1. This writes it, from the code: every change merged since v0.3.0 (a03111e), plus #1044, which is still open (checked against its head 90d2201). No entry a PR wrote was taken on trust; each line was checked against that PR's diff, and several were rewritten or added where the code did more than the entry said.

It also moves the terminal entry #1037 put under ## 0.3.0 into Unreleased: v0.3.0 does not contain #1037.

Where each part comes from

• Before upgrading (ten items, no migrations: the last is still 0077_channel_opening): Desktop moving its OpenBot to the app's release on Start (Move an installed OpenBot to the app's release when the app starts #1043); Desktop getting a Composio key at its next Start (Get the Composio key from the CopilotKit sign-in again #1042); the operator's BOT_MODEL as the default while listed and the middle of the provider's line otherwise, nothing writing a BOT_MODEL on the operator's behalf (Compose's harness default, Desktop's Anthropic key), the model list read at start and every six hours plus models.dev, every listed model for one person, and the allowed list for a team (Pick the model and thinking effort for every Bot, from the provider's live list #1044); the one live shell's behaviour for commands: merged stdout and stderr, & jobs that keep running, one command at a time per Bot and person, TERM/PAGER (Bot terminal: one live shell you can watch and take control of #1037); upgrading server and computers together (Bot terminal: one live shell you can watch and take control of #1037, Make the live screen easier to drive by hand #996); the google-genai 2.x hold (Hold the Gemini harnesses on google-genai 2.x #1041, Name every built-in tool in words, and fix two flaky tests #1039).
• Sections: the Bot terminal (Bot terminal: one live shell you can watch and take control of #1037), driving the live screen (Keep the live screen responsive while a person drives it #995, Make the live screen easier to drive by hand #996), Desktop following the app's release and staging only the installation's images (Move an installed OpenBot to the app's release when the app starts #1043), Desktop apps from the CopilotKit sign-in (Get the Composio key from the CopilotKit sign-in again #1042), the ChatGPT sign-in redirect fixes (Answer late ChatGPT sign-in redirects instead of refusing the connection #1040), the model and thinking picker (Pick the model and thinking effort for every Bot, from the provider's live list #1044), built-in tool steps in words (Name every built-in tool in words, and fix two flaky tests #1039), the Mastra lockfile (Name every built-in tool in words, and fix two flaky tests #1039).

If #1044 does not merge before the cut

Its lines are Before-upgrading items three to seven and the "Pick the model and thinking effort" section. Drop them. Its head no longer edits CHANGELOG.md, so there is no conflict either way.
