Pixelbot's first chat response could disappear when the URL changed, several media defaults targeted retired APIs, and the README led with contributor details. This refresh makes the app a clearer, runnable Pixeltable showcase on a reproducible 0.7.18 stack.

• Preserve pending chat turns, snapshot queued requests, scope recent context to the conversation, honor token limits, and keep failures actionable.
• Use current Gemini image/video and Claude request contracts. Read stored embedding vectors, handle small maps, fix video resizing, and install Studio's missing runtime dependencies.
• Add mobile navigation, compact panel layouts, accessible control names, reduced motion, and truthful waiting states.
• Replace the README with a capability tour, screenshot, working setup sequence, and the requested awesome-pixeltable-apps link. Move contributor detail into a development guide and correct stale architecture claims.
• Update frontend dependencies and rebuild the packaged interface.

Validation: 51 backend tests and 12 frontend checks pass; Ruff, mypy, ESLint, TypeScript/Vite, package build/import, and fresh Python 3.11 resolution pass. The managed local service, CSV edit/undo flow, eight local video operations, real CLIP indexing/search, and a DETR forward pass were exercised. The baseline schema reconciles through five additive updates with no destructive operations or computed-column backfills; all 19 models then agree. npm audit reports zero known vulnerabilities.

Paid model calls and real notifications were not run; those provider contracts are mocked. See the review evidence for precise coverage and remaining limits.
