"AI Breakdown" Feature Now Available:
- Full-Book Breakdown: Initiate breakdown directly from the table of contents (under 100 pages for direct breakdown; over 100 pages, break down by chapter).

- Question-Driven Mode: A Q&A-focused approach for structured breakdowns targeting specific goals: Deep Understanding / Practical Application / Knowledge Organization / Teaching Preparation / Problem Solving.
- Custom Requirements & Quick Options: Input natural language to fine-tune breakdown goals; use quick options (e.g., "Add Mnemonic," "Grade by Difficulty") to generate professional prompts with one click, precisely controlling output granularity.
- Background Operation: Breakdown tasks run silently in the background, allowing uninterrupted work while processing long documents.

New Features & Optimizations:
AI Interaction & Core Capabilities:
- New Points Cost Indicator: Estimated points/credit consumption is clearly displayed when using AI TOC and the new AI Breakdown feature for greater transparency.
- Multimodal & Model Selection: Light and Balanced models now natively support **multimodal input**, significantly improving recognition accuracy for mixed text and image content.
- Automated Review Flow: The new add_to_review parameter for tool calls allows AI-generated cards to be **automatically added to the review queue**, closing the "Breakdown-Review" loop.
Core Experience Improvements:
- New Toggle Eraser Shortcut (Shift+E): Optimizes tool switching efficiency during handwritten note-taking for a smoother writing and editing experience.
