ARC-Lite Beta Release (2026.04.05.00)

This update brings a big boost to learning, coding, and overall usability. Whether you're exploring Blockly or diving into code, things just got smarter, clearer, and more interactive.

Blockly Improvements

• Blockly now outputs live execution feedback to the console, showing when each command block starts.
  • Includes actions like waiting for a face, movement commands, delays, and more.
  • Makes debugging and understanding program flow much easier.

Playground Editors (NEW)

• Added Python and JavaScript playground editors for hands-on coding.
• Quickly experiment, test ideas, and learn programming directly inside ARC-Lite.

IntelliSense with Live Preview

• Introduced IntelliSense for Python and JavaScript:
  • Smart suggestions appear as you type.
  • Selecting an option shows a live preview of the full command inline before inserting.
• Control commands are now included in IntelliSense suggestions for faster development.

Enhanced Editor Layout

Smarter Help Button Placement

• The help icon is no longer fixed to the top-right corner.
