 - Settings/Projects: a project can now pin a thinking level next to its model, for models that offer levels. Both sit in one Defaults for new chats group, laid out like the Sessions defaults.
 - **Settings:** the project selector on Providers, Agents, MCP, Commands and Skills now only changes what those pages show. It used to switch the whole app, so opening another project's configuration moved your chat, session list and file tree with it.
 - Settings/Providers: the provider you select no longer jumps to a different one on its own. Changing the chat's model or agent, and background provider refreshes, used to move the settings selection with them.
+- **Chat: /btw side questions.** Type `/btw <question>` to ask something off-topic in a temporary session forked from the current conversation, so it inherits the full context but leaves the chat itself untouched. The answer streams into a panel above the composer, which talks to that session while the panel is open; you can collapse it to a slim header bar, keep it as a full session, or discard it. The temporary session stays out of the sidebar and session lists until you keep it (thanks to @jaygupta17).
 - **Chat sessions:** start chats without choosing a project. They live in their own Chats section, rather than inheriting a project's repository and worktree context.
 - **Skills catalog:** browse curated GitHub skill collections in a card-based catalog with cross-source search, skill counts, stars, recent updates, and links back to each skill's repository.
 - **Diff:** the context-panel diff can now show every change on the current branch against its base branch. OpenChamber detects the base when Git knows it, or lets you choose one once when it does not.

 - Git: generating a pull request description now picks up the repository's own PR template when it has one, so the draft comes back in your project's sections and checklists instead of the built-in Summary/Why/Testing layout.
 - Sidebar: switch between the full project list and a focused view of one project. Sessions created outside OpenChamber now also appear in the sidebar and Recent list without a page refresh (thanks to @tomzx).
 - Chat: if OpenCode restarts while a response is still running, the chat now stops with an interrupted state and a notification to continue instead of hanging silently (thanks to @sum117).
+- Chat: while a reply streams, the model status line under the last message now turns into the finished message's info row in place, instead of jumping when the reply completes.
 - Chat: newly sent messages and syntax-highlighted code blocks no longer briefly flicker. Bash output can also grow with its content instead of being cut off.
 - Usage: Z.ai credit limits now appear alongside its other quota windows.
 - Git: pull-request checks in Work status stay current as their status changes.
