+- Chat: added user-message display controls for plain-text rendering and sticky headers, so you can tune readability to match your preferences.
+- Chat/UI: overhauled the context panel with reusable tabs and embedded session chat (_beta_), making parallel context work easier without losing place.
+- Chat: improved code block presentation with cleaner action alignment, restored horizontal scrolling, and polished themed highlighting across chat messages and tool output (thanks to @nelsonPires5).
+- Diff: added quick open-in-editor actions from diff views that jump to the first changed line, so it is faster to move from review to edits.
+- Git: refined Git sidebar tab behavior and spacing, plus bulk-revert with confirmations for easier cleanup.
+- Git: fixed commit staging edge cases by filtering stale deleted paths before staging, reducing pathspec commit failures.
+- Git/Worktrees: restored branch rename/edit controls in draft sessions when working in a worktree directory, so branch actions stay available earlier.
+- Chat: model picker now supports collapsible provider groups and remembers expanded state between sessions.
+- Settings: reorganized chat display settings into a more compact two-column layout, so more new options are easier to navigate.
+- Mobile/UI: fixed session-title overflow in compact headers so running/unread indicators and actions remain visible (thanks to @iamhenry).
