docs(changelog): rewrite the last thirty releases for readers

Browse Source 
Releases 1.13.1 through 1.22.1 are regrouped by what each change is
(New, Improvements, Fixes, Misc) and reworded in the voice the
changelog-authoring skill asks for: one or two plain sentences per
bullet, the symptom or the capability named, no mechanism. Packed
bullets were split, every fact and every contributor credit kept.
Older releases keep the mechanical grouping.

## App
### New
- **Agents/CLI:** agents on managed local instances can now create, send to, fork, inspect, and wait for sessions; create isolated worktrees; and manage scheduled tasks through the OpenChamber tool. The CLI adds matching `session`, `schedule`, `projects`, and `models` commands, and a new Schedule a Task starter guides task setup from chat.
- Chat: selecting text from Markdown code blocks now preserves the code fences, language, and surrounding block structure when adding it to the composer or starting a new session (thanks to @ChangeHow).
- Settings: added an option to hide starter suggestions on the new-session screen.
- Usage: added Crof and NeuralWatt quota tracking with subscription kWh, independent key-allowance windows, and credits-balance fallback across the web server and VS Code extension (thanks to @kydorn).
- **Agents:** through the OpenChamber tool, an agent on a managed local instance can create, send to, fork, inspect, and wait for sessions, make an isolated worktree, and manage scheduled tasks. A new Schedule a Task starter walks you through setting one up from chat.
- **Context panel:** Changes, pull requests, files, terminal, notes, plans, previews, and side chats live in one resizable panel with a rail to switch between them. The pull-request view shows checks and comments as they land, and a failed check or a comment can go straight into a chat draft.
- CLI: new `session`, `schedule`, `projects`, and `models` commands.
- Chat: text selected from a Markdown code block keeps its fences, language, and block structure when you add it to the composer or start a session with it (thanks to @ChangeHow).
- Settings: an option hides starter suggestions on the new-session screen.
- Usage: Crof and NeuralWatt quotas are tracked, with subscription kWh, separate key-allowance windows, and a credits balance to fall back on (thanks to @kydorn).
- Desktop/Linux: official AppImage builds for x64 and arm64, with in-app updates, frameless window controls, minimize to the system tray, launch at login, several windows at once, and "Open in" for the apps it finds installed (thanks to @BestSithInEU, @jibanez-staticduo, @makeittech).
### Improvements
- **Sidebar:** sessions are organized into Recent and project zones with worktree-grouped or flat views. Scheduled tasks, archived sessions, multi-run, and worktree management now open as full-page views from the sidebar.
- Chat composer: prompts now render Markdown emphasis, attention lines, file and agent mentions, slash commands, snippets, attachment citations, and `~path` references directly while you type. File mentions can be edited in place, and the mobile composer grows with its content instead of using a separate fullscreen gesture.
- Chat/Permissions: sending a message while a permission prompt is open now denies pending requests in the session and its subagents, then queues the message for the next turn (thanks to @tomzx).
- Chat/Subagents: subagent chats can be prompted when direct subagent prompting is enabled, even if the parent session has not loaded.
- Chat: jumping to messages in long conversations now lands on the intended message when earlier rows have not been rendered yet.
- Mobile/iOS: push notifications now use Apple’s production service by default (thanks to @natheihei).
- Mobile/iOS: notifications now work for development builds installed from Xcode — the app detects its Apple push environment and the server delivers each device to the matching endpoint, so dev (sandbox) and TestFlight/App Store (production) installs both receive pushes.
- **Sidebar:** sessions sit in Recent and per-project zones, grouped by worktree or flat. Scheduled tasks, archived sessions, multi-run, and worktree management open as full pages from the sidebar.
- Chat composer: what you type renders as you type it, with Markdown emphasis, attention lines, file and agent mentions, slash commands, snippets, attachment citations, and `~path` references. A file mention can be edited in place, and the mobile composer grows with its content.
- Chat/Permissions: sending a message while a permission prompt is open denies what is pending in the session and its subagents, then queues your message for the next turn (thanks to @tomzx).
- Chat/Subagents: a subagent chat can be prompted while direct subagent prompting is on, even before the parent session has loaded.
- Mobile/iOS: push notifications go through Apple's production service by default (thanks to @natheihei).
### Fixes
- **Context panel:** a new surface rail brings Changes, pull requests, files, terminal, notes, plans, previews, and side chats into one resizable panel. The pull-request surface now shows live checks and comments, and can attach failed checks or comments to a chat draft.
- **Desktop/Linux:** official AppImage releases for x64 and arm64, with in-app updates, frameless window controls, system tray minimize, launch at login, multi-window support, and “Open in” for discovered installed apps. Missing update manifests are treated as “no update” instead of a hard failure, and updater errors surface in About/sidebar (thanks to @BestSithInEU, @jibanez-staticduo, @makeittech).
- Desktop/Linux: fixed an intermittent freeze or crash while chats were streaming with the system tray enabled (thanks to @kydorn).
- Small Model: GitHub Copilot models now use their supported API, fixing summaries, goal audits, commit messages, and other Small Model actions for models that do not support Chat Completions (thanks to @jakoss).
- Chat: code blocks no longer shift line layout or merge adjacent text while rendering, and copied code keeps its original text (thanks to @ChangeHow).
- Mobile/Android: terminal taps now open the keyboard, text and backspace input work with Android keyboards, and closing a focused terminal no longer leaves the app unresponsive.
- Shortcuts: fixed a regression where double-Escape could be primed when the current session was not active.
- Chat: jumping to a message in a long conversation lands on the right one even when the rows above it have not been drawn yet.
- Chat: code blocks stop shifting lines and merging into nearby text while they render, and copied code keeps its original text (thanks to @ChangeHow).
- Small Model: GitHub Copilot models use the API they support, so summaries, goal audits, commit messages, and other Small Model actions work with models that have no Chat Completions (thanks to @jakoss).
- Desktop/Linux: the app no longer freezes or crashes now and then while a chat streams with the system tray on (thanks to @kydorn).
- Desktop/Linux: a missing update manifest counts as "no update" instead of failing, and updater errors show in About and the sidebar (thanks to @BestSithInEU, @jibanez-staticduo, @makeittech).
- Mobile/iOS: notifications reach development builds installed from Xcode. The app works out which Apple push environment it is in, so sandbox and TestFlight or App Store installs both get them.
- Mobile/Android: tapping the terminal opens the keyboard, typing and backspace work with Android keyboards, and closing a focused terminal leaves the app responsive.
- Shortcuts: double-Escape can no longer be primed while the current session is not the active one.
## VS Code
### New

### Improvements
- **Chat composer:** prompts now render Markdown emphasis, attention lines, file and agent mentions, slash commands, snippets, attachment citations, and `~path` references directly while you type. File mentions can be edited in place.
- Sessions: the sidebar now uses clearer project zones and single-line session rows, with folders shown after ungrouped sessions and archived sessions kept in their existing workspace sections.
- Chat/Permissions: sending a message while a permission prompt is open now denies pending requests in the session and its subagents, then queues the message for the next turn (thanks to @tomzx).
- Chat/Subagents: subagent chats can be prompted when direct subagent prompting is enabled, even if the parent session has not loaded.

- Sessions: fixed missing activity-based sorting; chats now move in the list when they start or finish instead of repeatedly reordering while a response streams.
- Chat: code blocks no longer shift line layout or merge adjacent text while rendering, and copied code keeps its original text (thanks to @ChangeHow).
- Shortcuts: fixed a regression where double-Escape could be primed when the current session was not active.
- Usage: added Crof and NeuralWatt quota tracking, including the missing Crof switch arm that previously fell back to "Unsupported provider" (thanks to @kydorn).
- Sessions: chats sort by activity again. A chat moves in the list when it starts or finishes, and stops reshuffling while a response streams.
- Chat: jumping to a message in a long conversation lands on the right one even when the rows above it have not been drawn yet.
- Chat: code blocks stop shifting lines and merging into nearby text while they render, and copied code keeps its original text (thanks to @ChangeHow).
