## App

### New

- Sessions: added project header worktree button, active-session loader, and right-click context menu in the sessions sidebar (thanks to @nilskroe).
- Git: added gitmoji picker in commit message composer with cached emoji list (thanks to @TaylorBeeston).
- UI: added one-click diagnostics copy in the About dialog.

### Improvements

- Chat: optimized message loading for opening sessions.
- VSCode: tuned layout breakpoint and server readiness timeout for steady startup.
