title: Chat recovers automatically when it stalls
---

## App

### New
- Chat: added message stall detection with automatic soft resync.

### Improvements
- Git: PR picker now validates local branch existence and includes a refresh action.
- Git: worktree integration now syncs clean target directories before merging.
- VSCode: session activity status now updates reliably even when the webview is hidden.
- Web: session activity tracking now works consistently across browser tabs.

### Fixes
- Chat: fixed "Load older" button behavior in chat with proper pagination implementation.
- Diff: fixed memory leak when viewing many modified files; large changesets now lazy-load for smooth performance.
- Reliability: plans directory no longer errors when missing.
