## Added Features - Add VS Code save-as-image flow for assistant messages via webview bridge + native save dialog. - Add hourly desktop update checks after startup. - Add new tool output display mode: `Changes` (auto-expand edit/write/patch only; keep activity expanded; mode guidance text). - Add GitHub PR attachment flow in chat input with PR picker + attached PR chip/details. - Add mobile overlay presentation for GitHub Issue and PR pickers (shared with desktop picker content). ## Fixes - Save-gate project icon updates until explicit Save; allow icon removal with same save-gated behavior. - Restore clickable chat action buttons in sticky header mode (desktop + Firefox hit-target issue). - Clamp sticky user messages to bounded chat height and allow internal scrolling. - Prevent drawer context crash during iPad/tablet orientation switching. - Improve text-selection action menu placement on narrow screens. - Move assistant message time into clock tooltip; keep duration display clean. - Hide `Link GitHub Issue` row in VS Code chat input area (GitHub flow is not yet ready there). - Remove laggy close animation in text-selection popover; keep open motion/positioning behavior. - Fetch branches when picker opens and cache empty; show loading state instead of false “No branches found”. - Fix share-image export metadata rendering (theme background resolution, timestamp rendering, footer alignment). - Scope MCP services status/toggles to active directory to avoid cross-project leakage. - Improve long user-message clamp behavior (40% cap variant, hidden scrollbar, scroll shadows, expansion detection). - Fix desktop `Check for Updates` menu handler; prevent duplicate checks; show clear success/error toasts. - Stabilize long user-message scrolling behavior (follow-up hardening). - Avoid premature web update failure on slower servers. - Restore user message image previews + fullscreen gallery navigation payload. - Repair desktop chat drag-and-drop image attachments when native drop coords are missing. - Move GitHub issue linking entry into Add attachment menu. - Align header context usage percentage visuals with context panel. - Align `@` file search with active project in all runtimes. - Route `@` file discovery through OpenCode SDK `find.files`; remove legacy `/api/fs/search` reliance. - Make chat `@` mention behavior consistent with files-style behavior. - Keep status-row todos in stable order after status changes; add compact status icons; replace noisy priority labels. ## Refactors / UX Consistency - Simplify chat attachment model and remove project file picker path. - Keep composer focused on `@` mention file flow. - Use direct `Attach files` action in VS Code instead of attachment dropdown path. - Unify issue/PR picker behavior between desktop and mobile overlays.
