Bohdan Triapitsyn a1bc1368ae docs(changelog): title every release and require one
Every release file now carries a title: two to six plain words naming the
change a user would remember it for. The generator refuses a release without
one, promote carries the title from unreleased.md, and the unreleased
template opens with a title line. The changelog-authoring skill and the
format README describe how to write it.

title: A rebuilt terminal and pinned messages
---
## App
### New
- **Terminal:** terminal sessions are rebuilt on Web, Desktop, and Mobile. They draw faster, keep their scrollback after a reconnect, and get Unicode and full-screen programs right.
- **Pinned messages:** pin a user or assistant message and its text comes back to the agent after the conversation is compacted.
- Terminal: pick the shell and whether it starts as a login shell, restart a session, and attach the selected output to the chat.
- Terminal: a theme change applies to open terminals right away.
- Mobile: a full-screen terminal workspace with touch scrolling and selection, quick keys, and Ctrl and Alt input.
- Sessions: a new draft or session stays with the project selected in the sidebar, including workspaces with nested or sibling projects (thanks to @bashrusakh).
- Session goals: goal details show which model ran the latest successful evaluation.
### Improvements
- Settings: every page uses the same responsive layout, and navigation is grouped into OpenChamber, Workspace, OpenCode, and Library.
- Settings: a save failure is shown in the page header.
- Settings: agent tool permissions separate inherited rules from explicit ones and list session-granted rules on their own (thanks to @makeittech).
### Fixes
- Chat: when creating a session fails, the new-session draft stays open with the prompt you submitted.
- Session goals: an audit waits while direct subagents are still working.
- Small Model: provider API keys given through environment variables or files work for summaries, goal audits, and the rest of the Small Model features.
- Small Model: Gemini 3 Flash models use the thinking setting they support.
- VS Code: per-session permission auto-accept works again, survives an extension restart, and covers subagent sessions while an OpenChamber view is open.
- Mobile/Android: an update download picks the APK when the release also ships an Android App Bundle.
