Release notes now live in changelog/<version>.md (front matter with version and date, then ## App and ## VS Code sections grouped into New, Improvements, Fixes, Misc) plus changelog/unreleased.md for what has not shipped. `bun run changelog:build` renders CHANGELOG.md, packages/vscode/CHANGELOG.md, and changelog/index.json from them; `changelog:check` fails when the outputs are behind and runs in CI and in release:prepare. `oc-dev create-release` promotes unreleased.md to the versioned file dated today and rebuilds. The existing history was split mechanically: every bullet kept, sorted into groups by keyword, five hand-typed headers with one-digit days normalised to YYYY-MM-DD (the update dialog matched none of them). The generated files keep today's release headers, which the update dialog, the release workflow, and the website match by regex.

App
New
- Chat: Ctrl/Cmd+L now adds the selected text to the chat input, or focuses it when nothing is selected; the toggle-sidebar shortcut moved to Ctrl/Cmd+Alt+L.
Improvements
- Providers: signing in to an OAuth-only provider now actually completes — the browser login is stored and the provider list updates instead of remaining signed out. OAuth-only providers show a Connect flow instead of an API key form, and their models stay hidden until you are signed in.
- Providers: sign-ins that need extra details (such as GitHub Copilot Enterprise) now ask for them before opening the browser, and device codes come with a working copy button.
- Chat: a manually chosen model now stays selected after a delegated subtask finishes, instead of reverting to the agent's default model.
Fixes
- Sessions: archived sessions can now be restored to the active list — from the sidebar context menu, the archived-sessions page, or the bulk-selection bar — instead of only offering permanent deletion (thanks to @makeittech).
- Walkthrough: models without a working provider login no longer appear in the walkthrough picker, and Generate stays disabled until a usable model is selected instead of failing with a raw provider error.
- Walkthrough: connecting to a server older than the app now says the server needs updating instead of showing a raw HTML parsing error, and the "Critical" tag is now "Key change" with a tooltip so it no longer reads as a problem found in your code.
- Agents/CLI: sending a prompt that never reaches its session is now reported as failed, and an unavailable model, agent, or variant is rejected with a clear error before anything is created.
- Desktop/Linux: "Open in Terminal" no longer launches a non-terminal app that is set as the terminal launcher (thanks to @kydorn).
