Bohdan Triapitsyn d9b9c8edab feat(changelog): one source file per release, generated outputs
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: added clickable file-path links in assistant messages (including line targeting) (thanks to @yulia-ivashko).
  • Chat: added a new Changes tool-output mode that expands edits/patches by default while keeping activity readable (thanks to @iamhenry).
  • Chat/GitHub: added Attach menu actions to link GitHub issues and PRs directly in any session.
  • Shortcuts/Models: added favorite-model cycling shortcuts (thanks to @iamhenry).
  • Sessions: added active-project session search in the sidebar, with clearer match behavior and easier clearing during filtering (thanks to @KJdotIO).
  • Mobile/Projects: added long-press project editing with a bottom-sheet panel and drag-to-reorder support (thanks to @Jovines).
  • Web/PWA/Android: added improved install UX with pre-install naming and manifest shortcut updates (thanks to @shekohex).

Improvements

  • Chat: in-progress tools now appear immediately and stay live in collapsed activity view (thanks to @nelsonPires5).
  • Chat: improved long user-message behavior in sticky mode with bounded height, internal scrolling, and cleaner action hit targets.
  • Chat/Files: improved @ file discovery and mention behavior with project-scoped search and more consistent matching.
  • Worktrees/GitHub: streamlined worktree creation with a unified flow for branches, issues, and PR-linked sessions, including cleaner validation and faster branch loading.
  • Files/Desktop: improved Open In actions from file views/editors, including app selection behavior and tighter integration for opening focused files (thanks to @yulia-ivashko).
  • UI: interactive controls now consistently show pointer cursors.
  • Security/Reliability: hardened terminal auth, tightened skill-file path protections, and reduced sensitive request logging exposure for safer day-to-day usage (thanks to @yulia-ivashko).

Fixes

  • Chat/Files: restored user image previews/fullscreen navigation and improved text-selection action placement on narrow layouts.
  • Worktrees/Git: fixed branch/PR source resolution (including slash-named branches and fork PR heads).
