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/Commands: added /summary slash command for a non-destructive session summary - optional topic hint after the command focuses the output, and the prompt is customizable under Settings: Magic Prompts.

Improvements

  • Settings/Sync: settings updates now sync reliably across clients, and sidebar session pagination is steady in larger workspaces.
  • Sessions/Folders: folder changes now persist through server-backed endpoints.
  • Notifications: permission notifications are now suppressed when auto-accept is enabled.
  • UI: improved the bottom scroll shadow and hid the tasks row when there is no active work.
  • Reliability/Desktop: improved live event-stream recovery after transient stalls, wait briefly before failing chat actions during reconnects, and persist Electron server logs for easier disconnect debugging.

Fixes

  • Sessions/Reliability: fixed parent-child session sync during reconnects and navigation (thanks to @jwcrystal).
  • Chat/Files: improved changed-files handling in chat and restored quick file-open flows from pending changes (thanks to @jwcrystal).
  • Desktop/macOS: System color mode now tracks OS theme changes, traffic-light controls stay visible after dock restore, and update restart/changelog handling is more reliable.

  • Sessions/Folders: folder updates now persist through server-backed APIs.
  • UI: refined chat chrome with a cleaner bottom scroll fade and hidden idle tasks row.

Fixes

  • Sessions/Reliability: fixed parent-child session sync during reconnects and navigation (thanks to @jwcrystal).
