## Highlights

- **Web previews create a much tighter fix loop**: Open a live preview
from a session, highlight the exact part of the page that needs work,
and tell the model what to change right from the webpage. CodeNomad
sends that page and element context back into chat so the LLM can act on
specific visual feedback instead of vague descriptions.
- **Bringing repositories into CodeNomad is much easier**: You can now
clone a Git repository directly from the workspace picker, making it
faster to start work on a fresh project without leaving the app.
- **Searching inside long conversations is finally practical**: Session
history search can now find matches across messages, tool output, and
related content, helping you jump straight to the part of a conversation
you need.
- **Sessions are easier to manage at a glance**: Parent sessions now
show aggregated token and cost totals across subagents, the message
timeline can be hidden when you want more room, and tabs can be
reordered.
- **Mobile views and narrow screens feel much better**: Prompt controls,
message actions, timeline behavior, and other session UI pieces adapt
more cleanly when space gets tight.

## What’s Improved

- **Smoother workspace startup**: The home screen, empty states, and
startup flow are clearer, and returning between active projects and the
home view feels more natural.
- **More useful browsing and previewing**: Markdown now supports math
rendering, web previews are integrated into the session flow, and
unrestricted browsing respects the selected workspace root more
reliably.
- **Cleaner model and agent selection**: Models are grouped by provider,
and primary agent selection now follows OpenCode’s visibility rules more
closely.
- **Better prompt and attachment handling**: File attachment picking is
more consistent with drag-and-drop behavior, and prompt controls are
laid out more clearly in compact layouts.
- **More self-contained packaging**: Desktop builds do a better job
bundling the runtime, shipping the CodeNomad OpenCode plugin, and
producing more consistent release artifacts.

## Fixes

- **Permission flows are more reliable**: Stale permission events are
ignored after a reply, permission metadata is preserved more safely, and
attachment context survives more consistently.
- **Idle/session indicators behave more predictably**: Idle badges now
stay visible until they are actually seen, and session status behavior
is easier to understand across parent and child sessions.
- **Desktop and packaged builds are more dependable**: Bundled resources
refresh more reliably, packaged session storage is isolated correctly,
remote window titles are preserved, and Windows resource preparation
avoids a brittle shell path.
- **Compact layouts are less frustrating**: Message actions, tool-call
controls, timeline spacing, and prompt controls behave better in narrow
center panes and smaller screens.
- **Release/update navigation is clearer**: Update links stay visible
more reliably, making it easier to see and open release information when
an update is available.

+- When creating commits, use detailed commit messages: a concise conventional-style subject followed by body paragraphs that explain the user-visible behavior change, the implementation approach, important edge cases or platform considerations, and the validation or test coverage added.
+- Prefer messages that explain why the change exists and how regressions are prevented, not just a list of touched files.
