+## [1.7.80] - 2026-05-05
+
+WebUI overhaul Phase 1 + one small Claude-session UX fix.
+
 ### Added
 
-- **WebUI test infrastructure + TUI⇄web parity matrix (PR-A of WebUI overhaul, [PR #804](https://github.com/asheshgoplani/agent-deck/pull/804)).** Foundation PR for the WebUI redesign — pure test infrastructure with no design changes. Adds Vitest unit tests (`tests/web/unit/`, jsdom + @testing-library/preact, 11 specs against `api.js` + `state.js`), Playwright e2e + screenshot regression (`tests/web/e2e/`, 78 specs across 3 viewports — smoke, parity-actions, parity-state, visual baselines), an in-memory web fixture binary (`tests/web/fixtures/cmd/web-fixture/main.go`), the TUI ↔ web parity matrix at `tests/web/PARITY_MATRIX.md` cataloging 47 actions and ~50 state fields (surfaces a 64% action gap and 76% state-field gap from TUI to web), a Go runtime sync-invariant test at `internal/web/parity_test.go` that fires actions through both the HTTP surface and the mutator and asserts equal observable state, `Makefile` targets (`test-web`, `test-web-unit`, `test-web-e2e`, `test-web-install`), and a `.github/workflows/web-tests.yml` CI workflow. Lifecycle endpoints get positive parity tests; missing endpoints get "stay missing" regression guards so any silent addition fails the build until the matrix is updated in lockstep. Stack stays Preact + htm + signals (already vendored). PR-B (visual redesign) builds on top of this. Plan: `documentation/webui-overhaul-plan.md`.

Lifecycle endpoints get positive parity tests; missing endpoints get "stay missing" regression guards so any silent addition fails the build until the matrix is updated in lockstep. Three rounds of dual-review (Claude + Codex sibling-topology) drove the test-fidelity hardening. Stack stays Preact + htm + signals (already vendored). PR-B (visual redesign) builds on top of this.

+### Fixed
+
+- **Persist Claude New Session defaults** ([PR #853](https://github.com/asheshgoplani/agent-deck/pull/853), thanks @yaroshevych). Three new TOML keys on `[claude]` (`extra_args`, `use_chrome`, `use_teammate_mode`) persisted on Claude session creation and replayed via `SetDefaults`. Backward compatible: missing keys load as zero values. Note: every New Session creation now overwrites `cfg.Claude.DangerousMode / AllowDangerousMode / AutoMode` with whatever the dialog held — by design, but a hand-edited `dangerous_mode = true` in `config.toml` will flip if the box is unchecked.
