  • Named empty workspaces and safer replace flows
  • Theme-safe contrast and reduced-motion feedback

Onboarding, diagnostics, and test foundations

  • First-run Templates onboarding
  • Privacy-safe diagnostics export
  • Renderer crash and hang recovery
  • Unit and Electron smoke suites
A changelog is part release note, part trust record, and part reminder that “done” should describe behavior, not intention.
