### 0.16.0

June 19, 2026

#### Minor Changes

- Refresh Hunk's built-in theme system, default to `github-dark-default`, and simplify theme selection around one `theme` setting with `View -> Themes…` / `t` opening the selector. Custom themes can inherit from any built-in theme with `custom_theme.base` while keeping explicit syntax color overrides, and removed theme ids such as `graphite` and `paper` remain accepted as compatibility aliases.

#### Patch Changes

- Allow session comment cleanup commands to remove human `c` notes: `comment rm` accepts `user:*` note ids, and `comment clear --include-user`/`--all` clears user notes alongside live agent comments.
- Adopt Changesets for release-note fragments so pull requests can avoid conflicting `CHANGELOG.md` edits.
- Prevent standalone Hunk binaries from loading `bunfig.toml` files from the caller's working directory.
- Improve React review-stream responsiveness by reducing offscreen file mounting work while preserving adjacent highlight prefetching.
- Honor explicit split layout mode in static pager output for captured hosts like LazyGit.
- Improve generated theme contrast checks for built-in themes, including diff rows, metadata, chrome, and fallback token colors.
- Require an explicit click or keyboard action before previewing a theme from the theme selector, while keeping mouse-wheel navigation available inside the selector.
