Line-by-line movement now stops on every comment and reply in rendered order; saving or clicking a note makes it active, with next/previous note navigation and persistent edit, reply, and delete shortcuts on the active note. ([#1044](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1044)) - Add session CLI support for replying to existing inline review notes with inherited code anchors. ([#1012](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1012)) - Add persistent mouse and keyboard diff selections with explicit Comment, Copy, and Clear actions, including multiline review-note anchors. ([#931](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/931)) - Let extension CLI commands attach validated provider-neutral review metadata when they delegate a patch into Hunk, expose it to extension panes and live-session snapshots, and show delegated change-request identity in a concise built-in top pane. ([#986](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/986)) - Add configurable `hunk.history.*` command keybindings to the interactive history view. ([#1039](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1039)) - Allow folders in the wide sidebar tree to be collapsed and expanded with the mouse while file navigation reveals destinations hidden inside collapsed folders. ([#1009](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1009)) - Show history-style commit metadata in the review-info panel when opening a commit from interactive `hunk log`, with a copyable right-aligned revision and public pane clipboard/theme support. ([#1016](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1016)) - Add cancellable contiguous multi-commit selection to unfiltered interactive history with Shift+Arrow, J/K, and Shift-click controls, opening the inclusive cumulative change in one review. ([#1031](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1031)) - Redesign interactive `hunk log` with themed GitHub-style day groups, account-like author handles, relative timestamps, and an optional commit graph view. ([#1011](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1011)) - Add `v` visual range selection plus shared full-page and half-page movement keys to interactive history. ([#1038](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1038)) - Add themed, static-first Git and Jujutsu history with compact output and an interactive browser that opens selected commits in Hunk. ([#979](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/979)) - Let extension lifecycle and custom-event handlers request a coalesced host review reload after external agents change reviewed files. ([#988](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/988)) - Open `hunk log` as an auto-responsive terminal browser with GitHub-inspired rows, right-aligned commit links and copy actions, while preserving static output for pipes and `--static`. ([#987](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/987)) - Add Hunk's desktop menu chrome, live theme picker, and provider-owned merge-parent selection to the interactive repository history browser. ([#983](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/983)) - Animate docked panes as they open and close, moving the review pane alongside them. ([#941](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/941)) - Rename the single-column diff layout to unified, add canonical OpenTUI and extension API v23 fields, and retain deprecated stack compatibility across existing CLI, config, command, OpenTUI, and extension integrations. ([#945](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/945)) #### Patch Changes - Keep diff view preferences active when moving between history and commit reviews in the same session. ([#1045](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1045)) - Upgrade the bundled Bun runtime to 1.4.2 for lower memory use and runtime fixes. ([#990](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/990)) - Show multi-commit history metadata as compact responsive rows with reusable click-to-copy revision actions, and let extension panes derive a preferred size from current review facts. ([#1032](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1032)) - Prevent delayed editor updates from crashing a review after a note is saved. ([#1050](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1050)) - Cap pane animation rendering at 30 FPS to avoid unnecessary CPU usage, and add an `animations = false` config setting for immediate pane transitions. ([#1036](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1036)) - Keep commit reviews responsive while bundled VCS commands run, and share one correctly owned extension lifecycle across retained history and embedded reviews. ([#992](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/992)) - Restore fast first-frame rendering for long wrapped split-view lines while preserving multiline copy selections and note range guides. ([#1043](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1043)) - Keep the themed history loading screen visible until a selected commit review is ready to claim the terminal. ([#989](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/989)) - Keep theme changes active when moving between history and review surfaces in the same session. ([#1040](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1040)) - Add an opt-in, privacy-preserving cached endpoint for curl-install release checks, rate-limit automatic checks, and retain direct GitHub fallback and analytics opt-outs. ([#969](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/969)) - Restore automatic and manual reloads for direct-file comparisons launched outside repositories. ([#1054](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1054)) - Make `alt` and `option` keybindings work with both legacy terminal and Kitty keyboard encodings while preserving distinct Meta bindings when the terminal reports them. ([#991](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/991)) - Keep `hunk log` and opened commit reviews in one terminal renderer so returning never exposes previous terminal output. ([#992](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/992)) - Report the underlying health-probe failure when a reachable session daemon port cannot be verified. ([#927](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/927)) - Prompt to save theme changes when quitting an interactive `hunk log` session, matching other review commands. ([#1015](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1015)) - Stop drawing duplicate right-side range connectors on threaded reply cards. ([#1046](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1046)) - Shorten full Git commit IDs to seven characters in comparison titles so the title bar stays compact. ([#1035](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1035)) - Print reviews as static plain text instead of launching the interactive TUI when stdout is not a terminal. ([#1029](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/1029)) - Keep suspended Hunk jobs alive so `fg` restores the TUI and its in-progress state. ([#996](https://github.com/modem-dev/hunk/pull/996)) - Keep wrapped diff rows responsive by sharing one hover target across their visual lines.
