Release notes

What's new in v0.2.28

Added
- Press Cmd+F (Ctrl+F on Windows/Linux) inside a conversation to search for text, with match-case and match-whole-word toggles, navigation between matches, and a configurable dialog corner in General settings.
- Quick chats now show token usage, context window, and AI credit spend in the chat title menu, matching the detail already available in regular sessions.
- When starting a session from an issue, a new "New session in repository..." option in the start menu lets you pick which of your project repositories the session opens in.

Changed
- Comments in the pull request and merge drawers now render their content progressively as you scroll, reducing load time when opening pull requests with many comments.
- Issue pills above the composer now show the entity type in the label (for example 'Issue #1234'), matching the existing pattern used for pull request pills ('PR #6483').
- Pasting a GitHub URL (e.g. github.com/org/repo/pull/123) into the "Add GitHub repository" search now automatically extracts the repository and searches for it instead of treating the full URL as a query.
- Scheduled session automations now show a badge in the sidebar and display the next scheduled run time in the hover preview.
- The banner shown during an in-progress merge, rebase, cherry-pick, or revert now reads "Resolving …" instead of "… paused", more accurately reflecting that the operation is actively being handled by the agent.
- The conversation timeline is now always shown by default — no setting required. Timeline navigation and bookmarks are available whenever there is enough conversation history.
- The deep link URL for the Inbox view has changed from ghapp://inbox to ghapp://mywork.

Fixed
- Collapsing a session in the sidebar now correctly hides all of its descendants, even when they belong to different repository groups.
- Fixed a soft-lock during onboarding where the "Sign in to GitHub" button never appeared for users with the system Reduce Motion accessibility setting enabled, or when the headline text was empty.
- Fixed blank terminal tab and scripts not executing when running commands on Windows with Command Prompt (cmd.exe) as the default shell.
- Fixed the Plan pill in the composer being taller and misaligned compared to other pills.
- Unlimited plans no longer show incorrect exhausted-quota indicators, and session AI-credit spend is now shown consistently in the usage gauge and workspace info popover.
