- Fixed post-rebase project-tree compile break on macOS by restoring refresh-generation state wiring and compatible node construction.
- Fixed toolbar/theme consistency regressions that reintroduced pink-accent styling in iOS settings paths.

## [v0.4.25] - 2026-02-18

### Added
- Added completion/signpost instrumentation (`os_signpost`) for inline completion, syntax highlighting, and file save paths to support performance profiling.

### Improved
- Improved inline code completion responsiveness with trigger-aware scheduling, adaptive debounce, and short-lived context caching.
- Improved editor rendering performance with coalesced highlight refreshes and reduced heavy-feature work on very large documents.

### Fixed
- Fixed redundant save writes by skipping unchanged file content saves via content fingerprinting.
- Fixed macOS syntax-highlighting churn during typing by limiting many highlight passes to local edited regions when safe.

## [v0.4.24] - 2026-02-18

### Added
- Added Lua as a selectable editor language with filename/extension detection and syntax highlighting token support.

### Improved
- Improved iOS settings readability by increasing section contrast so grouped settings remain distinct from the background.
- Improved iOS top toolbar action order by placing Open File first for faster access.

### Fixed

## [v0.4.23] - 2026-02-16

### Added
- Added optional support-purchase content to Welcome Tour page 2, including live StoreKit price and direct purchase action.

### Improved
- Improved welcome-tour flow by moving Toolbar Map to the final page and updating toolbar shortcut hints for iPad hardware keyboards.

### Fixed
- Fixed Settings support UI to remove restore-purchase actions where restore flow is not supported in current settings workflow.
- Fixed Refresh Price behavior to re-evaluate StoreKit availability before refreshing product metadata.
- Fixed font chooser instability by removing the macOS `NSFontPanel` bridge path and using the in-settings font list selector flow.

## [v0.4.22] - 2026-02-16

### Added
- Added shared syntax-regex compilation cache to reuse `NSRegularExpression` instances across highlight passes on macOS and iOS.

### Improved
- Improved large-document editor responsiveness by avoiding full syntax-regex reprocessing on caret-only moves and updating only transient line/bracket/scope decorations.
- Improved iOS line-number gutter performance by caching line-count driven rendering and avoiding full gutter text rebuilds when the line count is unchanged.

### Fixed
- Fixed macOS line-number ruler hot-path overhead by replacing per-draw line-number scans with cached UTF-16 line-start indexing and O(log n) lookup.

## [v0.4.21] - 2026-02-16

### Added
- Added curated popular editor themes: Dracula, One Dark Pro, Nord, Tokyo Night, and Gruvbox.

### Improved
- Improved macOS self-hosted updater flow to download and verify releases in-app, then stage installation for background apply on app close/restart.
- Improved updater platform/channel safety by enforcing install actions only for direct-distribution macOS builds (never iOS/App Store).

### Fixed
- Fixed Main Thread Checker violations in `EditorTextView` by ensuring `NSTextView.string` and `selectedRange` snapshot reads occur on the main thread.
- Fixed Neon Glow theme token mapping to match intended palette readability (dark gray comments, exact `#003EFF` string blue).

## [v0.4.20] - 2026-02-16

### Added
- Added iOS editor paste fallback handling that forces safe plain-text insertion when rich pasteboard content is unavailable or unreliable.

### Improved
- Improved syntax token readability across themes with appearance-aware color tuning (darker vibrant tokens in Light mode, brighter tokens in Dark mode), with extra tuning for Neon Glow.

### Fixed
- Fixed iOS paste reliability regressions in the editor input view.
- Fixed line-number gutter/text overlap on large files by making gutter width dynamic based on visible digit count on both iOS and macOS.

## [v0.4.19] - 2026-02-16

### Added
- Added adaptive theme background normalization so selected themes follow appearance mode (light in Light mode, dark in Dark/System-dark mode) without changing theme identity.

### Improved
- Improved cross-platform editor readability by enforcing mode-aware base/background contrast for all built-in themes, including Neon Glow.

### Fixed
- Fixed macOS line-number ruler behavior where line numbers could disappear near end-of-document when scrolling to the bottom.
- Fixed iOS line-number gutter sync at bottom scroll positions by clamping gutter content offset to valid bounds.

## [v0.4.18] - 2026-02-15

### Added
- Added iOS/macOS regression coverage in the editor refresh path so syntax highlighting remains stable across toolbar/menu and focus transitions.

### Improved
- Improved editor rendering consistency by preventing view-update color assignments from overriding attributed syntax token colors.

### Fixed
- Fixed iOS issue where opening the toolbar `...` menu could temporarily drop syntax highlighting.
- Fixed macOS issue where moving focus away from the editor/window could temporarily drop syntax highlighting.

## [v0.4.17] - 2026-02-15

### Added
- Added translucency-toggle highlight refresh wiring so editor recoloring is explicitly re-triggered when window translucency changes.

### Improved
- Improved syntax-highlighting stability during appearance/translucency transitions by forcing an immediate refresh instead of waiting for unrelated edits.

### Fixed
- Fixed a macOS editor bug where toggling translucent window mode could temporarily hide syntax highlighting until another action (for example changing font size) forced a rehighlight.

## [v0.4.16] - 2026-02-14

### Added
- Added a release-doc synchronization gate to `release_all.sh` via `prepare_release_docs.py --check` so releases fail fast when docs are stale.
- Added a delegate-based updater download service that reports live progress into the update dialog.

### Improved
- Improved updater install flow to stay user-driven/manual after verification, with Finder handoff instead of in-place app replacement.
- Improved editor appearance switching so base text colors are enforced immediately on light/dark mode changes across macOS and iOS.

### Fixed
- Fixed light-mode editor base text color to consistently use dark text across themes.
- Fixed dark-mode editor base text color to consistently use light text across themes.
- Fixed updater dialog post-download actions to show manual install choices (`Show in Finder`/`View Releases`) with accurate progress and phase updates.

## [v0.4.15] - 2026-02-14

### Fixed
- Fixed the editor `Highlight Current Line` behavior on macOS so previous line background highlights are cleared and only the active line remains highlighted.

## [v0.4.14] - 2026-02-14

### Added
- Added centralized theme canonicalization with an explicit `Custom` option in settings so legacy/case-variant values resolve consistently across launches.
- Added a fallback GitHub Releases URL path in the updater dialog so `View Releases` always opens, even when no latest-release payload is cached.
- Added keychain-state restore/cleanup steps to notarized release workflows (and workflow templates) to prevent user keychain list/default/login mutations after signing jobs.

### Improved
- Improved macOS translucent-window rendering by enforcing unified toolbar style and full-size content behavior when translucency is enabled.
- Improved cross-platform theme application so iOS/macOS editor text + syntax colors respect the selected settings theme in both translucent and non-translucent modes.
- Improved iOS settings/action tint parity to use blue accent coloring consistent with macOS.

### Fixed
- Fixed updater release-source validation regression that could block manual update checks in local/Xcode runs.
- Fixed toolbar/titlebar visual mismatch where toolbar areas rendered too opaque/white when translucency was enabled.
- Fixed settings theme-selection drift by normalizing persisted theme values and applying canonical names on read/write.

## [v0.4.13] - 2026-02-14

### Added
- Added `scripts/run_selfhosted_notarized_release.sh` helper to trigger/watch the self-hosted notarized release workflow and verify uploaded assets.

### Improved
- Hardened updater repository-source validation to accept both `github.com/{owner}/{repo}` and GitHub REST API paths (`api.github.com/repos/{owner}/{repo}`).
- Improved updater behavior in local Xcode/DerivedData runs by disabling automatic install/relaunch in development runtime.

### Fixed
- Fixed update dialog failures caused by over-strict GitHub release-source path validation.
- Fixed startup reliability by removing eager Keychain token reads/migration on launch paths and treating missing-keychain datastore statuses as non-fatal token-missing cases.
- Fixed local debug key handling by using `UserDefaults` fallback in `DEBUG` builds to avoid blocking `SecItemCopyMatching` behavior during local runs.

## [v0.4.12] - 2026-02-14

### Added
- `scripts/release_all.sh` now accepts `notarized` as a positional alias, so `scripts/release_all.sh v0.4.12 notarized` works directly.

### Improved
- Hosted notarized release workflow now enforces Xcode 17+ to preserve the Tahoe light/dark `AppIcon.icon` pipeline.
- Release asset verification now runs in strict iconstack mode to ensure published assets contain `AppIcon.iconstack`.

### Fixed
- Removed Xcode 16 fallback icon-copy path that could produce Sequoia/non-light-dark icon payloads in release assets.

## [v0.4.11] - 2026-02-13

### Added
- ExpressionEngine language support in the editor language set.
- Plain text drag-and-drop support so dropped string content opens correctly in the editor.

### Improved
- Release/docs metadata with TestFlight beta link surfaced in project documentation and download guidance.
- Release pipeline compatibility for hosted environments with Xcode 16 fallback handling.

### Fixed
- Notarized release publishing now hard-fails when icon payload validation fails, preventing bad assets from being published.
- macOS Settings sizing now enforces a taller default window to avoid clipped controls.

## [v0.4.10] - 2026-02-13

### Added
- Release gate in `scripts/release_all.sh` now waits for a successful `Pre-release CI` run on the pushed commit before triggering notarization.

### Improved
- Hosted notarized workflow now allows an explicit Xcode 16+ fallback path when Xcode 17 is unavailable on GitHub-hosted runners.
- Settings window responsiveness on macOS by deferring/caching editor font list loading.

### Fixed
- Reduced settings-open latency by removing forced full-window redraw calls during appearance application.

## [v0.4.9] - 2026-02-13

### Added
- Pre-release CI workflow on `main`/PR with critical runtime checks, docs validation, and icon payload verification.
- Release dry-run workflow and local `scripts/release_dry_run.sh` command for pre-tag validation.
- Release runtime policy test suite (`ReleaseRuntimePolicyTests`) covering settings-tab routing, theme mapping, find-next cursor behavior, and subscription button state logic.

### Improved
- Unified release automation in `scripts/release_all.sh` to run preflight checks before tagging and to verify uploaded release assets after notarized publish.
- README changelog summary automation now keeps release summaries version-sorted and limited to the latest three entries.
- Notarized workflows now include compatibility fallbacks so older tags without `scripts/ci/*` can still be rebuilt and published.

### Fixed
- Fixed macOS toolbar Settings (gear) button path to open the Settings scene reliably via SwiftUI `openSettings`.
- Hardened release workflows with post-publish verification and rollback behavior (delete bad asset and mark release draft on verification failure).

## [v0.4.8] - 2026-02-12

### Added
- Extended release automation coverage for the next tag cycle, including synchronized README/changelog/welcome-tour release content updates.

### Improved
- macOS settings parity with iOS by wiring the `Open in Tabs` preference into live window tabbing behavior.
- Welcome Tour release highlights are now aligned with distribution content for current App Store/TestFlight-facing builds.

### Fixed
- Release workflow environment compatibility by removing hard `rg` dependency from docs validation steps.
- Release pipeline guard failures caused by placeholder release notes (`TODO`) in the tag section.

## [v0.4.7] - 2026-02-12

### Added
- Indentation-based scope detection fallback for Python/YAML to render scoped-region and guide markers when bracket-only matching is not sufficient.
- Release workflow compatibility fallback for doc validation (`grep`-based checks), so release jobs no longer depend on `rg` being preinstalled on runners.

### Improved
- Scope/bracket highlighting stability by dropping stale asynchronous highlight passes and applying only the latest generation.
- Visibility of matched bracket tokens and scope guide markers for easier detection on iOS and macOS.

### Fixed
- Settings window opening/persistence path now uses the native Settings scene behavior, avoiding custom frame persistence conflicts.
- iOS appearance override handling for light/dark/system now applies consistently across app windows/scenes.

## [v0.4.6] - 2026-02-12

### Added
- Self-hosted notarized release workflow for macOS (`release-notarized-selfhosted.yml`) targeting macOS runners with Xcode 17+.
- Automated icon payload preflight in notarized release pipelines to block publishing assets with missing AppIcon renditions.
- Release automation wiring so `scripts/release_all.sh --notarized` triggers the self-hosted notarized workflow.

### Improved
- Release tooling robustness in `release_all.sh` / `release_prep.sh` for optional arguments and end-to-end docs flow.
- Welcome Tour release page automation now derives the first card from the selected changelog section during release prep.
- Notarized workflow now validates toolchain requirements for icon-composer-based app icon assets.

### Fixed
- Support purchase testing bypass is now hidden in distributed release builds (kept only for debug/simulator testing paths).
- Replaced deprecated receipt URL usage in support purchase gating with StoreKit transaction environment checks.
- Restored release icon source mapping to `AppIcon.icon` (dark/light icon pipeline) instead of using the fallback iOS icon set in release builds.

## [v0.4.5] - 2026-02-11

### Added
- Optional support purchase flow (StoreKit 2) with a dedicated Settings -> Support tab.
- Local StoreKit testing file (`SupportOptional.storekit`) and App Store review notes (`docs/AppStoreReviewNotes.md`).
- New cross-platform theme settings panel and iOS app icon asset catalog set.

### Improved
- Settings architecture cleanup: editor options consolidated into Settings dialog/sheet and aligned with toolbar actions.
- Language detection and syntax highlighting stability for newly opened tabs and ongoing edits.
- Sequoia/Tahoe compatibility guards and cross-platform settings presentation behavior.
- Consolidated macOS app icon source to a single `Resources/AppIcon.icon` catalog (removed duplicate `Assets.xcassets/AppIcon.icon`).

### Fixed
- iOS build break caused by missing settings sheet state binding in `ContentView`.
- Find panel behavior (`Cmd+F`, initial focus, Enter-to-find-next) and highlight-current-line setting application.
- Line number ruler rendering overlap/flicker issues from previous fragment enumeration logic.
- Editor text sanitization paths around paste/tab/open flows to reduce injected visible whitespace glyph artifacts.
- Prevented reintroduced whitespace/control glyph artifacts (`U+2581`, `U+2400`–`U+243F`) during typing/paste by hardening sanitizer checks in editor update paths.
- macOS line-number gutter redraw/background mismatch so the ruler keeps the same window/editor tone without white striping.
