This release improves search and makes browsing real repositories and large diffs more practical.

Highlights

• Search results show match counts and concise matching-line previews.
• Navigate between matches within a file, with matching lines highlighted.
• Search directives are case-insensitive; use grep: or content: for code contents and ext: to filter by extension.
• Compare view adds file navigation, filtering, expand/collapse controls, and per-file change counts.
• Commit lists show files changed, additions, and deletions.
• Fixes search/preview races and improves Unicode-safe highlighting.
