BetterPullReview v0.2.1

BetterPullReview 0.2.1

Private macOS-only prerelease following 0.2.0, with universal packages for
Apple Silicon and Intel. Windows fixes move to the 0.2.2 follow-up; Windows
and Ubuntu 26.04 packages are not part of 0.2.1. Full agent and local automation
capabilities are retained.

Changes

• Review drafts no longer consume persistent blank records merely by selecting
  lines. Authored drafts remain recoverable across head changes and restarts;
  draft creation and sharing between windows retain the correct identity.
• Opening a file in Review marks it Seen for the displayed epoch. Accept is
  available with one click and Command+Shift+A.
• File navigation can leave an unavailable file, and change navigation follows
  the clicked source position. Resizing the diff divider keeps text vertically
  stable, including at fractional display scales.
• Center ribbon width is configurable from 16 to 256 logical pixels, with a
  28-pixel default, half the previous width.
• Appearance section banners use subdued theme surfaces, and open Settings
  windows follow theme changes.
• Home keeps row facts aligned when Cancel appears and prevents adding a
  GitHub CLI account while its remembered connection is loading.
• Files and Search tabs follow the Comments and Notes styling. Search side
  markers align at the left, navigation labels sit closer to their controls,
  unread-comment badges describe the current file, and the redundant visible
  Command+J button is removed while Threads and the shortcut remain available.

Verification and distribution

The combined implementation passed ten focused integration checks before this
version bump. Subsequent macOS gate repairs passed twenty focused courses and
three unchanged submission controls. The complete normal macOS gate must still
pass on the exact final release source before distribution packaging. Final test
results, configured skips, artifact digests and trust observations are recorded
separately; focused checks do not establish full native qualification, and these
notes do not claim packages have already been produced or published.

macOS targets macOS 13 or newer on Apple Silicon and Intel and requires Developer
ID signing, notarization, stapling and Gatekeeper assessment. The remaining
Windows repairs and native acceptance continue toward 0.2.2. Ubuntu availability
is deferred to a later release decision. Neither platform is promised as an
additional 0.2.1 upload or from the macOS release commit.

The macOS release supplies its exact-version corresponding-source ZIP, SPDX
inventory and checksums alongside its binaries. The source asset is
Source-BetterPullReview-0.2.1-macos-universal-corresponding-source.zip.
Source access at no extra charge and immutable retention remain ongoing
distribution obligations, including corporate/offline redistribution. Exact
licensing and practical build/relink obligations remain; historical artifact
dispositions do not qualify changed release bytes.

Known limitations

This prerelease does not complete RFC-BPR-0038 qualification. Native clean-account
vault, Intel/platform, crash privacy and vulnerability qualification gaps remain
open. Qt 6.11.2 findings still require exact-version applicability dispositions;
signing and notarization do not resolve them. WSL2 production does not establish
clean Ubuntu desktop or Secret Service qualification. Profile purge excludes
shared updater and registry state and is not uninstall.

After restarting and reconnecting through GitHub CLI, an older tour draft may
not appear in the restored window; previously saved tour publication still
resumes. The original reported review-publication failure was not captured, so
its exact trigger remains unconfirmed despite the draft-lifecycle fixes.

The release remains private and is marked as a GitHub prerelease, preserving
the current stable Latest release.
