1.0.9

Added

• Highlight the comment whose quoted text holds the editor cursor in Comment Details and scroll the panel to it, choosing the innermost comment when quotes overlap.

1.0.8

Added

• Start a review thread from the agent tool with create, quoting a line (--line 12), a line range (--line 12-14), or an exact text read from a file, so an agent can leave its review as comments instead of editing the document.
• Create several threads in one run from a JSON batch file; every request is checked before anything is written, and one failing request creates no thread at all.
• Store threads the tool creates in the document's existing bundle, exactly where the editors would put them, instead of starting a new file per thread.
• Refuse a quote whose surrounding text cannot tell it apart from an identical passage, so a later edit above it cannot move the thread to the wrong place.

1.0.7

Fixed

• Keep agent replies in the selected project by requiring its root, and refuse replies when the review thread is closed or its quoted text is ambiguous, detached, or missing.
• Read agent reply and re-anchor text from UTF-8 files or standard input, so shell syntax in review text is stored literally instead of being expanded.

1.0.6

Fixed

• Comment on a document that is open outside every workspace folder. Comments are stored in the
  nearest project above the file — a directory holding .comments or .git, including a
  git worktree — instead of the command reporting that the file is not in a workspace.
• Show Add Comment on Selection in the Markdown preview's right-click menu when the preview
  replaces the editor tab. Previously only the side-by-side preview offered the menu.
• Write a comment in the sidebar while the Markdown preview holds focus. The sidebar no longer
  requires an active text editor; it falls back to a visible editor, then to your last selection
  in that document.

Changed

• Add Comment on Selection now pins the preview selection to the sidebar and puts the cursor
  in its composer, so the comment is written in the sidebar instead of a single-line input box.
  The pinned text stays visible above the composer and can be cleared.
• The sidebar composer is disabled, with an explanation of how to select text, while nothing is
  selected. It no longer accepts a comment only to reject it on submit.
• Comments Explorer also lists projects found outside the workspace, and their stores are watched
  for changes, so comments written in Obsidian appear without a manual refresh.

Verification

• Typecheck and 105 tests passed.
• Extension packaged as sideband-comments-vscode-1.0.6.vsix with the preview script included.

1.0.5

Added

• Add comments directly from selected text in the VS Code Markdown preview.
• Keep a document’s comment history together when files or folders are renamed in VS Code or Obsidian.
• Provide a command to consolidate existing per-thread JSONL files into document-based history files.

Changed

• New comments are stored by logical document in .comments/documents/<document-id>.jsonl.
• Existing .comments/threads/*.jsonl files remain readable and can be consolidated without losing comment events.

1.0.4

Fixed

• Preserve sidebar scroll position when comments require a refresh.
• Avoid unnecessary sidebar rebuilds when reopening the note already shown.
• Preserve draft replies and open edit forms during unchanged refreshes.

Verification

• Typecheck and 65 tests passed.
• Obsidian API compatibility lint passed.
• Release package verified with main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css.

1.0.3

Fixed

• Resolve Obsidian API compatibility validation for sidebar reveal behavior.
• Reveal the sidebar only on Obsidian 1.7.2 or later while retaining support for Obsidian 1.6.0+.
• Use long-supported vault file resolution APIs with file type verification.

Verification

• Official no-unsupported-api lint passed.
• Typecheck and 60 tests passed.
• Release package verified with main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css.

1.0.2

Fixed

• Improve compatibility with Obsidian document navigation APIs.
• Require Obsidian 1.6.0 or later.

Verification

• Typecheck, test suite, and release packaging passed.

1.0.1

Fixed

• Preserve the Comments sidebar location when the plugin reloads.
• Use a neutral default author name when no author name is configured.
• Improve compatibility with current plugin review and distribution requirements.

Distribution

• Release assets include build provenance attestations.
