      <div class="highlight">
        Account switching, auth reliability, and diagnostics privacy. You can now switch GitHub accounts without restarting, and the login flow handles wrong-account scenarios gracefully instead of hanging forever.
      </div>

      <h3>🔄 Account Switcher</h3>
      <ul>
        <li>New <strong>Switch Account</strong> option in the header — change GitHub accounts without restarting the server.</li>
        <li>Clears all cached tokens (GitHub, Copilot, disk) and starts a fresh device code flow immediately.</li>
      </ul>

      <h3>🔐 Auth Race Condition Fix</h3>
      <ul>
        <li>Fixed: signing in with a non-Copilot account then switching to the correct account left the UI stuck on "Waiting for authorization..." forever.</li>
        <li>Root cause: background poll thread and client poll raced to call <code>poll_device_code()</code>. Now uses a single-writer pattern — the bg thread is the sole caller, the client reads a shared result.</li>
        <li><code>NO_COPILOT_ACCESS</code> errors now surface in the UI with the username and links to <strong>Switch Account</strong> or <strong>Sign up for Copilot</strong>.</li>
        <li>Client-side poll now times out after 15 minutes (matching GitHub's device code expiry) instead of polling forever.</li>
        <li>Stale Copilot session cache is cleared when starting a new login flow.</li>
      </ul>

      <h3>🏷️ Version in Header</h3>
      <ul>
        <li>The brainstem version now displays in the chat UI header — no more guessing which version you're running.</li>
      </ul>

      <h3>🔒 Diagnostics Privacy</h3>
      <ul>
        <li>The <strong>Get Help</strong> report now scrubs <code>user_code</code>, <code>device_code</code>, and <code>session_id</code> from diagnostics before publishing to GitHub issues.</li>
      </ul>

      <h3>🔧 Other Fixes</h3>
      <ul>
        <li>Friendly error message when GitHub API quota is exceeded.</li>
        <li>Installer handles force-push divergence and kills existing server on port 7071 before starting.</li>
        <li>400 error fallback and <code>gh</code> CLI issue creation when API token lacks repo scope.</li>
        <li>Better error telemetry throughout the auth and diagnostics pipeline.</li>
      </ul>

      <div class="highlight">
        First versioned release. Focuses the brainstem on <strong>local-first, stateless agent execution</strong> and adds auto-upgrade support to the one-liner installers.
      </div>

      <h3>🎯 Local-Only Agents</h3>
      <ul>
        <li>Removed the remote agent system — no more hot-loading agents from GitHub repos at runtime.</li>
        <li>Only <code>*_agent.py</code> files directly in the <code>agents/</code> folder are discovered and loaded.</li>
        <li>Subdirectories like <code>agents/experimental/</code> are intentionally excluded from auto-discovery.</li>
        <li>Removed the <strong>⚡ Sources</strong> sidebar panel, all <code>/repos/*</code> API endpoints, and associated JS/CSS from the chat UI.</li>
      </ul>

      <h3>🔄 Stateless Agent Loading</h3>
      <ul>
        <li>Agents now load fresh on every request — no in-memory cache between calls.</li>
        <li>Removed <code>_agents_cache</code> and <code>reload_agents()</code> — the brainstem is fully stateless per invocation.</li>
        <li>Makes local development and debugging faster: edit an agent file, hit the endpoint, see the change immediately.</li>
      </ul>

      <h3>📦 Version Tracking &amp; Auto-Upgrade</h3>
      <ul>
        <li>Added <code>rapp_brainstem/VERSION</code> file as the single source of truth for the current version.</li>
        <li>New <code>GET /version</code> endpoint returns <code>{"version": "0.1.0"}</code>.</li>
        <li>Version now included in <code>GET /health</code> response and server startup banner.</li>
        <li>The <code>install.sh</code> and <code>install.ps1</code> one-liner scripts now compare the local <code>VERSION</code> against the remote one hosted on GitHub.</li>
        <li>If the local version matches the remote, the installer exits with <strong>"Already up to date"</strong> — no unnecessary re-cloning.</li>
        <li>If the remote version is newer, the installer proceeds with a full upgrade (git pull + pip install).</li>
      </ul>

      <h3>🔧 Other Improvements</h3>
      <ul>
        <li>Improved <code>/health</code> endpoint: returns <code>200</code> with <code>"status": "unauthenticated"</code> when the Copilot token is missing, instead of a 500 error. The chat UI shows the login overlay instead of failing silently.</li>
        <li>GitHub token refresh and caching improvements (from upstream).</li>
        <li>Copilot Studio converter agent moved to <code>agents/experimental/</code> (excluded from auto-discovery).</li>
      </ul>
