+### Changed
+
+- Activating LFS or adding a tracking pattern now ensures that a root
+  `.gitattributes` file is not hidden by Git ignore rules. When necessary,
+  Gitty adds the scoped `!/.gitattributes` exception to `.gitignore`.
+- The standard Tauri development launcher now removes an injected non-routing
+  `127.0.0.1:9` proxy and blocking SSH placeholder from the debug child
+  process, while preserving real user and company proxy settings.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Root `.gitattributes` LFS patterns remain visible while the file is
+  untracked or ignored, instead of disappearing from the LFS dialog.
+- Git LFS pushes rejected with HTTP 413 are retried once with a command-scoped
+  HTTP/1.1 override, which works around Azure DevOps' large HTTP/2 upload
+  behavior without changing repository or global Git settings.
+- LFS and other generic push failures no longer trigger the unrelated
+  Pull/Push retry flow intended only for non-fast-forward rejections.
