consistent.
Also add commit selection state to the history view so the active commit
is highlighted and brought into view when chosen from either the palette
or the history panel.
Keep branch metadata attached to each parent lane so the history graph
can render consistent colors and markers after merges and branch
transitions. Also soften the styling for behind-path segments to better
match the updated dot coloring.

- Implements structured display for branch name and location
- Improves distinction between local and remote delete contexts
- Updates backdrop filter CSS properties for better compatibility
Introduces a persistent, styled error toast notification system for displaying critical application errors.

- Add complete styling for commit amend toggle states
This change introduces new Tauri commands to amend the last commit with
an optional message, fetch the last commit message, and undo the most
recent commit safely. The UI now offers an amend toggle and an undo
button only when the last commit hasn’t been pushed upstream, reducing
the risk of rewriting shared history.
- Add amend/undo/last-message git commands in Rust
- Wire new operations into the Svelte commit panel UI
- Add styling and state handling for amend mode

creating, deleting, and pushing tags. It also adds cherry-pick
commands with proper in-progress detection and conflict handling, and
prevents other operations while a cherry-pick is active.
- Add GitTag model, tag listing, and tag CRUD/push commands
- Implement cherry-pick start/continue/abort with status tracking
- Update UI to display tags and gate actions during cherry-pick
Hover behavior for graph branch highlights was adjusted to limit the
opacity/transform changes to the gutter hover state. This prevents the
highlight from triggering when hovering over the graph rows, reducing
unintended visual effects.

with positioning constrained to the history panel. The menu supports
keyboard dismissal via Escape and closes on outside clicks to keep the
interaction predictable.
- Replace per-commit action buttons with an ellipsis menu
- Add context menu state and panel-relative positioning logic
- Style the new history context menu and menu button
This introduces a new Tauri command to clone a remote repository into a
validated destination folder, then return the full repository bundle for
immediate rendering. The Svelte app gains a clone dialog and a new action
in repository management, wiring the cloned bundle into existing refresh
helpers. Dialog backdrops were also adjusted to rely on explicit close
controls.
- Add clone_repository command and core cloning logic in Rust
- Create CloneRepositoryDialog and integrate it into App.svelte
- Improve clone-related styling and tighten dialog backdrop behavior

payload. The UI now blocks committing during an active rebase and
shows a dedicated rebase notice with continue/abort actions.
- Add tauri commands for rebase operations and status detection
- Update frontend to render rebase state and controls
- Adjust conflict/resolution messaging and related UI styling
This change introduces Git stash support end-to-end, including a new
