Update version to 2026.8.7

style(theme): add dialog & panel CSS vars and refactor status panel styles
Add CSS custom properties for dialog backdrop, shadows, and panel highlights to centralize visual theming. Refactor the status panel overlay to consume these tokens and use color-mix instead of hardcoded rgba values. This improves visual consistency and lets overlays adapt cleanly to appearance changes and theme variants. - Centralize dialog and panel visuals with new CSS variables - Replace fixed rgba values with tokenized colors and color-mix - Move borders, shadows, and gradients to use the new theme tokens

 The project uses calendar-style versions in the form `YYYY.M.PATCH`.

+## [2026.8.6] - 2026-08-18
+
+### 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.
+
+## [2026.8.5] - 2026-08-17
+
+### Added
+
+- Integrated Git LFS management now detects the available extension and the
+  repository setup, shows tracked patterns and checkout objects, and provides
+  actions for local activation, tracking and untracking patterns, downloading
+  objects, and pruning the local cache. Desktop installers bundle Git LFS,
+  while Arch packages declare it as a dependency.
+- The Changes panel now offers a List/Tree switch. Tree view groups staged and
+  unstaged files into independently collapsible folders while retaining all
+  existing file actions.
+- Files and folders in the Changes panel now have context-menu actions for
+  staging or unstaging their scope and for creating a stash containing only
+  the selected file or folder. New and untracked items can also be added to
+  the repository `.gitignore` from Changes or the File Explorer as an exact
+  file, a complete folder, or an extension-wide pattern. Folder rules are only
+  offered for folder selections. Tracked files and folders can be removed from
+  the Git index without deleting their working-tree contents.
+- Gitty can open a repository directly at startup through the `--repo PATH` or
+  `--repo=PATH` command-line argument.
+- The executable can clone and immediately open a repository with
+  `clone REMOTE TARGET`, `--clone REMOTE TARGET`, or `--clone=REMOTE TARGET`.
+  Relative targets use the caller's working directory, and requests are also
+  forwarded to an already-running Gitty instance.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Successful clones and pulls now detect repositories that use LFS and
+  download the required LFS objects automatically with the same remote and
+  credentials. Fresh clones also activate LFS locally before they are opened.
+- Unstaged and staged changes use an equal-width side-by-side layout with
+  independent scrolling, directional stage/unstage actions, and a responsive
+  vertical fallback. The List/Tree switch is centered above both areas.
+- File and folder context menus now separate the selected name from its parent
+  path, show the affected file count, and present stage, unstage, and stash
+  actions with clearer icons and descriptions.
+- Controls and surfaces use a more consistent square visual language while
+  circular status markers, avatars, and branch shapes remain recognizable.
+- The built-in German and English help now includes Git LFS setup, tracking,
+  troubleshooting, and everyday workflow guidance.

+## Command line
+
+Open an existing repository when Gitty starts:
+
+```text
+gitty.exe --repo "D:\Projects\ExistingRepo"
+```
+
+Clone a remote into an exact local target folder and open it immediately:
+
+```text
+gitty.exe --clone "https://example.com/team/project.git" "D:\Projects\Project"
+gitty clone "git@example.com:team/project.git" "D:\Projects\Project"
+```
+
+`--clone=<REMOTE>` is also accepted. Relative target paths are resolved from
+the current working directory. Clone and repository requests are forwarded to
+the running window when Gitty is already open.
+
+---
+
+## Development
+
+Start the complete desktop application in development mode with:
+
+```bash
+npm run tauri:dev
+```
+
+The development launcher preserves normal proxy settings. If a sandboxed
+development terminal injects the non-routing `127.0.0.1:9` proxy or its
+blocking SSH placeholder, those values are removed only for the Tauri child
+process so Git remotes and Git LFS remain testable in the debug application.
+
+---
+
+## Git LFS
+
+Gitty bundles the `git-lfs` executable in its desktop installers and checks it
+at runtime before offering LFS actions. Arch packages also declare `git-lfs` as
+a dependency so Git hooks and command-line workflows outside Gitty use the same
+extension. The repository toolbar exposes LFS setup, tracked patterns, object
+downloads, and safe cache pruning. After every successful clone or pull, Gitty
+detects LFS usage and automatically downloads the required LFS objects with the
+same remote and credentials, so no second pull is needed. Fresh clones also get
+repository-local LFS filters and the pre-push hook before they are opened.
+
+---
+
 ## SigNoz telemetry

 After the user opts in, Gitty sends privacy-filtered product events and technical errors as OTLP/HTTP JSON logs. Every Git/Tauri command is also captured as a trace span with its command name, duration and success state, but without command arguments or results. CPU utilization and resident memory usage of the Gitty process are sampled every 30 seconds and exported as OpenTelemetry gauges. The default endpoints are `https://telemetry.cbsk-tech.de/v1/logs`, `https://telemetry.cbsk-tech.de/v1/traces`, and `https://telemetry.cbsk-tech.de/v1/metrics`.

Christoph	4533f8aa38	style(theme): add dialog & panel CSS vars and refactor status panel styles publish / Build and publish Ubuntu AppImage (release) Successful in 19m39s Details publish / Build and publish Windows installer (release) Successful in 22m14s Details publish / Build and publish AUR packages (release) Successful in 48m41s Details Add CSS custom properties for dialog backdrop, shadows, and panel highlights to centralize visual theming. Refactor the status panel overlay to consume these tokens and use color-mix instead of hardcoded rgba values. This improves visual consistency and lets overlays adapt cleanly to appearance changes and theme variants. - Centralize dialog and panel visuals with new CSS variables - Replace fixed rgba values with tokenized colors and color-mix - Move borders, shadows, and gradients to use the new theme tokens	2026-08-23 23:38:42 +02:00

Christoph	79f4ec21e4	feat(history): make branch filter groups collapsible Add collapsible local and remote branch groups to the branch visibility dialog, including toggle buttons and selection counts. Introduce comprehensive dialog styling and responsive rules to match the app UI. Opening the dialog now defaults to local open and remote closed for faster access. - Add CSS for branch-filter dialog layout, theming, and responsiveness - Implement group toggles with chevrons and visible selected counts - Default to local group open and remote group closed on dialog open	2026-08-23 23:20:13 +02:00

Christoph	58027f5e22	feat(settings): add appearance and custom theme support Introduce an appearance preference with modern, classic, and custom modes and a persisted custom theme palette. Add helpers to load, persist, and apply appearance and custom colors, and wire them into the app settings lifecycle. Implement a comprehensive light theme and appearance presets using CSS variables so custom palettes are applied consistently across the UI, and include appearance in analytics when settings are saved. - Persist and apply appearance and custom color palette to :root - Add muted light theme plus classic/modern presets and custom mapping - Include appearance and customTheme in settings save and analytics payload	2026-08-23 23:14:07 +02:00
Christoph	3477070ec3	style(theme): refresh dark theme palette and control contrast Update the dark theme tokens and UI surfaces to improve legibility and clarify interactive boundaries across the app. Controls such as buttons, inputs, and focus outlines were standardized and simplified to reduce visual noise while preserving hierarchy. - Overhaul color tokens and surface backgrounds for consistent tones - Simplify primary button treatment and adjust focus/outline behavior - Add targeted dark-mode rules to separate chrome (tabs, toolbars)	2026-08-23 22:20:25 +02:00
