An agent-ready interaction and delivery release. AI tools can land the user on exact Git context without a vendor-specific bridge, search composes with the visible timeline scope, the tray panel can grow into a full inspection surface, and update behavior is explicit for every distribution channel. Added

• A read-only agent control surface. gitwinkctl capabilities --json, show commit, and show file-history let Codex, Claude Code, scripts, and other tools open the exact repository context a user should inspect. The protocol resolves revisions and subdirectory paths safely, reuses the running app, reports structured outcomes, and requires neither MCP nor a vendor-specific skill.
• English, Korean, and Japanese UI. System-language detection and an explicit live preference now cover the panel, diff, Settings, update flows, native tray menu, and errors. Unsupported system locales fall back to English without shipping separate language-pack installers.
• A resizable and maximizable panel. Drag any edge or corner, choose default or wide presets, or maximize for deep history reading. gitwink preserves a scale-independent normal size, restores it across displays, and follows the native maximize conventions of Windows and macOS.
• Search that composes with timeline filters. Commit search now remains inside the active repository, author, branch, and time scope. Every scope is visible and editable in search mode, all-history demand stays indexed and cancellable, and jumping to a result round-trips through view history without widening the query.
• Microsoft Store-native in-app updates. Store installs now ask the device's Store catalog—not GitHub—whether a certified package is actually available, show the same header/tray indicator as direct installs, and can download, install, report progress and restart without sending the user to the Store app. Silent delivery is used when Windows permits it; otherwise the native consent prompt is attached to the gitwink panel.
• Browser-free Store listing submissions. The release workflow validates and uploads the reviewed MSIX bundle and ordered locale screenshots through Microsoft's packaged-app API. Omitted locales and non-desktop listing assets remain untouched, draft ownership is checked before mutation, and failures retain a recoverable submission ID instead of depending on browser entry. Changed
• Update delivery is capability-driven. Store, Scoop, WinGet/direct and macOS distributions now share an explicit policy contract that separates update discovery from install ownership. Adding a channel no longer requires UI code to recognize provider names. GitHub releases remain drafts until CI proves that MSI, NSIS and both macOS architectures have valid signed routes.
• Repository path intake is explicit and resilient. The footer distinguishes native folder browsing from clipboard paste, supports Ctrl+V and Cmd+V from the panel, normalizes quoted file-manager paths, accepts repository subdirectories, and reports invalid or unavailable clipboard content without silently opening the wrong picker.
• Product documentation now reflects the shipping UI. The three README languages, Store screenshots, agent-control contract, update behavior, panel sizing, search scope, file history, and recoverable repository lifecycle now describe the same product surface. Fixed
• Manual update checks always finish visibly. Overlapping automatic and manual checks coalesce, Store results are cached within Microsoft's query window, and explicit checks now show checking, up-to-date or failure feedback even when the panel was hidden. Mandatory Store updates cannot be suppressed by stale skip or snooze preferences.
• Scoop update preferences remain configurable. Scoop owns installation, but users can still select automatic, manual or disabled GitHub checks instead of having the entire Updates section hidden.
• Native controls honor the active theme. Language and other native select menus no longer open as light surfaces with unreadable disabled entries while Windows is using dark mode.
• Summoning surfaces the panel over the active app. A tray click, global shortcut, second launch, or agent handoff now reasserts the intended native stacking state before focusing, so a previously pinned panel cannot remain hidden behind a browser or video window.
