 ## [vx.y.z] — __DATE__
 
+## [v0.7.1] — 2026-10-13
+
+### Fixed
+- Windowed commands with an unlaunchable terminal report on the status line (naming the binary and the `+` config key) instead of failing silently; the terminal is exec'd directly so the OS reports a missing binary
+- `=cmd` output keeps split multibyte characters intact — pipe chunks are byte slices, so a UTF-8 character could arrive in two halves; the streaming loop now buffers trailing high bytes until the character completes (genuinely broken bytes still fall back to replacement), and every emitted span is valid UTF-8
+- Pipe results stay on the status line — the bottom line now shows whatever the last action left until the next keypress restores the bar, so the first line of `|` output remains visible instead of being repainted over immediately
+
+## [v0.7.0] — 2026-10-12
+
+### Changed
+- Requires typr `~> 1.9` — the `!narrow` binding calls `Browser#narrow`, which does not exist in 1.8.x
+- Dropped the two `Typr.flush_overtype` calls (custom view rebuild, command spawn) — typr's overtype guard now lives entirely behind `Grid#pick` selections, so there is nothing for filecon to arm or flush; keys typed during slow rebuilds count as intentional input at the next read
+- `|` commands keep running after filecon exits: pipe writers spawn in their own process group (immune to the exit-time hangup) and the pipe is handed to a detached null-drainer, so writers never hit a closed pipe either
+- Windowed (`+`) commands send the emulator's stderr to /dev/null, so terminal chatter (kitty parse errors, keyboard-protocol notices) no longer prints over the view; the inner command keeps its own terminal for its own errors
+
 ## [v0.6.0] — 2026-10-11
 
 ### Changed
+- Bottom-bar live narrowing is labeled `[/]:narrow` and wired to `!narrow` (was `[/]:search` / `!search`), matching what it does; `search` now means only find-in-text
 - Help panels use round borders joined by T-pieces at the seam
 - All shell strings run under `bash -c` (never `sh`) through one `shell` helper; aliases and rc files do not resolve anywhere. Startup aborts cleanly without bash
 - Help headers render from the configured `header:` color and command names blue from inline palette codes, which survive rebuilds and resizes under paint-once text

 Filecon is designed to be **intuitive**, **complete**, **powerful**, and **fast**. The whole interface is built around that principle:
 
 - **Hint navigation** — every visible row carries a number hint (1–9, 0); pressing it acts on that row immediately, no cursor movement needed.
-- **Live search in popups** — popups open in `/` search mode; type to distill the list, then pick one of the few remaining results with a number. return key selects the first. auto selection of a single filter result.

 - **Frequency-ordered history** — directory and command history are ranked by use count, so the most likely choice is always near the top.
 
 Filecon runs on Typr, whose self-contained terminal layer ships its own precompiled terminfo key table and MIME-type database in the gem — no ncurses or external tooling required — so Filecon works on any raw, ANSI-capable terminal (including Termux).

 - **Command execution modes** — commands run in one of four ways, chosen by prefix: `|` status line, `=` text viewer, `+` new terminal window, `!` Ruby eval; per-MIME-type command sets with `%name`, `%dir`, `%file`, `%cmd`, `%str` substitution
