 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.4.8] — 2026-06-02
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Discovery scan failures now render short, user-facing footer status instead of raw Effect diagnostics.
+- Partial discovery warnings now show a compact footer trigger that opens root-relative skipped-directory details.
+- Sidebar empty states now distinguish empty roots from zero-match filters with specific copy.
+- Pane frames stay neutral while selected sidebar rows remain highlighted even when the sidebar is inactive.
+
+### Docs
+
+- Corrected usage docs and `--help` text: directory browsing is controlled by `--root` / `defaultRoot`; the positional path now seeds the initial browser filter query.
+- Refreshed unified-browser docs, roadmap state, and demo tapes after the single Browser model landed.
+- Added ADR 0001 documenting the decision to keep the current `marked`-based browser preview instead of adopting Streamdown for now.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Removed the separate file-target launch path: non-serve launches always open the browser over the discovery root, with any positional path applied as the initial sidebar filter.
+
+### Tests
+
+- Added reusable status popover coverage for parent-owned panels, long-line wrapping, and small-viewport clipping.

 - **`--tone dark|light`** flag to select the variant of a theme. Defaults to `dark`. Not all themes have a well-tuned light variant; quality is best-effort for those.
 - **JSON theme format**: each theme is a `{defs, theme: {dark, light}}` file validated against `schema/openmdr-theme.schema.json`. The format mirrors opencode's TUI theme shape; `defs` supports variable substitution.
 - **`dev/build-themes.ts`**: fetches themes from the opencode GitHub API, strips diff tokens, resolves variables, and regenerates `src/theme/loader.ts`. Supports `GITHUB_TOKEN` and `--dry-run`. Not shipped in the npm package.

 ## Usage
 
 ```
-house [options] <path>
+house [query] [options]
 ```
 
-`<path>` can be a directory (walks for `.md`, `.markdown`, and `.mdx` files) or a single markdown file. Defaults to the current directory if omitted.
+By default, `house` opens the browser over the configured discovery root: the current directory, or the git root when `defaultRoot = "git"` is configured. Use `--root <dir>` to browse a specific directory.
+
+`[query]` seeds the initial sidebar filter query. It can be a filename, a relative path, or any path fragment you want to match. It does **not** set the discovery root; use `--root <dir>` for that.
+
+Examples:
+
+```bash
+house                  # browse the configured discovery root
+house README.md        # browse with README.md preloaded as the sidebar filter
+house --root docs      # browse docs/ as the discovery root
+house --serve README.md
+```

 `show` is a list of normally-skipped categories to opt into. Known categories: `hidden` (dot-prefixed entries), `gitignored` (entries matched by a `.gitignore`). Default is the empty list. Hard skips (`node_modules`, `.git`, `.venv`) always apply.

 `HOUSE_SHOW` takes a comma-separated list (`HOUSE_SHOW=hidden,gitignored`). For `show` specifically, each source completely replaces the next — categories don't merge across layers.
