+## 0.1.0-alpha.45 (2026-10-08)
+
+**What breaks.**
+
+- A menu row whose accelerator would leave its label under 48 px — a
+  window narrower than the accelerator with its gaps — draws the
+  accelerator cut short with "…" and the label's first glyphs, where it
+  drew the whole accelerator past the panel's edge and no label (under
+  Fixed, RG154).
+- A `menu_panel` floating in the viewport whose caller declared its
+  ceiling as a size expression (`max_width(Bound::Calc(..))`, `"50%"`)
+  bounds its labels by that ceiling read against the window, where it
+  bounded them by the window alone (under Fixed, RG154). A panel
+  anchored elsewhere keeps the window as its labels' bound.
+- A menu bar the app leaves out of a frame while a submenu switch waits
+  its 0.3 s starts the wait again when the bar is back, where the switch
+  went through at once on the next build (under Fixed, RG154).
+- Windows and Plasma: a `Blur` or `Tinted` window on a desktop with no
+  wallpaper kui can read is `Opaque` from its first frame again, as it
+  was in alpha.43; alpha.44's `Tinted`-then-`Opaque` is GNOME's alone
+  now (under Fixed, RG154).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **The accelerator is bounded too** (backlog RG154, from the alpha.44
+  pre-tag pass). A row's label was what the panel's width bounded, and
+  its accelerator was drawn whole: in a window narrower than the
+  accelerator the label shrank to nothing and the accelerator ran past
+  the panel, which is what RG150 set out to stop. The label keeps a
+  floor of 48 px (`widgets::MENU_LABEL_MIN`) and the accelerator takes
+  what that leaves, ending in "…". And a ceiling declared as a size
+  expression on a panel floating in the viewport now caps the labels as
+  a px one does, read against the window; a panel anchored to a node
+  keeps the window's ceiling for its labels, since the room layout will
+  read the expression against is not placed when the rows are built.
+- **A menu bar the app stops drawing owes no frames** (backlog RG154).
+  A submenu switch waiting its 0.3 s was cleared by the next build of the
+  bar's menu; an app that stopped drawing the bar inside the wait (or
+  handed it to the platform) kept the switch, and the frames it owed,
+  for good. A frame that builds no menu on a surface drops the switch
+  waiting there.
+- **Windows and Plasma: no wallpaper, opaque from the first frame**
+  (backlog RG154). RG150 moved finding the wallpaper's path to the
+  loader's thread for GNOME's sake, where it is up to three `gsettings`
+  processes; on Windows it is one call and on Plasma one file read, so
+  the loop asks there and a window with none to draw never reads
+  `Tinted` first. GNOME keeps the thread. Windows run on screen;
+  Plasma compiled and read.
+
+**What you can delete.**
+
+- A shorter accelerator chosen for a menu that has to fit a narrow
+  window (RG154).
+- A frame an app requested itself after stopping its menu bar, to let
+  the core settle (RG154).
+
+### Native verification
+
+The by-hand round alpha.6 introduced (backlog R4), on 2026-10-08, over
+RG154 — what alpha.44's pre-tag pass left — with alpha.45's pre-tag pass
+over it on the Windows machine and under WSLg: the mechanical round on
+both, then a read-only review of the diff since alpha.44, each claim
+probed. It filed nothing; its one finding, a `Calc` ceiling read against
+the window for a panel anchored elsewhere, was corrected inside RG154
+before the tag.
+
+**Windows**, the pre-tag pass. fmt and clippy are clean; `nu
+scripts/test.nu --node`: **2148 tests over 143 suites**, 0 failed. The
+C round passes (6 checks), and so do the **57 scenes** through Rust,
+Lua, C, Node and Odin; the Odin binding's four steps with CI's pinned
+`dev-2026-09`; Node's tests under `KUI_CONFORMANCE_REQUIRED=1` (**218 of
+219**, the one skip Windows'), `npm run gen` with no diff, the
+examples' typecheck and the headless round. The windowed round with
+Node's: **53 examples on both bases**, clean on a first run; `counter`
+and `host` opened by hand after `cbuild`, and the backdrop examples
+opened with and without `KUI_BACKDROP_EMULATE`. The bench guard against
+the alpha.44 tag, on a quiet machine: **green**, the eight guarded rows
+−0.7% to +2.1% (`frame_10k_rects_with_access_tree` the high one), the
+worst run-to-run spread 3.5%. A first run beside the WSL round read two
+rows unreadable at 13 and 21% spread, which is why it was run again.
+
+**Linux**, under WSLg (llvmpipe), the same commit: fmt and clippy
+clean; `cargo test --workspace`: **1926 tests over 142 suites**, 0
+failed; the C round (5 checks) and the 57 scenes through every adapter,
+Node **219 of 219** with the corpus required, gen clean, the typecheck,
+the headless round. The windowed round under X11 with Node's: **53
+examples on both bases**, clean on a first run, two at a time. The
+backdrop examples under X11 read no wallpaper (WSLg has none to name)
+and went `Opaque`, as they should; Plasma's on-the-loop read is
+compiled and read, not run. No Mac ran this round: the AX audit is CI's
+and the next Mac round's.
