+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+* **settings:** describe borrowed keys with the docs, not SchemaStore ([fbcd686](https://github.com/ayagmar/ccdesk/commit/fbcd68678c24c277fe721332b88303b62d0b2504))
+* **settings:** give borrowed keys the docs' full text, not the summary ([5cd93c4](https://github.com/ayagmar/ccdesk/commit/5cd93c44612b0bc082d42fe6dfb0601050470a1a))
+* **ui:** stop column heads covering section titles in Firefox ([7ccfce7](https://github.com/ayagmar/ccdesk/commit/7ccfce747c6271c282b3bc71c3b5a76acfa182d7))

+
+* **core:** warn when a higher managed source than the files is present ([cb04a30](https://github.com/ayagmar/ccdesk/commit/cb04a30e72293270bdf4e3529a938ef13188bb41))
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+* **core:** count Explorer as having opened the file on Windows ([eb1a120](https://github.com/ayagmar/ccdesk/commit/eb1a12090507be426765c38d2e71a5f5500622ef))

+* **core:** look up ~/.claude.json folders as Claude Code keys them on Windows ([67a445d](https://github.com/ayagmar/ccdesk/commit/67a445d2a569bccd8f1615e798af099ece5dbe38))
+* **core:** name long project stores as Claude Code does ([98f4dd8](https://github.com/ayagmar/ccdesk/commit/98f4dd8f4efbe1ce0c2154e58b554c9a05baed95))
+* **core:** read JSON files that start with a byte order mark ([6bb2fd3](https://github.com/ayagmar/ccdesk/commit/6bb2fd302d468f1603d2230270ce5c9999027e93))
+* **core:** report a backup folder ccdesk cannot read instead of listing none ([1209b9c](https://github.com/ayagmar/ccdesk/commit/1209b9c0a360939a3247fd3e92ad9b0d41b579f6))
+* **core:** say why claude did not start on Windows instead of "not on PATH" ([9c0d3ad](https://github.com/ayagmar/ccdesk/commit/9c0d3adcc0ad0cb1ff4ed6b66377b603c1b1f4da))
+
+### Performance Improvements
+
+* **core:** group hand-approved calls without copying each group ([9ab7219](https://github.com/ayagmar/ccdesk/commit/9ab7219986690e08669f3aceacb93f3f48777e11))
+* **ui:** refresh the overview on focus and saves, not on watched changes ([9010576](https://github.com/ayagmar/ccdesk/commit/901057643dfcded5f2463ccb09353a5d264f109d))

+`scripts/schemastore-claude-code-settings.json` in the repository is a copy of SchemaStore's schema
+for Claude Code settings, <https://json.schemastore.org/claude-code-settings.json>, reformatted.
+`src/shared/settings.schema.json` (`dist/shared/settings.schema.json` in the package) includes
+definitions copied from it for documented keys that the Settings type in
+`@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk` does not define. In each copied definition, the top-level
+`description` is replaced with the text from Claude Code's settings reference and a `$comment`
+naming SchemaStore as its source is added; nothing else in it is changed.

+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications

+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
