 # Changelog
 
+## 0.2.41
+- Improve Windows npm postinstall UX with a plain setup hint, npm lifecycle non-interactive detection, and no empty cmd window from immediate daemon start.
+- Fix setup TUI menu selection highlighting on Windows terminals.
+- Propagate DAG session IDs in docs so `docdex_dag_export` is called with the `dag_session_id` from search results.
+
 ## 0.2.39
 - Bump release metadata to 0.2.39.
