+- Keep the locally configured Navigator client pinned to a versioned snapshot outside the development checkout, so rebuilding the repository cannot silently change the installed plugin.
+- Stop tracking project-local OpenCode TUI configuration; ignore both TUI and CLI config files without removing existing local settings.
+- Let real-host smoke tests verify pinned plugin installations with isolated configurations.
+
+## [0.17.0] - 2026-09-29
+
+- Add an opt-in Behavior setting to start a new session directly in chat with the sidebar from Home or New session.
+- Remember the previously installed Navigator version and show the intervening release notes once after an update.
+
 ## [0.16.1] - 2026-09-25
 
 - Make the entire OpenCode or Navigator version label open its own update confirmation when an update is available. The separator and the other version remain inactive.

+OpenCode uses your configured global Navigator installation when opened in this

 Configured files may define behavior, layout, desired MCP states, layout and MCP
