pi-studio 0.5.16 → 0.5.18

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.5.18] — 2026-03-17
+
+### Fixed
+- cmux sidebar Studio status pills now use a darker blue in light mode, making `running…` / `compacting…` much easier to read.
+- The annotated-reply header wording in Studio now says `user annotation syntax: [an: note]`, matching the intended user-guidance semantics more clearly.
+
+## [0.5.17] — 2026-03-17
+
+### Fixed
+- Studio preview and PDF rendering now accept Markdown lists without a preceding blank line, so common model output like `What I read:\n- item` renders as a real list instead of collapsing into a paragraph.
+
 ## [0.5.16] — 2026-03-17
