+## [1.2.6] - 2026-10-15
+
+### Changed
+- Errors are now shown as a clean panel (what happened, where, how to fix) instead of a raw Python traceback. The full traceback is written to the log file; use `--debug` to print it.
+- `termux-sync help` / `-h` now renders a grouped, readable help screen instead of the long argparse dump.
+- Unknown commands show "Did you mean ...?" suggestions (and point `update` to `tsctl updater`).
+- Closed input (EOF / Ctrl+D) during a prompt is reported clearly instead of crashing.
+
+### Fixed
+- Missing `rich` no longer causes a `NameError`; it is installed automatically on first run.
+- Invalid "Max backups" input in `setup` no longer crashes.
+- Error text containing square brackets can no longer break rich markup.

-- **`restore` — stuck retrying and failing with `HTTP Error 404: Not Found` when the GitHub backend points to a private repo** — `GitHubStorage.download()` and the `manifest.json` lookup in `list_backups()` downloaded release assets via `asset["browser_download_url"]` using the standard `Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json` header. That URL only resolves without further authentication for public repos; for private repos GitHub returns 404 even with a valid token, since the download must go through the `/repos/{repo}/releases/assets/{id}` API endpoint with `Accept: application/octet-stream`. Added `GitHubStorage._asset_headers()` and `_asset_url()` and switched both call sites to use them, so restoring from a private-repo backend now downloads correctly instead of exhausting all 8 retries.
