Hunk 0.18.0 makes reviews more precise, customizable, and extensible—while improving performance and reliability across large repositories and diverse terminals.

• A full extension platform. Install TypeScript extensions that add VCS backends, commands, sidebars, dialogs, interactive file views, themes, and workspace actions.
• Line-level review and commenting. A visible cursor moves with j/k, and c adds a comment exactly where you are looking—even across large reviews and wrapped lines.
• Richer agent context. Experimental STML notes can present structured, terminal-native explanations with preview tools and layout-aware feedback.
• Full reviews from pipelines. Piped diffs now retain Hunk’s navigation, filtering, layouts, sidebars, and other review controls.
• A UI that follows your preferences. Remappable shortcuts appear correctly in menus and help, view settings can be saved on quit, and tabs and syntax colors are configurable.
• Faster and more dependable reviews. Watch mode uses less CPU, navigation retains less memory, Unicode filenames render correctly, narrow terminals stay readable, and saved state and session behavior are more resilient.

• f7eff9d: Fix session commands when the local daemon uses the IPv6 loopback address.
• dc61750: Fix Nix flake evaluation on Nixpkgs 26.11, which dropped x86_64-darwin. Hunk's flake no longer declares that system, and it now pins bun2nix's systems input to the same list so building the aarch64-darwin package never forces an Intel macOS Nixpkgs. The system list is exposed as a systems flake input for consumers that need to override it.

• 736b1d7: Republish the 0.17.5 application changes as 0.17.6 so the GitHub release includes downloadable binaries for every supported platform. Application behavior is unchanged from 0.17.5.

• 034ec93: Avoid loading OpenTUI's embedded native library for headless commands. Help, version, session polling, daemon serving, markup rendering, and non-interactive pager paths now stay behind a lightweight CLI entrypoint, preventing Bun from leaking a native temp file for commands that never open the review UI.
• aa123df: Optimize terminal cell width measurement so diffs with CJK, emoji, and chrome-glyph runs render faster: single-scalar clusters now measure through a fast zero-width check plus the East Asian Width table instead of string-width's expensive emoji regexes, while multi-scalar clusters still defer to string-width for identical results.

• a9b8694: Restore OpenTUI's platform-default renderer threading to improve interactive startup on macOS.
• 67674fa: Rapidly pressing Ctrl+S (or double-clicking Save) while saving a draft note no longer saves the same note twice, and saved note ids stay unique even within one millisecond.

• 9d1c346: Extend static pager diff-row backgrounds to the edge of host panels such as Lazygit.
• 05d6c17: Wrap plain-text agent notes by terminal cells instead of UTF-16 code units, so CJK and emoji text wraps correctly instead of being truncated with silent content loss. Long unbroken words split on grapheme boundaries, so wide characters and surrogate pairs are never cut apart.

• 7e934a0: Reject malformed and unsafe line and hunk numbers instead of accepting their numeric prefix.
• d1d36fc: Fix mouse-selection copy misalignment on lines with wide (CJK, emoji) characters: drag, double-click, and triple-click selections now convert terminal cell columns into string indices before slicing, so the copied text matches the selected cells exactly. File-header rows with wide-character filenames now copy with the same cell alignment, and invisible zero-width characters at a selection boundary round-trip through the clipboard.

• cb8d626: Prevent Windows crashes when scrolling to the end of a diff and suppress Yoga NaN warning spam in Apple Silicon npm installs by upgrading OpenTUI to 0.4.3.
• 45f6402: Reduced retained memory for large reviews by lazily materializing cached geometry row plans only when copy selection needs them.
• 7ae443d: Fix global config discovery on Windows when HOME is unavailable.

• 6cd39c9: Add a configurable menu bar toggle so keyboard-driven reviews can reclaim one row of terminal space.
• 8945272: Add an enableClaudeIntegration home-manager option that links the packaged hunk-review skill into ~/.claude/skills, so Nix users get the Claude Code review skill without manual setup.
• d2be4e7: Add an enableJujutsuIntegration home-manager option that sets hunk as the jujutsu pager and switches ui.diff-formatter to :git so jj emits diffs hunk can render.

• 0a3cc06: Add an Agent menu dialog that shows and copies the Hunk review skill setup prompt.
• d7f1558: Upgrade OpenTUI to 0.4.2 and Bun to 1.3.14 for renderer, input, and platform fixes.
• 675104f: Fix a transient bottom-edge scroll clamp: mounted diff sections now always render their agent-note rows, so the review stream's painted height matches its measured layout height and over-scrolling at the bottom can no longer snap short by the height of an offscreen note.
• 65a2740: Highlight .mts and .cts files as TypeScript instead of plain text.
• ed8268a: Stop treating Escape as a global quit shortcut; use q to quit while preserving Escape for dialogs and focused controls.
• 290ebcd: Keep live review sessions from being pruned after the machine wakes from sleep.
• ae57101: Avoid transient mixed-color frames when previewing or accepting themes from the theme selector.
• 916cd8a: Preserve added and removed diff row tints when transparent background mode is enabled in the interactive TUI.
• d4b829f: Fix session daemon auto-launch on Windows: the compiled binary's virtual B:\~BUN\... entrypoint was mistaken for a script path and passed to the relaunched daemon as a bogus argument, so hunk session commands never found a live session.

• 8ffe0ba: Refresh Hunk's built-in theme system, default to github-dark-default, and simplify theme selection around one theme setting with View -> Themes… / t opening the selector. Custom themes can inherit from any built-in theme with custom_theme.base while keeping explicit syntax color overrides, and removed theme ids such as graphite and paper remain accepted as compatibility aliases.

• 4bef148: Allow session comment cleanup commands to remove human c notes: comment rm accepts user:* note ids, and comment clear --include-user/--all clears user notes alongside live agent comments.
• 48b97ac: Adopt Changesets for release-note fragments so pull requests can avoid conflicting CHANGELOG.md edits.
• c0cf637: Prevent standalone Hunk binaries from loading bunfig.toml files from the caller's working directory.
• c28c266: Improve React review-stream responsiveness by reducing offscreen file mounting work while preserving adjacent highlight prefetching.
• 3906f39: Honor explicit split layout mode in static pager output for captured hosts like LazyGit.
• 8ffe0ba: Improve generated theme contrast checks for built-in themes, including diff rows, metadata, chrome, and fallback token colors.
• 59fcdbb: Require an explicit click or keyboard action before previewing a theme from the theme selector, while keeping mouse-wheel navigation available inside the selector.

• Added release benchmark snapshots and a release workflow gate that blocks publishing when committed benchmark results show material performance regressions, with auditable accepted-regression records for intentional release tradeoffs.

• Fixed Windows launches from Cygwin, Git Bash, and WSL-style VCS paths by normalizing Unix-style repo roots before reusing them as subprocess working directories or filesystem roots.
• Fixed release staging so benchmark comparison artifacts are not mistaken for platform binary artifacts.
• Reduced hunk-navigation latency and memory growth on large reviews by keeping diff geometry memoized when the selected hunk changes.
• Reduced scroll and hunk-navigation latency on large reviews by avoiding repeated separator measurement and preserving memoized offscreen/visible diff rows across viewport updates.
• Reduced main diff pane rendering work on large reviews by virtualizing offscreen file sections behind exact-height spacers.
• Reduced sidebar rendering work on many-file reviews by virtualizing offscreen file rows behind exact-height spacers.

• Coalesced scroll-position React updates into a single per-frame read and shifted background syntax highlighting from microtasks to timers, so rapid wheel or held-arrow scrolling no longer produces visible jank from per-delta state updates or per-file highlight work starving input and render callbacks.

• Honored --transparent-bg and transparent_background in static pager output, so captured pager hosts like LazyGit let translucent terminal backgrounds through on context lines, gutters, and hunk headers while added/removed rows keep their tinted backgrounds.
• Kept menu dropdowns and the help dialog on the base theme in transparent-background mode so popups remain readable over translucent terminals.
• Resolved hunk session ... --repo <path> selectors to the containing repo root before matching, so --repo . (and any path inside the tree) targets the live session from a subdirectory instead of reporting no match.

• Restored the e keyboard shortcut and menu hint for opening the selected file in $EDITOR.
• Added timeouts to hunk session * daemon capability and API calls so unresponsive daemons fail instead of hanging indefinitely.
• Updated OpenTUI so light and dark theme backgrounds render without the native renderer's color shift.
• Prevented Git watch polling from taking optional index locks while discovering untracked files.

• Show the newly selected theme in the footer status bar when switching themes.
• Added Catppuccin Frappé and Macchiato as built-in themes, completing the four official Catppuccin flavors.
• Added a Zenburn built-in theme (theme = "zenburn"), a warm low-contrast dark palette inspired by Jani Nurminen's original Zenburn. It also works as a custom-theme base.
• Added a --transparent-bg flag and transparent_background config option for translucent terminal setups.
• Added Sapling VCS backend support for hunk diff and hunk show.

• Preserved split diff alignment when horizontal scrolling starts inside a wide CJK or emoji character.
• Made diff syntax highlighting follow the active theme: keyword, function, number, and variable token colors now resolve to the configured theme's palette (including custom themes) in both light and dark, instead of passing through Pierre's built-in syntax colors.
• Expanded the diff window during rapid scrolling bursts so large reviews keep real rows mounted instead of falling back to blank placeholder regions.

• Added local performance benchmarks for Hunk startup, loading, rendering, highlighting, navigation, memory, and optional competitor comparisons.

• Fixed npm installs by pinning @pierre/diffs to the version Hunk is tested with instead of allowing the broken 1.2.6 release.

• Added Catppuccin Latte and Mocha as built-in themes.
• Added mouse-drag text selection in diff views that copies selected rows to the system clipboard via OSC 52. A View > Copy decorations toggle (or copy_decorations config) controls whether the clipboard includes diff rails, gutters, and file headers or only the changed code.
• Added inline expansion for collapsed unchanged file content. Click an unchanged-context row (▾ N unchanged lines when expandable, otherwise the static ··· N unchanged lines ··· form) or press e while a hunk is selected to reveal surrounding and trailing file lines without leaving the review. The affordance is shown only for input modes that have reachable source content (hunk diff, show, stash show, file-pair diff and difftool, untracked files); raw hunk patch input still renders as before. Failed and in-flight loads surface a one-line status ("Loading…", "Could not load N unchanged lines") on the gap row. Expanded context rows use the same syntax highlighting as the surrounding diff.
• Surfaced the agent author name in inline notes and the matching agent popover so multi-agent reviews are readable at a glance, with a fallback title when an annotation has no author.

• Preserved Git log ANSI colors when hunk pager falls back to a plain-text terminal pager for non-diff output.
• Capped inline context expansion source reads so huge files cannot freeze or exhaust memory when expanding unchanged lines.
• Hardened plain-text pager startup so PAGER and HUNK_TEXT_PAGER shell metacharacters are passed as arguments instead of being evaluated implicitly.
• Hardened terminal rendering against control-sequence injection from diffs, file paths, notes, expanded context, copied selections, and pager fallback output.
• Fixed custom theme configuration so Catppuccin Latte and Mocha can be used as base themes.
• Fixed inline note draft shortcuts so copy chords such as Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Shift-C no longer trigger note actions.
• Fixed split diff alignment for wide CJK and emoji characters by measuring rendered text in terminal cells.
• Fixed Ctrl-S saving for inline notes when tmux sends CSI-u keyboard input.
• Stabilized hover backgrounds on wrapped diff rows so add-note affordances do not shift row layout.
• Restricted session reloads so daemon commands cannot read files outside the initial Hunk session root.
• Fixed static pager output so captured pager hosts honor configured custom themes.
• Made hunk pager pass non-diff text through in captured pager and dumb-terminal contexts instead of spawning less.
• Fixed the e editor shortcut when Hunk is launched from a repo subdirectory.
• Fixed VCS auto-detection so a Git repository nested under a parent Jujutsu workspace still uses Git mode by default.

• Hid the inline add-note affordance while scrolling and only show it after deliberate pointer movement, so it no longer flickers during review navigation.
• Hardened the local session daemon against browser-originated requests by validating Host and Origin headers and requiring JSON content types for API posts.
• Disabled the generic broker HTTP API by default so Hunk's supported session API is the only app-daemon command surface.
• Bounded session daemon memory by capping HTTP request body and websocket message sizes and rejecting session registrations with oversized file, hunk, patch, comment, or note payloads.

• Added an e shortcut to open the selected diff file in $EDITOR.
• Added g and G keyboard aliases for jump-to-top and jump-to-bottom review navigation.
• Added session-persistent user-authored inline notes with c to draft/save notes.
• Added hunk session comment list --type <live|all|ai|agent|user> so agents can read human-authored notes through the comment workflow.

• Clarified inline note draft actions by labeling buttons as Save (^S) and Cancel (Esc).

• Fixed draft note focus handling so app shortcuts resume after the note textarea blurs without discarding the draft.
• Preserved the resolved auto theme across --watch refreshes instead of falling back to the default dark theme.
• Fixed standalone release archive generation so staged npm package directories are not accidentally packaged as GitHub release assets.

• Included the bundled Hunk review skill in standalone prebuilt release archives so hunk skill path works after extracting a tarball or installing via Homebrew.

• Added Homebrew tap release automation and Homebrew-aware startup update notices.
• Added lower-level hunkdiff/opentui primitives for embedding Hunk diff bodies, file headers, file navigation, and multi-file review streams in custom OpenTUI apps.
• Added row windowing for large single-file reviews to keep huge diffs responsive.
• Added Windows x64 prebuilt artifact publishing to the release workflow.
• Added native Windows support in the README, contributor guide, and local build/install scripts.
• Added Nix flake app outputs for nix run, a named hunk package output, and package validation.
• Added automatic light/dark theme detection from the terminal background when theme = "auto" is enabled.

• Ported build:npm, build:bin, and install:bin from bash scripts to cross-platform Bun-runnable TypeScript so native Windows contributors no longer need Git Bash to build or install Hunk locally.

• Fixed the prebuilt npm package so the hunkdiff/opentui export and bundled type declarations are included.
• Fixed the npm package so npx hunkdiff and other package-name executable lookups resolve to the Hunk CLI.
• Made hunk pager emit static highlighted diff output for captured pager contexts like LazyGit, and pass diff input through unchanged when stdout is non-interactive.
• Fixed Ctrl-Z job-control suspend support so Hunk can suspend and resume cleanly from a terminal.
• Fixed Windows compatibility issues across paths, packaging, and tests.
• Fixed Ctrl-C in the live TUI so it exits through Hunk's full shutdown path instead of only destroying the renderer.

• Auto-detect Jujutsu checkouts for hunk diff and hunk show, while keeping explicit vcs config overrides.

• Fixed large tracked and untracked file handling so very large diffs render as skipped placeholders instead of slowing startup or overflowing the JavaScript call stack.
• Fixed Git patch parsing for diff.noprefix=true input so Hunk restores parser-safe a/ and b/ prefixes without mangling real paths.
• Fixed hunk pager parsing for Git diffs emitted with diff.mnemonicPrefix=true so file paths do not keep i/, w/, c/, 1/, or 2/ side prefixes.
• Fixed review scrolling so viewport updates are coalesced and no longer risk a render loop.
• Fixed agent comment hunk ranges so context lines from hunk headers remain part of the target range.
• Fixed untracked-file reviews in repositories with external diff tools configured by passing --no-ext-diff.
• Fixed diff geometry for hunks with multiple agent notes so offscreen notes no longer skew scrolling measurements.

• Added vcs = "jj" support, enabling hunk diff [revset] and hunk show [revset].
• Added a pager-mode sidebar file tree that can be revealed with the existing s shortcut while keeping pager chrome hidden by default.

• Fixed git log -p and multi-commit git show -p inputs so patch parsing ignores commit metadata instead of emitting Pierre parser warnings.
• Fixed cross-file hunk navigation so near-boundary jumps keep the selected file pinned and backward jumps reveal the target hunk instead of the file top.
• Fixed the View menu sidebar checkmark so it follows whether the responsive layout is actually rendering the sidebar.

• Added agent comment counts in the sidebar so review-heavy files stand out at a glance.
• Added hunk daemon serve as the standard daemon entrypoint and published reusable session-broker packages plus an OpenTUI diff component for integrators.

• Included untracked files when hunk diff <ref> still compares against the live working tree, while keeping explicit revset diffs commit-to-commit only.

• Enabled mouse scrolling in pager mode.
• Balanced Pierre word-level highlights so split-view inline changes stay visible without overpowering the surrounding diff row.
• Smoothed mouse-wheel review scrolling so small diffs stay precise while sustained wheel gestures still speed up.
• Fixed Shift+mouse-wheel horizontal scrolling so it no longer leaks a one-line vertical scroll in some terminals.

• Added a Modem sponsor block to the README.
