What's New in v0.15.5

v0.15.5 is a community release. 8 PRs, 5 from external contributors, 4 of them first-timers.

GitHub Viewed File Sync

When reviewing a PR, Plannotator now syncs with GitHub's native "Viewed" checkmarks. On load, the file tree fetches each file's viewerViewedState via GraphQL and pre-populates the viewed checkboxes. Toggling a file's viewed state in Plannotator fires a background mutation to mark or unmark it on GitHub. Your progress carries over between Plannotator and GitHub's PR page.

GitLab PRs are unaffected — GitLab's viewed state is localStorage-only with no API.

Custom Display Name

Previously, annotations were attributed to an auto-generated tater identity (e.g., "Rustic Potato"). You can now set a custom display name in the settings panel. A "Use git name" button pulls from git config user.name for quick setup.

This release also introduces ~/.plannotator/config.json as a persistent configuration file. Settings written here take precedence over cookies, giving a stable config layer that survives port changes and browser sessions.

Expand/Collapse All in File Tree

The code review file tree sidebar now has expand all and collapse all buttons in the header. Useful when reviewing PRs with deeply nested directory structures.

Search Performance in Code Review

Typing in the diff search bar previously rebuilt every <mark> highlight on every keystroke. For large diffs this caused visible lag. Highlights are now debounced by 100ms, and stepping through matches (Enter/Shift+Enter) swaps two elements' styles in O(1) instead of rebuilding the entire set.

Additional Changes

  • WSL update command fix. The update banner now detects WSL and shows the Unix install command instead of the Windows one (#395 by @alexandresilvestri)
  • Project slug fix for dots and underscores. projectSlugFromCwd() now matches Claude Code's actual algorithm, replacing all non-alphanumeric characters (not just /) with -. This fixes annotate-last failures for working directories with dots or underscores in the path (#401 by @aletar89)
  • Pi tool-scope import fix. The published Pi package was missing tool-scope.ts, causing a load failure. Fixed the import extension and added the file to the package manifest (#392 by @jasonodonnell, closing #391 reported by @iefnaf)
  • Pi compound planning skill. The compound planning skill is now bundled in the published Pi package, so Pi users get it automatically on install
  • Diff type switcher docs. Documented all five diff type options in the code review docs (#398, closing #397 reported by @UberMouse)
