What's New in v0.19.3

v0.19.3 makes feedback messages fully configurable and cleans up the stacked PR selector for teams working with long PR chains. Three PRs, one from an external contributor.

Configurable Feedback Messages

Every message Plannotator sends to your agent is now customizable through ~/.plannotator/config.json. Plan approvals, plan denials, review approvals, review feedback suffixes, and annotation feedback all flow through a shared prompt pipeline with {{variable}} template interpolation.

The config supports generic overrides that apply to all runtimes, plus per-runtime overrides for cases where Claude Code, OpenCode, and Pi need different phrasing. A four-level resolution order (runtime-specific, generic, runtime built-in default, global default) means you can be as granular or as broad as you want. Users who don't touch the config get identical behavior to previous versions.

This started with @oorestisime's PR adding configurable review approval prompts (#561), which was then expanded to cover all 17 hardcoded feedback strings across the hook, OpenCode, and Pi integrations (#627). The full pipeline includes 72 tests (55 unit, 17 integration) covering template resolution, config merging, backward compatibility, and end-to-end disk-to-output flow.

A new documentation page at Custom Feedback walks through the config format, available template variables, and a context-anchoring pattern contributed by @aviadshiber.

Hide Merged PRs in Stacked PR Selector

When reviewing a long chain of stacked PRs, merged PRs would show up alongside open ones in the stack tree and PR selector. For teams that iterate through a stack over several sessions, this made it harder to see which PRs still needed review.

A "Hide merged" toggle now appears in both the stack tree popover and the PR selector dropdown. When enabled, merged PRs are removed from the list and a summary count shows how many are hidden. When visible, merged PRs appear dimmed with a strikethrough title and a "merged" badge, and they're not clickable. The toggle state persists via cookie across sessions. Tree indentation was also tightened to 2px per level to prevent horizontal overflow on deep stacks (10+ nodes).

What's Changed

• feat(review): add configurable approval prompts by @oorestisime in #561

Contributors

@oorestisime filed #558 requesting commit-on-approve for code review sessions, then contributed #561 adding configurable review approval prompts. That PR seeded the broader feedback customization pipeline shipped in this release.

Community members whose issues shaped this release:

• @JohannesKlauss filed #624 requesting customizable feedback prompts for the build agent handoff
• @leoreisdias filed #625 requesting that merged PRs be hidden from the stacked PR selector, with a detailed description of the 10+ PR workflow that motivated the change
• @aviadshiber contributed a context-anchoring prompt pattern featured in the custom feedback documentation
