Changes since last release

From CHANGELOG.md, 2026-10-29:

The Code transcript's stick-to-bottom fix is retired (thanks @Felitendo, #303)

• claude.ai fixed the stranded transcript itself. The Code transcript is now a virtualized feed with its own pin. Measured live against claude.ai without fix_epitaxy_autoscroll: a 3 px drift while a response streams is snapped back and the view follows to the end, and a deliberate scroll up of 30 px or 500 px is left alone.
• The patch now got in the way. It pulled the view back down whenever it was within 64 px of the bottom, so a short scroll up that is not a wheel or touch gesture (dragging the scrollbar, for one) was undone by the next streamed line. fix_epitaxy_autoscroll and js/fix_epitaxy_autoscroll.js are removed.

The "Calm the Cowork glow" switch is gone (thanks @Felitendo, #302)

• claude.ai no longer has the glow it calmed. Cowork now lives in the Claude tab, and the pulsing hero glow went with the old Cowork home: .cowork-hero-glow and its cowork-hero-glow-pulse keyframes are in none of claude.ai's current stylesheets, so the switch matched nothing and changed nothing. add_feature_cowork_glow and its Community Features row are removed; a leftover coworkGlow / coworkGlowOpacity key in claude-desktop-extra.json(c) is ignored.
