What's Changed

• fix(ipc): Handle stale repository paths gracefully in git:getRepositoryStatus. When a registered repo directory is missing from disk, the handler now returns an unavailable status instead of throwing PathGuardError/Git repository is unavailable. Genuine path-escape attempts still throw.
• style(ui): Darken background to a neutral near-black floor (#0E0F11). Surface ladder, borders, glass tokens, and terminal fallback shifted to match. WCAG AA dim ratios refreshed.

v0.5.0

• feat(sidebar): Add right-click context menus for threads and worktrees with Archive and Delete actions
• Inline confirmation flow: first click shows confirm prompt, second click executes the action

Full Changelog: v0.3.1...v0.3.2

What's Changed

This release brings a complete design system overhaul with a fresh green accent palette, squared-off UI elements, and Inter font family.

Design System Overhaul

• New accent color: Green primary (#00E559) replacing blue
• Squared-off aesthetic: All border radii set to 0px for a sharper look
• Typography: Switched to Inter Variable font family
• Color palette: Darker near-black floor (#0C0D0F) with refined surface hierarchy
• Animation: Slower, more deliberate transitions (500-700ms for major states)
• Icon sizing: Unified to 18px with 1.5px stroke weight
• Typography scale: Smaller base (10.5px body) for denser information display

Git Worktree Improvements

• Resolved branch creation edge case when base branch only exists on remote
