### Fixes
- **Fix Windows PTY shutdown crashes** — Fixed crashes on Windows when terminating terminal sessions by removing unsupported signal arguments from PTY kill calls. Windows terminal emulation doesn't support signals like Linux does, so a new helper function now drops the signal on Windows while preserving graceful vs. force-kill behavior on other platforms. (7e303d2)
- **Fix agent hook script stdin handling** — Agent hook scripts now properly consume stdin data before exiting, preventing broken pipe errors when the system tries to send data to agents. This fix applies across all script types (POSIX, batch, PowerShell, Git Bash) and includes new tests to verify the behavior works correctly. (c3ab805)
- **Stop console windows stealing focus** — Fixed a Windows issue where the agent's process detection scans repeatedly opened and closed console windows that interrupted users by stealing keyboard focus. The fix hides these temporary windows during the scans, along with tests to prevent regression. (91f56c7)

### UI
- **Redesign Agents sidebar cards** — Updated how Agent task cards appear in the sidebar to better show project and workspace identity, keep task titles consistent across interactions, and prevent user replies from overwriting agent status information. Also fixed the Activity sidebar to properly respect auto-title settings and follow the most recent active task. (06ea551)

### Backend
- **Release candidate version bump** — Version updated to 1.4.138-rc.6, a new release candidate build of the Orca IDE. (084d48b)
- **Downloads badge updated to 4.9m** — The README downloads badge has been refreshed to reflect the latest download count, updating from 4.8 million to 4.9 million downloads. (8303d95)
- **Add SSH watcher isolation tests** — Added end-to-end tests to verify that SSH relay watchers automatically respawn after crashes without losing terminal or file explorer state, and that missing relay artifacts are repaired on reconnect. Extracted shared connection logic into reusable test helpers and set up a dedicated CI job to run these tests. (b69c604)
- **Optimize worktree index refreshing** — Improved how the app tracks changes across multiple Git worktrees by reducing unnecessary file system checks and adding security validation for Git references. The app now detects actual head moves more efficiently and prevents potential security issues from crafted file paths. (db9421d)
- **Reverted localization decoupling** — Undid a previous change that separated feature copy from translated locale catalogs. This restores the original localization architecture, removing specialized localization extraction scripts, state management files, and configuration allowlists while consolidating locale files back to their simpler form. (43e481b)
- **Restructure localization system architecture** — Decoupled feature copy from translated locale catalogs by introducing a new localization extraction and state management system. This includes new configuration files, verification scripts, and workflow updates to ensure deterministic cross-platform localization extraction and maintain separate tracking of translations across multiple languages.
