May 27, 2026
📐 Mobile Tree SVG Sizing Fix (v2.3.9)

May 27, 2026
📐 Zen Mode SVG Sizing Cache Fix (v2.3.8)

May 27, 2026
📐 Zen Mode SVG Collapse Fix (v2.3.6)
Overrode tree-svg size rules in fullscreen Zen Tree mode on mobile. This prevents browser media query overrides from collapsing the SVG container height to 0, ensuring the tree elements render immediately and scale back cleanly when closed.
May 27, 2026
📐 Zen Mode Layout Fix (v2.3.5)
Resolved the layout calculation bugs when toggling Zen Tree fullscreen mode. The tree will now center correctly and retain its correct size when entering and exiting fullscreen mode, preventing empty screen and shifted placement bugs.
May 27, 2026
📐 Zen Mode Reflow Fix (v2.3.4)
Fixed a layout reflow race condition when exiting full-screen Zen Tree mode. The tree layout sizing is now delayed by 50ms, allowing panel updates to finish repainting so that the minimized tree returns perfectly to its prior centered scale.
May 27, 2026
🐾 Pets Modal Tabs & UI Cleanup (v2.3.3)
