v26.5.52May 25, 2026
Shell chrome now reads calmer, with the sidebar collapse control in the header, the library route using one shell, and the chat composer/settings surfaces tightened up.
Fixed
- Shell navigation chrome: removed the highlighted
New chattreatment, moved the web collapse control into the header cluster, and kept the thicker collapse icon so the shell behaves the same in web and desktop contexts. - Library shell cleanup: registered the library route sidebar override, removed duplicate sidebar loading fallback behavior, and retuned the filter, release-date, and status surfaces to the shell-v1 accent palette.
- Chat composer stability: tightened focus restoration after send, simplified the attachment menu copy, and gave dictation a visible active state with the updated shell button treatment.
- Settings hierarchy and usage meter: flattened duplicated settings headers, normalized sidebar labels, and updated usage counters and progress fills to the Geist accent colors.
