v1.6.0

Provenance

The build of v1.6.0 is taken from the release/v1.6.0 branch, which was created from the exact commit used to build v1.6.0-rc.1 (5d7248cb, identified from build run #28440671374, 2026-06-30 11:24 UTC) plus seven cherry-picked commits that had landed on main after the RC cut. This is the corrected replay of the 2026-07-05 promote, which previously tagged the post-RC tip of main instead of the RC snapshot.

Cherry-picked since v1.6.0-rc.1

CI / scripts only (no impact on the Electron bundle):

• f13191d refactor(ci): switch Discord automation from webhooks to single bot
• 6f2cf86 fix(ci): restore mention suppression and patch resilience after webhook migration
• c103436 test(ci): collapse discord-bot-api tests via describe.each
• 72cb541 fix(ci): address CodeRabbit review on discord-bot-api
• 23c55d7 docs(ai-edition): add HANDOFF.md

User-facing correctness only (tested scope of the RC unchanged):

• 2c1e036 fix: restore README screenshots and localize image read errors
• 0f6c85f refactor(i18n): drop duplicate annotation.failedImageUpload key

Features added to main after the RC cut are not in this release and will ship in v1.7.0: the Tiptap upgrade, the new NotesWindow rich-text view, the in-recorder "lint button", and the merged-PR issue-bookkeeping sweeps.
