+- **2026-10-13** · Dialogs and the About window move when you drag their title row, so the page behind them can be seen. A dragged dialog may go partly off-screen, but its title row stays reachable; each dialog opens centred, and again after the window is resized. No readiness percentage change.
 - **2026-10-12** · macOS Dock Quit uses the same unsaved-document prompts as window and menu Quit. Repeated requests keep the current answers; Cancel retains every tab and unsaved recovery checkpoint, and completed Save/Don't Save answers exit through the ordinary event loop. No readiness percentage change.
 - **2026-10-12** · Orderly native exit writes the latest recovery state after finalizing current quit approvals; incomplete or stale plans keep their documents, and Undo to the saved state clears stale recovery. Unavailable or failed recovery is reported. Cancelable macOS Dock Quit remains open (#544). No readiness percentage change.
 - **2026-10-12** · Recovered documents keep a checkpoint until saved, closed or reverted, including a second crash before autosave. Restarted document IDs and explicit recovery folders preserve other snapshots; failed republishing retains the original. No readiness percentage change.
