-### Cleaner usage cards
-Removed the redundant "5h" / "7d" labels from each card row — the section headers already make it clear which limit is which.
-
-### Beta update support
-The app now correctly detects and compares beta versions (e.g. v1.1.2-beta.2 > v1.1.2-beta.1) when the beta channel is enabled in Settings. Stable releases also correctly supersede beta builds of the same version — so users on a beta are prompted to install the final release.
-
-### Fixed crash when enabling beta channel
-Enabling the beta toggle could crash the app if no stable update was available. This is now fixed.
-
-### Fixed settings panel truncation
-The app name and version number no longer get cut off when an update badge is displayed in Settings.
+### Compact update banner
+The in-app update banner no longer shows full release notes — it now shows a short message and lets you tap Update to read what's new in the install sheet. This prevents the banner from pushing content around when release notes are long.
