What's New in v0.16.5

v0.16.5 is a patch release fixing a scrollbar regression in the review UI and shipping two VS Code extension improvements. 3 PRs, all internal.

Resize Handle Scrollbar Fix

In v0.16.2, the sidebar resize handle's invisible touch area was widened to make dragging easier. The right-side handle extended 8px leftward into the content panel, covering the 6px scrollbar. Users could see the scrollbar but couldn't click it because the resize handle's hit area intercepted the click. This was a regression from the touch area change in commit 3ac3d5b.

The fix zeroes out the left encroachment on right-side handles and shifts the full touch target into the sidebar panel instead. The scrollbar is now fully accessible on both plan review and code review views.

• #465, closing #354 reported by @dillonoconnor

VS Code Extension

The extension README icon now uses an absolute URL so the VS Code Marketplace renders it correctly. Previously, the marketplace resolved the relative image path against the repo root rather than the extension subdirectory, resulting in a broken icon on the listing page.

The extension is also now published to the VS Code Marketplace as backnotprop.plannotator-webview. The .vscodeignore was tightened from 548 packaged files down to 12, the README was rewritten with CloudFront-hosted screenshots, and the marketing site gained a VS Code tab in the hero agent selector with install instructions and a marketplace link.

• #464
• #463, closing #462 and #258

VS Code Extension: Install from the VS Code Marketplace. The extension opens plan review and code review directly in VS Code editor tabs instead of a browser window. Tested with Claude Code running in VS Code's integrated terminal. Not currently compatible with Anthropic's official VS Code extension due to upstream hook bugs.
