Start with PR 1450. Wizard, session lifecycle, input, send, and interrupt handling were each patching session state their own way through raw setter calls. That routed them all through a single update path — updateAiTab and updateSessionWith — so a tab patch behaves the same no matter which feature triggered it. The…

Second theme: parquet reliability. Three commits in a row hardened this path. Commit c0932bd added heap-pressure reporting before a crash happens, switched read limits from row counts to actual bytes, and added guards against malformed or partially-unsupported files — all driven by a real crash investigation with…

Smaller but notable: commit b3d48ce fixed a modal focus bug where two dialogs quietly lost keyboard focus a frame after opening — invisible in normal use, but it silently ate every keystroke. And commit ba80e85 made the Memory Viewer's file list focus automatically, since keyboard shortcuts were dead until you…

What's next: this consolidation work makes future state and attention bugs…
