# Buzz Desktop v0.5.5: entity links, multi-repo projects, docked terminal

> Adds entity links — rich preview cards with in-app navigation for repos, PRs, and issues. Projects now support multiple repositories. Buzz Term can be docked within a channel workspace. Introduces paste-without-formatting in the composer, a restart-required badge showing the config diff, and persisted sidebar observed-unread across webview reload. Multiple fixes for Databricks model reauthentication, stale persona harness pins, reconnect gaps that previously required CMD+R, and tray channel action serialization.
