## What changed


- **Marketplace status reporting**: working marketplaces no longer reported as missing
- **Manually added MCP servers**: now finish authenticating instead of failing to connect (app)
- **Thinking timer stability**: keeps counting correctly when moving between views instead of restarting (app)
- **Diff colors by theme**: added/removed lines use colors matching light or dark theme (app)
- **Paginated member pickers**: page through the entire organization instead of showing only first results (app)
- **Markdown in default app**: markdown files open in the default app instead of being blocked (app)
