Improved Saves — package writes report failure clearly instead of failing quietly; external file changes are watched with vnode events rather than polling. Logging — debug noise is replaced with a shared CoraLog path for clearer diagnostics when something goes wrong.

New Bookmark comments — attach a note to any Read or To-do bookmark. Edit in the bookmarks list or right in the story gutter; comments stay with the scene and never appear in export. Commented filter — show only bookmarks that have notes. Chapter or All — browse this chapter’s bookmarks or the whole novel from the same panel. Improved Bookmarks panel — create and remove bookmarks from the capsule list, resize the panel height (Cora remembers it), and jump to a passage by clicking the row (comment text stays editable on its own). Gutter editing — add or edit a comment beside the story; Return or Escape leaves the field and keeps your draft. Inline add/remove tools stay out of the way when a comment is already open or already exists. Save — old-school disk save only: no background autosave, no Recoverable Versions conflict dialog. You choose when the file is written. Export — manuscript export paths hardened, with broader automated checks against the expected output. Fixed Word (.docx) — paragraph breaks and text formatting (bold / italic / underline) export correctly again. PDF — the saved file matches the preview: full multi-page manuscripts instead of a single truncated page. Undo after adding a bookmark and comment no longer crashes, and restored comments show again in the gutter as well as the list. Inflated gaps between scenes and incorrect sticky title occlusion in the story view.

New Text formatting — apply bold, italic, and underline from the Typography dock, inline selection tools, or ⌘B / ⌘I / ⌘U. Styles stay with your scenes and travel into PDF export; plain-text export and search still see clean prose. Bookmarks — mark a passage as Read (green) or To-do (orange). Highlights stay with the scene; jump from the chapter Bookmarks capsule (⌘6) or the Part view list. ⇧⌘D for Read, ⇧⌘B for To-do. Export and search still see clean prose. Scenes Scenes in the Parts sidebar — expand a part to browse every scene across its chapters without leaving the outline. Drag and drop — reorder scenes within a chapter or move them between chapters, from the Parts sidebar or from scene cards in Part view. Part view — expand chapters, drag a scene card between them, then open it in the story: Parts sidebar — drag a scene between chapters, then reveal it in the story: Collapse and expand chapters — in Part view, fold individual chapters to focus on one at a time, or expand/collapse all chapters at once. Changed Scene Inspector shortcut moved to ⌘5, freeing ⌘I for italic. Improved Style metadata is stored in a small footer on scene files — open them in any text editor and the body stays readable plain UTF-8. Inline selection tools fold text styles and bookmarks into compact controls that expand on hover.

Bug fixes, small improvements.
