 ## Change process (mandatory)

 1. **Small, incremental, well-tested changes** — work is done one change at a time, in smaller parts; each part is tested before moving on. Connected tasks that touch the same area of code MAY be done together on one branch/PR with a single version bump (e.g. two tweaks to the same panel).
-2. **Gitea issue first** — file an issue on Gitea (`https://git.kkhost.pl`, repo `OpenCode/History`) describing the change (title, scope, acceptance criteria) before or alongside creating the branch. The issue is the single source of intent; the PR references it.
+2. **Gitea issue + `Fixes #N` in the PR** — the PR references (and, via `Fixes #N`, closes) the Gitea issue(s) the work addresses (`https://git.kkhost.pl`, repo `OpenCode/History`). If the user has already filed issue(s) for the change, reference those directly in the PR — no separate changelog issue is created; only file a fresh issue when the work has none pre-filed (e.g. a fix originating purely from chat feedback). `CHANGELOG.md` is always the durable changelog of what shipped.
 3. **Feature branch + PR** — every change lands on a feature branch off `master` (no direct pushes to `master`). Open a pull request against `master` on Gitea; reference the issue in the PR description.
 4. **Changelog entry** — every change is listed in `CHANGELOG.md` with a version, date and time (format: `## v<version> — YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM`, then bullet points of what changed).
 5. **Version bump** — the version is updated in `package.json`.

+- **Stale SSE snapshots can arrive *after* a fresher REST response — the version guard is what

+## v0.5.0 — 2026-10-11 17:36
+
+- **HUD revamp** — removed the "Map" window (the full-screen map is directly interactive via scroll/trackpad; no floating zoom control, and the now-dead `MapApi`/`onMapReady` map plumbing is removed from `WorldMap`); the top bar is now a fixed, non-movable element pinned to top-center a few px from the top (a new `pinned` mode on `FloatingWindow` — viewport-centered, no drag, no persisted position, always above other windows); and the dossier / event-feed / action panels can each be docked into a left or right full-height pane (a new `dock`/`onDockChange` mode on `FloatingWindow`, with small left/right/float controls in each title bar, choice persisted in `localStorage` and reproduced on reload; the default "float" reproduces the current first-run layout exactly). The legend stays a small floating widget. Fixes #4, Fixes #5.
+- **`FloatingWindow`** — new optional props: `pinned` (top-center fixed bar), `dock` (`'left'`/`'right'` full-height columns) and `onDockChange` (renders the dock controls and reports the mode), plus `dataTestId` (a `data-testid` on the window root for e2e). `anchor` is now optional (defaults to `top-center`).
+- **New `data-testid`s** — `top-bar` (pinned header), `panel-dossier` / `panel-feed` / `panel-action` (per-window roots), and `dock-left` / `dock-right` / `dock-float` (per-window dock controls).
+- **New localStorage key** — `history.floatwin.v1.dock` (per-id dock mode); mirrors the existing `history.floatwin.v1.collapsed`.
+- **E2E** — new "HUD revamp" suite: asserts the Map window and its zoom buttons are gone, the top bar is pinned and horizontally centered a few px from the top (and doesn't move under a drag attempt), the dossier docks to the left edge (full-height) and the feed to the right edge, and a dock choice survives a page reload — all deterministic under `LLM_STUB=1` (11 tests, up from 9).
+
+## v0.4.0 — 2026-10-11 16:02
+
+- **Fix: queued items disappearing from the pending list (#10).** Root cause: SSE `state` events carried no freshness information, and the client's `onState`/`onTurn` handlers applied any incoming snapshot unconditionally. A stale snapshot — e.g. the SSE on-connect resync taken just before an add was saved, or an EventSource auto-reconnect — could arrive *after* the add's REST response and clobber it, so "add one: nothing happens, add another: both appear". Fix: every mutation now bumps a monotonic `GameState.version` (persisted in SQLite, started at 1 on create, bumped by `queueRoundItem`, the new `removeRoundItem`, and `applyTurnResult`; legacy games without the field are treated as version 0), and the client routes *every* state ingestion (SSE events, add/remove/jump responses, game loads) through a single "never go backwards" rule: a different game id is always adopted, the same game only when the incoming version is not older than the current one (compared inside the functional `setGame` updater, so it is stale-closure-proof).
+- **New: remove button for queued items (#11).** Each pending-queue row in "Your move" has a small trash-icon button that opens a shadcn `Dialog` confirmation (item quoted, Cancel / destructive Remove, dark command-center styling). Confirming calls the new `POST /api/games/:id/queue/remove` (body `{ index }`) — same fast save → broadcast → respond order as the add routes, no LLM, no turn advance; invalid indices get a 400. The client `api.removeQueueItem(id, index)` is version-gated like every other state update, so the list can never regress after a removal.
+- **Unit tests** — new `removeRoundItem` tests (valid removal + version bump, out-of-bounds/non-integer → `null`), version-bump assertions for `queueRoundItem`/`applyTurnResult`/stub turn, a legacy-no-version case, and version round-trip in `db.test.ts` (39 tests, up from 35).
+- **E2E** — new "queue add is never clobbered by a stale SSE snapshot" test (one add appears immediately, still there after a 1s grace period for late SSE events, version strictly increases across adds, queue survives a full page reload) and a "remove with confirmation" test (cancel keeps the item, confirm removes it, no turn advance, version persisted) — all deterministic under `LLM_STUB=1`.
