Documents remain associated with their worktrees, and Git `difftool` works in real-time as well. When using coding assistants, the change set window can remain in the background.
– Real-time updates in the sidebar: files not modified when opened will automatically show changes.
– Real-time display of untracked files, marked with question mark icons until they are included in Git version control.
– Clear distinction of file staging states: fully staged files use solid icons, partially staged files use hollow icons.
– Push Git operations like file changes, commits, and rollbacks to the notification center, allowing you to navigate to the corresponding change content by clicking the notification.
– Added toolbar controls for pausing and resuming real-time refresh, and customizable notification options.
– Full support for Git worktrees.
– **Unified Change Set Navigation**
– The shortcuts “Next Change” (⌘↓) and “Previous Change” (⌘↑) support jumping across files, allowing you to fully review the entire change set with just a few shortcuts.

– Initial adaptation to macOS Golden Gate (27.0 Beta), with issues reported for feedback.
