-## What's Changed
+## Changes
 
 - Forked threads now open in a new right-sidebar Codex panel instead of replacing the current panel, so the source thread stays visible.
 - Forked threads inherit the source thread's explicit name when one has been set.
 - Codex panel tabs now show the active thread title, falling back to a shortened thread id when needed.
 - `/status` now matches the focused Codex session view: session id, context usage, and usage limits.
 - `/doctor` is now scoped to app-server connection diagnostics.
