# Introducing Branch Review

Review all changes on your branch before opening a PR. Includes smart branch selector, merge conflict detection, and one-click applied suggestions.

## Branch Review: Analyze Entire Pull Requests

You can now review all changes on your current branch compared to a target branch like `main` or `develop`. Get a full AI-powered review of your feature or bug fix before opening a pull request.

### What's new

- **Local Changes Review:** Analyze any unstaged changes before committing.
- **Branch Changes Tab:** Switch between local uncommitted changes and all changes on your current branch.
- **Smart Branch Selector:** Searchable dropdown for quickly selecting any remote branch. We auto-detect your repository's default base branch (`origin/main`, `origin/master`, etc.) for a faster start.
- **Merge Conflict Detection:** Get instant alerts when your branch conflicts with the target branch.
- **Apply Suggested Code Changes:** Apply Optibot's inline suggestions directly to your code with one click.

## Improvements

### More Readable, More Helpful Review Comments

Review comments now support full Markdown formatting — including bold text, lists, code blocks, and italics — making suggestions clearer and easier to digest.

### UI & Quality-of-Life Enhancements

- **File Status Indicators:** Every file now shows a status label (`A`, `M`, `D`) with color-coding for quick scanning.
- **Cursor Editor Support:** Official support added for Cursor users.
- **Auto-Collapsing File List:** After a review completes, the file list collapses automatically so the AI feedback takes center stage. Expand anytime.
- **Clearer Error & Upgrade Notifications:** Subscription and rate-limit messages have been redesigned to be clearer and more actionable.

## Bug Fixes

- **Improved File Detection:** Better detection of all changed files in your workspace, including newly added untracked files that were sometimes missed.
- **More Reliable Git Initialization:** The extension now waits for Git to fully load when opening a new window, preventing missing file lists on startup.
- **Cleaner Login Messaging:** The login success message has been simplified for a smoother flow.
