- Replace queued IPC listener with latest-value variant for subtitle channels
- Skip JSONC line/block comments in duplicate-key offset helpers
- Preserve configured Anki note model name in selectPreferredNoteFieldModelName
- Guard known-words deck rename against collision; add chooseKnownWordsDeckRenameValue
- Apply asCssColor on hover token CSS compat reads

- Hover token colors migrated to --subtitle-hover-token-color CSS custom properties
- Plugin app-ping now checks result.status (0=running, 1=stopped) to avoid treating transient failures as stopped
- Note-fields note type picker defaults to configured deck's note type before falling back to Kiku/Lapis
- New migration for legacy ankiConnect N+1 config paths

- ankiConnect.nPlusOne.enabled gates known-word cache independently of knownWords.highlightEnabled

- Add click-to-learn keybinding controls

CI runners don't have Claude Code installed, so the regen step in the
prerelease workflow died on 'claude CLI not found'. Mirror the stable
release model: generate prerelease-notes.md locally (claude -p), commit
it, and have CI just verify and reference the committed file.
