v0.5.5

Released: 2026-04-10

Cancel connecting — connection progress notification is now cancellable; click Cancel to abort without waiting for the 15-second timeout
Python setup progress — first-time users see “Setting up Python environment (one-time setup)…” instead of generic “Connecting…” while dependencies install
Rescan command — new LogScope: Rescan Devices command performs a lightweight device rescan without reopening the full guided connect wizard. Error card “Rescan” button now uses this
Forget Device — new sidebar action (trash icon) clears saved device/port settings, returning the sidebar to the clean welcome view
Empty state message — webview shows “No log data yet. Connect a device…” when no data is present
ARIA accessibility — aria-pressed on severity toggle buttons, aria-label on error dismiss button, aria-haspopup/aria-expanded/role attributes on module picker dropdown

Webview ready handshake — replaced hardcoded 150ms setTimeout delays with an event-based ready signal. The webview posts a “ready” message when loaded, and the extension queues state updates until ready. Eliminates race conditions on slow machines
Step counter numbers — guided connect flow now shows correct “Step X of 4” for all transports (was showing wrong totals for UART and RTT flows)
Status bar connecting state — shows spinning “LogScope: Connecting…” indicator during connection attempts
Connection progress — connect flow wrapped in vscode.window.withProgress notification
Export button always visible — export action in sidebar is now shown even when disconnected (data may still be in the ring buffer)
UART transport logging — routed through logger.ts output channel instead of raw console.log

connectInFlight feedback — shows “Connection already in progress” message instead of silently ignoring duplicate connect attempts
userDisconnecting race condition — replaced 100ms setTimeout with synchronous flag reset after disconnect, preventing false “Connection lost” messages after intentional disconnects
