# Changelog v0.3.23 - 2026-03-18

### Added
- **Favorites display mode (`Y`)**: Added a global toggle to switch favorites between `pinned + always visible` and `normal rows` (starred only, fully obeying active filters/sort).
- **Favorites mode row in Settings**: Added a dedicated Settings row to inspect/toggle favorites display behavior without leaving the maintenance screen.
- **Expanded command palette action menus**: Added nested menus for Ping Mode (speed/normal/slow/forced with explanations), Target Tool (all supported tools with explanations), and Favorites Mode (including the new `Y` flow).
- **Active text-filter footer alert**: When a custom search filter is active (for example `deep`), the last TUI footer line now shows a high-visibility inline badge (between `N Changelog` and `Ctrl+C Exit`) with the exact query and an `X` shortcut to clear it instantly.

### Changed
- **Favorites sorting/filtering behavior**: Sort/filter logic now respects the selected favorites mode across the table refresh loop, hotkeys, and renderer so non-pinned mode behaves consistently everywhere.
- **Favorites default mode**: New/legacy configs now default to `Normal filter/sort` favorites mode (not pinned) until users press `Y` to opt into pinned+sticky behavior.
- **Footer/help/docs shortcut hints**: Surfaced `Y` in the TUI footer, Help overlay, and README so the new favorites mode is discoverable.
