 <li>Simplify update progress dispatch — remove redundant <code>Application.Invoke</code> wrappers around progress updates that are already called from the UI thread (introduced while fixing the freeze above)</li>
 <li>Fix cursor position being reset to the start of the line when auto-completing commands in the CLI app — insertion point is now moved to the end of the completed text</li>
 <li>Fix notification sounds crashing or being silently dropped when several arrive in quick succession — playback is now serialized through a semaphore that's held for the duration of each sound (using <code>PlaybackFinished</code> with a 10s safety timeout) and always released in <code>finally</code>, so back-to-back notifications queue up and play in order instead of racing the underlying audio player (fixes #20)</li>
+<li>Fix client crashing on startup with <code>No Serilog:Using configuration section is defined</code> under single-file publish — pass <code>ConfigurationReaderOptions</code> with the <code>Serilog.Sinks.File</code> assembly explicitly so Serilog can resolve sinks without scanning the filesystem for <code>.dll</code>s (which don't exist in a bundled exe)</li>

-    "summary": "v0.2.10 Follow-up patch release for v0.2.9 addressing auto-updater regressions, adding a command palette, infinite-scroll message history, and input polish. New Features Command palette — press Ctrl+K from the message input (or anywhere in the main window) to open a searchable dialog for navigating channels and triggering app actions (connect, disconnect, logout, profile, status, create/delete channel, saved servers, toggle users panel, check for updates, quit). Fuzzy matches against both the label and the underlying key so typing ch surfaces channel actions alongside #channel entries Scroll-to-load message history — scrolling to the top of a channel now fetches the next batch of older messages in the background (previously only the most recent 100 messages were available). Duplicate messages are filtered by ID, a per-channel guard prevents concurrent fetches, and the scroll position is preserved after the prepend so your reading position doesn't jump Bug Fixes Fix update progress dialog freezing / not repainting — progress callbacks now run on the UI thread so the download and extraction percentage actually updates while an update is in progress Fix pre-update backup failing when a Serilog-held log file is locked — UpdateBackupService now enumerates files manually, skips the logs/ directory and .log files, and logs-and-continues on IOException/UnauthorizedAccessException instead of aborting the whole backup Simplify update progress dispatch — remove redundant Application.Invoke wrappers around progress updates that are already called from the UI thread (introduced while fixing the freeze above) Fix cursor position being reset to the start of the line when auto-completing commands in the CLI app — insertion point is now moved to the end of the completed text Fix notification sounds crashing or being silently dropped when several arrive in quick succession — playback is now serialized through a semaphore that's held for the duration of each sound (using PlaybackFinished with a 10s safety timeout) and always released in finally, so back-to-back notifications queue up and play in order instead of racing the underlying audio player (fixes #20) Refactoring Move search-dialog dispatch out of MainWindow into AppOrchestrator — MainWindow now just raises OnSearchRequested, keeping the view dumb and letting the orchestrator own navigation/action routing ChatHub.GetChannelHistory and IChatService.GetChannelHistoryAsync gain an additional offset parameter for paginated history loading (defaults to 0 — existing callers are unaffected) ValidationConstants.MaxHistoryCount raised from 100 to 200 so power users and paginated fetches can request larger batches; DefaultHistoryCount stays at 100"
