+- Unsaved edits in Settings are not synchronized. After a successful **Download remote**, the open Settings window refreshes automatically and keeps the selected tab. The download confirmation warns that unsaved edits will be discarded.
-  the existing stale-editor check prevents an old Settings window overwriting downloaded changes.
+- The status distinguishes downloading, downloaded settings, no local changes and failure. HTTP 400 errors identify authentication, download or upload; field errors remain visible until the next action.
 
 Once connected, the resident checks at startup, every **10 minutes**, and about two seconds after saving settings, on a separate
 network thread. Errors back off for 15 minutes; the Sync button allows a manual retry. Local use

 # Latest Windows release
 
-## v0.6.58 — 2026-11-06
+## v0.6.59 — 2026-11-09
 
 ## Changes
-- Keep trusted TCP input listeners and connections alive across missing discovery announcements. Retain the last known address for reconnection; authenticate incoming trusted peers even before discovery sees their address.
+- Show clear download/upload progress and results, including the server version, applied changes or unchanged local settings. Preserve action errors instead of replacing them with an older status.
-- Show saved pairing separately from actual input connectivity: connected, disabled here, offline or not connected. Background identity verification does not flash the list.
+- Identify OpenBao HTTP 400 failures as authentication, download or write failures instead of labeling every failure as a rejected write. Failed downloads do not apply remote settings.
-- Log TCP listener failures with the Windows error and peer connection state changes for troubleshooting.
+- Refresh the already-open Settings window after a successful Download remote, preserving its selected tab. This also works if the Sync dialog was closed while the request was running. Confirmation explains that unsaved Settings edits will be discarded.
+- Retain all v0.6.58 LAN, clipboard, screenshot, snippet and chat-profile behavior. No sync schema or compatibility change.
 
 ## Validation
-Passed: 205 LAN input checks (including missed discovery and authentication before discovery), 289 clipboard transfer, 43 pairing, 829 settings/chat UI, 570 input, 341 native, 126 sync and 5 settings-save merge checks; dictionary equivalence for 140,939 words; wheel, StayHere, Utilities, screenshot UI/save/registration, 54 updater checks and updater progress. LAN remains experimental; three physical PCs have not been verified together.
+Passed: 132 sync, 571 input/UI, 341 native, 829 chat-profile/UI, 205 LAN input, 289 LAN clipboard, 43 LAN pairing and 5 settings-save merge checks; dictionary equivalence for 140,939 words; wheel, StayHere, Utilities, screenshot UI/save/registration, 54 updater checks and updater progress. Regression tests use an isolated mock OpenBao transport, not a live user account.
-
-Update both PCs to receive these fixes. Preserve each PC's own data directory and pairing identity. Input protocol v2 remains compatible with v0.6.57. A changed instance ID requires pairing again. The computer list refreshes automatically once per second while open.
 
 ## Upgrade and compatibility
 Choose **Update** in the tray menu. Legacy v0.3.0–v0.4.1 clients first receive the v0.4.2 compatibility bridge, then the current full release. v0.2.3 and earlier require manual installation.
