   Text conversion cycles skip layouts that leave the text unchanged and use the next enabled layout

 - Selection conversion and verified recent input (physical scan codes, 2-second typing-run boundary).
 - Same-process clipboard ownership plus verified WebView2 descendants, including the Teams fix.
 - Teams recent-word conversion uses a single word-selection command and validates the copied range.

 # Latest Windows release
 
-## v0.6.21 — 2026-10-31
+## v0.6.22 — 2026-10-31
 
 ## Changes
-- Next layout skips enabled layouts that leave the text unchanged and selects the next layout that changes it. Shared Russian/Ukrainian text such as `рф` and `шььш` becomes `ha` and `immi` when English follows in the cycle.
-- Configured order is preserved. If no enabled convertible layout changes the text, it remains unchanged and the operation advances one layout. Direct layout shortcuts retain their existing behavior.
+- Recover partial selections during recent-text conversion, repeat conversion and undo: when copying returns a verified suffix of the expected text, extend the selection with paced Shift+Left presses and copy again. Replacement still requires a complete verified match.
+- Recent-text suffix checks map physical keys through convertible layouts, including Cyrillic and mixed case. This covers reported suffixes such as `Switcher ` from `PuntoSwitcher `, `зштп ` from the layout equivalent of `snipping `, and `лувШт ` from `LinkedIn `.
+- Diagnostic context records the expected previous result and selection-recovery stages. Unrelated or empty copied ranges are not extended; input/context changes still cancel replacement.
 
 ## Validation
-Passed 413 native regressions, 473 input/UI checks, screenshot editor UI, notification registration, 48 updater checks and updater progress checks.
+419 native regressions, 473 input/UI checks, screenshot editor UI, notification registration, 48 updater checks and updater progress checks passed, including Cyrillic and mixed-case suffix verification. The isolated editor integration test passed partial-selection recovery, the `PuntoSwitcher ` repeat-conversion case, clipboard restoration and rejection of unrelated text. Direct validation in LinkedIn and ChatGPT is still outstanding; native-editor tests do not establish browser-editor compatibility.
 
 ## Limitations
-Existing clipboard, accessibility and input-context verification limitations remain. Copy retries and paste readback verification are unchanged.
+Recovery is attempted once and still depends on the editor processing simulated selection keys. A failed full-text check cancels replacement. Existing clipboard, accessibility and input-context restrictions remain; this patch does not change paste readback verification.
 
 **Upgrade:** 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.
 For manual installation, exit KSwitcher, close screenshot editors and extract the entire ZIP into its installation folder. Keep personal `data/` and customized dictionaries.
