   release; click it to open Qoderian's plugin page, where Obsidian's update
   button lives.
 
+### Changed
+
+- The resize grip above the message input stays hidden until the pointer is
+  inside the input area or the composer has focus, so the input's top edge
+  reads as a plain border while you are reading or scrolling.
+
+### Removed
+
+- The hover tooltip on the message input's resize grip; the resize cursor and
+  the accent highlight while dragging already signal what the grip does.

 ## [1.0.11] - 2026-09-16
 
 ### Added
