Every version, every change.

Added

• New app icon variants: iOS 18 dark-mode icon (golden mic on warm charcoal) and tinted (monochrome) silhouette to complement the sage-green default
• Dynamic Island — Recording timer: live elapsed time and waveform render in the compact pill, expanded view, and Lock Screen banner while you record. Counts up past the 42-second soft target so you can speak as long as you need
• Dynamic Island — Star birth: a brief celebratory Live Activity ("A new star appeared in your sky") fires the moment an entry saves, then auto-dismisses
• Dynamic Island — Streak tracker (opt-in): pin your current ★ Day N streak to the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen. Enable from Settings → Live Activities; ends automatically if the streak breaks or you toggle off
• Constellation Lock Screen widget: Canvas-rendered mini constellation, one star per recent entry, coloured by mood. Available as accessoryRectangular, accessoryCircular, and accessoryInline
• New LiveActivityManager centralises all ActivityKit lifecycle (start / throttled updates at 2 Hz / end / auth checks)

Changed

• Recording copy softened from "Speak for 42 seconds" to "42 seconds — or longer" / "as long as you need" in TodayView, DigitalTwinView, and ConstellationView. The recording timer never had a hard cap; this aligns the framing with reality
