### Added

- **Create Node flow** — new consolidated node creation experience in Roam
- **Canvas: paste references into canvas** — paste block or page references directly into the canvas

- **Node colors in settings** — show node colors for nodes via settings
- **Create Node command** - add a dedicated discourse node creation command in Roam
- **Canvas clipboard awareness** - show or hide nodes that are already on the canvas and support formalizing candidate nodes directly from canvas embeds
- **Real-time canvas migration** - add an explicit sync mode and migration path from local canvases to real-time canvases

### Changed

- **Discourse Context placement** — move context panel to top of discourse node pages
- **Left sidebar** - allow adding blocks to custom favorites in the sidebar
- **Stored relations settings** - move stored-relations controls into Personal Settings and make the migration flow more user-facing
- **Canvas relations** - improve relation-arrow labeling and keep the relation tool flow active after creating a relation
- **Canvas refresh** - update canvas node titles when source page titles change
- **Query Builder** - improve DNP detection and support `is in canvas` for newer canvas schemas

### Fixed

- **Canvas stability** - fix multiple canvas loading and runtime errors, including old canvases failing to open and asset metadata crashes
- **Create Node flow** - fix node-type mismatches, focus-jump issues, unbounded search results, and incorrect `@source` title handling
- **Canvas tools** - fix tool-lock behavior for the discourse tool
- **Performance** - fix a slow sync or query regression caused by discourse-node change detection
- **Query Builder** - fix column layout preferences not being preserved
- **Release build** - fix the official deployment build missing required database environment variables
- **Canvas titles** - fix incorrect auto-generated page titles when a canvas is opened in the right sidebar
