+Parakeet transcription now loads the Sherpa copy that ships with the CLI when the cached one is broken. Loaded compositions keep their SVG icons, and Studio says so when GSAP cannot load offline.
+
+## Features
+
+- **CLI:** Catch up on what the desktop app did since a project was handed over ([6fe3c2ce9](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/6fe3c2ce94f5d2e926cc7fcf79d3e62f4e68dac7), [#5114](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5114)).
+
+## Fixes
+
+- **Studio:** An offline preview says GSAP could not load instead of an unhandled Event ([5fad52f21](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/5fad52f21d0cb4742245d0b13c012d53c952d7ef), [#5111](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5111)).
+- **Studio Server:** Keep the desktop app's hand-off and chat history out of the file routes ([32516b5a3](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/32516b5a3d7ad1845feaedaaea94334ca38b8853), [#5113](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5113)).
+- **Studio:** Clip #root so programmatic scrolls cannot push the header off-screen ([518694ac6](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/518694ac6689bf0e850e9647b1e426c89d43a051), [#5110](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5110)).
+- **Core:** Preserve SVG icons in loaded compositions ([eff786383](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/eff786383d2383a85648779caa38521377647b1f), [#5096](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5096)).
+- **Studio:** Dragging a Layers row no longer highlights the row names ([8b5b012e5](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/8b5b012e5c0bddbdf1e063f8b2198cc18d68575d), [#5104](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5104)).
+- **CLI:** Use a healthy pinned Sherpa copy beside the CLI ([f6e419eb2](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/f6e419eb29565bbab7840a3c474214eebcbbea7a), [#5095](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5095)).
