+---
 
-* fix: build issue (#17) ([05bfe40](https://github.com/slverma/REST-Lab/commit/05bfe40)), closes [#17](https://github.com/slverma/REST-Lab/issues/17)
+## [Unreleased]
 
-## <small>1.5.2 (2026-05-18)</small>
+### Added
 
-* fix: deployment issue (#15) ([1138d19](https://github.com/slverma/REST-Lab/commit/1138d19)), closes [#15](https://github.com/slverma/REST-Lab/issues/15)
+#### First Launch Seed
 
-## <small>1.5.1 (2026-05-18)</small>
+- **Example collection on first install** — REST Lab now seeds a "JSONPlaceholder Examples" collection with pre-built requests on first launch
+  - Includes common endpoints: GET users, GET posts, POST post, PUT post, DELETE post
+  - Seed is transactional: automatically rolls back all `globalState` writes if any step fails
+  - Runs only once — skipped if any collections already exist
 
-* fix: include dist/ in vsix package by overriding .gitignore (#14) ([86f765e](https://github.com/slverma/REST-Lab/commit/86f765e)), closes [#14](https://github.com/slverma/REST-Lab/issues/14)
+### Changed
 
-## 1.5.0 (2026-05-17)
+#### Fluid Layout
 
-* feat: add cookie support for requests and responses (#13) ([8486f6b](https://github.com/slverma/REST-Lab/commit/8486f6b)), closes [#13](https://github.com/slverma/REST-Lab/issues/13)
+- **Fluid spacing and typography tokens** — Added `--rl-*` CSS custom properties for viewport-responsive sizing throughout the request editor
+  - Replaced fixed `px`-based font-shrink media query overrides with continuous fluid scaling
+  - Applied to request bar controls, key-value rows, and the response section
+- **Scrollable tab strip with fade edges** — Tab strip now scrolls horizontally when tabs overflow, with fade-out indicators on both ends signalling hidden content
+- **Fluid URL input** — URL bar grows vertically with content (`min-height` + vertical padding via `useAutoGrow`)
 
-## 1.4.0 (2026-05-17)
+#### Sidebar CSS Rewrite
 
-* feat: add Basic Auth and API Key authentication types and fix action pipeline (#12) ([228bc6c](https://github.com/slverma/REST-Lab/commit/228bc6c)), closes [#12](https://github.com/slverma/REST-Lab/issues/12)
+- **Custom `sidebar.css`** — Replaced all Tailwind utility classes in the sidebar bundle with semantic, maintainable CSS
+  - `FolderActionsDropdown`, `ImportDropdown`, `RequestActionsDropdown`, `Sidebar.tsx` — Tailwind utility strings fully removed
+  - Sidebar bundle now loads `sidebar.css` exclusively with no Tailwind dependency
