chore(release): prepare 0.24.0-beta.1

[benvinegar]

Summary

Prepare 0.24.0-beta.1 from current main, including #1186's documentation, CLI help, and bundled-skill corrections. The maintainer explicitly approved shipping the known navigation performance tradeoff after attempts to fix it were unsuccessful.

• Generate package version, lockfile, canonical changelog, and Changesets beta state without incrementing to beta.2.
• Include binary-file navigation (fix(ui): keep binary files reachable by file navigation and clicks #1178), invalid-patch rejection (fix(cli): reject unrecognized nonempty patch input #1183), clearer empty reviews (fix(ui): distinguish empty reviews from filtered files #1182), sidebar tracking under held navigation/resizing (fix(ui): keep the selected file visible in the sidebar during held navigation #1085), and documentation/help corrections (docs: correct stale facts and fill gaps across hunk.dev docs #1186).
• Refresh the release benchmark on Bun 1.4.2 / Linux x64 and record the accepted navigation regression in its acceptedRegressions audit trail.
• Preserve the shared 0.24 editorial summary and published beta.0 page. The beta.1 changelog entry remains unpublished until tagging.

Accepted performance tradeoff

interaction-latency/hunk_nav_press_p95_ms regressed against beta.0. The earlier snapshot measured 36.35 → 42.33 ms (+5.98 ms, +16.5%); 16 alternating controlled runs each measured conventional medians of 36.86 ms (beta.0) and 43.20 ms (beta.1). A 16-run recheck immediately before #1085 measured 34.93 ms using the benchmark runner's percentile aggregation, implicating sidebar follow as the likely source.

The maintainer approved proceeding with the release, retaining correct sidebar following during held navigation and resize. This is a recorded exception, not a claim that the slowdown disappeared. No unrelated regression is accepted.

Validation

Final release tip 74b1faa8 passed all PR CI, including full PTY integration, Linux validation/packaging, Windows compatibility, compiled headless portability on macOS/Windows, Nix packaging, and website validation.

Fresh five-sample benchmark comparisons pass against stable 0.23.0 (58 existing gated metrics) and beta.0 (61 passing metrics plus the one explicitly accepted navigation exception). The final snapshot measures navigation p95 at 44.55 ms versus beta.0's 36.35 ms; no other metric is waived.

Fresh local validation passed typecheck, lint, formatting, dependency boundaries, generated docs/changelog checks, default tests, TTY smoke, Node broker and review conformance, prebuilt build/packaging, and global-install smoke. The local PTY suite again passed 263 tests, with one platform skip and the same existing comment-target failure documented on beta.0; the full refreshed PTY suite passed in CI.

All 16 Firecracker installation compatibility scenarios passed from the clean final commit. validate-release-result.ts verified the complete evidence against source identity 3995421b3c52a10a29144dd88881648db8c161399e0b76ce0df6cb7429b3a064.

Publication will use npm beta and GitHub prerelease status, leaving stable latest unchanged.
