fix(share): terminal scrollback for large output

Render with pyte.HistoryScreen and show scrollback + screen, so large output
(ls -la, cat, etc.) can be scrolled up to read. Auto-scroll to the bottom only
when already at the bottom; preserve position when the user has scrolled up.

+## [0.7.3] - 2026-05-21
+### Fixed
+- Shared terminal now has **scrollback** — large output (e.g. `ls -la`) can be scrolled up to
+  read; it keeps a history buffer and only auto-scrolls to the bottom when you're already there.
+
+## [0.7.2] - 2026-05-21
+### Changed
+- Removed the GUI **Inventory** tab — use the CLI `rigdoctor inventory` instead. (Inventory is
+  still collected for the relay guest view, so a remote helper still sees the host's hardware.)
+### Fixed
+- Shared terminal caret now sits at the real cursor position (row **and** column) instead of
+  the start of the line.
+
+## [0.7.1] - 2026-05-21
+### Fixed
+- Shared terminal: a guest who joined **after** the host enabled the terminal stayed read-only.
+  The host now re-sends the terminal state when a guest joins, so the terminal is available.
+- Inventory page no longer jumps back to the top when it refreshes (e.g. when elevated data
+  arrives) — scroll position is preserved and unchanged data isn't re-rendered.
+- Shared terminal now follows the cursor to the bottom as output arrives (e.g. `ls -la`),
+  instead of staying scrolled up.
+
+## [0.7.0] - 2026-05-21
+### Added
+- **Shared terminal (M12, Tier 3)**: when the host enables it, the session shares a real **PTY**
+  shell — the guest gets an interactive terminal (vim, top, tab-completion, Ctrl-C) running on
+  the host as the host's user. The host **reads along** live and can type too, e.g. a `sudo`
+  password — which stays local and is never sent to the guest. Off by default, host-consented.
+  The guest also pulls the host's inventory on join.
+### Fixed
+- **Input contrast**: all form controls (text fields, spin boxes, combo boxes, terminals) now
+  use the dark theme with readable text (Fusion defaulted them to light-on-light).
+
+## [0.6.0] - 2026-05-21
+### Added
+- **Session sharing over the relay (M12)**: a **Share** tab — *Start shared session* (host)
+  hands you a short code and streams a read-only live view; *Enter share code* (guest) joins
+  someone else's session and views their sensors/health/inventory. Both connect outbound over
+  WebSocket to the relay (`relay_url`, default `wss://rigdoctor.jesseyvanofferen.com`), gated
+  by your Gitea access token — no port forwarding. Read-only.
+
+## [0.5.0] - 2026-05-21
+### Added
+- **Session sharing (M12, Tier 2)**: `rigdoctor share serve` starts a **read-only** live view
+  (sensors auto-refresh + health report + inventory) over a local HTTP server, gated by a
+  random share token. Bind to localhost for local testing, or to all interfaces behind a
+  user-chosen tunnel (Tailscale/cloudflared/SSH) for remote help. No actions, no terminal.
+  (Tier 1 export and Tier 3 gated terminal still to come — D16.)
+
+## [0.4.1] - 2026-05-21
+### Fixed
+- Checkbox contrast: a checked checkbox is now a clear accent-filled box with a checkmark
+  (was hard to tell checked from unchecked on the dark theme).
+
+## [0.4.0] - 2026-05-21
+### Added
+- **Alerts (M8)**: desktop notifications (via `notify-send`) for **overheat** (GPU/CPU past a
+  threshold), **GPU-lost** (nvidia-smi timeout), and a **new version available** (fired once
+  per version). Edge-triggered with a cooldown so it doesn't spam. Degrades gracefully if
+  `notify-send` isn't installed.
+- **Notifications page**: configure alerts (enable/disable, GPU/CPU temperature thresholds)
+  with a "Send test" button; changes apply live and persist to `config.toml`.
+- **App icon**: ships a RigDoctor icon and shows it in the dock/launcher. The GUI
+  **self-registers** the icon + `.desktop` on launch (and sets the Wayland app-id), so a
+  self-update + relaunch picks it up — no need to re-run the installer.
+
+## [0.3.2] - 2026-05-21
+### Changed
+- Replaced the per-page "Run with admin" buttons with a **single password prompt at launch**
+  (`pkexec`): the GUI collects root-only data (SMART + dmidecode board/BIOS/RAM) once and
+  caches it for the session, so Health and Inventory always show the full picture. Falls back
+  to non-root if cancelled/unavailable; disable via `elevate_on_launch = false`.
+
+## [0.3.1] - 2026-05-21
+### Fixed
+- Changelog/release notes now **render Markdown** instead of showing raw `#`/`**` markup —
+  the in-app changelog uses `QTextEdit.setMarkdown()` and the update prompt renders notes as
+  rich text (closes #1).
+
+## [0.3.0] - 2026-05-21
+### Added
+- **System inventory (M5)**: CPU, GPU (model/driver/VBIOS/VRAM/PCIe), motherboard/BIOS, RAM
+  (total + modules), storage, kernel, and display server. CLI `rigdoctor inventory`
+  (`--json` / `--markdown` / `--output`) and a GUI **Inventory** tab with Copy-as-Markdown,
+  Save, and "Run with admin" (for `dmidecode` board/BIOS/RAM details). Fills the last GUI tab.
+
+## [0.2.0] - 2026-05-21
+### Added
+- **"Check for updates" button** in the sidebar — force an immediate version check instead of
+  waiting for the 30-minute poll.
+
+## [0.1.1] - 2026-05-21
+### Fixed
+- Dialogs (the update prompt and changelog) were light-on-light and unreadable — they now use
+  the dark theme with readable text.
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-05-21
+_First milestone release — a complete, installable, self-updating RigDoctor: live monitoring,
+crash capture + health report, desktop GUI, user-local install/uninstall, and updates._
+### Added
+- **In-app uninstaller**: "Uninstall RigDoctor" button on the Setup page (and
+  `rigdoctor uninstall [--purge]`) — removes the venv, launchers, and desktop entry, with an
+  option to also wipe settings/token/logs. Runs detached so it can delete its own venv.
+- **In-app changelog**: a "Changelog" link in the sidebar opens the release history (tags +
+  notes) fetched from the update server.
+
+## [0.0.10] - 2026-05-21
+### Added
+- **"Restart now" button** after a successful in-app update — relaunches RigDoctor for you
+  instead of asking you to restart manually.
+- **Real release notes**: CI now sets each Gitea release's body from the matching CHANGELOG
+  section (instead of "Automated release for…"), and the updater shows **"What's new"** — a
+  notes dialog before applying (GUI) and in `rigdoctor update` (CLI).
+### Changed
+- Setup page / `rigdoctor install`: dropped internal module references (M4, M5, …) from the
+  component descriptions — end users don't need them.
+- Adopting **Conventional Commits** + **git-cliff** (`cliff.toml`, `packaging/changelog.sh`)
+  to generate CHANGELOG entries from commit history going forward (D20).
+### Fixed
+- The self-extracting **`.run` installer** is now built **without makeself** (a pure-Python
+  self-extractor, `packaging/make_run.py`), so it reliably attaches to every release — it was
+  silently skipped before because the CI runner couldn't install makeself.
+
+## [0.0.8] - 2026-05-21
+### Added
+- **Periodic update checks**: the GUI now re-checks for new releases while running (every
+  `update_check_minutes`, default 30; 0 disables), so a newly published version is detected
+  without restarting. After applying an update, re-checks stop until restart.
+- **"Run with admin" on the Health page**: runs all checks (including root-only SMART) via
+  `pkexec rigdoctor report --json`, so the full report — not just "SMART needs root" — is
+  available from the UI.
+
 ## [0.0.7] - 2026-05-21

+- *CI does not auto-commit the changelog* (avoids push loops) — it's regenerated by the dev
+  via the script when cutting a version; CI only reads the section for the release body.
+
+### D21 — Versioning rules & automation — *DECIDED 2026-05-21*
+The next version is **determined by the Conventional Commit types** since the last release
+(D20), so it can be auto-computed instead of guessed:
+- `fix:` / `perf:` → bump **PATCH**.
+- `feat:` → bump **MINOR** (pre-1.0: `0.MINOR.0`).
+- breaking (`feat!:` / `BREAKING CHANGE:`) → pre-1.0: bump **MINOR** (not major); post-1.0: MAJOR.
+- `docs:` / `chore:` / `refactor:` / `ci:` / `test:` / `style:` alone → **PATCH** (no feature release).
+- Milestone overrides by hand are allowed (e.g., jumping to `1.0.0`); see the milestone policy in D19.
+
+*Automation:* `git-cliff --bumped-version` computes the next version from history;
+`packaging/bump.sh` writes it into `__init__.py` + `pyproject.toml`. Rules live in
+`cliff.toml [bump]` (pre-1.0: `breaking_always_bump_major = false`).
