fix(share): terminal caret position; remove GUI Inventory tab (use CLI)

- The shared terminal caret now sits at the real cursor (row and column) instead
  of the start of the line.
- Remove the GUI Inventory tab; `rigdoctor inventory` (CLI) covers it. Inventory is
  still collected for the relay guest view (so a remote helper sees the host's
  hardware) and via launch elevation. Deletes gui/inventory_page.py.

@@ -5,6 +5,92 @@ All notable changes to RigDoctor are recorded here. Format follows
 (`MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`, pre-1.0). `__version__` and `pyproject.toml` must match the git
 release tag (so the auto-updater, D18, can compare versions).
 
+## [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
