 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-04-02 - 3.50.1 - fix(appdash)
+use banner height CSS variable for terminal layout and expose terminal resize handling
+
+- Removes manual terminal top offset updates in the app dashboard and relies on the shared --banner-area-height CSS variable instead.
+- Drops fixed max-width and max-height calculations so the terminal can size more reliably within its container.
+- Makes the workspace terminal resize handler public to support external resize coordination.
+
 ## 2026-04-02 - 3.50.0 - feat(dees-simple-appdash)
 add global message banners with actions and dismissal support
