 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-01-04 - 3.6.0 - feat(sidebar)
+restructure sidebar layout, add search clear button, and improve scrolling behavior
+
+- Change sidebar root to a flex column layout and add a .sidebar-header to separate header content from the scrollable menu
+- Move pinned section into the header and make .menu flex: 1 with min-height: 0 so the menu becomes the scrollable area
+- Replace overflow-y on the root with overflow:hidden to avoid double scrolling and constrain scrolling to .menu
+- Add a clear button for the search input (.search-clear) with positioning, hover styles, and a clearSearch() method to reset the query and emit searchChanged
+- Adjust search input padding and make .search-container position: relative to correctly position the clear button
+
+## 2026-01-04 - 3.5.3 - fix(deps)
+bump dependency versions: @design.estate/dees-domtools to ^2.3.7, @design.estate/dees-element to ^2.1.5, lit to ^3.3.2; update devDependencies @api.global/typedserver to ^8.1.0 and @git.zone/tstest to ^3.1.4
+
+- Updated runtime dependencies: @design.estate/dees-domtools ^2.3.7, @design.estate/dees-element ^2.1.5, lit ^3.3.2.
+- Updated devDependencies: @api.global/typedserver ^8.1.0 (major bump), @git.zone/tstest ^3.1.4.
+- @api.global/typedserver major bump affects development tooling only (devDependency), not runtime API.
+- Current package version is 3.5.2; recommend a patch release to 3.5.3.
+
 ## 2026-01-04 - 3.5.2 - fix(elements)
 delay hiding sidebar and properties panels during native-mode transition and use transparent rgba border for frame to avoid layout jumps
