  ### 🚀 What's New in v1.4.1
  
  **🩹 New: Medkit Theme** — Brand-new playful skin with peachy gradients, doodles, pill buttons, and chunky neobrutalism shadows. Independent toggle in the header.
  
  **Reliability Fixes 🔧**
  - 💬 **Comments Open Again** — Reddit's anti-bot pipeline no longer blocks the modal; typed errors + "Open on Reddit" fallback.
  - 🔍 **Search Hardened** — `raw_json=1`, JSON content-type validation, no empty-result cache poisoning.
  - 🔒 **Encryption Actually Works** — Saved-post AES-GCM (256-bit) was silently failing; now generated via Web Crypto and stored as JWK with automatic migration.
  - 🛡️ **Rate-Limit Aware** — Popup waits or warns instead of hammering Reddit.
  
  **Bug Fixes 🐛**
  - 📌 Pinned posts visible in every theme
  - 🌓 Dark-mode tab labels readable on hover
  - 📝 Metadata `u/author • r/sub` legible everywhere
  - 🎚️ Filter dropdowns no longer clip in medkit
