What's New in v0.8.2

A targeted fix for the BROWSER environment variable handling introduced in v0.8.1. The devcontainer browser-opening feature now works correctly on macOS and WSL.

BROWSER Environment Variable Fix

v0.8.1 added support for the standard BROWSER environment variable so devcontainer users get automatic browser opening without any Plannotator-specific configuration. However, the implementation treated BROWSER the same as PLANNOTATOR_BROWSER across all platforms — which broke on macOS (where open -a expects an application name, not a script path) and WSL (where cmd.exe /c start can't execute Linux paths).

PLANNOTATOR_BROWSER and BROWSER now have distinct semantics. PLANNOTATOR_BROWSER is a platform-native application reference: an app name for open -a on macOS, a Windows executable for cmd.exe /c start on WSL. BROWSER is always executed directly as $BROWSER <url>, matching the Unix convention that VS Code and other tools expect.
