+## [1.9.7] — 2026-06-27
+
+### Fixed
+- **Voice inspector broken**: `curGender` was referenced before its `const` declaration inside `selectVoice()`, causing a temporal dead zone ReferenceError that silently prevented the inspector from opening. Clicking a voice now correctly opens the detail panel again.
+- **Batch operations ignore selection**: Calc dB, Precompute, and Batch Seeds now operate only on the checked (selected) voices when a selection is active, matching the existing behaviour of Benchmark. Previously all three always ran on all active / visible voices regardless of selection.
