+## [1.14.10] — 2026-07-09
+
+### Added
+- **Passage/Thinking panels in audiobook casting's live view are now resizable** — drag the bottom-right corner of either box to read more comfortably.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Character-list collapse chevron pointed the wrong way** — it showed the direction opposite to where the panel edge actually moves. Now expanded shows → (collapsing moves the edge right) and collapsed shows ← (expanding moves it left).

 ## [1.14.9] — 2026-07-09
 
 ### Fixed
