From the release reviews of 1.1.1 (2026-11-10). Not part of 1.1.1; planned for 1.2.0 unless said otherwise.

Messages

The update check and "Sync all stopped" show an exception's own text. For the update check: "Could not reach git.kof22.com to check for updates. The latest release is at https://git.kof22.com/KofTwentyTwo/gclo/releases."
Rows that were never synced, and rows that are not selected, read "Queued"; the filter tab calls them "Pending".
One setting has three names: "Parallel clones", "Parallel clones and pulls", "Default parallelism".

Resolve paths dialog

Each row's rename box has no accessible name and every checkbox is only "Skip": name them for their path.
The close button "Skip this repo" means Cancel.
An active column filter in the table is shown by tint only.

Navigation pane

Edit and Delete stay available while that account syncs; saving or deleting cancels the sync without saying so.
"Sync all" turns into "Cancel sync all" in place, so a double-click starts and cancels.
With no token, the organization box of an account's page shows its placeholder although the account has an organization.

Command line

A usage error in a subcommand points to gclo --help instead of that command's help.
A missing --token-file prints the path twice, with the runtime's own text.
gclo accounts --help does not list exit code 1 (Ctrl+C).

Reaching the project

Help > Submit an issue and the CLI's "please report it" line lead to a sign-in page for people without an account on git.kof22.com (registration is closed).

More from the second pass of the release reviews, also not urgent:

A Sync all pass in which every account was skipped (busy, canceled in its own page, nothing selected) ends with the success icon, although its text says "0 of N accounts synced". An outcome between success and failure would fit.
In the pane, an account that could not be synced shows the count badge when it still has failed rows from an earlier run; the two meanings of a failed account are told apart in the shell, and a state of its own would keep that in the view model.
A repository named as git's own folder fails its row in the sync, but on the path where names are resolved for a caller-supplied list the message of an unusable name ends in "(Parameter 'repoName')".

feat(app): the Add account wizard asks where the repositories are, and can add an account on a Gitea server #207

From the review of #207 (Gitea in the app's wizard), left for later:

ForgeTexts.TokenName / TokenNeeds word every forge that is not GitHub like Gitea, so an account on a forge this version does not know gets Gitea's advice on its (unusable) token step.
UiTestFixture.RepositoriesAt (clone addresses on the Gitea server) is exercised by no UI test: the new wizard test cancels on step 3.
The Share invitation and its subject still say "GitHub organization".
A radio group that reports no selection (-1) is ignored by PlaceIndex, but nothing puts the selection back on the control.
