+# Session 016 — Core Controls Alignment Release 1.1.862
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-01 12:52 CEST
+**Branch:** main
+**Version:** 1.1.862
+
+---
+
+# 1. Work Done in This Session
+
+## Work summary
+- Vertically aligned the `Restart Core` button and the adjacent restart-status pill in `Settings -> General -> Core Controls` so both controls share the same height and center line.
+- Synchronized release-facing documents for `1.1.862` to reflect the Core Controls layout polish.
+- Completed `./scripts/build-all.sh` and `./scripts/build-release.sh --use-current-version`; packaged the new VSIX and fresh runtime tarballs successfully.
+
+## Git commits
+- `c8960313 fix(ui): align core controls feedback row`
+- `8ad628ea build(release): assemble aligned core controls release`

+# 2. Instructions for Next Session
+
+## Required documents to review before work
+1. `doc/SolidWorks-WorkFlow/README.md`
+2. `doc/SolidWorks-WorkFlow/Docs_Index.md`
+3. `doc/SolidWorks-WorkFlow/System/SystemArchitecture.md`
+4. `doc/TODO/todo-plan.md`
+5. `doc/Sessions/Session016.md` (THIS REPORT)
+
+> Then open the relevant documents from `doc/SolidWorks-WorkFlow/Clusters/`, `doc/SolidWorks-WorkFlow/Modules/`, and `doc/SolidWorks-WorkFlow/Contracts/` for the next task.
+
+## Plans for next session
+- Validate release `1.1.862` in the installed extension and confirm the Core Controls row looks balanced across idle, hover, pressed, and busy states.
+- If the next Settings task changes runtime behavior rather than presentation only, start with a planning document in `doc/SolidWorks-WorkFlow/Plans/` before cutting a new `doc/TODO/todo-plan.md`.
