+# 🚀 What's New in v2.2.1-alpha - UI Responsiveness & Refactoring
 
 This release marks a major architectural milestone for the library by introducing **Event Object Refactoring**. Key events have been transitioned from passing raw data (strings) to passing full **COM-visible objects**, granting developers absolute control over the application's navigation flow.

+### 2. Event Object Refactoring & API Maturity
 
 We are moving away from "Raw Parameter" callbacks toward an **Object-Oriented Event Model**.
 
 - **Breaking Change**: `OnNavigationStarting` and `OnFrameNavigationStarting` now return an **Args Object**. This change is essential to support bi-directional communication (e.g., AutoIt telling C# to `Cancel = True`).
 
 - **Future-Proofing**: Adding new metadata in future WebView2 updates will no longer break existing user code, as new properties will simply be appended to the existing object.
 
+### 3. UI Responsiveness & Interception-Based Locking (Critical Patch)
+
+Following the initial alpha release, we identified and resolved a critical issue where Developer Tools (F12) and Right-Click menus could become unresponsive after navigation.
+
+- **Interception-Based Locking**: We moved away from toggling engine-level properties (which caused state lag) to a robust **C# Interception Model**. Features are kept "On" at the engine level but are blocked via the `_isLocked` flag in C#, ensuring the "Inspect" menu item never disappears.
+- **C# Fast Path**: Common actions like F12 are now handled instantly within the C# layer, bypassing the AutoIt COM overhead for maximum performance.
+- **Guaranteed Unlock**: Improved the AutoIt navigation functions (`_NetWebView2_Navigate`) to ensure the browser is always unlocked, even if a navigation times out or fails.
