Unreleased development

Interface redesign, foundations and navigation (not yet merged):

• Navigation Grouped by Work: The sidebar’s Workspace, Production and Intelligence groups, with Intelligence’s two nested subgroups, are replaced by sections named for the work: Create, Documents, Review, Govern and Insights, under Command Center. Brand System, Integrations, Workspace and Settings sit apart under Configure at the foot of the sidebar. Sections collapse and remember their state; Govern and Insights start collapsed, and any section opens automatically when you navigate to a page inside it. Routes and access rules are unchanged.
• Command Palette Reaches Every Destination: The palette kept its own list of pages, which had drifted from the sidebar and omitted Sources, Workflows, Analytics, Integrations and Regulatory Cases. It now reads the same list as the sidebar, in the same groups.
• Readable Default Text Size: The interface was rendered at 90% of the browser’s font size, which shrank body text to about 12.6px and overrode the reader’s own browser setting. It now starts at 100%, and pinch-zoom is no longer disabled on mobile.
• Status Colors Mean One Thing: Warnings, middling quality scores, readiness prompts and near-limit credit usage used the Premium tier’s purple. They now use the warning color, and tier colors appear only where a tier is actually being shown. Success, warning, error, pipeline-status and tier colors are also tuned per theme so they stay legible as text in Light, Dark and WriterzRoom; previously some fell to about 3:1 on the WriterzRoom theme. Primary buttons in the WriterzRoom theme now use a dark label for the same reason, including the older primary buttons on sign-in, settings, checkout, publishing and the marketing pages, which had kept a white label.
• Accessibility Fixes: Collapsed-sidebar links carry their names for screen readers, the current page is announced, the sign-in password toggle and the pricing page’s billing switch are named, call-to-action buttons on the home, solutions and pricing pages are no longer buttons nested inside links, and each page exposes a single main landmark.
• One Icon Family: Every icon in the application now comes from one family (IBM Carbon), mapped by meaning, where it previously mixed a general-purpose set into every page. Sparkle icons that stood for “AI” are replaced by the task they lead to: Studio is a pen, templates a template, brand settings a palette. Provider marks stay genuine: sign-in shows Google’s own mark, and the publish dialog shows each destination’s logo instead of a pencil, briefcase or globe.
• Quieter Surfaces: Cards, panels, buttons and fields no longer carry drop shadows; they share one hairline edge and a small set of corner radii. Shadows remain only on things that float above the page: dialogs, drawers, menus, popovers and tooltips.
• Less Decorative Motion: Lists no longer fade and slide in item by item, cards no longer lift on hover, and arrows no longer nudge. Loading pages show the shape of the page that is coming instead of a spinner. Progress indicators for real work, such as generation, uploads and live status, are unchanged.
• Studio Reorganized Around the Brief: The steps show what you have chosen at each stage. Contexts are a short list with a detail panel and an explicit Continue, instead of a grid that advanced on the first click. The workflow catalog opens as a list with the selected workflow’s full description and its styles beside it; styles say why they are offered rather than showing a bare fit score. The brief puts required inputs first, groups optional sources and advanced settings, and keeps a compact Run settings summary beside it. The run bar names missing inputs and shows the credit cost before you run. Agent activity is one click away instead of always on screen.
• Hidden Context Defaults Now Visible: A context can set a brief field to a value the template does not list (Fintech sets the target audience to financial professionals). That value was applied and submitted but the field looked empty; it is now shown.
• Named Buttons: Twenty-one icon-only delete, close and send buttons across the application now have names screen readers announce.
• Shorter Page Introductions: Pages that opened with two or three sentences of explanation now lead with one line about what the page is for. The full explanation is still there, under About this page.
• Library Excerpts Read as Text: Excerpts taken from a document’s subtitle or stored preview were shown verbatim, so rows displayed HTML tags and Markdown markers. Every excerpt is now plain text.
• Generation, Review and Publication Shown Apart: A single “Completed” badge beside two colored score chips read as “checked and ready”. The Library now has separate Generation, Review and Publication columns, scores as plain numbers with a statement of what they do not check, and one next step per row (Publish, Review, Edit, Open, Restore or Retry). Documents without scores now count as Not scored under Needs review instead of Ready to publish.
• Previews Render the Document: The Library preview showed stored Markdown and HTML as raw text; it now renders the document as it reads, closes with Escape, and returns focus to the row. Publish from the Library opens the document with its destinations already showing.
• One Header for Every Document View: Read, Edit, Regenerate, Versions and Dossier share one header with the document’s title and states and a switcher between them, replacing four different back buttons and a “Go to” list in the editor panel. Switching from Edit saves first; Regenerate asks before discarding unsaved changes, where it previously discarded them silently.
• Document Scores Corrected: The document page multiplied an SEO score already stored out of 100 by 100, so a 55 read as 5500. Scores now read the same on every page.
• Mobile Navigation: The More drawer now keeps keyboard focus inside it and makes the page behind it inert until it closes, and the bottom bar fits 320px-wide screens.

Promotional access and authentication:

• Time-limited beta access: Administrators can issue Starter, Professional, or Enterprise access and an explicit credit allocation to up to 100 recipient emails at once. Existing accounts activate immediately; pre-signup grants attach automatically on the recipient’s first authenticated profile lookup. Grants expire and can be revoked without changing authorization roles or Stripe-owned subscription fields.
• Promotion lifecycle hardened: Unspent promotional credits now survive paid subscription renewals until the grant’s own expiry. Claim, revocation, and account deletion use one lock order; deleted accounts terminate their grant; and an hourly sweep persists expiration and records the lifecycle audit event. Grant timestamps are serialized explicitly as UTC.
• Access and billing stay distinct: Signed-in sessions periodically refresh effective role and tier claims, while the Billing tab continues to show only the Stripe-owned plan. Promotional access is shown separately and never routes a promotion-only user into a nonexistent billing portal.
• Sign-in callback 403 fixed: The MFA middleware now permits only the Auth.js callback and sign-in endpoints required to complete authentication while keeping custom TOTP-management APIs gated. Public authentication pages also stop issuing an unnecessary profile request, removing the paired credentials/profile 403 errors.

UI fixes and cleanup from PR #854; not yet merged:

• Command Center Credits Restored: The dashboard’s assurance-posture redesign dropped the credit-balance display it used to carry. A compact balance indicator is back next to the posture banner, linking into Workspace for the full breakdown (monthly allocation, usage) rather than compressing it into a single misleading ratio.
• Checkbox Double-Toggle Fixed: Learning Controls and the Artifacts page’s Table of Authorities checkbox needed two clicks to register one change. The shared Checkbox component rendered a hidden real input plus a separately-clickable overlay div; wrapping that pair in a <label> made the browser’s native label-click-forwarding fire the hidden input a second time for the same click. The visible box is now the one real, clickable input.
• Low-Information Cards Shrunk: MetricItem — the card behind every MetricStrip in the app, including Verified Claims, Dashboard, and Analytics — carried more padding and a larger value size than a label-plus-number tile needs. The admin Generation Operations page’s own bespoke metric cards were migrated onto the same, now-smaller primitive rather than staying a separate, oversized implementation.
• Sidebar Text Tightened: Nav labels dropped from 14px to 13px with tighter tracking, reducing truncation on longer labels in the expanded rail.
• Revoked Sources Gain a Forward Action: A revoked source’s owner previously had nothing left to do but inspect history. An “Upload a replacement” control and the revocation date are now shown inline, matching the API’s own guidance to replace revoked evidence rather than reuse it.
• Calendar Notes Made Resizable: The Plan Content drawer’s Notes field was fixed at two rows with resizing disabled.
• Publishing Page Deepened: “Platform settings” now deep-links to Settings → Publishing instead of the generic Settings landing tab. The page also gained a connected-platforms glance row and platform/status filters over its job history, and its stat cards moved onto the shared MetricItem primitive.
• Platform Connections Consolidated: Settings → Publishing and Integrations previously ran two separate implementations of the same connect/disconnect flow against the same backend. Settings now renders the same component Integrations does; the older, separate implementation is removed. That shared component also gained a card/list view toggle ahead of a larger platform catalog.

Security and privacy hardening (not yet merged):

• Content-Security-Policy Now Nonce-Based: script-src no longer allows 'unsafe-inline'. The policy is issued per request from middleware with a one-time nonce that the framework scripts, the inline theme script, and the service-worker registration all carry, so an injected inline <script> cannot execute. The public marketing and auth surface also receives a strictly smaller policy than the authenticated app — a logged-out visitor no longer carries the dashboard’s backend, storage, and websocket reach.
• Session Replay Now Consent-Gated: Sentry Session Replay recorded a sample of every visitor’s session — anonymous visitors on public pages included — with no consent check. Recording now begins only after an explicit cookie-banner acceptance; error monitoring, treated as strictly necessary, continues either way. The cookie banner and Privacy page previously claimed “no tracking or analytics cookies,” which was untrue while replay was active; both now describe error monitoring and consented, masked session replay accurately, and Sentry is listed as a subprocessor.
• Closure Readiness Reads as a Checklist: The regulatory case workbench listed outstanding closure blockers as a plain bullet list. Because case closure is irreversible, the outstanding requirements now render as a gated checklist — a remaining-count with a per-requirement marker for each unresolved item, and an explicit “ready for closure review” state when none remain.

Regulatory verification (not yet merged):

• Compliance Deadline Verifier: A new deterministic verifier reconciles a stated compliance deadline against the effective date and period the same document gives for it — an effective date plus a stated compliance period is a computable date, and a deadline that disagrees with it by more than a few days of counting slack is flagged. It reports the check as indeterminate rather than passed when a date is not a real calendar date or a paragraph names more than one period, and it runs in the legal vertical. Like every verifier here, it checks internal consistency, not whether the effective date, the period, or the obligation itself is correct.

Marketing analytics (not yet merged):

• Consent-Gated HubSpot Attribution: HubSpot’s tracking code loads through a consent-gated loader — only after a visitor accepts the cookie banner, never for anonymous or declined visitors — with its portal id and region environment-driven (unset the env var to disable it). A single consent module now governs both HubSpot and Sentry Session Replay; a typed track() event layer fans funnel events out to whatever trackers are loaded; and the Content-Security-Policy allows HubSpot’s script, connect, image, and frame hosts. The cookie banner and Privacy page now disclose product and marketing analytics accurately, with HubSpot listed as a subprocessor.
• Consent-Gated Meta Pixel: Meta Pixel loads through the same consent layer as HubSpot — the base code and fbevents.js are injected only after an explicit cookie-banner acceptance, and a per-request nonce allows the inline stub under the site’s nonce-based CSP. connect.facebook.net and www.facebook.com are added to the CSP’s script-src, connect-src, and img-src. The track() event layer now fans custom funnel events to fbq('trackCustom', ...) alongside HubSpot. The cookie banner copy names Meta Pixel alongside HubSpot and session replay; Meta Pixel is listed as a subprocessor.

Blog (not yet merged):

• Blog: A public blog at /blog publishes articles written by the WriterzRoom team, covering AI content production, enterprise publishing, and platform development. The listing page features the newest article as a full-width hero card with a primary accent bar, followed by a two-column grid for the remaining posts; each card shows the article category as a colored pill chip. Article pages render the excerpt as a distinct serif lede paragraph and surface two related articles at the bottom. Blog is linked from the site footer and public navigation.

​

September 12, 2026

Regulatory case proposals merged in PR #853; deployment is tracked separately:

• Case Proposals: Manual applicability and action proposals with inspectable evidence passages, version history, and explicit owner acceptance or rejection. Acceptance updates the case and requires current review/release authorization. Live agent proposal generation remains disabled; the panel supports human-authored proposals only.

​

September 10, 2026

Review queue organization and client-recovery fixes merged in PR #851; deployment is tracked separately:

• Review Categories Added: Reviews can be filtered by qualification — Medical, Legal, Compliance, Brand, Editorial — with the filter applied server-side ahead of the queue’s row limit. A category outside the visible window previously looked empty instead of merely unfetched.
• Global Error Boundary Added: An error thrown outside the normal app shell (root layout, page-level boundaries) now renders the standard failure page instead of a blank screen.
• Mobile Client Recovery: The service worker no longer caches _next/ runtime assets, which could leave an installed mobile client running JavaScript chunks from a previous deployment after a release. Persisted navigation and sidebar state are also now validated before use, so a corrupted or unexpected stored value falls back to defaults instead of breaking startup.
• Templates Page Views Added: Card and list view toggles for the template catalog.

​

September 8, 2026

Case-to-artifact development package merged in PR #848; deployment is tracked separately:

• Case Workflows in Studio: Case owners can open Regulatory Memo or Healthcare AI Governance with the saved objective, program scope, jurisdiction, evidence versions and assigned case reviewer. Complete scope reaches the shared agent context without summary truncation. Effective date and remaining template fields are completed in Studio.
• Durable Generation Links: Server-validated admission records bind the original case revision and work request to the generated artifact. Cases list linked runs and dossier links; dossiers provide a return path. Assignment to a case does not grant private artifact access.
• Current Case Inputs at Release: Stale launches and unauthorized associations are rejected before billing. Case edits and changed evidence/reviewer access mark prior results as historical and hold release. Closure transitions alone do not authorize publication or change the generation scope.
• Inherited Evidence Boundaries: New use and review check historical evidence referenced by the case snapshot as well as current attachments. Existing file and context limits remain enforced; launch and readiness checks do not call a model. Applicability and case decisions remain human-controlled.

Authentication hardening and public failure messages merged in PR #849; deployment is tracked separately:

• TOTP Endpoints Hardened: Verify, validate, and disable now rate-limit to 5 attempts per minute, and submitted codes must match their expected format before reaching comparison. /api/auth/totp/validate previously trusted a caller-supplied x-user-id header instead of an authenticated session; it now requires the same session dependency as every other TOTP route.
• Request Size Enforcement Corrected: The body-size cap now bounds bytes actually received rather than trusting a client-supplied Content-Length header, which could previously be omitted or understated to bypass the 10MB limit.
• Public Failure Messages Added: Generation and citation failures now return one of a small set of fixed public messages regardless of the underlying error, with raw diagnostics kept in server logs and behind admin-only diagnostic endpoints.

Admin operations and revision evidence merged in PR #850; deployment is tracked separately:

• Admin Operations Panel Added: Recent generation failures are listed by category (citations, timeout, provider access, quality checks, interrupted worker, other) from bounded, redacted projections rather than raw diagnostics.
• Revision Evidence Preserved: A requested revision now carries the same numbered source manifest the original draft used, so a revision pass can’t renumber, drop, or misattribute a citation the first pass already established.

​

September 7, 2026

Regulatory development increment merged in PR #848; deployment is tracked separately:

• Regulatory Programs and Cases: Define company/product scope and open a supervised case from a logged Radar change. The case retains its original scope and change snapshot.
• Case Workbench: Assess applicability, attach authorized source versions, record actions and internal target dates, inspect evidence, and request closure review. Owner review and named workspace review are distinguished.
• Versioned Closure Decisions: Stale edits and decisions are rejected. Case changes require renewed review; revoked evidence makes recorded closure non-current. Transactional history and a bounded JSON export preserve decisions and reasons.

The following foundation updates were merged in PR #847; deployment is tracked separately.

• Template Subject Fields Completed: Reviewed all 60 content templates. Data-Driven Report, Market Analysis, Social Media Campaign, and Strategic Brief now have a required free-text subject field for the topic, organization, market, brand, product, or initiative. The fields appear among commonly used inputs and feed generation instructions and research queries; report headings also use the specific subject. Existing context, goal, and evidence fields remain available.
• Governed Work Requests Added: Specialist launches now carry a versioned workflow, work objective, template and workflow fingerprints, vertical, style, destination, and authorized source versions through generation into the dossier. Unknown workflows, stale versions, template mismatches, and missing objectives are rejected before charging. Regulated workflows also require a jurisdiction and effective date.
• Workflow Readiness Added to Studio: Studio displays server-resolved source rules, required reviews, and scope fields. A readiness check validates workflow inputs, source access, and named reviewers without running generation or calling a model. Readiness does not certify evidence currency, generation quality, billing eligibility, or release approval; generation repeats its admission checks.
• Qualified Reviewer Selection Added: Work requests can name active workspace members designated for legal, medical, compliance, brand, or editorial review. Named reviewers must have separate read access to the selected evidence. Additional selected roles become mandatory, and both initial assignment and the background assignment sweep preserve the requested reviewer. Unavailable selections remain unassigned until corrected or explicitly reassigned; recorded review obligations remain in force alongside current policy.
• Private Sources and Version History Added: Original uploads are retained separately from metadata, with immutable extraction versions, original and extraction fingerprints, and version/access events. Sources can be selected by saved version, inspected with extraction anchors, and downloaded by authorized users. Explicit read or generation-use grants to active teammates cover all versions; source and grant revocation hold further use and release.
• Evidence Accounting Strengthened: Bounded CSV, JSON, spreadsheet, Word, PDF, and text extraction reports coverage and omissions instead of silently sampling files. Server-owned source references replace trusted browser extraction, and a shared context budget prevents silent prompt slicing. Missing or incomplete required evidence stops admission. Scanned PDFs requiring OCR and oversized sources remain explicit limitations.
• Source Dependencies Added: Source owners can inspect their own artifacts that depend on any version of a source, with a total count, up to 50 recent results, and links to the corresponding dossiers. Other members’ private artifacts remain excluded. Uploading a new version does not silently regenerate existing drafts.
• Evidence Access Bound to Review and Release: Live source checks apply at admission, resume, agent boundaries, final persistence, review, and external release. The recorded work request and current source permissions participate in release review binding. Evidence-derived work is excluded from automatic example reuse and embedding writes until transitive consent and reuse lineage are available.
• Workflow Return Paths Fixed: Sign-in, signup, email verification, and MFA now preserve a validated same-site return path. An expiring workflow-only browser hint retains the selection when verification opens another tab in the same browser; invite tokens are not stored in that hint. Sources also consistently uses the authenticated application shell and route protection.

​

September 4, 2026

• Workspace Knowledge and Connectors Released: A workspace’s documents can now be shared with every active member instead of staying scoped to whoever uploaded them, and connectors can pull material from a system you own into that same shared retrieval — a fixed list of web pages today, or a PostgreSQL table with both scheduled sync and live queries run at generation time. Every retrieved source, workspace or connector alike, carries its scope, a stable locator, and the record it came from through to the citation, the claim-level evidence, and the asset dossier, so content grounded in your own material is never harder to trace than content grounded in the curated corpus. Connectors validate their settings before anything is stored, run with a read-only database session, and refuse loopback, link-local, and cloud-metadata addresses; private network ranges are refused unless a dedicated deployment has explicitly enabled them for that customer’s connectivity. See Corpus and MCP and Workspace.
• Per-Industry Editions Released: Four editions — Legal Professional, Healthcare Professional, Financial Professional, and Enterprise Growth — bundle a set of verticals with the verifiers, compliance policy, curated source packs, and connector types that apply to them. An edition can list a verifier only if one of its verticals actually activates it, and its enforcement level is the weakest of its verticals, so a bundle can never claim more governance than the verticals inside it actually run. See Editions.
• Source Attribution Corrected for Uploaded and Synced Documents: A private or workspace document with no public URL could previously ground a passage and then disappear from its own reference list, because citation and source de-duplication both keyed on URL alone. Sources are now identified by URL or by a stable locator, so an uploaded or connector-synced document is cited, evidenced, and shown in the dossier the same as a web source — and, since it is the customer’s own material, is scored at the same authority a primary source gets rather than the lowest tier a URL-less result previously received by default.

​

September 3, 2026

• B2B Marketing Vertical Added: An eleventh vertical for demand generation, account-based marketing, and product marketing content, bringing the catalog to 11 verticals. It leads each piece with the ideal customer profile, maps the piece to a funnel stage (TOFU, MOFU, or BOFU) with a single call to action, and treats conversion rates, CAC, and pipeline figures as claims that need a source rather than assertions. Forbidden claims such as “guaranteed ROI” and “#1 in the market” are blocked, conditional claims such as “industry-leading” and “proven” require a cited metric or a specific result, and advisory quantity checks reconcile a stated total against its parts where the draft exposes them. See B2B Marketing.
• Domain Vocabulary per Vertical: Every vertical now carries a glossary of its field’s terms of art that the writer draws on, with acronyms defined on first use, so drafts read as though written by a practitioner in the domain rather than a generalist. Terms are supplied per vertical and injected into the writer’s instructions at generation time; no model weights change.

​

August 2026

​

August 30, 2026

• Campaigns Released: The briefs, drafts, calendar entries, approvals, and evidence behind one initiative can now be grouped and reported on together. A campaign links to records the rest of the product already owns rather than copying them, and its rollup aggregates only what has actually been measured — content with no performance data is counted separately instead of averaged in as a zero. A link whose record was later deleted is reported by the label captured when it was made, so a vanished row cannot be mistaken for a genuine decline. See Campaigns.
• Experiments Released: Headlines, CTAs, structures, voice variants, and channel-specific versions can be tested and the result adjudicated rather than eyeballed. The verdict comes from a pooled two-proportion test that is Bonferroni-corrected across challengers and refuses to report a p-value on samples too small for the test to be valid, so “inconclusive” and “not enough data” are distinct first-class outcomes. Only an experiment that established a winner can be promoted into a pattern for future work; promotion is refused otherwise, with the verdict and its reason. See Experiments.
• Audiences Released: Audience profiles — terminology, objections, reading level, decision criteria, preferred evidence, and channel behavior — can be stored once and measured against a draft. Reading level reports a real pass or fail; terminology and objections report presence, and an objection that appears is reported as mentioned rather than addressed, because the check cannot tell a rebuttal from a restatement. A dimension left empty reports as unchecked rather than passing. See Audiences.
• Localization Released: Market variants can be managed by language, region, jurisdiction, and market, with a parity check that verifies the approved claims and required disclosures survived. Because text matching cannot verify a translation, a cross-language item reports as unverifiable — neither a pass nor a failure — until a reviewer who reads both languages attests to it. Numeric parity runs across languages regardless, normalizing decimal separators so a localized figure is not misread as a changed one. Editing a variant clears its stored report rather than leaving a stale green result attached. See Localization.
• Policies Released: Conditional review and compliance rules can be authored by vertical, claim type, channel, risk level, and destination, then evaluated deterministically against a publication context. A rule conditioned on a dimension the context did not supply is reported as indeterminate, naming the missing field, rather than being silently dropped — a required review must not disappear because a channel field was blank. See Policies.
• Signed-Out Access to Intelligence Pages Closed: The middleware route matcher had drifted from the app’s own route list, leaving /learning, /claims, /content-health, /regulatory-radar, and /requests without a server-side redirect for signed-out visitors. All five are now gated, and a test asserts the two lists agree so the same drift fails the build rather than a later review.
• Sidebar Scrolling Contained: Scrolling the navigation list no longer chains into the page behind it once the list reaches its top or bottom, and the list’s own scrollbar now shows on hover instead of staying permanently hidden.
• Editor Back Navigation Corrected: Exiting the editor previously left it in the browser history stack, so a second Back press from the content page returned to the editor instead of wherever it had been opened from. Exiting now replaces that history entry instead of stacking on top of it.
• Command Center Assurance Posture Fixed: The dashboard’s assurance strip, “Needs a decision” queue, review load, and vertical posture table were silently disappearing for any account with a pending approval that had a due date — comparing a database timestamp against the current time raised an error the frontend read as “no assurance data” and quietly fell back to the plain metric strip with no indication anything had failed. The underlying due-date value is now normalized before comparing, and the API response serializes that same normalized value rather than a timestamp with no timezone offset, which previously let the displayed countdown disagree with its own severity label outside UTC.
• Collapsed Sidebar Fixed: The active-item highlight in the collapsed navigation rail was pinned to the row’s left edge instead of centered on its icon, hover tooltips on collapsed items were rendering but clipped to nothing by the scrollable list’s own overflow boundary, and a subgroup (“Adaptive Intelligence”, “Planning & Governance”) could not be collapsed while a page inside it was open — the toggle updated internal state but the row stayed forced open regardless.
• Settings Data Loss Fixed: Profile fields for bio and company, and the Corpus & Verticals preferred-verticals list, were accepted by the Settings form and silently discarded on save — the backend had no column for company and no request field for either bio or preferred verticals. Both are now persisted and read back correctly. “Download My Data” now uses the existing, more complete GDPR export instead of a narrower ad hoc one built from the content library alone. A non-functional “Style Profiles” settings tab, unreachable from any navigation link, was removed.
• Review and Validity Notifications Added: Assigning a governed review and finding a broken or stale source during a validity scan now send an email, respecting each account’s notification preference — previously neither did, and the only way to learn about either was to check the dashboard’s decision queue directly.
• Review SLA Hours and Vertical Enablement Made Configurable: An organization can now override how many hours a review role gets before counting as breached, and restrict which verticals its members can generate against — both were previously fixed for every workspace. See Workspace.

​

August 29, 2026

• Verified Claims Registry Released: Approved facts — a statistic, a regulatory position, a client-specific detail — can be saved once, with their source, vertical, and jurisdiction, then reused as pre-cleared evidence in future generations instead of being re-researched or retyped each time. A claim scoped to one jurisdiction is only offered to generations in that same jurisdiction; a claim with no jurisdiction stays available everywhere. Reapproving a claim past its expiration now requires setting a new expiration rather than silently extending the old one while leaving it expired. See Verified Claims.
• Adaptive Intelligence Released: Generation can now draw on user-specific signals — voice examples recovered from substantial edits, prior work, explicit feedback, measured performance, and the verified claims registry — each independently toggleable, with the underlying evidence visible before it’s used. Model weights are not retrained; approved context is retrieved at generation time. See Adaptive Intelligence.
• Content Health Released: Validity monitoring, running in the backend since August 1, now has a reader. Published, source-grounded assets show their stale-source and dead-link findings directly, with on-demand re-scanning and acknowledgment. See Content Health.
• Regulatory Radar Released: Teams can register the agencies, standards, laws, and guidance relevant to what they publish, and log changes against them with severity, effective date, and a review workflow. See Regulatory Radar.
• Content Requests Released: Stakeholder and client requests can now be captured as structured intake — objective, audience, channel, deadline, priority — and tracked through review and approval before a generation is run against them. See Content Requests.
• Citation-Source Pairing Corrected: A verified claim’s supporting source could survive a generation’s source-count limit while the claim text it was evidence for was trimmed by a separate, independent limit, leaving a citation in the reference list with nothing behind it. The two are now capped together.
• Command Center Gains Assurance Posture: The Dashboard now surfaces governance state alongside operational metrics — pooled verification coverage, a severity-ranked queue of items needing a decision, and open review load broken out by qualification (medical, legal, compliance, brand, editorial). See Dashboard.
• Toast Notifications Restyled: Notifications across the product now use a quieter, lower-third caption treatment, including title-only messages and the writerzroom theme’s color contrast.

​

August 28, 2026

• Find & Replace Added to the Editor: The editor gained an in-document find-and-replace control, with font and color controls exposed alongside it. Matching runs against the document’s actual text rather than its underlying HTML, so a formatting tag no longer splits a search term across a match boundary.
• Verification Extended to Five Previously Uncovered Verticals: Political gained a verifier checking a poll’s stated margin of error against what its sample size can actually support; Real Estate, one reconciling a stated price-per-square-foot or cap rate against the price and area or income it was computed from; and Enterprise Operations, one checking a stated availability target against the downtime budget it implies. SaaS gained a verifier checking documented HTTP status codes against their standardized reason phrases, and Education one validating a reference’s ISBN check digit and DOI syntax. Ten correctness issues found in review across the five were fixed before release.
• Video Display Fixed: A video element’s aspect ratio is now preserved exactly, rather than cropped by object-fit at small display sizes.
• Design System Consistency Pass: Public marketing pages aligned to the product’s own design tokens.

​

August 17, 2026

• Section Editing Made Directed and Metered: Rewriting one section of a draft now takes an instruction — “tighten this”, “drop the second example” — so a revision is an edit rather than an undirected reroll. It is priced at 1 credit against the 5 a whole-document Premium Polish costs, which removes the incentive to re-run an entire document to fix one paragraph. The endpoint had been running unbilled: it called a provider on every request with no entitlement check and no deduction. A rewrite that fails, is cut off, or is declined is not charged, and a billing error after a successful rewrite never discards the rewrite.
• Draft Comparison Released: Any two versions of a document can now be read against each other — added and removed lines, word-count delta, and a similarity score. The backend has computed these diffs since versioning shipped and nothing displayed them, so an author could see that thirty lines changed with no way to see which thirty. A similarity above 95% after a polish is called out, because a rewrite that returns what it was given is worth knowing about before paying for another.
• Asset Dossier Released: The content passport now has a reader. Every governed asset gets a dossier showing what supports each cited sentence — with the source excerpt, its retrieval date, and a confidence band — alongside the models that actually served each stage, the template and style profile at the versions that ran, which governance executed, which compliance rules fired, the approvals the asset requires, and its most recent validity scan. The passport exports as JSON for a compliance file, and the page prints. Assets with no governed generation report that plainly rather than showing a partial record. See Asset Dossier.
• Deterministic Replay Surfaced in the Product: Reproducibility checking was API-only. An asset’s dossier now reports per-field drift against what the deployment can currently supply, and returns the generation payload that would reproduce it. Replay remains a normal metered generation rather than a hidden second execution path.
• Calendar Slots Close Their Own Loop: Executing a slot through Generate Now now carries the planned brief into the generation form and reports the finished draft back to the slot, which moves itself to Generated and records the library item that satisfied it. Previously the calendar handed three configuration ids to the generator and heard nothing back, so the brief had to be retyped and every status on the board was a manual claim.
• Calendar Rescheduling Added: Chips can be dragged between days, and the entry drawer gained a date field. Moving a planned piece previously meant deleting it and planning it again.
• Calendar Dropdowns Completed and Grouped: The vertical menu now lists every configured vertical rather than a hardcoded seven, so Education, Enterprise Operations, and Healthcare Legal appear. The style profile menu pages through the full catalog instead of stopping at the first hundred, and both it and the template menu are grouped by category.
• Calendar Day Overflow Made Reachable: A date holding more than three entries showed “+N more” as plain text, leaving those entries unreachable from the grid. It now opens a day view listing all of them. Day cells are also keyboard-operable, and Escape closes the drawer.
• Publishing Failures Made Visible: Choosing a platform with no stored credentials appeared to do nothing. The reason is now shown — including the backend’s own instruction to connect the platform in Settings — and the publish menu marks unconnected destinations before they are clicked. A toast helper that routed notifications to a component the app never rendered was the underlying cause, so failure messages across the product were being discarded silently.
• Machine-Sounding Contrast Phrasing Addressed: Generated prose leaned on the verbless antithesis — “creates noise, not audience growth” — where the negated half has no verb of its own. Writing guidance now teaches the repair rather than a synonym swap, and the editor receives the specific sentences to rewrite. Detection is advisory and confined to a single sentence: the same contrast written as two sentences is ordinary human phrasing, and technical reference prose such as “per attempt, not per call” is left alone.

• Specialist Workflows Released: The template catalog now has an outcome-first entry point. Fourteen workflows across seven categories — thought leadership, SEO and growth, sales enablement, regulated content, investor and executive, technical and product, and newsletters and campaigns — name the deliverable rather than the internal template classification. Each card states what the workflow produces, who it is for, and the review problem it removes. See Specialist Workflows.
• In-App Setup Checklist Added: New accounts now see a dismissible checklist on the dashboard with a progress indicator, covering the first run, brand voice, a publishing connection, and a first publication. Step completion is derived from the records each step describes rather than stored, so a step completed elsewhere in the product still reads as done and a deleted record un-does it. The steps match what the onboarding emails already ask for. See Dashboard.
• Command Palette Made Discoverable: The palette is now reachable from a Search entry in the sidebar with its keyboard shortcut shown, rather than only by pressing the shortcut with no indication it existed. See Command Palette.
• Inline Password Validation Added: Sign-up and password reset now validate as you type, with a strength indicator and a requirement checklist. Sign-up gained a confirmation field, so a typo no longer produces an account that can only be recovered by reset.
• Password Length Limit Corrected: Passwords are hashed with bcrypt, which reads at most 72 bytes, but the API previously accepted up to 128 characters — everything past the 72nd was accepted and then ignored. Both the form and the API now stop at 72. Existing accounts are unaffected: sign-in already compared only the first 72 characters, so a longer password set earlier still works.
• Overlay Animations Restored: Dialogs, popovers, selects, tooltips, and the command palette referenced animation utilities that were never defined in this project, so all of them appeared and disappeared with no transition. The utilities are now defined and honour the reduced-motion preference.
• Reduced Motion Honoured in Animated Components: Motion driven by JavaScript previously ignored the operating system’s reduced-motion setting, which only reached CSS-based animation.
• Action Confirmation Behaviour Fixed: Copy-to-clipboard confirmations no longer revert early when a control is used twice in quick succession, and no longer leave a pending timer behind when the view is closed mid-confirmation.

August 13, 2026

• Qualified Reviewer Assignment Released: Organization members can hold medical, legal, compliance, brand, and editorial review qualifications independently of their workspace permissions. Required reviews are assigned deterministically, staged in the Reviews queue, and synchronized back to the content passport.
• Review Recovery and Escalation Added: An hourly sweep repairs missing routes, assigns newly eligible reviewers, and marks overdue work for escalation. Removing a qualification reroutes that member’s pending work.
• Private Corpus Retrieval Added: Authenticated users can upload, list, search, inspect statistics for, and delete their own reference documents. Retrieval combines curated vertical material with only the caller’s private corpus.
• Curated Corpus MCP Added: A separate read-only MCP service exposes curated vertical retrieval without exposing private user uploads. Deployment remains IAM-authenticated and operator-controlled.
• All Ten Vertical Corpus Packs Completed: Healthcare Legal and Enterprise Operations join the existing curated retrieval packs.
• Verified Artifact Workflows Added: Legal analyses, clinical notes, and data briefs can be generated with strict schema decoding or verified independently, with evidence and verifier limitations shown in the product.
• Publication State and Validity Corrected: Publication and validity records are now linked to governed generated assets rather than inferred from unrelated content records.
• Product and API Documentation Reconciled: Counts, pipeline routes, platform coverage, request fields, response envelopes, and base URLs now match machine-readable product and endpoint contracts.

​

August 1, 2026

• Content Governance Layer Released: Every generation now carries a content passport — a portable production record covering template and style versions, the models that actually served each stage, the sources it was grounded in, what governance ran, which compliance rules were checked, and what supports each claim. See Content Governance.
• Quality Enforcement Moved Before Publication: The quality gate previously ran after the publisher, so content was marked published before anything verified it. Every generation path — Quick or Premium, with SEO or without — now converges on the gate, and only content that clears it reaches publication.
• Assurance Levels Added: Each asset records both the level its tier is designed to deliver and the level the run actually achieved. When a run falls short — a Premium generation whose research returned no sources — the asset is marked as not meeting its tier’s contract rather than inheriting the claim from its price.
• Claim-Level Evidence Recorded: Each inline citation now carries its own record: the claim, the source, the source excerpt, retrieval and publication dates, and a confidence score. Citation checking previously kept only a single pass/fail verdict for the whole document.
• Semantic Claim Verification Added (Premium, opt-in): Term matching cannot tell a claim from its own negation — “the trial found a significant reduction” against a source reporting no significant reduction shares every keyword. Claims can now be checked against their source for contradiction, insufficient support, or ambiguity.
• Vertical Compliance Rules Made Enforceable: Forbidden claims and conditional claims were declared in every vertical and passed to the model as instructions, but never checked against the output. Both are now enforced against the finished draft. Compliance disclaimers that negate a forbidden phrase (“we cannot guarantee any outcome”) are correctly not flagged.
• Approval Orchestration Added: Reviews route automatically from the vertical, the deliverable type, and what the quality checks actually found. Healthcare content routes to medical and legal review in sequence; a contradicted claim routes editorial review onto content that would otherwise need none. Reviews carry SLAs and are recorded on the asset.
• Validity Monitoring Added: A scheduled scan re-checks published assets for stale sources and dead links, relative to the freshness window of the vertical that produced them. Findings can be acknowledged without erasing them, and an asset resurfaces if new problems appear.
• Deterministic Replay Added: Any asset can be checked for reproducibility against current templates, style profiles, and models, then replayed and compared. Drift is reported per field rather than hidden — a replay against a revised template is reported as a re-generation, not a reproduction.
• Provider Failover Added: A rejected provider credential no longer fails a generation. The pipeline reroutes to a healthy provider, records where the work actually ran, and routes around the failed provider for the rest of the process.

July 2026

​

July 31, 2026

• Citations Suppressed on Non-Citational Formats: Social posts, scripts, lyrics, and landing pages no longer carry citation markers or reference sections. Their output contracts have no place for an attribution, and a citation requirement inherited from a vertical could previously fail the entire generation.
• Citation Failures Made Recoverable: A citation that does not hold up now has its marker removed and the orphaned reference pruned, rather than discarding an otherwise valid draft. Generations still fail where the template or vertical genuinely requires citations.
• Citation Validation Accuracy Improved: Fixed a validator that failed correctly cited documents by comparing citations against the reference list rather than the prose, and a second that cleared a misattributed citation because the same source was cited correctly elsewhere.
• Word Count Contracts Enforced: A word-count target that exceeds a template’s declared hard limit is now clamped to the template’s own range instead of overriding it.
• Quick Tier Research Routing Corrected: Quick generations no longer pull in research for templates that merely support it, while templates whose classification genuinely requires citations still route through research.
• Pipeline Inspector Accuracy Improved: The Studio inspector now reflects the stages a run actually executed rather than a fixed per-tier list.
• Dollar Amounts Preserved: Math rendering no longer consumes currency values in generated content.
• Design System Consistency Pass: Duplicate tokens removed and off-palette gradient, glass, and purple treatments retired across the app.

​

July 30, 2026

• Quality Gate Corrected for SEO-Skipped Runs: Generations that legitimately skip SEO no longer fail on a readability score that was never computed.
• SEO Output Delivered: SEO-optimized content is now the content that ships; the optimizer previously wrote to a field the publisher did not read.
• Token Accounting and Spend Ceilings Added: Every model call in the pipeline is now instrumented, with real per-generation token and cost totals and a per-account spend ceiling.
• Analytics Corrected: Success rates, word counts, and dashboard metrics now distinguish unavailable data from zero instead of reporting misleading values.
• Authentication Hardened: Constant-time secret comparison and enforced production secret configuration.
• Streaming Output Fixed: Live generation no longer displays every expansion pass concatenated together.
• Verbatim Overlap Measurement Added: Finished content is measured against the sources it was grounded in, recorded on the quality report for review.
• Stylometry Calibrated: Prose distribution targets were recalibrated against real human writing rather than an estimate.

​

July 29, 2026

• Brand Voice Learned From Examples: Style profiles now demonstrate voice with exemplars instead of describing it with adjectives, and voice is learned from user edits.
• Structural Variance Added: Openings, structures, and conclusions are assigned per generation across 24 templates that previously had none, so repeat generations diverge instead of converging on one formula.
• Divergence Moved to Planning: Anti-repetition is now applied before drafting. The prior approach regenerated finished drafts and produced substantially the same piece.
• File Uploads Reached Full Template Coverage: Reference file uploads are supported across all 50 templates and are wired into the generation prompt.
• Grounding Restricted to Your Own Work: Generation grounds in the user’s own kept content rather than shared sample material.
• Credit Duplication Closed: A provisioning path that could double-credit an account was fixed.

​

July 28, 2026

• Command Palette Added: Keyboard-driven navigation and item-scoped actions across the app.
• Reversible Actions Made Undoable: Deletes and similar actions now offer undo instead of a confirmation prompt.
• Studio Driven by Live Stream: The generation workspace consumes the event stream directly instead of polling.
• Accessibility Floor Raised: Roving tab order in library and template pickers, keyboard access to disabled-template states, and theme-token conversion for remaining hardcoded surfaces.
• Landing Page Content Corrected: Fabricated marketing claims and generated-copy patterns were removed.
• Dashboard Metrics Fixed: Corrected metrics that were wrong rather than merely unformatted.

​

July 26, 2026

• Editor Upgraded: Real image insertion, format painter, visible find, and live typography state.
• Real PDF Export Added: PDF exports are now true PDFs and HTML exports are standalone.
• Pipeline Scaffolding Suppressed: Generated content no longer references its own source list or narrates the generation process.
• Grammar Gate Made Length-Fair: Grammar checking scales with document length, recovers from checker outages, and no longer counts deliberate proper nouns as errors.
• Brand Voice Selector Added to Studio: Brand voice profiles can be selected in the production brief.
• Design Pass: Reduced nesting, removed editorial scaffolding, and improved visual rhythm across the app.

​

July 25, 2026

• Context Engineering Added: A structured context packet is built once per generation and consumed by the planner, writer, and editor, replacing per-agent context assembly. Retrieval and Quick-tier routing are driven from the same packet.
• Enterprise Quality Failures Enforced: Structural quality failures now block completion instead of being recorded and ignored.
• Security Scanning Gated on Deploy: Vulnerability scanning was split into its own job so it actually runs and blocks deployment, and the findings it surfaced were fixed.
• Pricing Model Corrected: Team seats, recurring credits, feature eligibility, and vertical counts were reconciled across product, docs, and tests.

​

July 23, 2026

• Content Library Crash Fixed: Resolved a crash and HTML-leaked previews in the library, plus save and preview defects on the edit page.
• Adaptive Template Structure Added: The writer adapts structure to the deliverable rather than applying one skeleton.
• Published Metric Added: Analytics now reports published content as a distinct metric.
• Security Patches Applied: High and critical severity dependency advisories were resolved.

​

July 21-22, 2026

• Hard Generation Deadline Enforced: A generation deadline now survives a blocked pipeline stage, and LLM client timeouts are bounded so a stalled stream cannot hang the pipeline.
• Writer Token Budget Corrected: Token budgets are sized from the maximum word target rather than the minimum, eliminating truncation on longer deliverables.
• Screenplay Export Formatting Fixed: Screenplay exports retain correct formatting.

​

July 18-19, 2026

• Tier Definitions Unified: Generation tiers now resolve from a single source of truth, with quality mode collapsed into tier and token ceilings raised to use available model headroom.
• Truncation Failures Made Loud: Generations that truncate now fail explicitly instead of completing silently with incomplete content.
• Style Profile Coverage Completed: 21 purpose-built style profiles were added for Political and Fintech templates, completing coverage across all verticals.
• Studio Catalog Views Added: Board and list view toggles for the workflow catalog.
• Reference Documentation Expanded: 50 combination-specific reference documents covering vertical, template, and style pairings.
• Visual Identity Refined: Redesigned favicons and app icons, and dark mode moved to true black backgrounds.

​

July 12, 2026

• Studio Released: The generation workspace is now a three-stage Studio covering production context, template and style selection, structured production briefs, tier controls, live output, pipeline inspection, and readiness validation.
• Template Schema Loading Corrected: Studio now loads the selected template’s full detail schema before execution, restoring dynamic parameters and preventing workflows from running with missing configuration.
• Responsive Studio Layout Improved: Workflow summary and generation-tier controls use compact horizontal layouts on medium screens, while the inspector and readiness panels move below the output canvas before the mobile breakpoint.
• Content Library Rebuilt: The library now supports table and card views, saved operational filters, quality indicators, publishing destinations, bulk export and deletion, and an output preview drawer.
• Regulated Category Styling Corrected: Legal, Compliance, and Operations tags now retain distinct backgrounds and borders instead of inheriting an undefined category token.
• Template Catalog Rebuilt: Template cards now use responsive two-to-four-column layouts, dynamic catalog counts, complete action labels, structured-input previews, and direct Studio routing.
• Analytics Expanded: Analytics now separates terminal reliability from drafts and in-progress work, distinguishes unavailable metrics from zero, and adds failed output, backlog, average output, scoring coverage, and throughput metrics.
• Integration Routes Corrected: Publishing platform catalog, connection status, connect, and disconnect requests now pass through authenticated Next.js proxy routes instead of returning browser-side 404 responses.
• Publishing Platform Guidance Added: Connection cards now include platform-specific setup descriptions and documentation links for Medium, WordPress, Ghost, DEV, Hashnode, LinkedIn, and Beehiiv.
• Image Generation Withheld: Visual generation remains disabled until quality, persistence, moderation, retry behavior, and auditability meet the production standard applied to written content.

​

June 2026

​

June 30, 2026

• Content Originality Framework Added: Generation now rotates opening, conclusion, and structural variants per user and records selections, so repeat generations on the same template read differently instead of converging on one formula.
• Cross-Output Redundancy Detection Added: New content is embedding-compared against a user’s prior outputs. Near-duplicates trigger one automatic re-generation with a divergence directive before the content is finalized.
• Enterprise Quality Report Added: Each generation now produces a context-aware structural audit surfaced on the generation preview.
• Generic Section Headings Reduced: Editor now replaces generic headings with topic-specific ones during its existing edit pass.
• Quick Tier Compliance Hardened: Mandatory disclaimer checks now apply to Quick generations, and requests requiring citations, statistics, or expert quotes route through research.
• Deliverable Labeling Improved: Generation preview, export filenames, and export metadata now reference the actual deliverable name.

​

June 20, 2026

• Live Generation Streaming Added: Content streams into view during generation.
• Premium Human Review Added: Premium generations can pause after editing for approval, direct edits, or requested changes.

​

June 19, 2026

• Visual Identity Overhaul: Serif headings, improved elevation, and stronger product color usage were applied across the app.
• Knowledge Graph Surfaced: Extracted entities are visible on content detail pages and link related assets.
• Knowledge Graph Extended to Manual Saves: Manually edited drafts receive the same entity extraction coverage.
• Token Consolidation: Category and status colors now use shared design tokens.
• Theme Fixes: Corrected content-display colors and deduplicated pipeline-status logic.

​

June 13, 2026

• Phantom Attribution Detection Added: Additional anonymous-authority patterns are blocked and regression-tested.
• Per-Source Relevance Gate Added: Research sources require topical overlap before reaching the writer.
• Academic Source Quality Improved: Academic retrieval and source scoring were tightened.
• Truncated Content Detection Added: Formatter rejects incomplete outputs instead of storing corrupted content.
• Citation Accuracy Improved: Reference sections now include only sources cited inline.
• Premium Model Routing Corrected: Premium writer and editor stages use the intended higher-capability models.
• Generation Routing Loop Fixed: Editor expansion exhaustion no longer causes an infinite writer loop.
• Infrastructure Reliability Improved: Corpus initialization, error reporting, and request timestamp handling were hardened.

​

June 3, 2026

• Workspace Page Added: Organization profiles, team membership, personal credit visibility, and personal activity moved to /workspace. Shared team billing and organization-wide audit are not included.
• Organization API Added: Organization profile, invitation, membership, and role-management endpoints were introduced.
• Publishing Documentation Rewritten: Connection, scheduling, platform, and troubleshooting guidance replaced the previous stub.
• Workspace Documentation Added: Workspace is now part of the Product documentation group.

​

May 2026

​

May 30, 2026

• Health Probes Added: Backend and frontend Cloud Run services now use explicit liveness and startup probes.
• OAuth Token Refresh Added: Publishing adapters refresh expiring OAuth tokens before publishing.
• Command Palette Added: Cmd+K opens navigation and Cmd+N starts generation.
• Scheduled Publishing Foundation Added: A protected five-minute backend executor can process due jobs. The user-facing creation and management workflow remains planned and is not advertised as available.
• Python Integration Guide Released: Direct httpx patterns document authenticated generation, polling, retries, and catalog discovery. A packaged SDK has not yet been released.

​

May 28, 2026

• Low Credit Warning Email Added: Users are notified when credit balance falls below plan thresholds.
• Dependency Security Updated: Patched high-severity dependency vulnerabilities.
• Session Revocation Enforced: Revoked sessions force immediate sign-out.

​

May 27, 2026

• Service Level Objectives Published: Generation success, tier latency, writer latency, and API availability SLOs were defined.
• Slack Alert Routing Added: Production alerts now route to Slack and email.
• Security Build Gate Enforced: CI blocks deployment on critical and high vulnerabilities.
• API Integration Reference Expanded: Authentication, endpoint, generation, status-polling, and direct HTTP examples were published for server-side integrations.
• Published URLs Surfaced: Completed publishing destinations appear in the library and content detail pages.

• Style Profile Library Expanded: Ten specialized professional style profiles were added.
• Template-Style Compatibility Updated: Matching and quality scoring were extended across the new workflows.
• Post-Write Claim Validation Added: Numerical claims and quotes are checked against research evidence.

​

May 23, 2026
