# Changelog (User-facing) This changelog focuses on **what you can do** in Outcomet, not implementation details. ## 2026-06-22 **Consent & Access** - Improved **consent approval** flow: the approval page now shows a clear, actionable error when it cannot detect the **signed‑in account** or **workspace context**, instead of appearing unchanged. --- ## 2026-06-19 **Connection & Authorization Experience** - Updated status and installation messaging in **Agent Connections** to display an **authorization-ready** state, making it clear when an integration is ready to be connected. - Replaced ambiguous inbox copy with concise, actionable guidance that explains how to complete **authorization** and what to expect during the connection process. --- ## 2026-06-18 **Layout & Navigation** - Floating page controls now remain locked to the viewport and transition smoothly when the **Agent panel** opens or closes, eliminating lag during panel resizing. - Page backgrounds and visual surfaces (including gradients) now resize and reposition responsively as workspace panels change, preventing visual jumps and misalignment. - **Page controls** and **KPI cards** maintain stable alignment during window resizes and layout changes so controls remain predictable and accessible. **Graphs & Visualizations** - Visual canvases (circle-packing and other canvas graphs across Strategy, Signals, Discovery, and Feedback) now center dynamically to avoid clipping and preserve full-bleed panning when **KPI cards** or panels are visible. - Auto-fit and manual zoom/drag behavior for graphs has been improved so views no longer snap back or distort when the workspace or **Agent Chat** panel changes; the **Fit View** control now aligns reliably. - **Feedback Planning** timeline now centers on the active "NOW"/"NEXT" columns and adjusts zoom to keep bottom timeline markings fully visible across screen sizes. - The **Capabilities** landscape graph now initializes centered and stays correctly positioned during resizing and user interactions. **Campaigns & Signals** - **Campaigns Success Metrics** cards now show inline trend sparklines and offer direct drill-down into the **signal catalog**, with an added confirmation step to prevent accidental unlinking. - Signal linking within success metrics can toggle between **Company** and **Entity** views and surface inline value and freshness metadata for faster context and decision-making. **Boards & Lists** - **Kanban columns** (e.g., Discovery Experiments) now support proper vertical scrolling and lazy-loading inside each column, improving navigation and performance on long lists. **Rendering Reliability** - Reduced layout collisions when multiple visual canvases are present by ensuring each graph measures and fits within the page's visual boundary, improving consistency across mixed-content pages. --- ## 2026-06-17 **Creation & Navigation** - Separate, context-aware creation flows for **Campaigns** and **Playbooks** with persistent header controls (+ New Campaign on the left, + New Playbook on the right) that maintain stable placement while switching visual priority based on the active tab—reduces cognitive load when creating either resource. **Layout & Interaction** - Fixed page controls and responsive backgrounds so the floating control bar remains locked to the viewport and transitions smoothly when the **Agent panel** opens, improving navigation on long pages and multi-panel views. **Campaign Detail & Member Experience** - Revamped **Campaign Detail** layout: view-switch controls moved into the header, a standard **SearchFilterBar** for fast search and stage/due filtering, and the **Kanban** board now expands to full content height for smoother workflow management. - Cleaner member workflows: stage selections and backfilled stages now align with each campaign's stage set and duplicate stage options have been removed, preventing confusion when moving **Campaign members** between stages. - More stable feedback flows: creating notes inside the campaign member sheet no longer causes UI crashes, improving reliability when capturing feedback. **Metrics & Signals** - Upgraded the **Campaigns Success Metrics card** to include inline trend sparklines, one-click drill-down into the **signal catalog**, and a confirmation step to prevent accidental unlinking—making metric exploration and signal management clearer and safer. - Scoped signal linking to support toggling between **Company** and **Entity** views and surface inline value and freshness metadata for clearer signal context. **Import & Data Quality** - Improved **CSV/JSON import** preview now deduplicates rows by profile URL to prevent creating duplicate **Campaign members**, resulting in cleaner, more reliable imports. **Reliability & Error Handling** - Deep-linking to specific **Campaign** or **Playbook** pages now displays proper loading indicators and clear error alerts when content fails to load, instead of misleading "not found" messages. --- ## 2026-06-16 **Campaigns & Playbooks** - Playbooks and **Campaigns** are now separate: **Playbook** templates are managed independently from active campaigns and edited in a dedicated **Playbook Crafting Studio** for visually building pipeline stages, setting timing cadence, and authoring operator instructions (inline editing supported). **Campaign Management & Pipeline** - New dedicated **Campaigns** module with customizable pipeline stage sets and cadence playbooks, including stage classifications such as **Success** and **Cleaning** to control automated behavior at terminal stages. - Interactive pipeline experience with dual **Spreadsheet** and **Kanban** views, reactive filter chips for active stages and overdue statuses, and a redesigned campaign details dashboard that surfaces KPIs, progress sequence, avatars, and relative due-date badges for faster situational awareness. - Member-level workflow enhancements via a slide-over **Campaign Member** panel to manage next actions, log touchpoints (with validated outbound links), view stage transitions and overdue items, create permalinks to timeline entries, and convert responses into product feedback. **Importing & Data Quality** - Idempotent importer for Markdown tables and JSON lists with duplicate detection and clear warnings; improved handling of empty table cells and existing profile links to prevent import failures and unintended duplicates. **Analytics & Signals** - Added **Success Metrics** and **Signals** integration so campaigns can be measured against product signals; a new link dialog on campaign details makes it easy to search, link, and unlink signals. **Reliability & UX** - Improved deep-linking and loading behavior so direct links to campaigns, playbooks, members, stages, and due filters show proper loading states and contextual errors rather than generic messages. - Resolved duplicate stage/dropdown options and other pipeline inconsistencies to ensure smoother stage transitions and member handling. --- ## 2026-06-15 **Archiving & Record Recovery** - Clear visual badges and styled rows for **archived** items make it easy to spot archived **Companies**, **Contacts**, and **Campaigns** in lists and tables. - One-click **Unarchive / Restore** available from record detail panels so archived records can be recovered without leaving the context view. - KPI counters on the **Contacts** page reliably reflect active records regardless of archive filters, removing confusion about metrics. **Duplicates & Merge** - Stronger duplicate prevention: creation flows now validate email and name across existing records (active and archived) to prevent accidental duplicate **Contacts** and **Companies**, while still allowing a soft "Create anyway" path for display-name edge cases. - Inline duplicate warnings in the **Add Contact** / **Add Company** dialogs present immediate restore and merge actions so users can resolve conflicts before creating new records. - Built-in **Merge** workflow in Contact and Company detail views consolidates relationships, accounts, campaign links and activity into a single canonical record and removes the source—all via inline confirmations (no nested modals). - Merge safeguards and friendly messaging: merges show descriptive errors for email/domain conflicts, warn if the merge target will be un-archived, report partial-linking issues as warnings (not hard failures), and include the count of discarded duplicate account profiles in success messages. - Search and merge results now return complete matching sets (no longer truncated), ensuring large workspaces can find and merge any record. **Search, Linking & Feedback** - Search now correctly handles special characters (commas, parentheses, backslashes), so queries behave predictably and don’t error on unusual terms. - Linking between feedback and contacts/companies is more reliable: all matching contacts appear in linking popups and sidebar/tag views, and inbox rows update immediately when links are added or removed. **UI Indicators & User Feedback** - Creation dialogs show a live "Checking duplicates..." status next to name and email fields so users know when validations are running. - Buttons and form states block submission when duplicate email or domain issues would prevent a valid save, reducing failed saves and confusion. - Restoration, merge and partial-linking operations now surface clear, actionable toast messages and inline banners so users understand outcomes and next steps. **Capability Timeline & Performance** - The **Capability timeline** now preserves historical parent-child structures and metadata so past snapshots reflect the correct relationships and ownership as they were at that time. - Playback has been smoothed and optimized: restored springy easing and snappier daily transitions in the **Capability landscape**, eliminated playback lag and freezing across date ranges, and resolved timeline tie-breaking for consistent scrubbing. - Duplicate-named capabilities correctly retain feedback links and receive accurate rollup health scores, ensuring timeline analytics and health views are complete and trustworthy. --- ## 2026-06-14 **Feedback & Collaboration** - Post comments on individual feedback items and themes via a **collapsible comments drawer**, keeping conversations attached to item details. - Cleaner editor interface with a minimal sidebar to reduce visual clutter. **Rich Content Editing** - Compose comments with a new **Rich Text Editor** (markdown preview, raw editor mode, and keyboard shortcuts) for faster, richer input. - Paste and edit **tables** copied from spreadsheets, Notion, or web pages while preserving tabular formatting. **AI Assistance & Feedback Discovery** - Comment histories are now included in the **AI assistant**'s context so summaries and explorations reflect team discussions. - Improved **search** prioritizes exact and phrase matches to surface more relevant feedback and reduce noise from common words. **Consistent Controls Across Modules** - Standardized **signal configuration and graph controls** across Strategy, Discovery, Capabilities, Signals, Feedback, Delivery, Contacts, and Stories for a consistent setup and visualization experience. --- ## 2026-06-13 **Page Controls & Configuration** - Unified and standardized the Configure experience for signals: open the **Configure Signals** modal from the overflow menu, choose and reorder visible signal cards, apply shared **Signal Style** settings, and use consistent number-key and keyboard navigation across core modules. **Collaboration & Comments** - Added in-line **Comments** on individual feedback items and themes with a collapsible comments drawer positioned above the metadata panel for focused discussion. - Introduced a robust **Rich Text Editor** for comments (markdown preview, raw mode, and keyboard shortcuts) including native support for pasting and editing tables copied from spreadsheets or other apps. - Cleaned up the editor layout for a minimal writing experience and enabled AI assistants to access comment threads when summarizing or exploring feedback. **Feedback Planning & Roadmapping** - Consolidated planning controls into a single vertical control bar and surfaced keyboard shortcut help directly inside all Feedback graph views for faster navigation. - Launched a dynamic layout mode and expanded spacing defaults to prevent overlap and make theme cards easier to read; increased per-column active horizon limits to reduce vertical label collisions. - Improved layout persistence so only manually moved or customized themes are locked while others remain dynamic, and provided a reliable reset flow for returning to default layouts. - Enhanced timeline readability: aligned the boundary marker with **Now**, added historical relative-duration markers for closed themes, emphasized weekly markers visually, and automatically offset timeline labels to avoid card overlap. - Made closed themes visible by default on the left side of the timeline to surface historical throughput, and added automatic tracking of **Closed Themes** so velocity is now visible and configurable. - Integrated the new velocity metric into the **Dashboard KPI** modal and renamed the velocity card to **Themes / day** for clearer interpretation; the card now degrades gracefully if external counts are delayed. **Attachments & Insights** - Added secure file and screenshot attachments for feedback and learnings, with a premium drag-and-drop uploader that performs client-side image scaling and compression to optimize uploads and load times. - Upgraded learnings cards and manual learning forms to support rich-text markdown creation and beautiful markdown rendering in detail views. - Improved attachment UX with collapsible sections, image-preview fallbacks, and automatic cleanup of files when associated learnings are removed. --- ## 2026-06-12 **Navigation & Controls** - Standardized page controls across the app with contextual **...** menus for toggling signal/KPI visibility and non-graph visual controls, making controls predictable and reducing duplicate chrome. - Global keyboard support and in-graph shortcut help (including number-key quick tabs) for faster navigation and fewer clicks. **Signals & Sparklines** - More accurate historical trend visuals: sparklines now reflect true trajectories and respect metric polarity so direction indicators (e.g., when lower is better) are meaningful. - At-a-glance trend overview added to the **Signal Catalog** with inline sparklines on each row and a dashboard-style KPI card (full-size 30‑day sparkline) in the **Signal Detail** drawer. - Performance improvements for large workspaces: the **Signal Catalog** now uses lazy loading (infinite scroll) for faster, smoother browsing. **Feedback & Attachments** - Rich feedback attachments: add files and screenshots to feedback submissions and insight cards via a modern drag-and-drop uploader with client-side image scaling/compression for faster uploads and lower bandwidth. - Cleaner feedback detail experience with collapsible Raw Original Message and Screenshots & Attachments sections. - Improved learnings workflow: rich-text markdown editing for manual learnings and beautifully rendered markdown on learnings cards and feedback theme detail pages. **Planning & Roadmaps** - Consolidated planning controls in the **Feedback** planning view into a single vertical control list for a cleaner workspace and resolved control overlap. - Smarter layout behavior: a dynamic layout mode plus expanded default spacing and per-column row limits reduce node and label overlap; dragging now only persists explicitly moved or customized nodes so unmodified items remain adaptive. - Timeline clarity: timeline markers align with the current time marker, closed themes are visible to the left to show historical throughput, historical relative duration markers were added, and weekly markers are visually emphasized to improve temporal context. - Layout reliability: rearrange and reset actions consistently clear stored layout overrides so spacing and layout changes apply predictably. - Workspace velocity visibility: automatic closed-theme counts and a new velocity metric (**Themes / day**) are available to add to the **Dashboard KPI** configuration for quantitative roadmap insight. --- ## 2026-06-11 **Feedback & Themes** - Added **Feedback Chunk-Closing Confirmation**: users are prompted to close any associated open chunks when closing or rejecting a feedback item, reducing orphaned items and saving manual cleanup. - Improved Kanban behavior and filters: theme cards now remain visible after being moved to **Closed**, and the Themes Kanban and Roadmap views correctly respect active status filters so lists reflect the intended scope. - Sidebar source counts are now dynamic and more readable: counts reflect only items that match your active filters, with a concise badge layout for differing vs. matching totals (e.g. `104 [204]`). - Reordered sources so **Independent People** (reporters without companies) appear prominently beneath Unassigned items to ensure they are visible and actionable. **Inbox & KPI experience** - Cleaner, more compact Feedback Inbox: the source filter sidebar is optimized for vertical space and groups sources chronologically when sorting by "Most Recent (30d)" for a cleaner timeline. - New out-of-the-box KPI insights: added **Open Feedback, Closed Feedback, Open Themes, Closed Themes**, **Open/Closed Ratio %**, and a **Severity Distribution (S0-S3)** card to surface key inbox and theme metrics at a glance. - KPI customization and persistence: a configuration button opens a detailed dialog to choose which KPIs to show, with preferences saved locally; KPI settings are organized into clear sections (Background & Border, Color Theme Accent, Layout & Grid). - Rich visual customization controls: fine-grained options for card borders, gradient transparency handling, and a column-count range to control desktop grid layouts, plus responsive breakpoints so KPI cards reflow cleanly on narrower screens or when panels are open. - Standardized workspace controls: the Feedback workspace bar and style customizer now follow global UI patterns for a more consistent experience. **Contact linking & Search** - Faster contact linking with **Create & link**: create and connect people or companies inline from metadata popovers so linking happens without leaving the current context. - Immediate list sync and Unassigned handling: newly created contacts and companies appear right away in linkage dropdowns and lists; connecting a contact immediately removes the item from the Unassigned view. - Improved keyword search relevance: feedback keyword queries now split and rank terms for better matching when words are not contiguous, improving findability across cards. **Visualizations & Metrics** - Restored continuous trend visuals: fixed multiple KPI sparkline issues so trend cards (Feedback, Themes, Signals) now show smooth, accurate historical curves—including capability health trends and recent/constant-signal cases. - More accurate resolution metrics: Feedback and Theme Resolution Ratio KPIs now use a bounded 30-day rolling Workload Resolution Rate (0–100%) and include fallback handling for invalid or missing resolution dates to prevent misleading metrics. **Performance & Reliability** - Smarter incremental loading: lazy loading applied to Kanban columns and long lists (Contacts, Companies, Campaigns, Feedback) to improve initial page load and rendering performance while keeping large views responsive. - Infinite-scroll optimizations and stability fixes: reduced load churn for smoother scrolling and more stable item rendering, and fixed a Contacts detail crash when opening certain person profiles. --- ## 2026-06-10 **Theme Learning & Synthesis** - Automated background generation of **learning cards**; removed the manual **Synthesize Learning Draft** and **Promote to Learning Draft** controls to streamline the workflow and make theme learning automatic when feedback is linked or unlinked. - Learning now prioritizes chunk-level content and **severity** when available (falls back to parent feedback only if needed), producing more accurate, actionable summaries. - Clearer progress and reliability: learning cards show a single, subtle header spinner with an "**updating**" state while synthesis runs, instant visual feedback when linking/unlinking chunks, and improved handling of longer-running syntheses so the interface no longer gets stuck. **Feedback Inbox & KPIs** - More compact **Feedback Inbox** source filter sidebar with day-based chronological grouping (Today, Yesterday, X days ago) for the Most Recent (30d) view, improving scanability. - New, dynamic KPI cards: **Open Feedback**, **Closed Feedback**, **Open Themes**, **Closed Themes**, **Open/Closed Ratio %**, and **Severity Distribution (S0-S3)** (four inline sparklines) for at-a-glance trend tracking. -

Workspace controls standardized to match global app patterns for a more consistent, responsive experience. **Card & Metadata UX** - Cleaner feedback cards and detail panels: removed the top-right **linked** count button and consolidated people/themes/chunks into a right-aligned horizontal stats row to reduce clutter. - Improved readability and interactions: replaced browser tooltips with unified **Tooltip** components for full names, softened markdown styling, reordered footer metadata to Date → Linked Source → Reporter → Type, and aligned typography across the inbox. - Detail improvements: show full chunk text (no duplicated truncated titles), theme count hover reveals linked theme names, and severity tags now use theme-matched colors for clearer visual context. - Fixed KPI tab restore so the correct configurations load on startup, ensuring users see their preferred KPI layout consistently. --- ## 2026-06-09 **Feedback Inbox** - Improved the **company** and **contact** experience with clearer **source filtering**, a more polished **dark mode** panel, and stronger visual contrast across feedback cards for easier scanning. - Added more intuitive **active filter** behavior, including chip-based clearing, selection highlights, and clearer time/status indicators. - Renamed feedback terminology for clarity, including **Filter by source**, **Sources**, and **Independent People**. - Refined feedback card metadata so **source**, **reporter**, and related counts are easier to understand at a glance, including a dedicated **Add source** action when no source is linked. **Source Linking** - Expanded feedback source management with direct **linking** and **unlinking** from the inbox, detail views, and contact/company records. - Improved multi-source workflows so a feedback item can be associated with multiple **people** and **companies**, with smarter handling for ad-hoc and multi-company contacts. - Made the source tree and linking experience more usable at scale with **sticky**, **collapsible**, and progressively loading navigation, plus immediate updates when links change. **Theme Learning** - Restored automatic creation and updating of **Theme Learning** cards when feedback chunks are linked or unlinked. - Fixed the **Synthesize Learning Draft** action so theme insights can be generated reliably from the theme details view. **Capability Health** - Improved the accuracy of **Capability Health** history by preserving repeated same-day edits, retaining explicit **0%** values, and showing unscored capabilities correctly. - Aligned **signal freshness** filters with the underlying signal states so **Fresh**, **Delayed**, **Stale**, and **Broken** categories stay consistent. --- ## 2026-06-08 **Stories & Content Sources** - Integrated a dedicated **Content Sources** tab into **Stories** so incoming items and story drafts live in a single, discoverable place. - Introduced a drag-and-drop **Kanban** triage board (Inbox / Kept / Dropped) for faster sorting and prioritization of inbound content. - Centralized **Quick Capture** into a header modal to declutter lists and make ad‑hoc captures more accessible. - Upgraded **URL capture** to produce rich link previews and detailed post descriptions (improved handling for LinkedIn posts) so captured items include useful context at a glance. - Added an **Inbound Content Sources** panel in the **Story Editor** to link anchor and supporting content directly to a story. **Capability Health & Timelines** - Smoother **Capability timeline** playback with lazy-loaded history and adaptive transition speeds for reliable scrub/playback while preserving readable labels and active-signal tooltips. - Expanded **Health/Evolution Signals** visuals with trend dashlets and sparklines, aggregate cards that surface multi-line trends, clearer grouping/labels/filters, and deep links from Signals into capability details. - Enhanced **History Mode** and playback behavior: selected-day display, a "Jump to Now" control, the ability to apply day-specific Health/Evolution overrides without changing live fields, meaningful initial values (including preserved 0% states), and consolidation of same-day changes to avoid misleading transient states. - Made **Evolution statuses** configurable in **Workspace settings** and consistently applied their colors, filters, and legends across graphs and details; default evolution now maps from Idea (0%) to Optimized (100%) with normalized legacy values. - Updated capability detail cards to use shared **KPI** styling and show clear error states when signal history cannot be loaded. --- ## 2026-06-07 **Capability Landscape Timeline** - Seamless editing for today's state: Opening the **Capability Landscape** for the current day automatically restores an editable workspace so you can continue updates without extra steps. - Intentional read-only history for same-day snapshots: Viewing a historical snapshot from today opens in **read-only** mode to prevent accidental edits and preserve the timeline's historical context. --- ## 2026-06-06 **Workspace Settings** - Added a new **Testlab** section under Workspace Settings to centrally manage experimental/beta features. - Introduced toggles to enable/disable **Discovery Learnings**, **External Connections**, and **Feedback Graph** (all toggles are disabled by default) so teams can opt into only the features they need. **Discovery & Feedback** - Let teams hide or show the **Discovery Learnings** experience (tabbed Learnings view and inline learning evidence) and **External Connections** (external source badges and tab) to simplify the Discovery surface for their workflows. - Let teams hide or show the **Feedback Graph** view to streamline the Feedback page when the graph perspective is not required. **Validation & Workflow** - Streamlined hypothesis creation: the top-level **New Hypothesis** button on Discovery has been removed and hypotheses can now be created directly from the Validation Tree context menu to keep creation tied to the relevant Bet. **Usability** - Added a warning prompt to prevent accidental loss of unsaved changes when navigating away from or closing the tab with modified **Testlab** settings. --- ## 2026-06-05 **Workflow Sync & Change Tracking** - Automatic synchronization between **Changes** in **Outcomet** and linked GitHub/Jira work items: status, summary, and description updates now flow to connected tickets and transition their workflow states to match change lifecycles. - More accurate status mapping: closed-but-unmerged GitHub PRs are shown as **Cancelled** in the **Changes** module, and cancelled/failed/rolled-back states map to appropriate Jira cancel states (e.g., "Cancelled"/"Won't Do"), avoiding incorrect "In Progress" or "Done" placements. - Clearer user feedback on sync issues: the change status toast now warns when background synchronization fails to start so teams can act quickly. **Capability Landscape & Timeline** - New compact, responsive timeline for the **Capability Landscape** that lets teams step through capability lifecycles, pick dates from a calendar, jump to now, and play forward—enabling straightforward historical review and scenario exploration. - Historical snapshots now surface capabilities (including soft-deleted ones) as they existed at the selected time while current management workflows remain focused on active capabilities. - Responsive controls and legend behavior: the timeline starts compact and expands only when needed, wraps controls on narrow screens, and the legend adapts or collapses into an icon rail to avoid overlap. **Capability Import & Restore** - Unified **Capability import** dialog supporting **CSV/JSON** with a minimal JSON authoring format (name, description, parent) plus compatibility with exported capability JSON. - Safe, reviewable imports: preview proposed graph/list changes, selectively apply updates, and restore previously deleted capabilities during import review. - Integrity and recoverability safeguards: imports block unresolved parents and parent cycles before writing, automatically roll back partial changes on failure, hide deleted rows from active views while retaining them for re-entry checks, and provide an "Undo last import" action from the capability page. - Improved readability: capability graph labels now place emoji on a separate first line before the label text for clearer visuals. --- ## 2026-06-04 **Feedback & Themes** - **Feedback theme detail cards** now surface **chunk-level status** for linked evidence, so theme and evidence views consistently reflect the current lifecycle state after automated or manual updates. - Actions like linking, merging, creating capabilities, re-analysis, and status changes now trigger more reliable updates to the **feedback graph**, keeping feedback lists, themes, and supporting evidence in sync. --- ## 2026-06-02 **Pull Request Changes** - Pull request change cards now surface **AI-generated summaries** in place of raw PR messages when a fresh summary is available, making it faster to understand intent. - PR change detail views present **AI-generated summaries** alongside contextual **capability suggestions** that you can accept by **linking existing capabilities** or **creating suggested new ones**, reducing manual triage. **Delivery Change Controls** - Delivery change details now include manual controls to **re-run summaries and capability suggestions** and an explicit **reject** action for suggested summaries/capabilities, giving teams direct control over automated recommendations. --- ## 2026-06-01 **Agent Conversation & Onboarding** - New conversations with **Vega** include a compact **strategy & discovery context**, letting the agent surface relevant opportunities, hypotheses, and experiments sooner. **Persistent Workspace Context** - **Polaris** and **Vega** now retain lane-specific **workspace context** across turns, enabling continuous, context-aware assistance and reducing repeated setup or context loss. **UI & Visual polish** - Consistent **avatar** and compact chat bubble rendering across **Vega**, **Polaris**, crew roster entries, and launcher surfaces for clearer identity and visual consistency. - Cleaner layout in the **chat usage panel** with the redundant divider removed between **tools** and **prompt diagnostics**, improving readability and focus. --- ## 2026-05-31 **Agent Roster & Discovery** - Enriched, discoverable specialist profiles for **Nova**, **Polaris**, **Vega**, and **Nexus**, with clear roles, descriptions, and core questions to help people pick the right assistant for the job; **Nexus** remains a background automation agent rather than a directly selectable conversation partner. - Crew page polish for a smoother discovery experience: improved avatar cropping, keyboard accessibility, and reduced empty-state noise. **Launcher & Accessibility** - Updated radial app launcher with **Polaris** as a selectable specialist, a compact dynamic radial layout (defaulting lower-right), improved keyboard navigation, and quieter drag/persistence behavior for more predictable placement. - New per-agent customization and layout controls — including color assignment, spread tuning, and allowed-overlap settings — plus light-theme styling for consistent visibility across themes. **Methods Library & Experiment Creation** - Introduced the searchable **Methods Library** catalog with category rails and target-layer badges across 31 template methods, making it faster to find and compare experiment approaches. - Streamlined experiment creation with a unified two-step wizard: Step 1 selects a method from the catalog; Step 2 uses a premium split-pane editor that shows method visuals and metadata alongside the experiment form, with a "Start without template" fallback. - Upgraded visuals and theme support: template cards and previews now include custom blueprint-style illustrations and native light/dark theme transitions for clearer, more engaging method previews. - Tighter integration across the workflow: visual target-layer badges now appear on Validation Tree nodes and Experiments Kanban cards to make intent and scope visible at-a-glance. - Safer handling of legacy or corrupted templates: experiments created without a template or with missing snapshot data now show a friendly "Custom Template" fallback and a resilient detail view rather than breaking the layout. **Theme Management** - **Theme Learning Synthesis** reliability improvements: resolved an error that could prevent saving auto-synthesized theme learnings to ensure learnings persist reliably. - **Agent Theme Controls**: agents (for example, **Nova**) can now update a theme's lifecycle status and disposition when instructed, simplifying automated theme administration. --- ## 2026-05-30 **Discovery & Validation Tree** - Restructured the **Validation Tree** hierarchy to follow **Bet → Hypothesis → Experiment → Evidence (Feedback/Learning)** so relationships are clearer and empty nodes render directly under their parent **Bet**. - Removed the standalone **Hypotheses** tab to simplify navigation; hypothesis creation remains available via the **New Hypothesis** button and the tree context menus. - Restored accurate experiment filtering in Bet detail views so linked **Experiments** appear correctly. **Viewport & Graph Behavior** - Smoother, more predictable graph navigation: the **Validation Tree** now centers cleanly on load, eliminates visible sliding/jumping when switching bets, and preserves user pan/zoom when opening detail views. - Added a focused 'maximize' control for intentionally centering on root elements and removed the automatic layout-rearrangement control to reduce unexpected layout changes. **Context Menus & Linking** - Simplified node menus: left-click opens details so context menus no longer include redundant "View Details", and destructive "Delete" actions were removed to prevent accidental removals. - Replaced deletes with safe **Unlink** actions for common relationships (e.g., Bet↔Capability, Bet↔Opportunity, Hypothesis↔Bet, Experiment↔Bet, Feedback/Learning↔Experiment) so users can detach links without losing entities. - Expanded **Experiment** actions to let users link existing items or create-and-attach new **Hypotheses**, **Feedback**, and **Learnings** inline; added capability-linking from Bets. **Methods Library & Templates** - Added a browsable **Methods Library** modal with search, category filters, and target-layer badges across 31 template methods to help teams discover and apply proven discovery techniques quickly. - Templates now include rich visual previews and badges for target layers (problem, solution, technical, commercial, commitment); those target-layer badges appear across Validation Tree nodes and **Experiments** Kanban cards and can be edited from the item details pane. - Quick-create integration: open the Methods Library from page actions and use it as the source when creating new experiment templates for a smoother browse-to-create experience. **Sidebar & Navigation** - Streamlined the Validation Tree sidebar: compact header, search relocated to the footer, improved typography for Opportunity headings, and inline evolution percentages replace the horizontal progress bar for a cleaner list view. - Persisted the selected **Bet** across page refreshes and navigation by syncing selection with the URL and local state, so users return to the same Bet after navigation. **Visual Styling & Layout** - Standardized node colors for clarity: **Feedback** nodes are Indigo/Blue and **Learning** nodes are Green to avoid theme color bleed and improve readability. - Fixed layout alignment in the Experiments tab so page headers, KPIs, filters, and Kanban columns align consistently to the design grid. **Agent Experience & Conversation UI** - Updated the **Agent** conversation selector with a compact, scrollable dropdown and chat-history icon for faster thread switching. - Made the app launcher persistent while the agent panel is open so users can access the launcher without interrupting conversations. - Simplified the **Agent Chat** panel metrics into a single horizontal banner and replaced client-side cost estimates with server-backed transaction costs to display accurate billing information. **Platform Robustness** - Improved behavior in Safari private mode so state persistence no longer causes application errors. --- ## 2026-05-29 **Validation Tree & Graph** - Replaced the old Pipeline view with an interactive, full-bleed **Validation Tree** graph that visualizes Opportunities, selected **Bets**, linked **Capabilities**, and nested Experiment validation trees with radial progress indicators. - Nodes are fully interactive: clicking opens contextual detail slides and the canvas supports drag-and-drop rearrangement for evidence flow and relationship discovery. - UI clarity improvements include a floating header and filters bar, a consistent bottom-right horizontal legend, and restored graph controls for predictable interaction. **Bets & Sidebar Navigation** - Introduced a compact, floating **Bets** panel that groups items by parent **Opportunity**, unifies unassigned items under a single "Unassigned Opportunities" header, and provides search and progress bars for fast navigation. - Opportunity groups are collapsible to reduce clutter, and primary creation of **Bets** is now handled inline from the page header for a more focused workflow. **Experiments & Kanban Workflow** - Rebuilt the Experiments view into a full-featured **Kanban** board with five validation stages (Backlog, Designed, Running, Analyzing, Concluded) and drag-and-drop status updates to simplify lifecycle management. - Experiment cards now surface key details at a glance—objectives, method/type badges, linked **Bets**/**Hypotheses**, cost/duration estimates, learning counters, and external integration indicators—so teams can triage and act faster. - Added many-to-many linking between **Bets**, **Hypotheses**, and **Experiments**, and consolidated insights into the generic **Feedback** stream for a single source of truth for learnings. **Detail Sheets & Interaction Model** - Standardized slide-out detail sheets across **Opportunities**, **Bets**, **Experiments**, **Hypotheses**, and **Capabilities** with inline title editing and consistent relation management to reduce context switching. - Non-modal sheets now close on outside click and allow the background board to receive that same click in a single interaction, improving speed of navigation and editing. - Feedback and Learnings are now presented as in-stack sliding panes within Experiment and Hypothesis details, preserving a simple back-navigation flow and keeping context while drilling in. - Relationship sections gained collapse controls plus search, sort, and density options so users can scale detail views to their workflow. **Content & Metadata Enhancements** - Replaced plain-text inputs with rich markdown editors for Objectives and Results to support structured, readable experiment artifacts. - Streamlined metadata display to surface the most relevant fields (Type, Status, Evidence Strength, Cost, Duration, Created At, Updated At) without duplication, and fixed learning selector labeling for clearer reporting. **Visual Consistency & Iconography** - Harmonized icons and color language across **Discovery** and **Strategy**: **Bet** now uses the **Coins** icon with a unified blue styling; other entities (e.g., Experiments, Hypotheses) have standardized prefix icons and colors to improve visual scanning. -
