Changelog

The cycle that made starting a session fast again, and stopped hosted projects hitting dead ends

• Opening a session is fast again. The first read of your project used to pull the whole board five times over and could time out; it now takes a single pass.
• Hosted projects no longer hit dead ends on features that work locally. PAPI asks your connection what it genuinely supports instead of guessing.
• Settings has one Connections tab: your tools, endpoint, keys, linked repo and connection health in one place, with a live status dot in the header.
• Coming back after time away, PAPI tells you how long you have been gone and names the work waiting for you instead of showing an id.

The cycle that put a second lock on your private work, and proved the first one was the only one holding

• Your private tasks and docs are now protected by the database itself, not just the app - a second lock behind the first.
• Project settings pages work again, reachable straight from each project card.
• Your personal queue is now "Needs You", and the nav says Admin where it used to say Owner.
• Creating tasks no longer fails on bigger projects.

The cycle that made "fixed" mean fixed, and gave your docs somewhere durable to live

• Your registered docs now keep their content. A doc living in a gitignored folder survives a branch switch or a stash, and doc_read restores it byte for byte.
• PAPI no longer marks an issue fixed just because the task that found it closed. Fixed now means someone actually fixed it, so expect your open count to jump the first time you look.
• Found a problem and fixed it in the same session? Record it as fixed on the spot, instead of filing a task just to close it a minute later.
• A new Discoveries tab charts caught against fixed across every cycle, so you can see whether your quality loop is closing or just filling up.

When something goes wrong, PAPI now tells you what and why

• When a connection fails, PAPI tells you the actual reason and the one thing to do about it, instead of guessing that you skipped sign-in.
• Project analytics show that project's numbers; some pages were quietly reporting totals from across every project.
• Links inside a project stay inside it, so Decisions, Roadmap and Time Machine no longer drop you into a different project.
• After three failed attempts on the same task, PAPI stops and asks you how to proceed rather than trying again the same way.

Everything waiting on you now lands in one place on your hub

• One card on your hub collects everything waiting on you, instead of the same signals scattered across three separate places.
• Switching cycles on the board keeps you inside your own project instead of bouncing you out of it.
• Buttons and status colours across the dashboard hold their contrast properly, so nothing important is hard to read.
• The runbook your assistant reads to install PAPI now leads with what PAPI does for your project, not with what PAPI is.

A rebuilt landing page and demo, first-run guidance, and cleaner settings

• The getpapi.ai landing page is fully rebuilt, with a self-playing plan, build, review, release loop and a live on-the-record decision board.
• The product demo at /try is now a side-by-side walkthrough: type a command on the left, watch your hub react on the right.
• First time you open your hub, quick pointers show where your decisions live, that tasks expand on click, and how to fill your backlog.
• Your settings are split into clear sections (account, projects, keys, feedback), so finding what you need is faster.

Faster session starts and more reliable commits

• Starting a session is faster and no longer stalls on projects with a long history.
• Finishing a task now saves every file you changed into that task's commit, so nothing is left behind half-committed.
• Fixed issues can be cleared from your alerts, so resolved items stop reappearing every session.

Per-project URLs, maintenance reminders, and PAPI building in the open

• Your hub, board, and strategy pages now live at their own per-project web addresses, so you can bookmark or share a link straight to a project.
• Your toolkit now flags maintenance that is due, like an overdue strategy review or security check, so nothing quietly slips.
• Strategy reviews now push back only when your data warrants it, with no nagging on a clean cycle.
• The getpapi.ai site now shows a live feed of what PAPI ships and learns, straight from real cycles.

Run the whole cycle your way, with or without git

• Run the full plan, build, review and release cycle even without a git repo. Your work stays safe in your project database, with a clear note at every step.
• Skip the git ceremony you do not want. New switches turn off automatic branches, commits, or pull requests so PAPI fits how you work.
• See every bug and idea you have reported, with its current status, in one place.
• Invite teammates from the dashboard or straight from your assistant, and the Team plan is now purchasable.

Review acceptance works again for big builds

• Accepting a review now returns a short confirmation instead of echoing the whole build back, so large builds no longer jam the accept step.
• Finishing a build now checks the handoff's acceptance criteria before the task can close.
• Release sweeps open pull requests first and flags unmerged work before closing the cycle.
• Stray background PAPI processes left over from old sessions get cleaned up automatically.

A quieter hub and one honest install path

• The hub sheds noise: fewer panels, a clearer next move, and open issues surfaced where you plan.
• Connect and setup copy no longer assumes which AI tool you build in.
• The docs now agree with themselves on how to install and connect.
• Going Pro from the homepage takes you straight to checkout.
