July 2026
Design approvals, durable project history, and ForGrit Cloud publishing
The design step now shows live A/B/C variant previews with compare and approve-to-freeze. Project history is event-sourced end to end. Deploys now publish through ForGrit Cloud.
- Design step renders live A/B/C variant previews with side-by-side compare and approve-to-freeze
- Event-sourced project journey — every step transition is durably recorded and rebuildable
- Deploys now publish through ForGrit Cloud
- Build page gates the Deploy call-to-action on a verified deployment manifest
- Durable outbox for project events
- Contract storage normalized — approved contracts reconstruct from rows instead of JSON blobs
- Intake sessions are linked to their project at the moment of consumption
- Design freeze failures now fully restore the prior approval state
- Quality-console statistics views repaired after contract-storage changes
- Legacy deployment choices removed — ForGrit Cloud is the managed launch experience
April 2026
Q1 + Q2 close — multi-stack codegen, deploy hardening, marketplace foundation
Closed out Q1 (codegen reliability) and Q2 (foundations for ownership + entitlements). Project Generator now ships full-stack monorepo codegen alongside webapp; deploy management covers rollback, custom domains, and environment variables; admin credit audit landed with anomaly detection across 6 buckets. Foundation for marketplace listings + organization-scoped billing now in place.
- Full-stack monorepo codegen (apps/web + apps/api + packages/shared) — same prompt, two stacks, deterministic
- Live preview gallery — pick prompt + variant, see app running before commit
- Marketplace browse landing page (public, listings shipping post-launch)
- Admin: per-user / per-job / subsidy / anomaly drill-downs for the credit ledger
- Full-stack codegen jobs now use warm-pool clones — saves ~80 seconds per job
- Daily monitoring routines: BILLING drift + per-quarter gate-status aggregator + weekly engine harness
- macOS notification layer for deploy + drift alerts
- User-facing credit audit page — month summary, per-job table, estimated badge
- Deploy button on build-complete now correctly opens publishing review
- Pipeline status reflects job-level success when auto-fix loops recover
- Direct shorthand URLs (/settings, /billing, /projects, /golden-suite) redirect to dashboard equivalents
- Q1 + Q2 completion tracker formally closed with monitored backlog
Credit ledger Phase 1 — typed columns, admin audit, anomaly detection
Migrated the credit ledger from JSON-bag metadata to typed columns. Every credit row now carries category / subcategory / jobId / stepId / actualInr / status / failure-policy as first-class fields. Admin audit dashboard surfaces per-user rollups, per-job drill-downs, subsidy buckets, and a 6-bucket anomaly classifier (refund-without-original, drift-outlier, duplicate-step-charge, negative-balance, missing-typed-columns, unknown).
- Per-user spend dashboard with month summary + per-job table + estimated cost badge
- Admin: 4-tab credit ledger audit (per-user, per-job, subsidy, anomalies)
- 6-bucket anomaly classifier with severity ladder (info / warn / critical)
- Indexed credit_transactions on (jobId, createdAt) and (parentTransactionId) for sub-second queries
- ESLint chokepoint blocks direct prisma.creditTransaction.create calls outside CreditsService
- D2 migration: 12 new typed columns on credit_transactions; metadata JSON kept as forward-compat residual
- BILLING category daily cron — subscription fees post on a 14-day zero-drift observation window
Codegen V2 + reliability hardening
Project Generator now runs on the V2 pipeline by default. Single master flag, no sub-flags, no version stamping. Webapp generation reliability hardened with circuit-breaker auto-fix loops, build-check gates, and golden-path harness coverage across 6 archetypes. Workspace warm-pool clones cut per-job install time from ~7 minutes to ~30 seconds.
- Codegen V2 default-on for webapp + full-stack
- Auto-fix loop with circuit-breaker — bypass on cycle threshold rather than infinite retry
- Workspace warm-pool: pre-built node_modules per stack — install path skipped for ~95% of jobs
- Full-stack codegen: standardized @fullstack/* package scope so warm-pool clones now cover monorepo too
- Nightly golden-path harness scaffold (5 fixtures × 6 archetypes) — data-gated for trailing-7d reliability signal
- Stack adapter audit: catalog-vs-registry invariant test, scaffold-manifest contract, plan-aware shippedFiles
- CODEGEN_COMPILE_CHECK + AUTO_FIX failure cascade resolved (root-causes shipped on main pre-Q1)
- PREPARE_REPO and step reaper edge cases that were producing stuck jobs
