Changelog
A record of how OrbitOS is evolving — one release at a time.
August 2026
Operational Tiers & Billing
Introduced four subscription tiers with per-tier resource limits enforced at the server boundary. Integrated PayFast checkout with a signed webhook for subscription state reconciliation.
Calendar Feed Subscriptions
Personal calendar feeds now publish over a signed, revocable token to any iCalendar client. Feed URLs are generated per operator and can be rotated without disturbing workspace state.
Availability Resolution Engine
Implemented free/busy computation and open-slot discovery across workspace personnel, giving scheduling a deterministic source of truth.
Event Management System
Deployed the project calendar with day, week, and month projections, a structured event creation flow, collision-aware layout, and validated event schemas backed by dedicated Firestore indexes.
Settings Console
Consolidated general, workspace, notification, and security controls into a unified settings surface built on a shared primitive set.
Preference & Theme Layer
Added light, dark, and system colour modes applied before first paint, alongside reduced-motion, 24-hour clock, and manual presence overrides persisted per operator.
Session & Perimeter Hardening
Moved authentication to httpOnly session cookies with middleware-enforced route guards, validated redirect targets, and an expanded permission matrix across every server action.
Telemetry Stream Guard
Rebuilt the activity stream endpoint with throttling and backpressure protection to keep long-lived connections stable under sustained workspace load.
Marketing Surface Unification
Extracted shared navigation and footer chrome across all public pages, and introduced generated OpenGraph imagery for link previews.
Data Integrity Backfill
Shipped a backfill routine alongside expanded Firestore rules and indexes to normalise historical records against the current schema.
July 2026
System Explorer
Introduced the project file explorer with server-side listing actions, giving each project a navigable document surface.
Signed Asset Uploads
Moved file ingestion to signature-authorised uploads, removing credential exposure from the client.
Download Path Correction
Resolved cross-origin download failures by resolving stored secure URLs directly and detecting resource type for document formats.
Command Center
Deployed the live operations feed with throttled activity streaming and scroll-aware notification handling.
Multi-Assignee Directive System
Directives now support multiple assigned operators, with task creation, editing, and personnel telemetry updated to reflect shared ownership.
Chronological Stream Integrity
Enforced explicit timestamp ordering with top-down flow and restored smooth auto-scroll on the activity feed.
June 2026
Project Priority List
Established the project dashboard architecture with formal data models, server actions, and priority-ordered workspace views.
Project Lifecycle Actions
Implemented rename, archive, priority reassignment, and cascading deletion as authorised server-side operations.
Personnel Hub
Introduced member workload visualisation and operational status reporting across the workspace roster.
Authentication Surfaces
Rebuilt the login and workspace registration flows to match the Architectural Void system.
May 2026
Dashboard Orchestration Service
Centralised dashboard composition behind a single orchestration layer, separating view assembly from data retrieval.
Team Management
Delivered the dedicated team page with member administration and hardened removal actions.
Member Invitation Dispatch
Wired the invitation dialog to transactional email delivery over a verified sending domain.
Automated Daily Digest
Scheduled a morning digest email summarising outstanding directives and workspace movement.
Next.js 15 Migration
Upgraded the application framework and dependency surface, aligning routing and server action contracts with the current release.
Workload & Profile Controls
Added the team workload card and operator profile interface for self-service identity management.
File Access Enforcement
Scoped project file read access to verified organisational membership at the rules layer.
Brand Identity Assets
Introduced the application icon and branding assets across the product and public surfaces.
April 2026
Workspace Security Hardening
Migrated member invitations to atomic server-side transactions. Implemented identity parity validation to prevent unauthorized privilege escalation.
Collaborative Directive Log
Unlocked task note contributions for all workspace members. Hardened Firestore security rules to permit operational updates while maintaining strict organizational isolation.
Architectural Void Evolution
Finalized the transition to a high-fidelity monochromatic aesthetic. Purged legacy accent colors in favor of a curated silver-white and black design system.
Destructive Protocol Stabilization
Standardized warning modals and confirmation flows for system-wide deletions. Improved state management and error feedback during resource removal.
Integrated Directive Deletion
Implemented secure task removal capabilities for both owners and authorized members within the Master Objective List.
Telemetry Feed Optimization
Enhanced real-time activity logs with high-fidelity glow effects and Bold Metadata Terminology for improved operational clarity.
Identity & Access Stabilization
Reworked authentication flow to prevent cross-workspace identity corruption. Strengthened role enforcement across the system.
Real-Time Workspace Sync
Introduced live profile syncing. Workspace state now updates instantly without requiring refresh.
Project Deletion Protocol
Implemented secure server-side cascade deletion with confirmation safeguards.
Operational Dashboard Refinement
Improved task visibility and clarified project-task relationships.
Design System Alignment
Unified UI under the Architectural Void system. Removed legacy color inconsistencies.
Methodology Page
Introduced OrbitOS methodology as a structured operational philosophy.
Stay Synchronized
Follow our progress as we refine the architectural operating system for digital studios.
