A condensed history of recent user-facing changes.

2026-04-03

Help, onboarding, and test coverage polish.

• Help modal (? key) with four tabs: Usage, AI Modes, Shortcuts, FAQ. Fully translated (English / Korean).
• Interactive onboarding tour — 2-phase guided walkthrough (3 + 5 steps) with arrow-key navigation and a “restart from Settings” path.
• Settings modal redesign — AI connection status indicator, cache clear button, code-editor font-size slider (10–24 px).
• File type icons — Material Symbols mapped per extension across the explorer, breadcrumb, and semantic panels.
• Semantic breadcrumb improvements — dropdowns now show child nodes of each level for direct navigation.
• Terminology — user-facing label “skeleton” replaced with “code structure summary” throughout. Default cap raised from 150 KB to 250 KB.
• Drill-down path matching fix — resolved a mismatch between AI-returned paths and the local file tree for nested projects.

2026-04-01

MVP deployment.

• Production launch at ropeman.dev on a custom domain.
• Tab / pane UX — drill-down now reuses the existing diagram tab; code tabs open on the opposite pane in split view; empty split panes auto-collapse.
• Light-theme hero color fix.
• Ctrl+Shift+V now toggles the sidebar panel (Files / Semantic) instead of cycling tabs.

2026-03-31 (Loading & Cache UX)

Loading UX, landing redesign, semantic cache stabilization.

• Unified loading UX — analysis progress card and a status bar showing zoom, minimap, connection state, and version.
• WebGPU cache verification — model weights persist across reloads and restore instantly on the next visit.
• Stable analysis cache — analysis results restore automatically without re-calling the AI.
• Semantic node highlight — selected node is visually emphasized while the rest dim.
• Light theme polish — missing color tokens added; hardcoded color values cleaned up.
• Landing page redesign — Multi-Track AI feature card and refined language icon row.

2026-03-31 (Design Standardization)

The “Obsidian Architect” design applied across the app.

• 17 shared component classes added to the global stylesheet; every modal migrated to the shared classes.
• Main layout polish — 48 px header, 48 px icon bar + content panel sidebar, recalibrated canvas background.
• Semantic node redesign — 256 px width, accent bar, uppercase titles, tinted badges, glow on selection.
• Empty-state design — large headline, SVG dashed dropzone, supported-language pills.
• Material Symbols Outlined font integrated; emoji icons replaced across the app.
• Symbol Sidebar toggle added to Settings (default off).

2026-03-30

Design system foundation.

• Obsidian Architect palette — 7-level surface hierarchy, no-line rule (regions separated by surface tone, not borders), Space Grotesk + Inter + JetBrains Mono typography.
• Glassmorphism modals — backdrop-blur applied to every modal.
• Semantic node accent bar — surface-container-high background with a colored left accent bar.
• Reactive state stabilization — semantic tree now updates live whenever the analysis cache changes.
