🚀 Improvements

• TODO Checklist - See App2's progress in real-time with visual task checklists. Watch as tasks are automatically checked off when completed, with status indicators showing pending, in-progress, and completed items. Makes it easy to track what App2 is working on and what's already done.

• Faster AI Reasoning - Upgraded to GPT-5 Mini across the platform for significantly faster processing and more cost-effective operations. This means quicker Figma imports, faster intent detection, and smoother file analysis with 58% cost reduction.

• More Reliable Figma Imports - Moved Figma import processing to background jobs for better reliability and scalability. Long-running imports now process seamlessly without timeouts, with real-time progress updates keeping you informed every step of the way. Import designs with 50+ screens without worrying about timeouts. Project creation and code generation also use background processing for unlimited duration, and you can cancel operations even before they start executing.

• Enhanced Figma Import Progress - See exactly what's happening during your Figma import with detailed progress tracking:

  • Live scene-by-scene analysis updates showing which screens are being processed

  • Clear visibility into context generation and prompt preparation stages

  • Expandable scene list to track each analyzed screen

  • Automatic retry handling for transient errors - imports recover gracefully without manual intervention

  • Completed steps now show past tense (e.g., "Analyzed" instead of "Analyzing") for clearer progress indication

• Smarter Error Recovery - Figma imports now automatically retry when encountering temporary issues like network errors. You'll see a notification if a retry is happening, but most issues resolve themselves without disrupting your workflow.

• Enhanced Chat Experience - Improved how directory listings are displayed in chat. When Claude lists files, you now see an interactive file tree with folder icons, file type indicators, and collapsible directories - making it much easier to understand project structure at a glance.

• Live Preview Updates - Preview servers now automatically restart after each code generation, ensuring you always see your latest changes without manual refresh.

• Always-Accessible Preview Controls - Preview toolbar is now always visible, even during loading or error states. You can restart or recreate sandboxes at any time without waiting for preview to load, giving you control to fix stuck states immediately.

• Clearer AI Mode Behavior - Improved how AI responds when using different chat modes (Debug, Plan, Review, Docs). The AI now focuses more clearly on your actual request instead of mixing mode instructions with your task, leading to more accurate and helpful responses.

• Clearer Status Messages - Know exactly what's happening. When your sandbox needs to wake up, you'll now see "Starting sandbox" instead of a confusing "Analyzing..." message. This gives you better visibility into what's actually happening during code generation.

• Better Community Discovery - Web-based project cards now display project categories alongside mobile app cards, making it easier to find projects in your area of interest when browsing the community gallery.

• Accurate User Identification - Chat avatars now correctly display the initials of the person who sent each message, not the currently logged-in user. This is especially helpful when viewing shared projects or working in collaborative workspaces.

• Faster Project Creation - New projects now build faster with optimized background processing. Message simplification runs independently, improving reliability, and reducing wait times during initial project setup.

• Improved Code Generation Performance - Code generation operations complete more quickly by processing message simplification in the background instead of blocking. This means you see your code changes faster and can iterate more efficiently.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue where Figma import modal would show stale data when reopening after a completed import

• Corrected scene count display during Figma imports to accurately show progress (e.g., "15 of 15" instead of "14 of 15")

• Fixed workspace projects list not updating immediately after deleting a Figma project

• Improved project creation reliability by preventing orphaned resources when background tasks fail to start

• Fixed issue where attempting to cancel a project or code generation immediately after starting wouldn't work

• Fixed preview servers not showing latest code changes after multiple code generation requests

• Improved handling of cancelled operations

• Fixed issue where preview toolbar would be hidden off-screen when visibility banners were shown

• Fixed preview failing to start after resuming stopped sandboxes due to missing dependencies

• Resolved layout issues where banners would push important controls below the viewport

• Improved privacy protection for deleted projects - deleted projects are no longer accessible via direct links

• Fixed issue where REVIEW mode sessions would fail behind the scenes with "empty commit" errors when pushing to GitHub

• Fixed an issue where simplified message explanations would sometimes fail to generate, especially for long conversations. Currently monitoring for potential regressions.

• Fixed Session Persistence - Your session now stays active even after leaving the app open overnight. When you return to a tab that's been idle for hours, the app automatically refreshes your authentication in the background, so you can pick up right where you left off without having to sign in again.

• Smoother Performance - Reduced unnecessary background requests by 95% when working on projects. The app now intelligently manages data updates, resulting in faster load times and a more responsive experience throughout your workflow.

• Fixed BYOK Validation - Fixed an issue where validating your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Azure API keys would fail. You can now successfully connect your own LLM credentials to use with App2Dev.

• Reliable Sandbox Resumption - Resuming a previously stopped sandbox now works smoothly even when you have uncommitted changes. The app automatically preserves your work by committing it to GitHub before syncing, so you never lose progress and can pick up exactly where you left off.

• Better Error Messages - Fixed an issue where permission errors would incorrectly ask you to sign in again. When you try to access a project or workspace you don't have permission for, you now see a clear "Access Denied" message instead of being sent back to the login page.
