[2026-06-10] the operator IS the product
  - Dashboard retired. build.hapex.ai now opens straight into your
    Operator: one canvas, one chat, your agents orbiting it. Every
    old /dashboard URL redirects to its Operator equivalent.
  - Canvas redesign: glass instrument-panel tool tiles with corner
    status badges and hover lift, HUD corner brackets on sub-agent
    cards with running/idle/done/failed chips, a rotating scan ring
    on the avatar while it works, glass pill nav tabs.
  - Chat message queueing: type while the Operator is mid-reply and
    your messages stack as queued bubbles, then auto-send in order.
  - Gmail and other read results now collapse to a one-line summary
    you tap to expand, instead of dumping raw data into the chat.

[2026-06-09] the operator learns, plans, and heals itself
  - Initiative layer: the Operator now sets multi-step plans (a real
    dependency graph, not a todo list), works them in the background
    on a 15-minute sweep, and greets you at 7am with a morning brief
    plus automation suggestions grounded in your actual usage.
  - Nightly memory consolidation at 3am: new facts get promoted,
    repeated ones corroborated, contradictions resolved, stale ones
    decayed. Your Operator's memory gets sharper while you sleep.
  - Self-healing runs: a failed agent run now diagnoses itself.
    Transient errors retry on a delay, config errors notify you with
    the concrete fix, capability gaps retry once on a smarter tier.
  - Always-on worker fixed: scheduled wakeups now run on a real Redis
    queue with a heartbeat and a /healthz/worker probe.
  - Security hardening pass: per-client spend caps tightened, rate
    limits on learn and naming endpoints, tool results capped, and
    untrusted content framed against prompt injection.
  - Prompt caching on the Operator loop: ~90% input-token savings on
    every conversation turn.
  - New eval harness scores the APEx routing tiers on 15 real
    operator tasks; tier-3 routing re-verified against the table.
  - x.post capability: agents can draft posts to the Hapex X account,
    gated behind owner approval like every other send.
  - 591+ passing tests.

[2026-05-19] dream lab loop + chat self-extension + brand connectors
  - hapex.dream schema fix: test_runs.ok was a phantom column. Now
    derives ok = status === "success" and filters out queued/running
    rows. Healthy agents now get a "skip dreaming" recommendation so
    a Claude reflection never burns tokens on a 100%-success agent.
  - Dream lab is now a true loop: one click reflects, returns
    structured suggestions (style_note / schedule / description /
    name) with per-card Apply buttons that write straight to plan_json.
  - New chat tool suggest_new_agent: out-of-scope asks now surface a
    gradient "Build a dedicated agent" CTA with a deep-link prefilling
    the builder, instead of the agent making something up.
  - New chat tool add_capability: in-chat green card proposes the
    closest matching capability with reasoning. Apply button splices
    it into plan_json (no planner round-trip). Cinematic overlay
    types out the extend transcript.
  - Live cron-run step pills on /dashboard/automations/.../history.
    cost_events rows render as the same ToolList pills the chat uses.
  - In-chat date parser: NASA APOD agent answers "what about May 17"
    by routing the parsed date through APOD_DATE.
  - Shopify, HubSpot, Mailchimp OAuth connectors live with real brand
    logos. Slack + Microsoft sign-in working end-to-end.
  - Owner mode: error log force-dynamic + per-source filters + Tell
    Claude feedback widget that writes to error_events.
  - 319 passing tests (+22 since last entry).

[2026-05-18] gitignore-build-trap fix + 67 more tests
  - /api/build was silently swallowed by a bare `build/` rule in
    .gitignore. Force-added the route, tightened the ignore to
    `/build/ + */build/`. /api/build/stream now returns 401 JSON
    instead of 404 HTML.
  - Building.tsx checks content-type before opening the SSE reader.
    Hangs on garbage HTML are gone.
  - Connections page Google scope set narrowed to spreadsheets.readonly
    so the "app not verified" warning stops triggering on the
    verified production project.
  - Theme reverted to pre-revamp (radii, palette, page headers).
    Fonts (Inter, Instrument Serif) + paper-grain background kept.
  - 297 passing tests (+67): whatsapp, x.post, hubspot.read,
    calendly, mailchimp, shopify, square, elevenlabs, github.read.

[2026-05-17] Phase K  49 commits  18→230 tests
  - cmd+k command palette across the dashboard.
  - Grouped sidebar with `g a` / `g c` / `g s` / `g r` / `g p`
    keyboard shortcuts.
  - Per-agent run-history sparkline + today pulse on /dashboard.
  - Quick triggers (12/agent) that prefill the chat input.
  - Build screen progress bar + live elapsed counter from SSE.
  - Connections search + filters; status counts in header.
  - New pages: /dashboard/activity, /dashboard/templates,
    ? for shortcuts dialog, one-time what's-new banner.
  - 8 no-auth capabilities: rss.read, hackernews.read,
    github.activity.read, wikipedia.featured.read,
    youtube.channel.read, nasa.apod.read, crypto.price.read,
    public.holidays.read. Templates wired for each.
  - Bug fixes: unknown-capability crash silently → logged step_error;
    OAuth callback crashed on non-JSON token responses; linq
    normalizer mangled phone numbers with internal spaces.

[2026-05-16] Phase J  agent-of-agents primitives
  - hapex.self.update: agent rewrites its own row from a run.
  - hapex.dream: introspection step over recent test_runs.
  - mcp.invoke: JSON-RPC tools/call against any MCP server.

[2026-05-15] Phase F + Wave 2  reliability + 17 connectors
  - Auto-retry with 1s/5s/30s backoff on transient errors.
  - Circuit breaker: 3 consecutive failures auto-pause the agent.
  - In-product notifications: bell icon surfaces run failures,
    auto-pauses, first successes, budget warnings, reauth.
  - Connectors: Shopify, WhatsApp, HubSpot contact write,
    Mailchimp, Square, X.com, TextBee SMS, ntfy push,
    ElevenLabs, Reddit, weather, ICS calendar, Notion write,
    Google Sheets write, Discord, Telegram, Twilio.

[2026-05-13] Stripe live, custom checkout
  - Stripe live-mode wired with branded pay.hapex.ai domain.
  - Google OAuth verified the same week; the "unverified app"
    warning is no longer shown on Continue-with-Google.
