Pyips Changelog

• Pyips Live verification accounts use reserved run-bound addresses and are erased after each run unless signup was definitively refused; ambiguous signup keeps guarded recovery, and older verifier accounts remain subject to an operator sweep.
• Pyips AI builder commits no longer carry AI co-author or session attribution, and task closeout refuses AI-marked messages, branch commits, or identities.
• Pyips Handoff reviewers can check each named requirement against its exact supporting assertion before final verification and see which tool, model, and reasoning level prepared the report, taken from the operator's start prompt when given.
• Pyips Pyips now stops task and release records carrying AI attribution from being published, and keeps them available for inspection.
• Pyips Git history no longer contains AI attribution lines or historical release ZIPs, and release records point at the rewritten commits.
• Flow The server now deletes legacy format-0 receipts on its next update and reads history only from compact payloads, so old snapshots cannot revive expired Undo.

• Flow When task selection actions stay available beside an open task, the modal's Close control remains clickable and closing it preserves the selected actions.

• Pyips Frontend releases now validate one fingerprinted private Admin bundle with Bash 4.4-compatible checks before changing live public pages, rejecting malformed or altered bundles safely.

• Pyips The browser now downloads admin controls and operational alerts only for authorized admins; other visitors receive the smaller public app, and admin endpoints answer unauthorized requests with the same 404 as unknown routes.
• Pyips Pyips change notes now retain earlier user-visible improvements when follow-up work adds new behavior, and reviewers check for omissions before accepting the result.
• Pyips Flow visitors see a truthful beta and backup reminder with a direct route to Data & backups, while mobile layouts keep the action beside readable copy.
• Flow Flow's developer controls now load only for authorized administrators, so ordinary visitors receive the smaller public application without those controls.
• Flow Flow now shows a beta and backup reminder with a direct Data & backups shortcut, mobile-friendly layout, and accurate wording after account or browser-session changes.
• Pyips Release certification now exercises manifest-certified private Admin bundles while keeping them out of public hosted output, and Admin handlers remain safe when identity changes remove their controls.
• Flow Release certification now waits for the authorized Admin control to mount from its private bundle and reports bundle request failures directly, so delayed or failed delivery is diagnosed by the browser regression.

• Pyips Live release verification now checks that the public changelog's current entry is the newest Pyips release, so a correct unified changelog is no longer rejected for showing the Pyips version instead of the Flow app version.
• Flow Empty Flow sections now show a compact, centred "No Tasks Yet / Click To Add A Task" button near the top instead of one that filled most of the section, and it still opens the same new-task form.
• Pyips The public changelog now names the specific Flow and Pyips changes in releases 0.2.76 through 0.2.80, replacing the generic technical-updates line, and marks those descriptions as added retrospectively.
• Flow Screen readers and speech-control users now hear the empty-section button's visible words "No Tasks Yet Click To Add A Task" at the start of its name, followed by the section-specific action.
• Pyips Pyips task closeout now checks that certified Flow notes remain an unchanged prefix, preventing release-note reordering from reaching main.

• Flow Empty Flow sections now show a full-width Add first task button that opens the same new-task form as the section's + button, so you can start a task without finding the header control.
• Flow Subtasks can now be dragged only by their grip handle, so selecting or editing text in a subtask's note no longer moves the subtask by accident.
• Flow Task windows no longer close when you select text inside them and release the mouse over the dimmed background, while a deliberate click outside a task window still closes it.
• Flow Settings now has separate switches to hide the colored edge accents on task cards and on sections, and turning one off leaves the other unchanged.
• Pyips Finished changes now need their own specific changelog sentence before task closeout is accepted, and a Flow release with no new specific notes is refused instead of publishing generic filler.
• Flow The in-app Changelog now links to the full Pyips changelog instead of showing its own older Flow-only list.
• Pyips The public changelog at pyips.com/changelog now lists Pyips and app changes together, labeled by product, and each finished change gets its own specific entry.
• Pyips The release gate's Flow startup listener check now matches the current Settings edge-accent switches and their cross-tab sync, so the v0.2.81 certification no longer fails on a stale listener count.
• Pyips The release gate's Space session browser check no longer fails at random after a page reload, so a passing check now reflects the Space session's real behavior.
• Pyips Finished changes are no longer refused for products they did not touch, documentation-only work now closes with the quick documentation check, and every handoff arrives with a ready-to-paste builder prompt.

• Flow Task and subtask context-menu copy actions now read Copy as JSON, so the output format is clear.
• Pyips Release sessions stop and report failed product or test checks instead of editing tracked files to make certification pass.
• Pyips Release records now list the source commits behind each release, including changes that had no matching handoff.

Some descriptions for this release were added retrospectively on this page; the certified release notes are unchanged.

• Flow This release made no user-visible Flow change: a Copy as JSON label change was reverted before release and shipped in v0.2.80 instead.

Some descriptions for this release were added retrospectively on this page; the certified release notes are unchanged.

• Flow Section drag scrolling near the top and bottom edges of the screen now starts earlier, making offscreen sections easier to reach.

Some descriptions for this release were added retrospectively on this page; the certified release notes are unchanged.

• Flow Stopped task-detail scrolling from moving the board underneath, and section drags now scroll toward offscreen section targets.
• Flow Corrected the automatic Done-section default used when completed tasks are moved.
• Flow Moved task tags below the Board and Section fields in the task editor.
• Pyips Corrected shared browser-test cleanup so test sessions are recognized and no longer cause false certification failures.

Some descriptions for this release were added retrospectively on this page; the certified release notes are unchanged.

• Flow Flow restores current format-12 backups; older backup formats are no longer supported.
• Flow Added an Add new tasks to top setting, on by default, that places new parent tasks before existing tasks in their section; turn it off to add them after existing tasks.
• Flow New tasks placed at the top keep their insertion order when concurrent edits are saved.
• Flow Saves are blocked after an unreadable workspace read until you confirm a valid format-12 backup restore, which prevents accidental overwrites of your data.
• Pyips Reworked release packages to record Flow app versions and keep version history intact across rollbacks.
• Pyips Rebuilt the testing and task-closeout workflow so proof is kept and failed checks are reported instead of silently bypassed.

Some descriptions for this release were added retrospectively on this page; the certified release notes are unchanged.

• Flow Fixed authenticated task and sub-task title editing so a momentarily empty field can no longer send an invalid workspace to Django and pause account saving.
• Flow Fixed server-workspace recovery so Reload server copy can intentionally bypass a rejected browser journal, while invalid empty-title journals are quarantined instead of being retried after refresh.

• Flow Clarified Account status with the real product tier plus a separate yellow ADMIN marker, and replaced the ambiguous server revision display with a truthful server-save count and compact help tooltip.
• Flow Added a server-owned all-product-features entitlement to the existing admin allowlist so the owner/admin account can continue testing future paid feature gates without conflating product tier with admin authority.

• Flow Added an admin-only toggle that restores the existing floating Back history counter overlay for navigation diagnostics while leaving browser/device Back behavior unchanged.
• Flow The Back history overlay remains off by default, persists as a device-local admin display preference, and is automatically hidden whenever the signed-in account lacks the server admin capability.

• Flow Added per-board selection count pills to board tabs so workspace-wide selections remain visible while moving between boards, including task and sub-task selections.
• Flow Added selection counts to overflowed boards under More, with a combined More count so selected items remain discoverable on narrow layouts.

• Flow Fixed workspace-wide selection persistence across real board switches; changing boards now preserves selected tasks, selected sub-tasks, selection order/count, and desktop/touch Selection Mode.
• Flow Hardened sub-task selection pruning so rendering one board no longer removes valid selected sub-tasks that belong to another board.

• Flow Made task and sub-task selection workspace-wide so selections remain fully actionable while switching between boards, including shared counts, copy, completion, urgency, reopening, and deletion behavior.
• Flow Changed the task-window close button hover from danger red to a neutral close treatment, and established v0.2.0 as the first official stabilized Django-backed Buds baseline.

• Flow Extended incremental authenticated persistence to board, section, and tag definitions so structural edits preserve stable relational rows instead of rebuilding the whole workspace graph.
• Flow Added structural identity, board-copy, RESTRICT-safe deletion, rollback, public API, and bounded-query regressions while keeping guest migration as the deliberate full-replacement import boundary.

• Flow Added incremental server-side task persistence behind the existing full-workspace save contract: ordinary task, subtask, and task-tag changes now reconcile stable rows instead of rebuilding the entire relational workspace graph.
• Flow Preserved the proven transactional full-replacement path as a deliberate fallback for board, section, tag-definition, and guest-migration structural changes while adding identity and bounded-query regressions.

• Flow Optimized authenticated workspace serialization to load tags, boards, sections, tasks, subtasks, and task-tag links with one bounded ordered prefetch graph instead of issuing relationship queries once per task.
• Flow Added backend query-count regressions that require the serializer to stay at six SQL queries for both small and larger populated workspaces while preserving the exact v0.1.103 workspace JSON contract.

• Flow Improved the private Admin performance monitor so an enabled monitor measures the startup /bootstrap/ request itself and keeps up to 20 recent measured API requests for the current browser-tab session across refreshes.
• Flow Fixed the Account/Admin modal header layout so the close × remains a compact header action instead of dropping onto its own oversized row.

• Flow Added a private Pyips Admin foundation gated by a server-side account email allowlist, with an Admin entry that is never exposed to ordinary accounts.
• Flow Added admin-only toggles for the existing board test controls and a lightweight live performance monitor showing aggregate API database query count, database/server timing, and response size without retaining SQL text.

• Flow Simplified production deployment to two persistent zero-argument launchers: each automatically selects the highest semantic buds-vX.Y.Z.zip release beside it and uses that release's tested deployment payload.
• Flow The backend deployer now has the production cPanel Python interpreter as a known default, persists it privately when appropriate, and still allows explicit environment or config overrides.

• Flow New Buds/browser workspaces now default to the dark theme while existing saved light/dark choices remain unchanged.
• Flow Hardened the Django deployment baseline with MariaDB STRICT_TRANS_TABLES and active X-Frame-Options protection, and added persistent local backend-deployer configuration so the cPanel Python path no longer needs to be re-exported every terminal session.

• Flow Fixed the live Chromium deployment verifier to open task context menus with a trusted browser right-click instead of an untrusted synthetic contextmenu event.
• Flow Cross-board deployment verification still exercises the real production context-menu handler and now waits for the menu to become visible before validating the move action.

• Flow Hardened live Chromium deployment verification for the authoritative startup bootstrap: the E2E run now waits for guest/account workspace hydration and active/runtime board alignment before changing test data.
• Flow Cross-board live verification now reports board/runtime/selection diagnostics when its context action is unavailable instead of timing out with only a generic false result.

• Flow Reworked startup so Buds does not paint the anonymous browser workspace before it knows whether the visitor is signed in; a lightweight workspace skeleton now gates the board until the authoritative source is known.
• Flow Added a single GET /buds/api/v1/bootstrap/ response that returns session state, capabilities, workspace metadata, and the signed-in workspace document together, reducing account startup to one server round trip while keeping guest mode browser-backed.

• Flow Fixed account-mode board switching so the destination board runtime is activated before any account-routed persistence write can snapshot the workspace; switching boards no longer copies the previous board into the destination.
• Flow Added a runtime-board identity guard and audited task-follow, workspace Undo/Redo, and import activation paths so transitional active-board changes cannot synchronize stale runtime tasks into another board.

• Flow Fixed account startup hydration so the freshly fetched server board is loaded into runtime before any account preference side effects can synchronize state back into the workspace.
• Flow Workspace-validation failures now pause automatic account saving instead of retrying the same rejected full-workspace snapshot every few seconds; the server copy remains unchanged and the tab is preserved for export/recovery.

• Flow Fixed the authenticated startup overwrite that could hide a correctly saved task after refresh by treating a lifecycle-created recovery snapshot as a new unsaved edit.
• Flow Authenticated pagehide no longer creates recovery journals at all, and startup clears same-revision journals when their workspace already matches the server instead of manufacturing another revision.

• Flow Changed authenticated workspace writes to a dedicated POST /buds/api/v1/workspace/save/ endpoint for shared-host compatibility while retaining optimistic revisions and the v0.1.91 durability journal.
• Flow Deployment health checks now require the backend to advertise the POST save contract before the account-aware frontend can install, and the browser journal is cleared only after the server proves the workspace revision advanced.

• Flow Fixed authenticated workspace durability across refresh and browser restart by journaling every account edit immediately in a separate account-specific browser namespace before the debounced server save.
• Flow Pending account journals are now reconciled on startup: Buds retries unsent edits, recognizes saves that reached the server before a lost response, and protects divergent browser/server copies instead of silently discarding either one.

• Flow Fixed the production custom-user initial migration so Django records the migration-aware UserManager exactly as the current accounts.User model requires.
• Flow Kept this as a corrected initial migration rather than adding a redundant follow-up migration because no production Buds database migration had been applied before the deploy gate caught the mismatch.

• Flow Changed the production MySQL/MariaDB Python driver from compiled mysqlclient to pure-Python PyMySQL so the Django backend installs cleanly on Shock Hosting's CloudLinux Python environment without unavailable Python development headers.
• Flow Kept Django's built-in MySQL backend and the existing relational schema/API behavior by loading PyMySQL's MySQLdb compatibility shim before Django initializes the database backend; no database migration or frontend data-format change is introduced by this hotfix.

• Flow Added the production Django 5.2 account/backend foundation with a custom email-based user model, secure session/CSRF architecture, centralized guest/free/future-paid capabilities, and relational workspace models for boards, sections, tasks, sub-tasks, and tags.
• Flow Added optional Buds accounts without a signup wall: anonymous workspaces remain browser-backed, while signed-in workspaces use the versioned /buds/api/v1 server persistence provider and keep anonymous data separate.
• Flow Added automatic guest-to-account migration with stable existing Buds object IDs, server validation, idempotent migration receipts, browser recovery checkpoints, optimistic workspace revisions, and conflict-safe server saves.
• Flow Added the in-app Sign in/Create account surface, a reusable capability gate that can resume an originally requested account feature after successful authentication, save-draining sign-out back to the preserved guest workspace, no-store account API responses, and schema-aware cPanel/Passenger deployment safeguards that reserve /buds/api/ from static frontend cleanup.

• Flow Hardened Buds HTML responses with Cache-Control: no-transform so Cloudflare and other intermediaries cannot rewrite source-built public-page HTML in transit.
• Flow Kept strict byte-for-byte live verification for Documentation and the other public pages, with clearer diagnostics for Cloudflare email-obfuscation rewrites instead of weakening deployment checks.

• Flow Added an × dismiss control directly on every notification in the notification list so a notice can be cleared without opening its details.
• Flow Notification rows now use separate Open and Dismiss controls, preserving keyboard/touch accessibility and the existing notification read/dismiss persistence behavior.

• Flow Added true cross-board task movement without copy/delete: the original task, sub-task IDs, notes, tags, state, and compatible metadata move together as one record.
• Flow Added a Board selector beside Section in the task window; moving an open task follows it to the destination board and keeps the task window open for continued editing.
• Flow Added Move to board… to the task right-click menu, including Move selected to board… for multi-selected parent tasks, with a destination Board + Section chooser.
• Flow Cross-board moves match destination sections by ID or displayed name before falling back to Queue, respect the completed-task Allow manual moving setting, and participate in workspace Undo/Redo.

• Flow Reworked the Features page copy to be plainer and more direct while preserving the same shipped capability coverage and current-product boundaries.
• Flow Reworked the Roadmap page copy to describe planned work, explorations, and non-committed ideas more clearly without changing roadmap scope or promising release dates.
• Flow Updated the shareable Features and Roadmap page introductions so the generated public pages use the revised copy directly from current source.

• Flow Expanded the workspace identity to Pyips. Buds. Board Name, with Pyips linking to pyips.com and Buds linking to /buds/ while preserving the compact one-line typography and existing Buds period styling.
• Flow Matched the Pyips period to the warm gold accent used by the pyips.com wordmark while keeping the board title visually dominant and editable.
• Flow Changed the untouched default board name from Home To Do to To Do for new workspaces, with a narrow migration for the legacy default only when it cannot collide with an existing To Do board; the default task list remains empty.

• Flow Made the shareable-page living Edge Bloom change color gradually as it crawls, with the color phase tied to border position so color freezes whenever motion is paused or offscreen.
• Flow Replaced the board's old full-height solid task, sub-task, and section accent borders with short fading semantic edge accents while preserving every existing board/status color assignment.
• Flow Aligned Settings and remaining legacy left-accent surfaces with the same restrained fading-edge language without changing task behavior, storage, or interaction semantics.

• Flow Updated shareable Documentation callouts to the same restrained frosted-glass treatment used by the Privacy page instead of inheriting the old thick solid left-border style from the in-app manual.
• Flow Kept callout meaning visible with short fading semantic accents for tips, notes, and important guidance while leaving the compact in-app Documentation modal unchanged.
• Flow Added a public-documentation visual regression contract so the old 4px public callout stripe cannot silently return.

• Flow Hardened explicit mobile task-title editing so a deliberate touch or pen tap focuses the title field directly while touch-opening a task still keeps the virtual keyboard closed by focusing the static dialog heading.
• Flow Made live Chromium touch verification preserve touch emulation briefly after touchEnd so Chromium can complete its native tap/focus default action instead of racing the verifier teardown.
• Flow Added task-modal focus regression coverage for the direct touch/pen title-focus path without changing existing mouse/keyboard autofocus or touch Selection Mode behavior.

• Flow Fixed release ZIP permission metadata that could make packaged source/hosted directories non-traversable after extraction, causing the persistent deployer to report fingerprinted assets as missing even though they were present.
• Flow Hardened deployment temp cleanup and extraction handling so malformed archive permissions cannot leave undeletable Buds staging trees behind.
• Flow Preserved the v0.1.78 single-line Buds. + board-name workspace header redesign unchanged while adding a release-packaging permission contract for future builds.

• Flow Redesigned the top-left board identity into a single-line Buds. + editable board-name lockup, removing the boxed Buds icon and tiny uppercase product label from the workspace header.
• Flow Made the Buds period the only branded color hit in the lockup, with a restrained coral/pink glow while the board name remains the dominant workspace title.
• Flow Improved long-board-name behavior so the one-line header stays compact and truncates cleanly across desktop and mobile instead of crowding the Add Task composer or wrapping the brand block.

• Flow Built a full shareable About Buds page with a factual product overview, current platform/account/storage status, product-design principles, active-development context, and the relationship between Buds and Pyips.
• Flow Moved the public About page to a dedicated current-source fragment so the public page can be complete without turning the small in-app About modal into a long document.
• Flow Added direct About-page routes to current Documentation, Features, Changelog, Roadmap, Privacy, Contact, and Pyips information while keeping the existing restrained public-page visual system.

• Flow Matched the shareable Buds page display typography to the Pyips homepage by using Manrope for public headings while keeping Inter for body/UI text.
• Flow Restored continuous slow crawling Edge Bloom motion to both major public-page surfaces with random start positions, visibility-aware low-frequency updates, and the optimized no-blur/no-backdrop-filter rendering path.
• Flow Fixed the public Changelog current-release green glow being clipped by content-visibility paint containment; the current entry is now exempt from containment and layered above neighboring history entries while older entries retain the long-page paint optimization.

• Flow Fixed excessive GPU usage on the shareable Buds pages by removing continuously animated SVG blur filters and eliminating backdrop blur from the giant Documentation/Changelog/Features/Roadmap content surfaces.
• Flow Kept the approved living Edge Bloom design with one slow random-start crawler on the compact hero while the main content surface keeps a matching static randomized Edge Bloom, preserving the visual language without continuously repainting huge glass layers.
• Flow Made the public animation visibility-aware and low-frequency: it runs only while the animated hero is onscreen and the tab is visible, stops completely offscreen/in background tabs, and uses a 12 FPS update cap appropriate for the intentionally slow crawl.

• Flow Restyled the Buds app footer plus all seven shareable information pages with the approved restrained frosted-glass public design while leaving the Kanban board/workspace itself unchanged.
• Flow Added one slow continuous mixed-spectrum Edge Bloom to each major public-page glass surface; each line follows only the border, starts at a random perimeter position on every refresh, and uses a shared 30 FPS animation loop with reduced-motion support.
• Flow Reworked the app footer, public navigation, Features/Roadmap cards, Documentation navigation, and public-page footers so color is limited to purposeful accents and hover signals; the Changelog current release keeps its stronger semantic green glow and complete normalized release history.

• Flow Fixed the shareable Changelog current-release glow being clipped at its top and right edges by inherited overflow boundaries from the modal-oriented timeline and public content card.
• Flow Made the standalone Changelog timeline use normal page scrolling with visible overflow through both standalone containers, allowing the full green halo and timeline-marker glow to render naturally while leaving the in-app modal scrolling behavior unchanged.
• Flow Added a regression contract so the public Changelog cannot accidentally inherit overflow clipping from the in-app timeline again.

• Flow Fixed release-package compatibility with persistent Buds deployer v2.3.0 after the stronger public-page no-store cache policy was introduced, so the existing one-step deployment command no longer rejects the hosted .htaccess before upload.
• Flow Kept the actual HTML policy at no-store/no-cache/must-revalidate/max-age=0; the legacy revalidation text is present only as a harmless compatibility marker for the older local validator.
• Flow Updated the packaged deployer to v2.3.2 with stale-launcher refresh support while preserving the /buds-only deployment boundary, full source regression gate, live HTTP verification, and live Chromium verification.

• Flow Hardened the shareable Buds pages against stale browser copies by switching HTML to no-store/no-cache/must-revalidate while keeping fingerprinted CSS and JavaScript immutable.
• Flow Added public-page cache-bypass metadata and BFCache recovery so returning to Documentation, Changelog, Features, Roadmap, About, Contact, or Privacy reloads the current deployed HTML instead of reviving an obsolete document.
• Flow Kept the historical version-number repair as a permanent public Changelog contract: two-part releases such as 0.162 display as v0.0.162, every release-note entry must render, and the actual current v0.1.x release must remain first.

• Flow Fixed the shareable Changelog version ordering so historical two-part releases such as 0.162 are correctly interpreted as 0.0.162 and no longer sort above modern 0.1.x releases.
• Flow Protected the complete Changelog history by validating that every centralized release-note entry is rendered on the public page, with the current release first and historical two-part versions displayed canonically.
• Flow Strengthened the current-release green/teal highlight with a brighter border, outer glow, and glowing timeline marker so the newest release is immediately visible.

• Flow Restored the green Buds glow around the newest/current changelog entry on both the shareable Changelog page and the in-app changelog, while leaving older release entries visually quiet.

• Flow Restored the Buds footer’s distinct color accents, luminous hover treatment, and subtle multicolor edge so the new shareable links retain the app’s visual personality instead of reading as generic text links.
• Flow Reworked the public Buds page shell to use the application’s layered canvas gradients, glassy surfaces, display typography, accent glows, colored navigation, and responsive card treatment across Documentation, Changelog, About, Contact, and Privacy.
• Flow Restored the Features and Roadmap marketing palettes on their standalone pages by carrying forward the modal-scoped color variables that were lost when those views became shareable pages, and added regression checks for the public-page visual contract.

• Flow Turned the Buds footer information links into real shareable public pages for Documentation, Changelog, Features, Roadmap, About, Contact, and Privacy while keeping the app’s internal help surfaces available for contextual in-app actions.
• Flow Added build-generated public Buds pages that reuse the current in-app documentation, feature tour, roadmap, about/contact copy, and release-note data as canonical source material instead of maintaining duplicate content by hand.
• Flow Added a Pyips home link and expanded hosted-build/deployment verification so every public Buds page is packaged, cache-safe, linked correctly, and deployed/rolled back with the Buds application without changing the deployer’s /buds-only ownership boundary.

• Flow Audited the complete built-in user manual and permanent developer documentation against the current v0.1.65 source, removing retired standalone/local-file guidance and stale pre-redesign Settings/backup language.
• Flow Added a dedicated Settings documentation section, current Completed/Paused paths and behavior, current backup/restore terminology, and clearer browser-local storage/recovery guidance.
• Flow Corrected Paused reminder copy to match tested behavior: Return and resume task now reflects the existing auto-resume path, and Glow no longer claims an incorrect 30-second duration; added source validation so key documentation paths and labels cannot silently drift again.

• Flow Moved the per-board Board columns control from Manage sections to Settings → General without changing its 1–8 range, persistence, Undo/Redo behavior, or narrow-screen adaptation.
• Flow General now refreshes the column control whenever Settings opens, while Manage sections focuses only on section structure, order, and colors.
• Flow Updated built-in documentation and source contracts to reflect the new setting location while preserving the existing board layout data model and backup compatibility.

• Flow Redesigned Completed tasks and Paused tasks as wider, calmer drill-in settings screens using the same flat aligned control language as the modern Settings workspace.
• Flow Removed most inline technical/explanatory copy, simplified labels such as Allow manual moving and Remind me about paused tasks, and kept detailed behavior in Documentation instead of crowding the controls.
• Flow Added shared responsive modal styling, explicit inner scrolling, modern switches, and regression protection for conditional paused-reminder controls while preserving all existing settings keys and behavior.

• Flow Fixed Settings scrolling so Data & backups stays inside a definite viewport-bounded Settings workspace and scrolls normally instead of being clipped below the modal.
• Flow Made scroll ownership explicit on desktop and mobile: the desktop content pane scrolls independently, while the 390px/mobile layout scrolls beneath its sticky category bar.
• Flow Added regression contracts plus live Chromium checks that verify Data & backups can actually scroll at short desktop and mobile viewport heights.

• Flow Redesigned Settings as a wider four-area workspace with General, Tasks, Workspace, and Data & backups navigation, consistent aligned controls, and a responsive mobile category bar.
• Flow Simplified manual backups and restore: workspace and board backups now download in one click and close Settings, restore uses file-first human-readable language, and raw backup text is hidden under Advanced backup options by default.
• Flow Kept the storage progress bar prominent while moving byte-level accounting and browser details behind Storage details, and preserved all existing settings keys, backup schemas, automatic-backup ownership rules, and compatibility behavior.

• Flow Replaced the binary completed-task board visibility choice with Never, 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, and Always; new settings default to 7 days while legacy Show/Hide values migrate to Always/Never without deleting completed data.
• Flow Completed-card board filtering now uses each task’s latest completedAt timestamp, so reopening and completing a task again restarts its visibility window while History/storage remain untouched.
• Flow Touch/pen task opens now focus a static task-dialog heading instead of an editable field, preventing automatic mobile keyboard display while preserving explicit text editing and existing mouse/keyboard autofocus behavior.

• Flow Fixed the hidden Back test diagnostic overlay so its hidden attribute wins over the badge display:grid styling and the overlay is actually removed from layout and painting for users.
• Flow Strengthened live-browser verification to require computed display:none for the hidden navigation badge and both hidden developer test rows instead of checking only the HTML hidden property.
• Flow Retained all navigation diagnostic DOM/state instrumentation and developer test controls for future debugging and automated verification.

• Flow Kept Settings → Browser navigation → Confirm before leaving Buds marked Experimental and clarified that the option is especially useful for mobile/device Back navigation.
• Flow Hid the temporary Back test history overlay while retaining its DOM/state instrumentation for future navigation diagnostics.
• Flow Hid both developer notification/reminder test-button rows without removing or disabling the underlying test controls used by automated verification.

• Flow Fixed destination actions from Notification Detail so Open task and documentation links replace the current browser-history surface in place instead of racing an asynchronous modal close against the destination modal.
• Flow Added browser-navigation regression coverage proving modal-to-modal destination actions preserve the same history depth and parent while retargeting the current surface with replaceState.
• Flow Preserved the v0.1.57 history-first X/backdrop/Back behavior for ordinary closes; this release only corrects intentional Notification Detail → destination transitions.

• Flow Reworked browser/device Back surface synchronization so modal opens own their history entry immediately and X/backdrop/manager-Back actions move history first, then update the UI from popstate instead of reconciling after the click.
• Flow Synthetic clicks used while applying browser Back can no longer schedule new history entries, preventing Settings/task Back from burning the Board/Exit boundary or leaving a silent stale surface step.
• Flow Advanced browser-navigation state to v4 and expanded the Back test badge with History, UI, and Pending fields so any remaining field failure exposes the exact history/UI mismatch rather than only a logical step number.

• Flow Marked Settings → Browser navigation → Confirm before leaving Buds as Experimental while the custom Back/leave flow is field-tested on real desktop and mobile browsers.
• Flow Added an always-visible Back test badge that reports the current logical Buds history step and role: step 1 Base/Exit, step 2 Board, and step 3+ for task/settings/modal surfaces.
• Flow The debug badge also exposes depth, browser history length, navigation-state version, and data attributes so manual reports and live Chromium verification can identify exactly where a Back sequence lands.

• Flow Fixed the browser-navigation lifecycle bug that let pageshow promote the fresh unarmed Base entry to Board before trusted interaction, preventing the required Exit entry from ever being created.
• Flow Browser-navigation state advances to v3: Base remains Base through pageshow, trusted interaction alone creates Base → Exit → Board, and all v2 history states are treated as stale before a clean v3 anchor is rebuilt.
• Flow Strengthened deterministic and deploy-time browser regressions to assert the exact v3 Base → Exit → Board lifecycle before testing task, Settings, modal, and leave-confirmation Back behavior.

• Flow Corrected the deploy-time Chromium Back-navigation verifier to wait for Buds history cleanup after direct X/Close actions before opening the next surface, removing a race that could make the verifier navigate its own inspected tab away.
• Flow The browser verifier now waits for the exact expected Board/Settings history state after every modal Back/Close transition and reports the named Back step plus a history snapshot if a target ever navigates unexpectedly again.
• Flow The v0.1.53 Exit → Board → surface application navigation model is preserved unchanged in this release so physical Android/desktop testing can evaluate that product behavior without another navigation rewrite.

• Flow Rebuilt browser/device Back history around a stable Exit → Board → surface stack: the real page-load entry becomes the exit boundary after trusted interaction and a separate Board entry sits above it, so modal navigation no longer consumes the leave-warning step.
• Flow Task/modal X closes and browser Back now settle on the explicit Board entry; nested Settings navigation follows Manager → Settings → Board, and the next Back from Board reaches Leave Buds without an extra no-op history traversal.
• Flow Added stack-sequence regressions for the reported Android/desktop paths, duplicate-Board collapse after reload/history restoration, legacy guard migration, and touch pointerup activation while preserving the browser limitation on immediate Back before any user interaction.

• Flow Corrected the live Chromium navigation verifier to arm Buds' exit boundary with a real trusted CDP touch interaction before exercising browser Back, matching the Android pointerup path instead of relying on synthetic element.click() events.
• Flow The verifier now waits for a genuine guarded history state before testing modal Back and the Leave Buds confirmation, preventing the test harness from navigating its own inspected tab away and reporting CDP -32000.
• Flow The v0.1.51 product navigation behavior is otherwise preserved unchanged in this release.

• Flow Fixed Android/browser Back exit-boundary arming to follow real browser user-activation timing: mouse can arm on pointerdown, while touch/pen waits for pointerup instead of creating a history entry Chrome may skip.
• Flow Preserved valid Back/exit history states when Buds returns through BFCache/history instead of rewriting an existing guard to the board base entry.
• Flow Strengthened browser-navigation regressions around the exact reported flows: nested Settings Back, task Back then leave confirmation, task X history cleanup, and touch activation ordering.

• Flow Replaced the startup History-API sentinel with real same-URL history steps for user-opened Buds surfaces, so browser/device Back consumes task windows and Settings screens as normal in-app navigation.
• Flow Modal Back/Close history is now separated from site exit: a modal with its own Back action uses it, a modal without one closes, and direct X/Close actions consume the matching surface history instead of leaving stale navigation steps.
• Flow The optional Leave Buds confirmation now uses one interaction-armed exit boundary rather than page-load history trapping; preference toggles no longer mutate history, and confirmed Leave walks through any older same-URL Buds entries until the browser actually exits.

• Flow Rebuilt browser/device Back guarding without history.forward(): Back now synchronously establishes a fresh same-URL guard before closing/navigating Buds UI or scheduling the leave confirmation after popstate settles.
• Flow Added pageshow/BFCache recovery so returning to Buds after leaving cannot preserve a stale exit-approved or unguarded history state.
• Flow Changing the confirm-before-leaving setting now reconciles the Back guard immediately, while the existing rule remains: modal Back control first, otherwise close the top modal.

• Flow Browser/device Back now follows one generic modal rule: a top modal with its own Back control uses that action; otherwise the top modal closes.
• Flow The leave-site confirmation now restores Buds to its existing History guard before opening the custom dialog, preventing Android Chrome from escaping /buds/ during the same device-Back traversal.
• Flow Expanded browser-navigation regressions cover ordinary no-Back modals, nested Back-control modals, the mobile-safe leave guard, and the browser-local confirmation preference.

• Flow Browser/device Back now closes the active Buds modal instead of immediately leaving the app; task windows close naturally and Settings sub-screens with their own Back control return to Settings first.
• Flow When no Buds surface remains open, Back asks before leaving /buds/ by default. A new Settings → Browser navigation toggle can disable that confirmation.
• Flow The leave guard uses duplicate-URL History API sentinel entries only; it does not change Buds URLs, board Undo/Redo history, or normal in-app task navigation.

• Flow Stopped the disabled task-modal Pause/Mark done footer from sticking over sub-task rows while touch Selection Mode is active; it now stays in normal document flow above the fixed selection tray.
• Flow Fixed Android Chrome's sticky hover visual on the task-modal Urgent button so clearing Urgent immediately returns the flag control to its neutral styling.
• Flow Desktop behavior, selection semantics, and normal mobile task-modal behavior outside touch Selection Mode are unchanged.

• Flow Extended mobile scroll-first hold-to-drag behavior from task grips to board-section and sub-task grips, reducing accidental reorders while scrolling.
• Flow Touch Selection Mode now hides the normal sticky app header while active so the two-row selection tray does not squeeze the usable phone viewport; board tabs remain available at the top edge.
• Flow Desktop drag, desktop selection, and normal non-selection header behavior are unchanged.

• Flow Mobile task dragging now requires a short stationary hold on the task grip before reordering arms; movement before that threshold remains normal vertical page scrolling.
• Flow Expanded touch Selection Mode into a two-row tray with direct Urgent and Copy titles actions while keeping the selected count above the controls.
• Flow More now shows Reopen selected only when the current selection contains completed items that can actually be reopened; Delete selected remains isolated there.

• Flow Corrected the live Chromium deployment verifier for touch-selected sub-tasks that already have notes; it now validates the note mutation controls that actually exist instead of crashing on an intentionally absent Add-note control.
• Flow No touch-selection product behavior or layout changed from v0.1.42.

• Flow Refined touch-selection task controls so Open and the 38px selection circle share one evenly spaced row with deliberate top/bottom breathing room.
• Flow Touch-selection sub-task titles and notes now render as plain read-only text instead of exposing textarea/input chrome, while normal editing remains unchanged outside touch Selection Mode.
• Flow Added more vertical padding around touch-selection sub-task circles so compact rows no longer feel cramped.

• Flow Tightened the touch-selection layout: smaller 38px selection circles keep task cards compact, with the explicit Open control aligned immediately to the left of the task selection circle.
• Flow Touch-selected sub-tasks now use an explicit two-column layout so titles and notes stay on the left while the selection circle stays aligned at the right edge.
• Flow Sub-task titles and notes are now truly read-only while touch Selection Mode is active, including editors that were already rendered or focused before selection started.

• Flow Separated classic desktop multi-select from the touch-selection interface by actual activation input instead of viewport size.
• Flow Mouse/keyboard Select now keeps the original desktop outline and Selected-pill treatment, normal sub-task controls/layout, and selected-item dragging; touch Select and touch long-press use the large selection circles and persistent tray.
• Flow Touch-only Selection Mode continues to lock editing and dragging, preserve explicit Open navigation, and keep Delete selected safely under More without changing desktop selection behavior.

• Flow Turned mobile multi-select into a persistent Selection Mode with a bottom action tray that remains available inside task windows.
• Flow Selection Mode now locks task/sub-task editing and dragging while preserving a larger Open task action for cross-task mixed selection.
• Flow Kept Paste on the main mobile selection tray, moved Delete selected under More, and suppresses the competing context menu only for the initial selection hold while later selected-item context actions remain available.

• Flow Fixed mobile sub-task long-press selection so Chromium's post-hold click is suppressed before selection-mode click handling can deselect the item.

• Flow Added touch/mobile multi-selection: press and hold a task or non-editable sub-task row area to enter selection mode and select it.
• Flow Selection mode now shows large blue selection circles that are visually distinct from completion controls, and normal taps can extend task/sub-task selections.
• Flow Preserved native long-press text selection inside editable sub-task text and suppressed the post-long-press click so a selected item is not immediately opened or deselected.

• Flow The new-version notification now opens the main documentation view instead of jumping to Notifications guidance.

• Flow Retired the standalone HTML release target and per-release standalone baseline archive from the active Buds source tree.
• Flow The production build now targets the hosted browser application only and derives its exact CSS/JavaScript bundle order from the current source index.
• Flow The full local regression gate now validates every current source JavaScript file, every local test suite, and exact hosted bundle/source correspondence.
• Flow Deployment preflight now rebuilds and fully tests the packaged source before upload and verifies that the hosted ZIP matches that tested build byte-for-byte.
• Flow Historical complete releases remain external release archives; compatibility fixtures and migration regressions stay in the active test suite.

• Flow Backup files in Manage files now appear newest first.
• Flow Manage files shows a calm checking state while Buds verifies recorded files instead of briefly claiming the folder is empty.
• Flow Automatic backup settings now distinguish a remembered folder with paused browser access from a genuinely disconnected folder.
• Flow When browser access expires, Resume backups restores permission to the remembered folder in one tap without reopening the folder picker.
• Flow Automatic backup interval choices remain 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes.

• Flow Rebuilt local file storage around a Buds-created folder containing separate backups and media areas.
• Flow Added Manage files with verified-file status, backup selection, and a single confirmation for permanent file deletion.
• Flow Separated Disconnect folder from deletion; disconnecting removes no files and resets folder onboarding.
• Flow Whole-folder deletion is available only for a Buds-created folder after every contained file and directory passes the ownership audit; unknown or modified content blocks it.
• Flow Existing manually selected folders remain user-owned legacy locations and can never be deleted by Buds.

• Flow Automatic-backup folder setup now starts in Documents when the browser supports that hint.
• Flow Added a heavily warned Delete Buds files & disconnect action near Reset board.
• Flow Folder cleanup deletes only content-fingerprint-verified files Buds recorded as creating; unknown, modified, and pre-registry files are never removed.
• Flow After folder cleanup, Buds resets folder onboarding so it can offer setup again after the next newly created task.

• Flow Made the mobile top action area roomier with larger tap targets and clearer spacing.
• Flow Moved the mobile Paste action onto its own full-width row.
• Flow Automatic-backup folder setup now asks supported browsers to open in Downloads and remembers this picker purpose while preserving the required user approval.

• Flow Added a 1st of month paused-reminder preset in task and notification reschedule menus.
• Flow Added a saved paused-reminder notification time with a midnight default, one-minute open-app checks, and next-launch catch-up.
• Flow Paused tasks and their sub-tasks no longer generate daily missed-Urgent notifications while the parent remains paused.
• Flow Reordered right-click copy actions so Copy title appears before the explicitly labeled Copy task or Copy sub-task action.

• Flow Copy title now preserves the exact order in which tasks and sub-tasks were selected, including mixed interleaved selections.
• Flow Deselecting and reselecting an item moves its title to the end of the copied list, matching the latest selection sequence.
• Flow Added regression coverage for mixed task/sub-task title order through both selection and right-click copy paths.

• Flow Added Paste sub-task(s) to task-card and task-window right-click menus when the active clipboard contains only copied Buds sub-tasks.
• Flow Direct sub-task paste follows the target task's saved Top/Bottom insertion preference and creates fresh active sub-task records.
• Flow Task, mixed-item, title, backup, native-text, empty, and overwritten clipboard contents suppress the direct sub-task paste action.

• Flow Corrected bulk sub-task deletion warnings so their heading and confirmation label describe sub-tasks instead of tasks or generic items.
• Flow Added a Deselect all right-click action whenever more than one task or sub-task is selected, while keeping Deselect scoped to the clicked item.
• Flow Added structured JSON copy to the sub-task right-click menu, including sub-task-only copying from mixed selections.

• Flow Added PROJECT-STATE.md as the compact authoritative handoff for current project intent, release status, conventions, and regression-sensitive behavior.
• Flow Refreshed permanent developer documentation so volatile current-version metadata no longer drifts across releases.
• Flow Added release validation that requires PROJECT-STATE.md to exist and match the package/app version.

• Flow Extended global selected-item actions to sub-tasks: Mark done, Delete selected, Copy selected, and Paste now work with task-only, sub-task-only, or mixed selections.
• Flow Added mixed task/sub-task clipboard paste destinations so copied sub-tasks can be pasted into a chosen task while copied tasks can still target a board section.
• Flow Changed selection styling to a calm blue selection treatment instead of borrowing section/Urgent-like red accents.

• Flow Sub-task selections now survive closing and reopening task modals during the current board session.
• Flow Board task cards now show a bright selected-subtask indicator with the number of selected children.
• Flow Copy titles can combine selected tasks with selected sub-tasks from multiple task modals, and global Deselect clears both selection levels.

• Flow Redesigned paused-reminder notification actions with Reschedule on the left and Keep paused, Open task, Dismiss on the right.
• Flow Added Keep paused as a real notification action that re-pauses auto-resumed tasks or acknowledges an already-paused reminder with no new reminder date.
• Flow Kept Dismiss notification-only and preserved per-task state when dismissing reminder notifications.

• Flow Changed Return-on-reminder into a true return-and-resume action: due tasks move back to their origin and leave the paused state.
• Flow Fixed the task modal so an automatically resumed task immediately switches from Resume task back to Pause task.
• Flow Fixed reminder attention expiry verification to age the authoritative Glow timestamp, and allowed the short-lived glow to survive auto-resume.
• Flow Updated paused-reminder notifications so rescheduling an auto-resumed task pauses and routes it again for the new reminder cycle.
• Flow Added migration coverage for v0.1.21 returned tasks that were visually surfaced but still stored as paused.

• Flow Refactored paused-reminder due processing into one authoritative production handler shared by the scheduler and developer behavior controls.
• Flow Removed developer-only reveal state and temporary Settings swapping from paused-reminder behavior tests.
• Flow Recorded Glow and Return outcomes as reminder-cycle production state so rendering reflects actions that actually occurred instead of re-reading current Settings.
• Flow Added regression coverage proving scheduler and direct developer invocation produce equivalent reminder state for identical inputs.

• Flow Fixed isolated paused-reminder Glow/Urgent developer tests re-muting a task that had already been returned and visually surfaced.
• Flow Developer reminder tests now preserve an already returned/unmuted card while continuing to isolate the selected test behavior from real Settings.
• Flow Added browser regression coverage for Return followed by Glow and Urgent on the same surfaced paused task.

• Flow Replaced the paused-reminder conic/masked glow with an edge-only animated shadow sweep that cannot paint across the task face.
• Flow Restored the full standard red Urgent card background, border, and shadow when a due paused task is returned to its original section.
• Flow Added browser regression checks for edge-only reminder attention and returned paused+Urgent composite styling.

• Flow Changed paused-reminder attention to hold at full strength for 15 seconds and fade out over the following 2 seconds.
• Flow Moved reminder rays into an edge-only halo so animated light stays around the card instead of washing across its content.
• Flow Fixed Paused and Urgent chip colors in revealed paused cards and isolated developer Glow/Urgent/Return tests from the user's real due-reminder settings.

• Flow Changed paused-reminder glow into a 30-second attention animation with moving reminder rays and an automatic fade-out.
• Flow Preserved Paused and Urgent semantic chip colors while paused cards are muted, including standard red Urgent styling.
• Flow Made reminder attention timing resume from the original notification timestamp so rerenders cannot restart the glow indefinitely.

• Flow Added per-notification rescheduling controls to paused-task reminder notifications so each due task can be postponed independently.
• Flow Expanded developer reminder tests with a multiple-reminder notification test plus dedicated glow, Urgent, and return-to-section behavior tests.
• Flow Added separate developer code switches for paused-reminder notification tests and paused-reminder behavior tests.

• Flow Added a developer notification-test button for paused-task reminders.
• Flow The paused-reminder test uses a real paused task when available so its Open task action can be exercised without changing that task's actual reminder state.

• Flow Added paused-reminder settings for a due-task glow and one-time automatic Urgent flagging.
• Flow Boards that route paused tasks to a dedicated section can now optionally return due tasks to their original section while keeping them paused.
• Flow Due paused tasks returned to their original section can restore normal card styling while retaining the Paused state and reminder marker.

• Flow Replaced release query-string cache busting with content-fingerprinted production CSS and JavaScript filenames.
• Flow Production builds now bundle Buds into one hashed CSS asset and one hashed JavaScript asset while keeping the modular source tree unchanged.
• Flow Hardened shared-hosting cache and deployment verification so the HTML revalidates while immutable assets are verified byte-for-byte by their content fingerprints.

• Flow Compacted the per-task paused reminder control by removing the redundant Reminder label and oversized wrapper styling.
• Flow Paused tasks with scheduled reminders now show a distinct reminder/date chip on their board cards.
• Flow Changing a paused task reminder rerenders the board immediately so the reminder marker stays in sync.

• Flow Moved paused-task reminder timing out of global Settings and into a themed per-task Reminder selector immediately beside Pause/Resume in the task window.
• Flow Each paused task now independently chooses No reminder, Tomorrow, This weekend, 1 week, 1 month, or a custom date without changing any other task.
• Flow Kept the optional monthly or every-3-months paused-task review digest as a global safety net while removing the legacy global default reminder preference.

• Flow Disabled LiteSpeed server-side page-cache reuse for the Buds document during rapid development so a newly deployed index cannot be replaced by an older cached release.
• Flow Kept release-versioned CSS/JS URLs and long-lived browser caching for assets, so frequent deployments stay fresh without requiring users to clear browser cache.
• Flow Improved live deployment diagnostics for stale-index failures while preserving the v0.1.7 paused-task persistence repair and v0.1.8 asset versioning.

• Flow Versioned every local CSS and JavaScript URL in the hosted index so release upgrades cannot mix a new document with stale cached assets.
• Flow Cache-busted live deployment verification requests so intermediary caches cannot make a correct deployment look like an older release.
• Flow Cache-busted the live Chromium entry URL while preserving the stricter paused-task persistence checks introduced in v0.1.7.

• Flow Hardened paused-task persistence so valid pause metadata repairs a lost paused-state flag during workspace normalization instead of silently unpausing the task.
• Flow Expanded live-browser persistence coverage to verify the exact paused state, destination, reminder date, notification marker, and pre-refresh storage checkpoint separately.
• Flow Kept the v0.1.6 paused-task reminder behavior unchanged while fixing the failed refresh verification path.

• Flow Added optional one-shot reminders for paused tasks with quick choices for Tomorrow, This weekend, 1 week, 1 month, a custom date, or no reminder.
• Flow Added Paused tasks settings for the default reminder behavior and an optional monthly or every-3-months digest for paused tasks that have no reminder.
• Flow Paused-task reminders never resume work automatically and do not repeat unless the user schedules another reminder.

• Flow Added a reversible Paused task state with a Pause/Resume control in the task window.
• Flow Paused task cards are visibly muted and faded while remaining separate from completed work.
• Flow Added Settings → Paused tasks with a board-specific destination so paused tasks can automatically move into a user-selected section and return to their original section when resumed.

• Flow Added a Completed tasks setting that keeps unfinished sub-tasks above completed sub-tasks inside each task.
• Flow The new Move completed sub-tasks to bottom preference is Off by default and preserves the relative order within unfinished and completed groups.
• Flow Turning the preference Off restores normal sub-task list ordering without deleting or changing completion data.

• Flow Collapsed empty task notes into a compact + Add note control, matching the optional-note workflow used by sub-tasks.
• Flow Added Remove note for task notes and an Expand/Shrink control whenever a saved task note is present.
• Flow Expanded task notes now grow to fit their content up to a large capped height, then scroll for very long notes; Shrink restores the normal note height.

• Flow When Complete all sub-tasks with parent is Off, completing a parent now suspends Urgent on unfinished sub-tasks instead of leaving Urgent work floating under a completed parent, then restores that urgency when the parent is reopened.
• Flow Normalization repairs previously affected completed-parent records so incomplete Urgent sub-tasks are stored in the suspended state consistently.
• Flow Improved drag guards so selecting editable task or sub-task text does not accidentally start native task/sub-task dragging.
• Flow Updated live deployment verification to compare the packaged hosted build directly with the served /buds/ files instead of depending on a frozen hash table.

• Flow Completed the product-name cleanup so the application, built-in documentation, notices, backup metadata, and developer-facing text consistently use Buds.
• Flow Updated the built-in Roadmap to mark the modular refactor and live launch as complete and move History plus Global Search into the next-up position.
• Flow Updated the canonical hosted URL to https://pyips.com/buds/ and the support address to contact@pyips.com.
• Flow Changed newly created backup filenames and backup metadata to use the Buds name while retaining legacy storage keys and compatibility identifiers so existing browser data continues to work.

• Flow Corrected the historical version-number interpretation: prior two-part versions such as v0.162 are now treated as v0.0.162.
• Flow Started the next development level at v0.1.0 and moved version tracking to a new state key so legacy builds cannot overwrite the corrected version sequence.

• Flow Fixed Paste and Delete Selected so their Undo history commits immediately instead of waiting on a zero-delay history timer.
• Flow The Undo control is now deterministic and available as soon as those discrete actions finish.

• Flow Added a visible Import backup file action in Settings that opens the browser file picker for downloaded Buds JSON backups.
• Flow Pasted JSON import remains available as a separate Paste backup data action, and the file input now resets so the same backup file can be selected again if needed.

• Flow Fixed single-board Import stripping newer task and sub-task metadata such as completion state, completion timestamps, Urgent history, sub-task completion provenance, and per-task sub-task insertion preference.
• Flow Single-board Import now validates required names and destinations while preserving the complete task/sub-task records for the normal compatibility and migration layer to normalize.

• Flow Right-clicking directly inside a sub-task name field now uses the browser's native text context menu so spellcheck corrections, dictionary actions, cut/copy/paste, and other browser text tools remain available.
• Flow Right-clicking elsewhere on the sub-task row still opens the Buds sub-task context menu.

• Flow Added a Task & sub-task capitalization preference with First word, Every word, and None modes; First word is the default.
• Flow Capitalization now applies to new task/sub-task titles from normal entry paths and to titles when an existing task or sub-task edit is committed, without rewriting imported or untouched existing data.

• Flow Sub-task completion now records whether the user completed it directly or it was auto-completed with its parent.
• Flow Reopening a parent task now reopens only sub-tasks that were auto-completed by that parent; sub-tasks the user completed manually stay completed.
• Flow Older completed parent/sub-task records are conservatively migrated by treating matching parent/sub-task completion timestamps as prior parent auto-completion.

• Flow Added !u as a shorter alias for !urgent in both Queue capture and the top Add Task composer.
• Flow Updated placeholders and built-in feature/documentation guidance to advertise both Urgent shortcuts.

• Flow Updated both Queue placeholder variants to show the !urgent shortcut alongside section routing, tags, and separator guidance.

• Flow Added !urgent support to the top Add Task composer so fast-created tasks can be routed, tagged, and flagged Urgent in one entry.
• Flow Updated the Add Task placeholder, built-in documentation, and Features catalog to show the shared !urgent syntax.

• Flow Added a marketing-style Roadmap modal that shows the planned path from the current local-first board through hosting, History, Daily Plan, Calendar, Stats, Goals, cloud accounts, PWA capabilities, and longer-term experiments.
• Flow Added a Roadmap link to the application footer and clearly separated committed direction from exploratory ideas.

• Flow Completed Urgent tasks and sub-tasks now clear their active Urgent state instead of remaining permanently flagged in hidden completed data.
• Flow Completion preserves whether the item was Urgent and when that Urgent period began so missed-deadline checks can still recognize work completed after a cutoff.
• Flow Reopening a task or sub-task that was Urgent when completed restores its Urgent state with a fresh reopen timestamp.

• Flow Standardized the user-facing child-task terminology as sub-task.
• Flow Added Completed tasks settings to hide completed sub-tasks while keeping them stored, and to optionally auto-complete unfinished sub-tasks when their parent task is completed.

• Flow Board task cards now show a dedicated Urgent sub-task indicator when one or more unfinished sub-tasks are flagged Urgent.

• Flow Improved Queue capture with a comma-aware placeholder and a new !urgent marker for creating Urgent tasks immediately.
• Flow Added a browser-level setting for the daily missed-Urgent notification time, with midnight remaining the default.
• Flow Section placement now exposes one additional empty logical row beneath the furthest occupied row while dragging normal sections.

• Flow Fixed selected sub-task group dragging so any selected member can reliably be used as the drag anchor, not just the first selected item.

• Flow Added parent-scoped group dragging for selected sub-tasks: dragging a selected sub-task moves all selected sub-tasks in that task together as one contiguous block while preserving their original relative order.

• Flow Added continuous page auto-scroll while dragging board tasks near the top or bottom of the viewport, including desktop drag-and-drop, touch/direct dragging, and selected-task group drags.

• Flow Added continuous task-modal auto-scroll while dragging sub-tasks near the top or bottom edge, including both desktop drag-and-drop and touch/direct dragging.

• Flow Replaced the per-task sub-task insertion dropdown with a one-click Bottom/Top toggle switch for faster repeated use.

• Flow Added a per-task New sub-tasks position control so each task can insert newly added sub-tasks at the Top or Bottom.
• Flow Existing tasks default to Bottom, preserving the previous behavior, and changing the setting does not reorder existing sub-tasks.

• Flow Fixed hidden buttons being forced visible by the global button layout rule, including the empty action pill in Urgent notification details.

• Flow Polished the Features showcase with a true masonry-style minor-feature layout, a balanced 14-card major-feature grid, and richer theme-aware marketing colors.

• Flow Added a complete Features showcase accessible from the footer, with major capabilities highlighted first and a comprehensive catalog of smaller features below.

• Flow Refreshed user documentation for completed-task/sub-task behavior, visible task counts, Urgent reopening, and completed-task movement settings.

• Flow Added import-size preflight checks before single-board or full-workspace imports can change the current workspace.
• Flow Projected localStorage usage is calculated using the exact board/tag payloads that would be persisted plus the app's existing localStorage keys.
• Flow Imports projected at 80% or 90% of the 5 MiB reference show stronger storage warnings before confirmation; imports projected at or above the 5 MiB reference are blocked before any workspace replacement occurs.
• Flow Successful imports immediately refresh the localStorage meter and staged capacity notifications.

• Flow Added localStorage-specific hardening with an approximate 5 MiB reference meter in Settings.
• Flow Settings now shows Buds localStorage usage, other localStorage on the same origin, total localStorage usage, and the browser-reported general site-storage estimate when available.
• Flow Added staged localStorage notifications at approximately 70%, 80%, and 90% of the 5 MiB reference, with Export workspace as the safety action.
• Flow Successful localStorage writes now schedule a lightweight usage recheck so the meter and warnings stay current as the workspace grows.

• Flow Changed Where the work sits to count the tasks currently visible on the board.
• Flow When completed tasks are shown, completed cards now contribute to section counts and the board total; when completed tasks are hidden, the counts remain active-task-only.
• Flow This is a display-stat rule only and does not change completed state, completedAt timestamps, or future History and analytics data semantics.

• Flow Restored the missing multi-board tab renderer that caused existing board tabs to disappear.
• Flow Added a focused regression test requiring three saved boards to render three board-tab buttons with the active board correctly marked.

• Flow Fixed existing completed tasks not visually moving immediately when a completion destination was selected.
• Flow The destination change now saves the moved tasks and rerenders the board in the same action, so all visible completed cards relocate at once.

• Flow Added a separate setting for striking through completed sub-task titles; it is Off by default.
• Flow Added a board-specific Move completed tasks to section setting with Off as the default and the board's existing sections as choices.
• Flow Choosing a completion destination immediately moves existing completed tasks there and sends future completed tasks there without creating any new sections.
• Flow Tasks automatically moved on completion remember their prior section and return there when reopened when that section still exists.

• Flow Made completed parent tasks quasi read-only for sub-tasks: adding, deleting, reordering, editing, urgency changes, and sub-task completion changes are locked until the parent is reopened.
• Flow Added Reopen task so the completion control, completed-card action, and task context menu can toggle a completed parent task back to active.
• Flow Increased the Reduced opacity effect for completed cards so the visual difference is substantially clearer.

• Flow Fixed Show completed not working because an older duplicate renderBoard function was overriding the completion-aware renderer.
• Flow Kept completed-task visibility and appearance preferences intact across the fix, so existing Show completed settings continue to work.
• Flow Temporarily re-enabled the full notification developer test button set while notification testing continues.

• Flow Added Settings → Completed tasks with Hide completed as the default and an option to show completed cards on the board.
• Flow Added completed-card appearance settings for muted/gray styling, reduced opacity, and optional struck-through titles.
• Flow Added a setting controlling whether completed cards can be dragged, reordered, and moved between sections.
• Flow Completed cards always show a completion checkmark, remain stored separately from deletion, and are not draggable by default.

• Flow Added a temporary Urgent end-of-day notification test control so flagged tasks and sub-tasks can be tested without waiting until midnight.
• Flow Strengthened missed-Urgent deadline logic so an item completed after the midnight cutoff is still correctly recognized as having missed that day's deadline.
• Flow Added targeted automated coverage for grouped notifications, deduplication, urgency timing, completion timing, parent/sub-task behavior, and local-day cutoffs.

• Flow Selected the filled pennant as the permanent Urgent icon and removed the temporary icon comparison row.
• Flow Restored the planned task-header layout with the Urgent flag between the task name and the smaller close button.
• Flow Kept the extra spacing between the Urgent flag and close button and the neutral context-menu Urgent action styling.

• Flow Added a temporary Urgent icon comparison row beneath the task name with eight candidate icon designs.
• Flow All comparison icons use the same size and toggle the same Urgent task state so their hover and active appearances can be compared directly.

• Flow Changed Flag urgent and Remove urgent flag in the task context menu to use the same neutral color and hover treatment as the other context-menu actions.

• Flow Realigned the Add Tag control with the Section selector in the task window.
• Flow Reduced the task close button size while keeping a clear touch target.
• Flow Increased spacing between the Urgent flag and close button without changing the task-name-to-flag spacing.

• Flow Moved the task Urgent flag from the metadata row into the task header beside the task name.
• Flow Improved spacing and touch targets between the task name, Urgent flag, and close control.
• Flow Restyled the task close button as a larger rounded control with clearer hover and focus feedback.

• Flow Added Urgent flags for tasks and sub-tasks with distinct visual highlighting and direct controls.
• Flow Added bulk urgent flagging and removal through the existing task/sub-task selection context menu.
• Flow Added one grouped in-app warning when urgent work is still incomplete after the local calendar day ends, including next-launch catch-up when the app was closed.

• Flow Stopped continuously duplicating the active board into obsolete single-board localStorage keys.
• Flow Kept legacy single-board data readable for migration, then safely removes obsolete mirror keys only after a valid modern workspace is stored.

• Flow Added real completion state and completion timestamps for tasks and sub-tasks, separate from deletion.
• Flow Completed tasks are retained in board data but hidden from the active Kanban by default.
• Flow Added Mark done actions for individual and selected tasks, plus checkable completion for sub-tasks.
• Flow Completing a parent with unfinished sub-tasks now asks for confirmation without falsely completing those sub-tasks.

• Flow Added the same @Section routing and #Tag assignment syntax to the top Add Task composer.
• Flow Top Add Task keeps its normal default section when no valid @Section marker is supplied.

• Flow Added @Section routing to Queue bulk entry so tasks can be created directly in an existing board section.
• Flow Queue routing recognizes renamed and custom section names and can be combined with #tags.

• Flow Changed Copy titles to combine selected task titles and selected sub-task titles into one plain-text list.

• Flow Fixed sub-task multi-selection so Shift/Ctrl/Command-click is handled by the whole sub-task row instead of the editable title field.

• Flow Added a plain-text Copy title action to task and sub-task right-click menus.
• Flow Added lightweight sub-task multi-selection so selected titles can be copied one per line.

• Flow Turned the developer notification test controls back off.
• Flow Added a footer Changelog with a version-by-version timeline generated from centralized release notes.

• Flow Temporarily re-enabled the developer notification test controls for testing.

• Flow Fixed manager modal close buttons so the X stays anchored at the top-right of the modal.

• Flow Added Back to Settings navigation from Manage tags, Manage boards, and Manage sections.

• Flow Removed the empty Queue drop area from CSS-column layout on mobile to prevent horizontal overflow.
• Flow Limited the mobile task Section selector to a compact maximum width instead of stretching across the modal.
