Changelog

Dated record of material changes — plan closures, architectural shifts, and significant doc-level edits. Each entry links to the now-current pages so this list stays a navigation surface, not a mirror of the docs.

The guide and decisions pages describe the current state. This page describes how we got here. When old design context is useful (a "before/after" diagram, a trade-off that was considered and rejected), it lives in the changelog entry, not in the current-state docs.

Convention: one Markdown file per entry, named YYYY-MM-DD-short-slug.md. Entries listed below newest-first.

2026-09-08

• Silent infrastructure failure made unrepresentable — the bots-leaving-tables mystery was a 16-day unalerted litellm outage; the Dash0 pack proved blind AND unrouted since July (no rule-fired Slack message ever sent); routed pack live on stg+prd with fail-closed parity (check:dash0-rules) + drills, Fly networking doctrine page + check:fly-urls, HAS continuous litellm heartbeat. (infra-liveness-gate)

2026-08-03

• Integration suite repaired to zero-red, nightly in CI, and gating releases — 146 red files → zero; typed SKIP-REASON taxonomy enforced by check:skip-reasons; nightly workflow + ci.integration_suite.completed span + Dash0 rule 13 + absence watchdog; pnpm release --full gains a named-refusal preflight. (integration-suite-gate)
• persona-voiced-thoughts closed — agents speak as themselves: owner-authored personas, persona-voiced public thoughts (raw never public), and the identity arc it seeded (stable pack, usernames, chat avatars, result cards)
• chat-composer-upgrade closed — TipTap composer + virtuoso feed on an honest wire: falsification fixed newline-flattening hygiene, the serialized-text cap, and the IME Enter guard
• conversation-first-chrome closed — one 432px conversation column, game on the right; falsification fixed the band-scaling break (seats under the column at laptop widths) + durable authorship on the humans filter
• table-chat-history closed — the durable room stream: chat/thoughts/hand results persist with pagination; spectator thought-curation + the published disclosure stamp; falsification fixed six real bugs incl. two privacy holes

2026-08-02

• Deploys are affected-only, parallel, and self-verifying — turbo-graph affected sets, per-app CI image builds by exact registry tag, in-pipeline sha verification; full matrix 16m cold / 9m warm vs the retired ~hour shared-builder pipeline. (deploy-affected-parallel)

2026-08-01

• Legacy /faucet/claim route deleted — the JWT faucet is the only faucet — the ChitinToken-era route was structurally dead against TSKPK; casino/smoke now covers the live POST /api/faucet flow. (integration-suite-gate)

2026-07-31

• Agents converse — @-mention an agent in table chat for an in-character reply; agents now hear each other's table talk; no human speech can reach a decision, structurally (one transcript store, two composers, the wall as the filter difference; durable runaway-brake budgets; house-pays billing + owner replay)

2026-07-30

• Escape money-moves are journal-sourced — the forced-freeze cascade closed: lease-lost rake-having tables self-dispose (frozen → escape → custody → closed, delta 0); chain-reconciled entry ids, the frozen-write guard, journal-share moves, the v2-bound custody re-deployment, the landed-collect rake boundary, idempotent escape re-runs; zero frozen tables on staging

2026-07-29

• Table lab parity — the public geometry lab drives the REAL felt (shipped BratTableV3, not sprites); stage + overlay + presets + copy-config shared from game-ui/lab, one definition for both labs, grep-gated
• Mobile lobby — the phone front door: cards with the verb on every table, quick-filter line + filter/sort sheet, FAB → create sheet on the same seam, slim collapsed header + install nudge; desktop grid byte-identical, one chromeMode authority app-wide

2026-07-28

• Mobile table chrome — the Twitch-model collapsed mode: geometry-derived chromeMode (no CSS breakpoints), portrait pager under the felt / landscape right column / TikTok floats, per-kind views, desktop byte-identical; page chrome decomposed
• Table ownership lease — a per-table Redis lease enforces exactly-one-owner (refuse-to-host + fencing token), freeze-on-loss, lease_enforcement kill-switch; N=1 pure-safety against the deploy-overlap double-payout class

2026-07-27

• Table V3 — the geometry-driven felt is the default: fills any screen, footprint-even spacing, dealer parity, two-ray bets, foot-band action card; compact + classic felts retired, ?ui=v2 keeps the previous brat felt

2026-07-25

• Template catalog — create/toggle/delete seeded-pool SnG formats from the admin UI (DB catalog, no deploy)

2026-07-23

• Seeded table pool — the lobby becomes find-and-join: platform-seeded SnG per template, player tournament-create removed, Play ⇄ Cash coming-soon showcase
• Engine showdown soundness — dead hands never win, chips never destroyed; conservation + winner-membership soak permanent

2026-07-20

• Prompt composition — , the append-only universal registry, pinned versions + prompted upgrades, and the Basic ⇄ Fine-tune Brain composer

• Agent Lab — single-surface UI (center-column everything, URL selection, old routes → redirects) + the 169-color gridman avatar palette, format v2, image import

• OHH Frame Projector — golden replay suite, ▶ watch replay, the felt registry gate (#1/#17 pinned, #53/#54 restored)

2026-07-19

• PostHog integration — replay + flags + surveys adopted, context-capturing feedback pill shipped
• Verified-Done — version stamping (service.version = git sha everywhere, /api/version, deploy.completed un-ghosted) + the three-predicate done ritual
• Real vs Play Money Split — two economies, one deploy (per-table money-kind, USDC-backed wrap, dual custody, skpk_enabled)
• Devnet Solana deploy — staging reshaped to the full playSKPK beta fund path (fresh custody/betting IDs, CHIP_TOKEN cutover)
• Felt Liveness Contract — no poker hand wedges silently, no frame lies

2026-07-18

• Chip Claim Board — earn-to-play playSKPK grants replace the faucet
• A Solana profile for the docker test stack — Solana fund paths run end-to-end in-stack

2026-07-17

• playSKPK cage grant + a CHIP_TOKEN-parameterized fund path — the beta play chip goes end-to-end

2026-07-16

• BratPokerTable decomposed — the most-visible file made the easiest to change
• Backend OTel bootstrap hotfix — the money path was dark, and nothing said so

2026-07-14

• Owners can watch their own agent again — transport by stake, an honest private stream
• Hosted-agent information boundary closed — opponents' cards out of agent prompts, reasoning addressed to its owner
• Busted Player Disposition — a cash bust gets a rebuy window, then rebuy-and-play-on or seat-freed; no wedged tables, no phantom-chip payouts

2026-07-03

• Rake & fees — the house is paid, auditable, and visible

2026-06-30

• CustodyFacet dual-sig guard — the disputed-release signer and arbiter can never collapse to one key

2026-06-27

• Solana on-chain layer — four Anchor programs (tokens · core · custody · betting) at parity on the validator
• Auth migrated to Privy — headless social login (Google/Apple) + invite-code-gated registration

2026-06-23

• Tournament resolution — tournaments play to a winner, pay out, and settle end-to-end

2026-06-14

• Custody Layer — escape/idle_kick hand the pool to FREE/DISPUTED custody claims; verbatim-cash-out FREE claim; conservation reconciler

2026-06-12

• Player-funds lifecycle audit — table-state machine, restart matrix, escape pays, idle reaper

2026-05-19

• SnG Tournaments closed
• Bulletproof Hosted Agents Phase 10 cash dogfood

2026-05-15

• LiteLLM gateway
• 2026-07-16 — Tournament durable orchestration: live on staging, and it falsified its own core assumption
