What changed

Agents can discover ValorBrain from the public site, read all 72 public pages as Markdown, and find the MCP server, OAuth, OpenAPI, credential rules, and three hash-verified skills. Setup keeps each credential type separate and no longer suggests unavailable commands or puts secrets in shell history.

We swapped the reader to GLM-5.3 Flash (then identified as Ox Alpha) and turned reasoning effort to max: 69.3% to 75.5% average score on the BEAM-100K memory benchmark (323/400 correct, 80.8% binary). Result setup: reader GLM-5.3 Flash (Ox Alpha); judge GLM-5.2; effort=max; run 2026-08-23; ~44% slower than default effort; this benchmark setup is not the chat default. Along the way we moved dense HNSW indexes from float32 to halfvec (3.6× less disk, 4.7× faster, recall intact), fixed an O(n²) validation that kept index builds at hours, and built, then disabled, a ColBERT rerank that helped synthesis but hurt abstention and extraction.

Second wave of the launch audit. The daily value email had answered Unauthorized on all 54 runs since it existed — a literal %s inside a systemd command — and had never delivered anything; it now goes out at 07:00 in the workspace timezone. In per-user workspaces, sync always ran as the first member: their token re-synced every 15 minutes while everyone else's never did; each member now has their own slot. And the archiving policy you set per collection now applies on every path — previously only the nightly scheduler read it, and the manual sweep could archive never-accessed documents at half the intended age.

Plan changes no longer create a second subscription or double-charge; downgrading to Free cancels the previous billing. Member permissions closed (passwords, tokens, gaps). Provisioning and sync workers stable. Digest and health cards now count everything awaiting a decision.

Impact home with counted value for the period: answered searches, delivered contexts, and recorded knowledge, by function. Daily e-mail digest for the workspace owner, sent in the tenant’s timezone, with click tracking.

Full public landing under /es. BEAM-100K study on /research and competitor comparison on /vs/hindsight, with the benchmark synced to 96.58% R@10.

60s cache on engine reads and single-flight fetch dedup (30s TTL) across the dashboard’s five most-visited GET routes.

Security review fixes (critical route auth and adjacent ones). The test suite now runs against the test database only — production stays untouched. Hydration error in the verify widget resolved.

Light by default (dark one toggle away). Landing shows a real dashboard screenshot, without animated mock or fake browser chrome. Clearer Ask and memory subnav. Typography, mono metadata, brand green as signal. Rules locked in design.md for the next screens.

With indexed memory, login and the main nav open Ask (/knowledge/ask). Dashboard, Ctrl+K, and the first-source tour push cited questions. browsing the base stays secondary.

The trust card asks for a small sample (up to ~12 decisions and facts), with a clear count. Team confirm updates the weekly sample.

After OAuth and sync, status shows how many documents landed per source, with a shortcut to Ask. The connect toast notes that the first sync is starting.

Side navigation by Account / Workspace / Billing / Developer. Hub at /settings with shortcuts. Mobile uses a section select. Gone is the confusing chip bar at the top.

Friendly URL (legacy ?tab=ask and /knowledge/chat redirect). Deep-link /knowledge?veracity=imported to review imports. On doc detail: “Confirm by team” (veracity=stated) closes the trust-score loop.

At /settings/retrieval: prefer/demote collections, paths and content types, plus purposeBoosts. no brand hardcodes in the engine. Sticky save while scrolling.

Split hero, comparison table, pricing matrix, workbench FAQ. /use-cases and /vs redesigned: directory rows, row comparison (no twin red/green cards), feature matrix first on vs pages.

GET /documents exposes veracity; PATCH /documents/:id/veracity for human confirmation. SaaS browse filters by origin. Rank harness via tenants.settings.contextPolicy (tenant-agnostic).

Trust / Economy / Performance cards on the dashboard. Knowledge gaps with dismiss/fill. Onboarding goal “1 source + 1 cited answer”. Memory-first positioning (not “virtual company”).

Dashboard and agent presence differ for team-lead vs solo/founder. Real team activity on the Valor Digital workspace (dogfood).

Origin badges: team-confirmed, integration, agent, suggested. Filter by veracity. Ask sources show origin and score. Trust KPIs in analytics.

Memory chat, dashboard widgets, i18n. MCP tokens with multi-user UX and Hermes snippets. Unified engine gateway (engineRawFetch).

Hero with value stats (decisions, embedding coverage). TeamThisWeekCard. Analytics with agent value. ROI widget with honest onboarding. Empty states on widgets.

Visual value comparison. /vs index. Settings/users with per-agent contributions. Graduated onboarding progress.

Stable CI on engine and SaaS. safeJsonFetch on critical paths. i18n and a11y (aria-labels). Loading.tsx on protected routes. Published the first LoCoMo pipeline study, later re-baselined by the canonical table.

Verification cron on day 7. /en/pricing with SubscribeCard, FAQ and calculator in parity with PT.

Metorial self-host stack (Notion, Slack, Drive, GitHub, Linear). /onboarding/connect-agent wizard. Verify Connection widget on the dashboard.

recordUsage on critical paths. /auth/activate with full state machine. Paid plans require verified email.

Health timer with Telegram alerts. Optional Sentry (engine + SaaS) with tenant tags.

Knowledge with filters; canonical with diff; audit-logs with export; API keys with scopes. Main /en/* pages translated.

Checkout, credit packs, subscription UI. Landing, pricing, comparison, use-cases, vs. Multi-tenant Postgres RLS (4 layers) on the engine.
