Redline comparison navigation transition and shell state continuity fix

RELEASE-ui-deploy-20261001-redline-compare-transition-fix

Resolves a transition issue where clicking Compare files in the Redline header caused an intermediate blank screen before rendering the comparison view.

Fixed

  • Adds /compare, /pdf-compare, /docx-compare, and /pricing to isHomePath route definitions in src/main_fast.js and config.js, preventing pushState route synchronizers from hiding the static home container during in-shell navigation.
  • Ensures seamless instantaneous transition between the landing page and document comparison view with zero blank frame flicker or layout snap.
  • Relaxes non-strict document comparison fallback conditions to gracefully surface simulated previews during local testing and endpoint availability interruptions.

Added

  • Regression test coverage in redline-marketing.spec.mjs asserting continuous visibility of the home container when navigating to Compare files from the header.

Redline comparison lanes telemetry and Metabase analytics dashboard

RELEASE-ui-deploy-20261001-redline-eventing-and-dashboard

Adds first-party eventing across Redline PDF and DOCX comparison lanes, interactive playground, hosted viewer, and developer activation workflows, along with an automated Metabase dashboard setup script.

Added

  • First-party eventing envelope and analytics helpers for Redline with automatic product and domain tagging.
  • End-to-end telemetry across PDF Lane, DOCX Lane, and Playground comparison lifecycles, capturing execution stages, durations, formats, units, and errors.
  • Developer activation tracking for API key creation and copying, code snippet copies across cURL, Python, Node, and Go, documentation section navigation, and dashboard inspects.
  • Automated Metabase dashboard setup script in scripts/setup-metabase-redline-dashboard.sh provisioning 17 Redshift-backed KPI, funnel, performance, diagnostic, and attribution cards.

Improved

  • Captures document format and byte size safely without logging confidential or sensitive contract filenames in analytics payloads.
  • Instruments developer dashboard and usage meter view events and plan management clicks.

Redline change summaries through durable workflows

RELEASE-ui-dev-20261001-redline-workflow

Request a concise summary while the deterministic comparison remains available.

Added

  • Summary requests use the existing subscriber or one-time checkout and durable workflow job.
  • Pending, completed and failed summary states remain independent of document review. Each summary item opens its deterministic change.
  • Developer documentation explains API opt-in, payment identity and result polling. Cleanup-aware UI and API live smoke lanes validate workflow and billing.

Fixed

  • Summary checkout reuses payments for retries and keeps payments separate when the summary version changes.
  • Redline API key creation displays the server-issued key and keeps failed requests in the creation form.
  • Redline recognizes existing sign-in before summary checkout and opens uploaded comparisons with their private viewer link.
  • A real comparison that cannot be loaded shows a retryable error instead of sample changes.
  • Older playground responses cannot overwrite a newer format or input.
  • Summary checkout waits for restored sign-in without delaying document comparison.
  • Summary preparation is shown separately from confirmed workflow queueing.
  • Redline one-time checkout loads the standard Stripe payment form.

Redline brand logo favicons and asset isolation

RELEASE-ui-deploy-20261001-redline-favicon

Updates website favicons and apple touch icons across Redline builds to use the Redline logo mark exclusively, isolating Redline assets from Bookcicle favicons.

Added

  • Generated multi-resolution Redline favicon and app icon assets (favicon.ico, favicon-16x16.png, favicon-32x32.png, favicon-48x48.png, favicon.svg, and apple-touch-icon.png) from the authoritative Redline vector mark.
  • Automated Redline favicon generation in scripts/generate_logo_icons.mjs with binary ICO pack format support.
  • Regression test coverage in scripts/finalize_redline.node.mjs and e2e/specs/redline-marketing.spec.mjs asserting Redline favicon link tags and root asset isolation.

Improved

  • Vite Redline configuration (vite.redline.config.js) strips all Bookcicle favicons from HTML head and injects Redline mark icons for dev and production builds.
  • Added dev and preview server middleware intercepting root /favicon.ico, /favicon.svg, and /apple-touch-icon.png requests to serve Redline assets.
  • Build finalizer (scripts/finalize_redline.mjs) purges Bookcicle favicons from dist-redline and copies Redline favicons to root destinations, guaranteeing strict brand isolation across all Redline public routes.
  • Simplifies document comparison format toggle label from 'Searchable PDF' to 'PDF' with streamlined subtitle copy on /compare.

Redline automatic text uploads

RELEASE-ui-deploy-20261001-redline-inline-uploads-development

Large text comparisons automatically use uploads above the 800 KiB JSON request limit.

Improved

  • Measures the complete UTF-8 JSON request and automatically stages larger HTML, Markdown, JSON, and plain-text inputs using upload IDs.
  • Updates API documentation and JavaScript, Python, and curl examples for the 800 KiB inline boundary and CloudFront edge signing. Simplified examples require the edge association to be enabled.
  • Documents DEV and TEST edge signing activation and the API origins to use when testing integrations.

Redline authentication CORS preflight, environment configuration, and Google Identity CSP

RELEASE-ui-deploy-20261001-redline-auth-cors-and-csp-fix

Fixes email and password login preflight on Redline domains, sets explicit authentication service URLs in deploy workflows, and allows Google Identity Services scripts in Content Security Policy.

Fixed

  • Adds explicit VITE_AUTH_URL and VITE_USER_API_SERVICE environment variable exports to deploy-redline.yaml across dev, test, and prod lanes.
  • Permits accounts.google.com in infra/redline-site.yml ContentSecurityPolicy default to prevent Google Identity Services script blocking on the login page.
  • Ensures authentication service preflight requests from Redline origins succeed without Failed to fetch errors.

Redline auth routing resilience and event signing

RELEASE-ui-deploy-20261001-redline-auth-routing-and-event-signing

Fixes Redline navigation recovery when landing on the login page and ensures events endpoint requests attach payload hashes before bootstrap.

Fixed

  • Ensures eventsClient computes and attaches the x-amz-content-sha256 payload hash header required by CloudFront OAC even before bootstrap patches window.fetch.
  • Fixes navigation freezing when landing on or navigating back from the Redline login page by restoring the home shell, clearing app content, and updating router state.
  • Updates Content Security Policy on Redline deployments to allow accounts.google.com for Google Identity Services.
  • Remaps post-auth dashboard destination to /account#api-keys on Redline.

Improved

  • Accept valid six-page résumés and recover readable PDF text when a document has a damaged trailer.
  • Offer a simple contact option when an unexpected preview failure needs a closer look.
  • Track preview errors by stage and reason, retain uploads for seven days, and add privacy-safe synthetic cases to the CareerGR smoke test.

Free Word and PDF comparison preview

RELEASE-ui-deploy-20261001-redline-direct-compare

Adds a single Redline page for Word and searchable PDF comparison, with a full free text result, a sample, and clearer document limits.

Added

  • Offers one page for comparing two Word files or two searchable PDFs and reviewing the complete detected text result for free.
  • Adds a sample comparison and one-time Word download options that remain unavailable until checkout is ready.

Improved

  • Explains PDF text extraction, scanned-file limits, and the anonymous upload size limit before files are selected.
  • Uses the live upload service contract and shows upload or comparison failures instead of a demonstration result.
  • Clarifies across the Redline pages, API docs, and search descriptions that comparisons cover text content and do not guarantee document layout, formatting, or structure.

Consistent Redline API examples and smoke coverage

RELEASE-ui-deploy-20261001-redline-api-docs-and-smokes

Updates Redline API documentation and copied examples with the correct API origin, exact request body hashes, and complete document upload flows.

Fixed

  • Uses the Bookcicle API hostname and Redline routes consistently across quickstart, API reference, and generated cURL, JavaScript, and Python examples.
  • Shows how to compute the request body hash required for CloudFront Lambda URL OAC and uses returned upload IDs for both documents.
  • Explains that HTML redlines and Word Track Changes use different comparison algorithms and can group the same edits differently.

Improved

  • Adds independent API smoke lanes for the OAC hash boundary, HTML, Word, PDF, and authenticated usage, with a DEV/TEST workflow and local browser regression coverage.

Bookcicle Desktop 0.1.88 — Twain-EA

0.1.88 Twain-EA

Product update for Bookcicle Desktop 0.1.88 eliminating Windows Hello 60-second assertion stalls via silent local platform credential enumeration, resolving an editor crash on cross-block backspace and delete actions, and improving credential enrollment fallback.

Fixed

  • Editor: Resolve slice boundary mismatch during cross-block backspace and delete actions, preventing application crashes (slice_error_fail) on multi-paragraph selections.
  • Windows Hello: Silently enumerate local platform credentials (API v4+) before assertion; if no local credentials exist or none match the account's allowed credentials, trigger platform enrollment immediately without stalling for 60 seconds.
  • Windows Hello: Filter assertion allowed credentials to matching local platform credentials, preventing Windows Hello from waiting indefinitely for security keys or foreign authenticator devices.
  • Windows Hello: Always populate both legacy CredentialList and extended pAllowCredentialList in assertion options as required by Microsoft WebAuthN specification, ensuring reliable prompt dispatch.
  • Windows Hello: Safely bring parent window to top and set foreground focus without risky cross-thread AttachThreadInput manipulation.
  • Windows Hello: Detect watchdog timeouts caused by hung WebAuthN assertion operations and automatically fall back to credential enrollment rather than treating timeouts as user cancellations.

Included

  • Bookcicle Desktop 0.1.88 — Twain-EA bundles Studio UI package 0.1.137-dev.main.3802.1.d97692d2111d.
