Preserves system theme preference across embeds, makes compare toolbar compact, adds high-contrast syntax highlighting in light mode, implements Word Track Changes job polling in docx compare view, and adds zoom/layout controls with prominent change highlights to the page render view.
Fixed
- Embedded iframes (/embed/*) and demo showcases now apply theme classes and CSS color-scheme locally to their document root without mutating parent localStorage[bookcicleTheme].
- Standalone Redline now honors and dynamically tracks OS prefers-color-scheme changes when in system mode.
- Resolved an unhandled ReferenceError in playground text comparisons that occurred when mounting source pages on non-document diffs.
- Word Track Changes export polling in docx compare view now polls job completion and exposes the download link when ready instead of remaining queued indefinitely.
- Syntax highlighting tokens in light mode now use WCAG AAA accessible color variables while preserving dark terminal colors in dark mode and playground code blocks.
Changed
- Comparison document toolbar and track changes banner now feature a compact, streamlined layout preventing metadata collisions and overflow on narrower viewports.
- Page render view now includes Side-by-Side and Single Column (Large) view modes, interactive zoom controls (Fit, 100%, 125%, 150%+), high-visibility outlines on change marks, and per-page change count badges.
Validation
- Playwright E2E and Jest unit test suites verify system theme persistence, embed style scoping, page rendering controls, and document comparisons across all supported formats.

Refresh performance documentation from live DEV comparisons and show measured timings separately from buffered expectations.
Documentation
- Live DEV benchmarks cover native DOCX and PDF comparison through HTML/JSON response rendering, plus HTML, Markdown, plain text and JSON snippets.
- Measured server timings remain unchanged. Expected processing figures add a labeled 50 ms buffer to measured p50 values.
- Reports distinguish uploaded and direct inputs, nominal DOCX corpus dimensions, actual PDF page counts, repeated warm requests and concurrent comparisons. Original-page rendering is a separate workload.
Validation
- Performance figures are published only for qualified comparisons from a complete run with verified temporary-account cleanup. Failed qualification cases are disclosed without timing claims. Regression checks validate report calculations and documentation disclosures.
- Benchmark requests disable comparison-cache reuse: snippet responses must confirm the bypass, and native document requests omit idempotency keys.

- The API adds pageRendering, default false. PDF previews preserve source pages; DOCX previews render source-page layouts. Preview failures preserve the text result.
- Private page links expire after 15 minutes. Fonts and pagination may differ from Word; repeated text and unmapped changes remain accessible in the complete semantic comparison.
Validation and documentation
- Added page-preview smoke lanes for direct and uploaded DOCX/PDF requests, omitted/false/true options, PDF byte preservation and private retrieval.
- Published fresh uncached DEV timings for snippets, native documents and optional page preparation. Raw observations stay unchanged; planning expectations add a labeled 50 ms buffer.
- Shortened API and engineering guides, folded long examples, and corrected the native JSON, Word export and request-signing explanations.

Compare DOCX and searchable PDF source documents directly, preserve supported formatting changes, and recover through the HTML engine when needed.
Improved
- DOCX comparisons use source paragraphs, headings, lists, tables, headers, footers and footnotes instead of converted HTML for alignment.
- Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, superscript, subscript and link changes remain valid inline changes. Word run splitting alone does not produce a change.
- Searchable PDF comparisons retain actual source pages. Explicit Word page breaks are retained without inventing rendered Word page counts.
- Recoverable native comparison or rendering failures retry through the HTML engine; reconstruction checks prevent successful responses with missing content. Invalid, encrypted, oversized and image-only documents remain errors.
Validation
- 135 service tests, 171 shared-engine tests, release-build recovery checks and local browser checks pass.
- Local benchmarks include source parsing, native diff, HTML/JSON response generation, reconstruction checks, sanitization and payload encoding. Native is faster in 13 of 15 cases; the edited 100- and 250-page Word fixtures are about 7% and 17% slower.

Updated documentation navigation, sidebar links, and search results to use /docs/#<section> routing, preventing stripping of the /docs route when linking to document sections.
Fixed
- Ensured documentation sidebar links and section jumps preserve the /docs/#<section> pathname in the browser URL bar instead of routing to root /#<section>.
- Added history state synchronization so direct visits, back/forward button events, and in-content section links cleanly maintain the /docs/# route.
- Normalized legacy /docs#<section> and root /#doc-<section> URLs to canonical /docs/#<section>.

Paid membership allowances now follow the subscription anniversary, including monthly allowances for annual plans.
Changed
- Cancel plan now asks for confirmation, stops paid renewal, preserves access through the paid period, and retains metered subscriptions.
- Creator and Creator Pro allowances reset on the membership anniversary. Annual subscribers receive a monthly allowance rather than a yearly pool.
- HTML and DOCX comparisons share the same allowance; opt-in overages continue through the existing monthly metered subscription at $0.005 per Creator unit or $0.004 per Creator Pro unit.
- Basic and anonymous allowances retain UTC calendar-month resets.

Send PDF and DOCX pairs up to 1 MiB combined directly and preserve visible, consistent additions and deletions.
Improved
- PDF and DOCX pairs up to 1 MiB combined skip upload authorization and input file transfer; larger pairs retain the upload flow. The service keeps a 2 MiB combined acceptance limit.
- PDF previews preserve insertion/deletion wrappers and content outside page sections. Word additions and deletions use consistent readable colors in both themes.
- Image content is omitted from text comparison; image-only and unreadable PDFs return clear errors rather than empty successful comparisons.
- Document API guidance includes direct and upload patterns, byte-based usage, request digest examples, and DOCX/PDF smoke lanes. Benchmarks now show server processing only.
- The CloudFormation-managed WAF body-size exception is scoped to JSON POSTs on document compare routes; shared rate limits and other protections remain active.
- Developer docs remove consumer checkout pricing and chat-review instructions. Quickstart includes minimal Python, curl and JavaScript requests, with syntax highlighting throughout code examples.
- The Customers row identifies Bookcicle Studio with its pen mark and Studio link.

Refreshing or directly navigating to documentation, comparison, or pricing pages now reliably preserves the target view across dev and preview environments.
Fixed
- Fixed route refresh behavior so direct navigation and browser reloads on /docs, /compare, and other dedicated routes retain their view rather than falling back to the landing page.
- Separated pre-rendered static routes from unrendered SPA paths in route handling, delivering pre-rendered route bundles directly.
- Hydration preserves the active documentation drawer and reading position while properly synchronizing navigation classes and document titles.
Improved
- Removed consumer-focused Compare files link from top navigation to keep developer navigation clean and focused.
- Simplified developer authentication copy to focus on public API credentials, keeping implementation details out of the public docs.
- Streamlined API base URL guidance to public endpoints and retained x-amz-content-sha256 payload signing specifications in dedicated note blocks.
