What we’ve shipped

When a sign-up needs to be rolled back (bad invite code, transient Clerk outage), both the local account and the Clerk identity now come down together, or neither does. The previous path could quietly leave a "ghost" account that looked signed up but had no invite consumed. Two affected users on 2026-05-01 had their email verification restored manually.

Hitting prayer or concept endpoints without a session now returns a clean "Unauthorized" response. Previously the unauth case escaped as a server error and showed up as a spike in error tracking, drowning out real bugs.

If you landed on the sign-up page while already signed in — for example, after an admin verified your email — you'd see a confusing error instead of getting into the app. You now go straight to onboarding instead.

The Stream page now shows every entry type in one unified feed — captures, notes, prayers, devotionals, companion sessions, weekly arcs — instead of a flat capture list. Each card opens into a drawer for inline detail. Date grouping, filter tabs (All / Captures / Notes / Prayers / Devotionals / Companion), live-session banner, a capture input pinned to the bottom, and a "+ New" menu for jumping into anything from one place.

A new sidebar folder tree and a Library page give you one place to organize notes, captures, and prayers across every surface. Star a folder to pin it to the top. Drag items between folders. Open a folder to see breadcrumbs and sub-folders. Reorganizing never leaves items half-filed. The folder chip on each card lets you re-file in one click.

A Saturday-evening Telegram message lands with a one-paragraph lede, this-week stats (captures, sessions, notes, primary book studied), prayer summaries from your active board, and the scripture refs that came up most. Quiet weeks get gentler copy ("a quieter week — sometimes that's the point") instead of a stat dump.

Things you do on the web — raise a prayer, save a note, end a session, confirm a theme, mark a prayer answered — now ping your Telegram chat with a short observational note. Events that started on Telegram don't echo back. If you do the same thing five times in two minutes, you get one ping, not five.

Browse the same unified feed from inside the bot, paginated. Now you have parity between web and chat for what you've been up to.

Long active sessions get a single check-in ("still in 1 Cor 13?" after an hour). Prayer reminders and forgotten-prayer nudges look different from each other so you can tell at a glance which is which. Prayers and notes don't get nudged twice for the same thing under different wording.

The Stream's daily devotional card shows the scripture ref + opening line first so you can decide whether to dive in without expanding.

Hitting /stream without a session used to throw a server error; it now redirects you to sign-in like every other authed page.

New notes were saving with the literal title "Untitled" instead of leaving the title blank, so typing in the title field appended to it. Now the field is empty by default and the placeholder reads "Untitled" until you write something.

Switching surfaces while the card was fetching could leave a half-finished request that the page later complained about. It now cancels cleanly.

Creating a folder and dropping an item into it in one gesture used to leave the item half-filed if the second step failed. The flow either succeeds completely or leaves the item where it was.

The /start linking flow undersold what was wired up; it now lists Stream browsing, prayer raising, note-saving from chat, and the Saturday weekly arc.

The user-facing share URL stays /@username/[slug] — that hasn't changed and your existing share links still work. Internally the route is now namespaced so adding new top-level pages won't collide with usernames in the future.

Less restating things you already know, fewer hedge words, more direct observational voice. Quality re-checked against the eval suite for each surface.

When the weekly arc Telegram lands at 6pm, the regular Saturday devotional now drops the parts that overlap so you don't read the same three sentences twice in five minutes.

The dove reads tonally neutral whether the answer was joyful or somber — a sick parent who passed shouldn't get a sunrise emoji.

The ? help button sits in the same spot on every authed page; loading skeletons match the layouts they stand in for; keyboard shortcuts no longer fire from inside form inputs.

Notes, Companion, Prayer Board, Knowledge, and Search all display page-matched placeholder layouts the moment you navigate to them — no blank screens or layout jumps while data fetches.

Tailwind class overrides passed via className now reliably win over defaults. Stacking multiple variants no longer produces unexpected merged styles.

Any page that fetches data can now use <Page loading error empty emptyState> to get loading skeletons, auto-dismissing error banners, and empty states without writing that logic from scratch each time.

Switching between the web companion and your Telegram bot could trigger a crash. Both surfaces now stay in sync without errors.

Some users saw an error when opening their notes list. That's resolved.
