    • Add weekly and daily view options to admin calendar
    • Cloud automations never run: unattended cloud dispatch has no GitHub credential
    • Fix: claude-code PTY launch line is 692 bytes against a 512 budget (macOS silently discards past 1024)
    • Security: github-token-rotation.test.ts prints a live GitHub token to stdout on failure

    • Setup and blocked tickets: run the fix instead of printing a raw error string

    • Create smoke and regression tests and fix them daily · FRED-8AK327: Aug 2, 2026
    • Instrument the activation funnel: project create attempted / succeeded / failed
    • Automation run tickets get LLM-drafted titles and a structured trigger briefing
    • Remove PR and checkout buttons from compact view

    Fixed

    • make github-token-rotation.test.ts hermetic against the host's git credential chain

    • read git worktree registration through resolved paths (symlinked repo parents)
    • make the LLM-proxy injection test hermetic instead of reading the host env

    • Allow automations to support any task type, not just software engineering
    • Verify the managed wire end-to-end, then clear the Managed withhold
    • doctor: linger reports `skip` when lingering is simply OFF: the reboot warning never fires
    • Automations: fire Cloud automations from a Vercel cron (server-side clock)
    • Ship the accepted managed margin package: markup 0.4, overage default-ON, HOBBY allowance scoping
    • Windows setup: install the missing prerequisites from the app instead of handing the user a command to copy
    • Desktop: the GitHub OAuth window is a raw Electron BrowserWindow with the default menu bar

    • Automations: add the Fredrin Cloud row to the Runs on picker
    • Simplify compact-view verification check message to just show PR button location
    • Tier the managed sub-key mint cap by plan (HOBBY $5 / paid $50)
    • Automations: add a Cloud run target (schema + spawn plumbing)
    • Move the Managed withhold server-side and close the three back-door auto-enables
    • Enforce managed spend mid-session at the usage sink (park + alert)
    • Pin a cost-appropriate default model for managed runs (HOBBY allowance buys 0.4 of an Opus ticket)
    • Admin: surface the OpenRouter platform balance and total authorized managed draw
    • Onboarding: delete the guided first-win path
    • Onboarding: replace the silent install + metered-key flip with one consent card
    • Fix acceptance checks counter showing 3/4 when all 4 are checked
    • Windows SmartScreen: we are 7 days into earning publisher reputation: unblock the pipeline and wait

    • Replace red 'checks didn't pass' messaging with neutral X/X acceptance checks count
    • Rotate GitHub tokens under long-running jobs on both delivery paths (broker + remote agent)

    • Add ability to set default merge branch from project settings
    • Add sender postal address to marketing emails (CAN-SPAM), configurable from /admin
