Released v0.8.7. - The project Articles tab lists processed stories across runs and supports search by headline or URL so editors can open review without knowing which run produced an item.
- The project Runs tab paginates through long run histories.
- Project overview statistics show average AI cost and processing time per processed item, with flow breakdowns aligned to that view.
- Deleting a flow that produced article metadata completes successfully; saved articles keep their tags while run provenance for those tags is cleared.
- The Stylebook connection graph caps the neighborhood view for well-connected records; the full connection list remains on the List tab.
- Fixed connection graph layout, map tiles, and navigation refresh when moving between Agate and Stylebook pages.

Released v0.8.6. - Stylebook connections now maintain one open relationship per record pair and nature, collect supporting article evidence on that relationship, and let editors close or reopen links, review current or former status, and explore a neighborhood graph with a detail panel.
- Automatic connection inference is more reliable and can be configured on Backfield Output with a dedicated model; it defaults off.
- Agate JSON Input accepts uploaded JSON files (up to 20) for small batch runs without cloud storage.
- Backfield Output can save an article even when a flow extracts no entities, such as metadata-only or passthrough pipelines.
- Agate requires Geocode to follow Place Extract on the same branch.
- The API Playground include picker offers Attached images on article list and search routes.

Released v0.8.4. - Article list, search, and entity article feeds can optionally include attached images (up to 10 per article) with
include=images. - S3-ingested articles now record their publication outlet for search and filtering instead of a generic pipeline label.
- Stylebook editors can apply corrected catalog geography onto linked article places so geographic search follows the maintained Stylebook shape.
- The API Playground can remember multiple project API keys in the current browser tab for quick switching.
- Item rerun and replay can reprocess through the currently saved flow when the flow has changed since the original run.
- AI model presets in organization settings are generated from the LiteLLM catalog so current flagship models appear without waiting for a product release.

Released v0.8.3. - Stylebook canonical records now store typed attributes—text, number, or yes/no values—instead of freeform metadata entries.
- The public API returns canonical attributes on entity detail responses and supports attribute filters on list and search routes.
- Organization administrators can edit a member's display name and role and re-enable a disabled account.
- Stylebook home statistics, project scope selection, and unlinking the last mention from a canonical record behave more reliably.
- Entity extraction with GPT-5.6 models is less likely to fail on truncated output.

Released v0.8.2. - Organization administrators can configure project webhooks that send signed notifications when flows finish, articles change, or Stylebook canonical records update.
- A durable project event feed helps receivers recover missed webhook deliveries.
- Fixed dropdown and select menus appearing behind dialog overlays.

- Public API routes that filter by mention role now accept multiple
nature values (OR). - Renamed the S3 Input control to “Reprocess completed files” for clarity.
