What shipped today

The dashboard got a complete redesign — the single biggest UX change since the March simplification. The old dashboard was a vertical stack of lists and stat cards that looked like every other page in the app. The new one is a command center: a smart greeting with a one-liner summarizing what needs attention (“2 drafts ready for review · 1 interview waiting · 8 posts queued”), color-coded action cards for each item needing the user (blue for review, amber for interview/stalled, red for failed posts), a proportional pipeline bar showing the content funnel at a glance, and distribution stats alongside the top 3 ideas. Everything visible without scrolling or clicking. The admin activity log, full ideas list, and recent content list were all removed — those views exist on their own pages. Pipeline bar segments are clickable, linking to filtered content/ideas pages. #743 closed, completing v1.5 (50/50).

The social queue page also got a performance fix — select(*) with no limit replaced by 18 explicit columns, archived posts excluded from the initial SSR load, and a cap of 200 rows. Filed #1934 for the matching fetchPosts server action.

On the agency side, Synaxis AI’s product launch engagement progressed significantly. Answered two rounds of questions (launch questionnaire corrections and engagement brief review), confirmed Jeffrey Jones as available for testimonial, clarified iOS as “coming soon,” locked the tagline as “AI for execution. Humans for judgment.” (corrected from a transposed version), and set the 90-day target at 25-50 active workspaces.

A .vercelignore was added after discovering the CLI deploy hit a 10mb body limit from root node_modules. This fixes vercel --prod for future manual deploys.

Completed

• #743: Dashboard redesign (complete rewrite as command center)
• #1862: Social queue select(*) with no limit (explicit columns + limit 200)
• v1.5 milestone: 50/50 closed
• Synaxis engagement brief approved with corrections
• .vercelignore added for CLI deploys
• Pipeline bar clickable segments

Release progress

• v1.5: 50/50 closed (complete)
• v2.0-v2.2: All complete

Carry-over

• #1934: fetchPosts action also uses select(*) (ready-for-prep)
• #1935-#1937: Social queue API issues (ready-for-dev, filed by dev-loop)
• #1829: Archive legacy PostHog events (ready-for-prep)
• diktura#101: Link frontend to Vercel (not started)
• Synaxis launch engagement: competitive analysis is next deliverable

Risks

No new risks. Existing open risks unchanged (13 untested handlers, no web tests, missing error boundaries, MCP tokens in-memory, prod DB in dev).

Flags and watch-outs

• v1.5 is fully closed. No open milestones with active work remaining. Consider creating a v1.6 or v2.3 milestone for the next batch.
• The .vercelignore excludes engine/, apple/, docs/, and markdown files from CLI deploys. If a future feature needs files from those directories in the Vercel build, the ignore list will need updating.
• Jeffrey Jones confirmed as available for testimonial — Synaxis will coordinate.
• Memory updated: Jeffrey Jones is the only active user (not Stacy). Old Stacy references removed.

Next session

• Execute #1935-#1937 (social queue API issues, all ready-for-dev)
• Prep and execute #1934 (fetchPosts action cleanup)
• Prep and execute #1829 (PostHog event archival)
• Consider creating a new milestone for upcoming work
• Synaxis competitive analysis may need product input
