J4C Changelog

1.9.0 - 2026-03-16

Added

• Backlog & Feedback page — new top-level /backlog route where all users can submit bugs, feature requests, and general feedback. Entries are fully transparent: everyone sees all submissions, statuses, priorities, and admin notes.
• Users can edit their own entries (title and description) after submission.
• Admins can manage all entries inline: set status (new/planned/in progress/done/rejected), priority (low/medium/high/critical), add admin notes, and delete entries.
• Filterable by type and status.

Fixed

• Sidebar now uses apiFetch() instead of raw fetch() for the /api/me call, matching CLAUDE.md conventions.

1.8.3 - 2026-03-16

Removed

• Removed the Admin Evaluations feature entirely: eval page, API routes (/api/admin/evals), EvalRunORM model, evaluation.py module, and worker task. The feature was non-functional (no error handling caused infinite polling) and provided no practical value.

1.8.2 - 2026-03-16

Improved

• Citation titles now show the actual article name instead of the generic "SAP Help Portal | SAP Online Help". Browser page title extraction uses <h1> content, and connectors prefer the specific title from SAP's API/search results over generic HTML <title> tags.
• Citations panel in the sidebar now shows a brief excerpt below each title for better context.

1.8.1 - 2026-03-16

Improved

• Added explicit "Promote to Admin" / "Demote to User" action buttons in User Management with confirmation dialogs, replacing the subtle role toggle pill.

1.8.0 - 2026-03-15

Removed

• Removed the support.sap.com connector and all references. The SAP Support portal routes most queries through SAP for Me (restricted) and provided no useful insight for answering consultant questions.
• Removed the SAP Session feature entirely: browser gateway (noVNC + X11 + VNC), encrypted storage state, SAP session settings page, and all related API routes (/api/sap-session/*).
• Removed Dockerfile.browser and the browser-gateway Docker Compose service.
• Removed SapSessionORM database model and repository functions.
• Removed browser gateway configuration variables (J4C_BROWSER_GATEWAY_*, J4C_VAULT_MASTER_KEY, J4C_BROWSER_SESSION_*, J4C_BROWSER_JOIN_TOKEN_*).

Simplified

• The agent now searches only SAP Help and Community (2 connectors instead of 3), reducing discovery latency.
• The worker no longer fetches or decrypts SAP session state before running queries.
• The Docker Compose stack is reduced from 6 services to 5 (postgres, redis, api, worker, web).
• Configuration is simplified with fewer required environment variables.

1.7.1 - 2026-03-10

Added

• deploy/ folder with AWS VM deployment documentation and production docker-compose.yml.
• .env.example template covering all required configuration variables.
• Full deployment guide covering GitHub onboarding, first deploy, NPM proxy setup, and maintenance operations.

1.7.0 - 2026-03-08

Improved

• Consultant answers are now conversational chatbot-style instead of formal audit/report format. Answers read naturally with inline hyperlinked sources woven into the text.
• Conversation titles are now descriptive full phrases (8-15 words) that clearly summarize the topic, instead of short truncated fragments.
• Increased synthesis token budget from 1,400 to 2,000 for richer answers.
• Heuristic fallback answers also follow the conversational style with inline source links.

1.6.0 - 2026-03-08

Added

• API usage accounting: token counts (input, output, cache read/write) and USD cost are captured per agent run using Anthropic's response.usage data.
• Cost badge in chat progress panel showing query cost and running user total after each run.
• /usage page for all users: total spend, total queries, and per-run cost history.
• /admin/usage page for admins: per-user consumption aggregated by hour, day, week, month, 3 months, or 1 year.
• /admin/model-prices page for admins: inline-editable model pricing table; pre-seeded with Claude 3.7 Sonnet pricing.
• model_prices database table and input_tokens, output_tokens, cache_read_tokens, cache_write_tokens, cost_usd, model_id columns on agent_runs.
• New API endpoints: GET /api/me/usage, GET /api/admin/usage, GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE /api/admin/model-prices.

1.5.0 - 2026-03-08

Added

• Admin user management interface at /admin/users: create users, reset passwords, toggle admin role, deactivate/delete accounts.
• Forced first-login password change: users with a temporary password are hard-redirected to /change-password and cannot navigate elsewhere until they set a new password.
• Self-service password change for all users under Settings → Change Password.
• Welcome email template auto-generated when creating or resetting a user, ready to copy and send.
• New API endpoints: GET/POST /api/admin/users, PATCH/DELETE /api/admin/users/{id}, POST /api/admin/users/{id}/reset-password, POST /api/me/change-password.
• is_active and must_change_password columns on the users table; inactive users are blocked at login.

1.4.2 - 2026-03-08

Fixed

• Added Next.js middleware to enforce authentication on all protected routes. Unauthenticated users are now redirected to /login immediately instead of being able to view the chat UI before credentials are checked.

1.4.1 - 2026-03-07

Fixed

• Rebalanced the consultant chat layout so Consultant Chat and Progress each use half of the main screen on large displays.

1.3.1 - 2026-03-07

Fixed

Added
