Introduced a major Remote Control epic: users can start pairing from desktop, scan a QR code, and control Codex Chat from phone via a web/PWA companion.
Shipped an installable Remote Control PWA with stronger mobile UX, reconnect handling, and reliable transcript sync behavior.
Rebuilt and hardened the relay backend around stronger auth, replay/rate-limit protection, durability options, and production-ready operations.
Added substantial runtime and reliability work across concurrency tuning, diagnostics, and release safety.

Added desktop remote session controls with QR link flow and session stop controls.
Added in-session Add Device join-token refresh flow without ending active sessions.
Added explicit desktop approval requirement for pairing requests.
Added trusted-device management with list and revoke actions.
Added device identity display improvements during pairing/reconnect.
Improved remote onboarding and reconnect behavior for users.

Evolved from scaffold to a redesigned, single-page conversation-first mobile UX.
Added install readiness assets (icons, Apple touch icon) and launch polish.
Added stronger safe-area + keyboard viewport behavior for mobile devices.
Added bounded offline command queue and reconnect flush behavior.
Added sync freshness and resume/resnapshot flows.
Added transcript UX upgrades: better cards, anchoring, and composer ergonomics.
Added auth-gated UI so projects/thread panes stay hidden until device authentication succeeds.
Added mobile Playwright E2E coverage and expanded QA workflow.

Added secure relay scaffolding and progressed to hardened Rust relay paths.

Added Cloud Armor guidance and production alert provisioning scripts.
Added domain/cert cutover work to bikz.cc hostnames and ingress alignment.
Fixed cross-pod routing regressions and compatibility edge cases.

Added relay load/soak harnesses and wrapper scripts.
Added machine-readable load artifacts and gate scripts.
Added latency/backpressure/auth-failure gate checks.
Added Node-vs-Rust protocol compatibility gates in stage workflows.

Added recents/thread ordering and deduplication fixes in sidebar.
Improved empty/draft/thread-state UX consistency.
Expanded mods rail improvements: grouping, icon identity, scope semantics, draft compatibility.

Added CI-first release-prod path with fallback handling and stronger release resiliency.
