What's changed
Live answer flow
- Simplified What to Answer so the answer path goes directly into the main LLM prompt instead of waiting on the old intent-classifier step.
- Removed active-mode/reference retrieval from the hot What-to-Answer path so live answers spend less time on pre-answer retrieval work.
- Strengthened screenshot handling: attached screenshots are sent directly to the answer model, and coding/debugging screenshots now ask for complete code-oriented answers instead of approach-only prose.
- Improved empty-answer feedback so screenshot failures, cooldowns, superseded requests, and genuinely non-actionable moments show different user-facing messages.
Live shell UX
- Suppressed live audio warning banners in the interview overlay. Audio capture failures are still logged for diagnostics, but the live shell no longer expands or shows distracting permission banners during an interview.
- Removed stale live-shell tests that expected those warnings to come back, and replaced them with tests that protect the warning-free overlay behavior.
Interview history and titles
- Added automatic interview title generation from real interview content: prep context, selected documents, transcript, and AI interactions.
- Added title-source persistence so manually renamed interviews are preserved even when post-call processing finishes later.
- Added database migration coverage for generated/manual title state.
Release hygiene
- Added release hygiene instructions to
AGENTS.md: clean duplicate/broken release artifacts, write detailed release notes, and inspect prior releases before publishing. - Cleaned prior AnswerCue release entries by removing partial duplicate release objects and adding notes to useful older releases.
- Ignored local
.env*and.vercelfiles to reduce accidental secret/config commits.
Verification
npm testpassed locally: 1024 tests, 983 passing, 41 skipped, 0 failing.
Installers
GitHub Actions will attach the platform installers to this release:
- macOS Apple Silicon DMG/ZIP
- macOS Intel DMG/ZIP
- Windows Intel x64 NSIS installer
- updater metadata files (
latest-mac.yml,latest.yml) and blockmaps where generated
Known notes
- Windows SmartScreen reputation can still appear for new builds until the signing/reputation path has enough trust history.
- If a platform asset is missing immediately after release creation, wait for the release workflows to finish and refresh the assets list.
