What's New

UI orientation map — New users now get a spatial map of the interface at the end of onboarding, and it lives permanently in Menu → Help. Three zones: left panel (personas & rooms), top-right menu (your data & settings), chat tools (context, memory, images). Click any zone to expand what's in it. Sounds obvious in retrospect. Wasn't there before.

Instant tooltips on chat tool buttons — The ✦, 💡, 🎨, ✂️, and 🖼️ buttons now explain themselves immediately on hover. No more waiting two seconds for the browser to decide you were serious about wanting to know what the lightbulb does.

CYP rooms now tell you how extraction works — When you create or edit a Choose Your Path room, there's now an inline note explaining that Ei won't automatically scan for Topics and People in branching conversations — and that 💡 is how you trigger it when you're ready. This was a genuine gap. Glad it's closed.

Fixed

Status dot no longer gets clipped — The little colored indicator on persona avatars was being cut off by the avatar's circle. One CSS property. Took longer to notice than to fix.

Help modal stale content — The old Help modal listed keyboard shortcuts for a mouse-driven app and had a "you can always undo!" tip that wasn't true. Both gone. The modal now shows the same zone map as onboarding.

Stale "Traits" references — Human Data doesn't have a Traits tab anymore (we removed it a while back when it became clear we couldn't define it well enough to be useful). The web README, TUI README, and Ei's own system knowledge were still listing it. Cleaned up.

Image synthesis button disambiguation — The 🖼️ button on each message (generate from this message) and the 🖼️ button in the toolbar (synthesize from selected messages) were the same icon. The toolbar one is now 🎨. Your eyes will thank you.

Under the Hood

  • ZoneMap is a shared component — onboarding and Help modal both use the same source so they can't drift apart
  • Tooltip align prop handles edge-case clipping for rightmost buttons
  • E2E test selectors tightened up after tooltip DOM presence exposed some overly broad locators
