v1.0.0 — Initial public release

1.0.0 (2026-06-19)

Initial public release of Learn Wren — a self-hosted, open-source educational video platform with DRM-protected playback, deployed live at https://learnwren.com.

🚀 Features

• Identity & access — registration with email-verification gate, login/logout, brute-force lockout with email unlock, logged-out password reset, session cookies, and role-based access control (Student, Instructor, Admin). Self-service profile editing (display name, biography, avatar), email change, and password change.
• Course authoring — instructors create and structure courses into modules and lessons, upload cover images, and publish behind an eligibility gate.
• Video & DRM — video upload, a GCP Transcoder pipeline producing AES-128-encrypted HLS, and protected adaptive playback (hls.js / native Safari) with WebVTT captions.
• Lesson materials — attach and securely deliver downloadable supplementary materials to enrolled students.
• Discovery & enrollment — public course catalog, course detail pages, and student enrollment.
• Learning experience — lesson player with progress tracking, mark-complete, resume-where-you-left-off, and a course outline panel.
• Instructor dashboard — enrolled-student roster with CSV export, course analytics, and new-module notifications.
• Administration — instructor-application review, a searchable user directory, and role management (promote/demote, suspend, delete + anonymise).
• Production deployment — Firebase Hosting + gen2 Cloud Functions, Firestore, Cloud Storage, custom domain, security headers, and a pnpm deploy runbook.

🔒 Quality & Hardening

• All 15 libraries under CI-enforced mutation testing (≥ 80% adjusted), an OWASP pre-deploy security review, and multi-agent review passes.
