ScholarScout v1.6.1

v1.6.1 Release Notes (2026-06-16)

Dashboard workflow polish

• Added a shipped Export All button in the main dashboard controls for full-run Markdown export
• Added Export Selected, so users can pick a smaller working set instead of exporting every generated idea
• Export output now carries refinement notes, user-fit context, evidence claims, source papers, and risk flags
• Added a lightweight run summary strip so users can immediately see category spread and the latest session save timestamp

Reusable research setup

• Added lightweight run presets for saving and re-applying favorite category, context, and personality configurations
• Added a visible preference memory summary in Settings so vote reasons start surfacing as readable steering hints
• Added Goal Style steering with suggested defaults from Goal and mode-aware options for Academic, Product, and Develop workflows
• Goal Style now persists through presets, session state, exports, idea cards, idea detail modal, and pipeline snapshots

Stability and release fit

• CI now ignores integration tests explicitly instead of relying on collection-time markers
• Capability route no longer breaks ScholarScout startup when capabilityscout is not installed; the route degrades gracefully with a clear API error
• Stale structural tests for unfinished dashboard experiments are skipped so shipped UI and test expectations stay aligned
• Release notes and shipped scope were tightened so v1.6.x docs no longer overclaim unfinished dashboard shells

Testing

• Added coverage for Goal Style defaults and prompt steering
• Core Python tests, JS tests, compile checks, and local dashboard smoke checks passed for the shipped v1.6.1 path
