v0.31.1

Fixed

• Stopped GPT Image 2.5 / Flare from snapping the MODEL menu back to Nano Banana Pro after generate. Client BYOK provider resolution now recognizes openai-2.5 and openai-flare (so a shared OpenAI key counts), credit-funded picks are no longer auto-switched away when another provider key exists, and ImageDisplay refine sync keeps a valid toolbar selection instead of falling through to gemini.

PixTaffy v0.30.0

Added

• A real three-credit balance for unregistered visitors, enforced against both the anonymous Firebase identity and the browser installation.
• A protected guest-balance endpoint so the studio can show remaining credits without delaying the public welcome page.
• Guest-ledger tests and a clean-browser smoke path for blocked guest-session dependencies.

Changed

• GPT Image 2 is now the default for new visitors and accounts. Its two-credit guest run leaves one credit for a Standard image.
• Email-verified starter credits increased from five to ten.
• Guest visitors can choose PixTaffy-funded models and see generation cost and remaining balance.
• The primary welcome action now says “Create your first image.”

Fixed

• Anonymous-session and generation waits now end in visible errors instead of endless loading states.
• Local development can use a registered App Check debug token without including it in production builds.
• Guest request keys rotate after successful delivery so an older cached image cannot replace a new request.

PixTaffy v0.29.4

Changed

• Refined Mona Sans headline and counter weights across the welcome, pricing, and What’s New pages.
• Tightened wrapped hero button labels and added consistent hand cursors to enabled controls.

Fixed

• Made the signed-out pricing balance open the login flow as a real accessible button.

This patch is changelog-only and does not add a What’s New card or release image.

PixTaffy v0.29.3

PixTaffy now opens the public welcome and pricing experience without waiting on Firebase App Check, installation setup, account records, or history. Authentication has a nine-second recovery path with a visible retry action, signup copy reflects whether an image is actually pending, and a clean-profile browser test protects the first-visit path. What’s New is now a curated set of 12 substantial public launches instead of a card for every patch, with eight surviving older launches updated to the current PixTaffy 3D candy-character art direction.

PixTaffy v0.29.2

PixTaffy v0.29.2 makes menus close consistently when you click or tap elsewhere, updates the bundled MCP server to the 2026-07-28 specification with legacy-client compatibility, and deploys the billing-reservation index needed for stale-reservation cleanup.

See CHANGELOG.md for the full release notes.

PixTaffy v0.29.1

PixTaffy v0.29.0

PixTaffy v0.29.0

• Adds the new first-visit welcome page and direct free-generation path.
• Gives signed-in members a View welcome page action in the account menu.
• Makes Build Studio frame-name double-click editing stable, with Enter to commit.

PixTaffy v0.28.0

The PixTaffy candy crew has arrived. This release gives the pricing page a brighter logo-matched palette, candy-themed offer names, clear image estimates, exact saved-generation limits, and a plain explanation of free versus credit-powered Build Studio tools. It also adds the recurring taffy characters to What's New and feedback confirmation.

PixTaffy v0.27.0

PixTaffy can now turn in-app feedback into labeled GitHub issues.

• Send bugs, ideas, questions, and other notes from the footer or account menu.
• Attach an optional screenshot after reviewing the public-visibility warning.
• Keep contact email and raw Firebase identity private.
• Protect submissions with Auth, App Check, rate limits, idempotency, and server-only GitHub credentials.
• Route administrator notes into the agent-todo queue.

PixTaffy v0.25.0

PixTaffy has a new name, a transparent candy-bright brandmark, and a new home on Firebase Hosting.

This release preserves existing accounts, galleries, presets, API tokens, Firebase resources, browser storage, and legacy MCP environment aliases.
