Understory v0.1.0-alpha.2

The name is finished under the hood, not just up front. Free during alpha, no account required.

What's in this release

The machine identity is Understory now, all the way down. Bundle ID, binary name, update feed, and icon are the fern mark, not the old AxiomWeaver chevron. If you installed under the old name, the auto-updater carries your existing projects across automatically. If anything looks wrong after updating, tell us right away on Discord, we want to know immediately, not after the fact.

Save integrity, re-verified under real failure, not just re-read. We forced real save failures on purpose this time and watched what the app actually told us, rather than trusting the code to describe itself accurately. It told the truth: a red "Save failed" indicator with the real underlying error, never a false "Saved," never a stack of toasts piling up.

In-app bug reports and feature requests actually work now. The "Report a Bug" and "Send Feedback" flows were silently broken in every build up to this one, submissions just failed with no visible error. Fixed, with real rate limiting and authentication behind the scenes so it stays reliable.

Crash and orphan recovery is more honest. The app now distinguishes a project it can genuinely recover from debris it can't, instead of staying quiet either way.

Naming consistency sweep. One name per surface: Corkboard (briefly showing as "Pinboard" in a couple of places), "Open Appearance" (was "Open Theme Manager"), and a handful of Timeline command disambiguations.

A real pass of UI bug fixes, found by actually driving the app, not just reading the code. A genuinely empty project no longer opens to a blank void, it has a real empty state now. Lexicon cards no longer truncate mid-word or show a harsh placeholder scrim in light mode. Corkboard note/synopsis/TODO cards place correctly instead of silently failing to appear, and a stray overlay on the Corkboard Hub no longer eats clicks after you leave it. Draft History's Escape key closes the right thing instead of the whole panel. Custom color swatches adapt their lightness per theme instead of going muddy in light mode. Orphaned-comment detection fires reliably after the anchor text it's tracking gets deleted.

Removed rather than left half-working. The "Search Online" image search (Pixabay) is gone, upload-only now, it wasn't reliable enough to keep. A couple of dead command-palette entries (Entity Navigator, Panel Overlay Mode) that never actually did anything are gone too.

Linux: fixed a real AppImage crash on Wayland sessions. The app was hardcoding an X11 backend override that broke real Wayland setups. It now only overrides when it should.

Known issues, being worked next

The Import Wizard's stat-block detection can still merge two structurally different schemas into one, and Entity Discovery / Stat Block scan can create duplicate entities for the same character under slightly different names. If you bring an existing project in, check the Lexicon after import before trusting it blind, we're not hiding this, it's next on the list.
