v0.4.7
September 10, 2026, 5:47 PM EDT
Your constellation, side by side

Browse stars with cluster chips and compact rows, see what a cluster shares, and choose comparison partners in the designed pair cards.

Created

  • Cluster filter chips, compact person rows and a cluster shape map with shared gates.
  • Searchable comparison pair cards, directional contributions, shared open centers and authority sections.
  • A compact constellation action menu, statistics scope chips and cluster distribution bars.
  • Save and Share card controls beside the composite chart, with collapsible comparison details.

v0.4.6
September 10, 2026, 5:24 PM EDT
Consistent focus across the chart

Planets and Mandala now use deliberate hover previews, preserve a clicked gate while exploring, and keep keyboard navigation and saved images consistent with that selection.

Created

  • Temporary gate previews that return to your selected gate when you move away.

Fixed

  • Immediate relationship highlighting in Planets and Mandala.
  • Repeated Mandala keyboard navigation and the cramped phone heading.
  • Explicit sign-in token requests that did not support the same Convex integration as the browser.

v0.4.5
September 10, 2026, 4:29 PM EDT
A calmer chart and clearer person context

Chart previews wait for a deliberate hover and focus on its target, while the person picker, chart information panel and Explore wording follow the Star you are viewing.

Created

  • A chart Person panel with birth context, clusters, actions and an About note.
  • Recent-Star shortcuts and direct self-marking in the redesigned person picker.

Fixed

  • Passing across a gate immediately lighting unrelated centers and channels.

v0.4.0
September 10, 2026, 4:20 AM EDT
A new way to explore your constellation

A refreshed HD Universe brings chart views, your constellation, Explore, Compare, and Learn into one shared design, with clearer readings when a time is unknown.

Created

  • Chart reading controls for Only certain, Possibilities, and individual scenarios.
  • Connected Explore, Compare, and Learn journeys for the Star you are viewing.

Fixed

v0.3.0
July 24, 2026, 2:27 PM EDT
Searchable, personalized exploration

HD Universe now makes it faster to find Human Design topics and people, then connects Explore lessons directly to the Type, Authority, Profile, Centers, Strategy, Aura, Signature, and Not-Self theme of the Star you are viewing.

Created

  • Permission-safe global search across canonical Explore lessons, authorized private Stars, local guest Stars, curated public people, and primary app destinations.
  • Typed search results that clearly identify whether a match is an Explore topic, private Star, guest Star, public figure, collection, or app page before it opens.
  • A personalized “Now viewing” guide that links the selected Star directly to matching Type, Authority, and Profile lessons.
  • Personalized Center lessons that show whether the selected Star’s Center is defined or undefined instead of presenting generic education alone.
  • Personalized links for each Type’s Strategy, Aura, Signature, and Not-Self theme.
  • Uncertainty-aware personalization that shows unknown-time values only when the complete possible time range supports the same answer.
  • A protected birth-time scrubber that can compare a fixed baseline with another time across a bounded 24-hour window.
  • A deterministic activation comparison that explains exactly which gate-and-line values changed between the two selected times.
  • A protected full-chart diagnostic export containing calculation provenance, ephemeris metadata, mapping configuration, activations, and chart-derived results.

Fixed

  • Compact chart identity cards now send Variable, Strategy, and Signature links to published Explore lessons or a valid collection fallback.
  • Quick Stats, Overview, and Variables sections now preserve published content destinations instead of constructing links to unavailable lessons.
  • Early-render and prefetch states now use safe published fallbacks, preventing chart links from briefly targeting unpublished Explore entities.
  • Explore detail pages preserve a safe Back path so personalized lesson journeys return to the correct originating page.
  • Preview sign-in now recognizes existing tester identities consistently, preventing an unnecessary split from the Constellation they already use.
  • Global search’s ready-state timing now settles correctly, so completed results no longer look as though they are still loading.

Upgraded

  • Search now uses bounded Convex indexes and existing authorization/publication rules rather than scanning or exposing the full people catalog.
  • Private search metadata is limited to authorized display text and never includes hidden Star or chart payload fields.
  • Birth-time investigation and diagnostic exports now live in production-guarded QA routes instead of cluttering the everyday chart experience.
  • The time scrubber keeps one fixed baseline, resolves historical timezones once per request, and resets without making an unnecessary calculation call.
  • Release checks now isolate exact-main builds so an unrelated closed pull request cannot cancel the production candidate’s verification.
  • An executable workflow contract now prevents future CI concurrency changes from weakening exact-main production proof.
  • The vNext execution checkpoint was refreshed after Trust and Green Delivery completed, keeping the remaining route aligned with current production and documented work status.
v0.2.1
July 23, 2026, 3:04 AM EDT
Framework security patch

HD Universe now runs on the fixed Next.js patch release that restored the complete production dependency-security baseline while preserving the current chart, Constellation, and learning experience.

Created

  • A v0.2.1 release record tied to the exact production deployment and complete security scan.

Fixed

  • Eight newly published framework security advisories no longer affect the production dependency baseline.
  • The enforced main-branch dependency scan is green again without suppressing or weakening a security rule.

Upgraded

  • Next.js and its matching lint configuration now use the fixed 15.5.21 patch line.
  • The public chart experience was re-proven on mobile and desktop after the production upgrade.
v0.2.0
July 23, 2026, 1:38 AM EDT
Private Star sharing and production sign-in

HD Universe now keeps each Star private by default, adds explicit viewer and editor sharing controls, and uses the production sign-in environment without separating existing Constellation data.

Created

  • Per-Star privacy controls for granting, reviewing, and revoking viewer or editor access.
  • A production identity environment connected to the existing HD Universe data deployment so returning testers keep their Constellations and permissions.

Fixed

  • Guest Star detail routes now stay inside the local guest experience instead of sending unsupported identities to authenticated backend calls.
  • Public person pages now render historical timezone information consistently during hydration.

Upgraded

  • The image-processing dependency baseline now uses a supported Sharp release covered by the enforced security checks.
  • Privacy, sharing, guest access, production authentication, and dependency safety now travel through the same protected release path.
v0.1.1
June 20, 2026, 8:20 PM EDT
Clickable chart education

Chart overview cards now make the key Human Design elements easier to explore by turning Mobile, Detailed, and Classic bodygraph highlights into small inline learning moments.

Created

  • Clickable inline education for centers, channels, and gates across the Mobile, Detailed, and Classic chart overview layouts.
  • Clear Research links from each inline teaser so a quick chart insight can continue into the Explore library.

Fixed

  • Overview variants now share the same education surface instead of leaving chart elements visually present but informationally static.
  • Center labels and research calls to action now use canonical names such as G Center and Solar Plexus.

Upgraded

  • Mobile overview keeps teasers compact, while the Detailed overview can show a richer tagline without jumping all the way to long-form copy.
  • Focused tests now cover the inline education link targets, label normalization, and compact-versus-detailed teaser behavior.
v0.1.1
June 20, 2026, 10:44 AM EDT
Public detail timezone display

Public constellation detail pages now show historical Birth Data with readable GMT/UTC timezone labels, keeping the original local time while avoiding raw duplicated timezone names.

Created

  • An explicit release-log entry for the shipped public-detail timezone display fix.

Fixed

  • Public person detail Birth Data now keeps the original local time and shows a readable timezone label such as GMT+1.
  • The Birth Data card no longer repeats raw timezone identifiers such as Europe/Brussels or America/Los_Angeles.

Upgraded

  • Historical timezone labels now prefer stable GMT/UTC offset text when browser timezone abbreviations are not reliable.
v0.1.1
June 19, 2026, 3:40 PM EDT
Admin seed and import hardening

HD Universe production now blocks seed/import and verification tools behind the existing admin identity boundary, with the web app and Convex backend release state proven together.

Created

  • A v0.1.1 release entry for the production hardening pass.
  • A clearer release trail connecting the public web deployment, Convex backend push, and admin seed/import guard proof.

Fixed

  • Admin seed/import verification queries and destructive migration helpers now require an HD Universe admin identity before they can read or change migration tables.
  • Anonymous and signed-in non-admin callers are blocked before table access when they try to use the admin seed/import tools.

Upgraded

  • The current data-bearing Convex deployment was updated after the web deployment so backend functions and the public app are aligned.
  • Production proof now covers public app routes, API health, the /updates page, and a live blocked-call check for the admin guard.
v0.1.0
June 19, 2026, 9:07 AM EDT
Initial release log baseline

HD Universe now has a user-safe release log for tracking meaningful product updates without exposing private chart, person, constellation, or unfinished content-generation details.

Created

  • A standard What's New page at /updates for app release notes.
  • A first baseline entry that future HD Universe releases can build on cleanly.
  • A low-clutter Settings entry point so updates are discoverable without taking over primary navigation.

Fixed

  • The /updates route now renders inside the main HD Universe app shell instead of returning 404.
  • Release notes now have a consistent Created, Fixed, and Upgraded structure for Scott-facing rollout checks.

Upgraded

  • The visible app version is sourced from the web package version instead of being duplicated in page copy.
  • Release-note boundaries now keep private constellation data and unreviewed generated content out of public-facing notes.
