Build a beautiful WordPress site from one simple chat

0.13.6 – 2026-07-04

• Added: Choose your AI provider and model above the chat composer; use Auto or pin a specific model for your Studio sessions.
• Added: Model picker shows the site quality tier, ranked models for that tier, and search to find models quickly.
• Improved: Your AI model choice is saved per admin user and applied to generate and refine requests.

0.13.5 – 2026-07-03

• Added: Settings now includes license activation and deactivation for plugin updates from unoplugins.com.
• Improved: Settings shows your masked license key and live hourly usage quotas when opened.
• Improved: Rate-limit reset for local testing is available directly in Settings.

0.13.4 – 2026-07-03

• Fixed: Section and element refine on draft pages now run block finalization automatically, so the preview matches the Site Editor without manual block repair.

0.13.3 – 2026-07-03

• Fixed: Multi-section page builds no longer time out mid-create; each section completes in its own chat step.
• Fixed: Chat history is saved at the start of each turn, so interrupted page builds keep your prompts.
• Improved: Website chat automatically continues multi-section page builds until all sections finish composing.

0.13.2 – 2026-07-03

• Fixed: Full-page generation no longer saves empty pages when building section by section.
• Fixed: Website preview waits until block finalization finishes before refreshing.
• Fixed: Multi-section page builds defer live saves until all sections finish composing.
• Fixed: Section-by-section page builds no longer burn the full composition quota on the first section.
• Improved: Chat shows clearer retry guidance when composition or planning limits are reached.
• Improved: Settings shows remaining hourly quotas for composition and planning, with a reset option for local testing.

0.13.1 – 2026-07-02

• Fixed: Block finalization now reliably repairs complex managed pages, patterns, and template parts instead of failing on most items in a batch.
• Fixed: Website chat waits for finalization before showing success; failures show clear inline diagnostics instead of a brief-only summary.
• Fixed: Website preview refreshes automatically after finalization, so refined content matches the Site Editor without manual Refresh.
• Fixed: Color, icon, and style token refine now works on structure, templates, and patterns — not only pages.
• Improved: Failed refine no longer changes live site content until finalization succeeds.
• Changed: BREAKING: Markup-only composition is removed; re-compose via chat to finalize any content stuck from older versions.

0.13.0 – 2026-07-02

• Added: Uno AI Agent V1: multi-step compound plans in Design and Website chat, with unified routing and result cards in chat.
• Fixed: Floating header and footer previews now match the Site Editor layout instead of collapsing into a narrow stacked card.
• Fixed: Page composition previews no longer show white bands between stacked section groups.
• Fixed: Design names with apostrophes no longer truncate to a single character in library titles.
• Fixed: HTML-first markup no longer fails finalization on false leaf-text or preset-ref validation errors.
• Fixed: Malformed enhancement CSS from AI responses is salvaged when possible instead of discarding the whole design.
• Fixed: Finalizer reconcile no longer loops when a job is already running.
• Improved: Studio dashboard loads faster with inlined bootstrap and parallel design and content catalogs.
• Improved: Finalizer failures show a global banner with short summaries and expandable details; validation errors read clearly.
• Improved: Design tab generate and refine skip the extra agent-plan AI call for faster, deterministic routing.
• Improved: Local dev gates: composer test:fast, npm run ci:local:fast, and Composer process-timeout removed for full PHPUnit runs.
• Changed: Website chat routes through the Uno AI Agent planner; phrase matchers are removed. Use Refine current / Create new if routing misinterprets your request.

0.12.0 – 2026-07-01

• Changed: BREAKING: Removed legacy step REST namespaces under uno-studio/v1: /design-system/*, /structure/*, /pages/*, /templates/*, and POST /composition/preview. Admin generation and refinement use POST /studio/chat only; composition preview publish runs inside PHP pipelines via Uno_Studio_Composition_Load_Current::publish_preview().
• Changed: BREAKING: Removed WordPress Abilities: uno-studio/block-theme-plan-pages, uno-studio/block-theme-plan-page-sections, and uno-studio/block-theme-refine-pages. Page planning and session refine are internal to chat and the generate-pages ability.
• Added: Internal admin module src/admin/api/uno-studio-composition-api.js for finalizer/reconcile REST (not part of the frozen unoStudioApi contract).
• Changed: Deleted legacy admin bundle src/admin/data/api.js (~50 step REST helpers); only composition finalizer consumers remain on the dedicated composition API module.
• Changed: Dist manifest verification uses prefix expectations and updated file-count bounds; .distignore excludes languages/.gitkeep.

0.11.0 – 2026-07-01

• Changed: BREAKING: Composition markup now validates through the Site Editor save path only; the legacy allowlist, PHP normalizer, client repair orchestration, and repair-markup REST route are removed. Chat saves a scrubbed draft; Studio reconciles in a hidden iframe.
• Changed: BREAKING: Website chat routes messages through an AI intent planner only — phrase matchers are removed. If routing fails, use Refine current / Create new or rephrase your request.
• Changed: BREAKING: Default composition quality tier is now fast on new sites (no visual critic pass). Set balanced or premium under composition settings to restore critic passes.
• Changed: BREAKING: Managed header, footer, pages, and patterns use design-scoped titles and slugs (e.g. bellios-header instead of uno-studio-header). Upgrade migrates legacy uno-studio-* posts and rebinds theme wrappers to the applied design.
• Changed: BREAKING: Quality-tier model routing for Anthropic now prefers Sonnet before Opus (Opus remains fallback).
• Added: Preview toolbar finalizer queue with pending count, Finalize pending, and Reconcile all managed for pages, patterns, templates, and template parts; chat system messages on queue start, complete, or fail.
• Added: Edit with Uno AI Studio on managed front-end pages and a global Uno AI Studio shortcut in the wp-admin admin bar.
• Added: Per-design chat threads stored on the server; hard reload restores Design tab context (library browse, New design) and Website tab chat always uses the applied design thread.
• Added: Website content list matches the design library chip layout, with open in Site Editor, rename, and delete from each row menu.
• Added: Click a chat result card to select that page, pattern, or template in the preview.
• Added: Apply, rename, or delete saved designs from the library chip menu without leaving Studio.
• Added: Refine current / Create new composer chips on Design and Website tabs for explicit create vs refine control.
• Added: Managed content identity: design-scoped persistence, plugin ownership labels in the Site Editor, and optional landing or alternate header variants via Website chat.
• Fixed: Finalizer iframe mounts before deferred reconcile runs — no more spurious “Finalizer iframe is not registered” errors or duplicate preview toolbar alerts on Studio load.
• Fixed: Outer section wrappers no longer show “Block contains unexpected or invalid content” in the Site Editor after reconcile or Reconcile all managed.
• Fixed: Headings, paragraphs, buttons, and Details blocks render with visible text in the preview iframe on WordPress 7.
• Fixed: Reconcile now persists the validated block tree so outer group spacing and layout JSON match what the Site Editor expects.
• Fixed: Header and footer apply and front-end theme wrappers work again after the managed-content ownership change; upgrade rebinds existing template parts.
• Fixed: Website chat no longer misroutes header/footer prompts to page create when the brief mentions another page as a link target.
• Fixed: Chat history survives hard refresh; corrupt thread meta blocks writes instead of wiping all threads; failed loads show an error with retry.
• Fixed: Generated pages and sections regain sensible preset padding and block gap; stacked full-width groups no longer pick up extra top margin on block themes.
• Fixed: Site Editor Author for managed templates and template parts shows Uno AI Studio instead of the active theme slug.
• Fixed: Composition gate failures surface clear diagnostics in chat and the preview toolbar instead of silent success or placeholder markup.
• Fixed: Design library chip switches no longer drop chat history; apply respects the selected library row even when a draft preview is open.
• Fixed: Saving a design to the library exits draft UI; deleting a design clears its preview session; apply failures show an inline toolbar error.
• Fixed: Chat no longer fails with empty AI responses or “Couldn't reach the server” when no website content is selected.
• Fixed: Asking to create a template while a page is selected no longer overwrites that page.
• Fixed: Section-style requests (e.g. pricing tables) create reusable patterns instead of full pages when the brief describes a block, not a whole page.
• Improved: Three-layer WordPress 7 composition finalizer: AI output is normalized, text is preserved through a headless gate, then the Site Editor confirms the save before content is marked ready.
• Improved: Updated Uno logo in the WordPress admin menu, Studio header, live version badge, and admin bar shortcuts; admin header uses system-font title styling.
• Improved: Preview iframe keeps a loading overlay until the page finishes rendering; chat shows an animated “Generating…” indicator while waiting for the assistant.
• Improved: Reconcile auto-repairs header/footer structure scoping, serializes concurrent batches, and reports partial success (X of Y finalized).
• Improved: Batch finalize and reconcile use a stable Site Editor shell instead of jumping between artifacts — fewer timeouts and duplicate toolbar errors.
• Improved: Website chat routes create requests from your message even when another item is selected; assistant replies show what was created or refined (e.g. Created · Pattern).
• Improved: Design preview always loads Enhanced mode so enhancement CSS appears in the iframe; the Core/Enhanced preview toolbar toggle is removed.
• Improved: Website chat can add Custom HTML and Shortcode blocks when you explicitly ask for embeds, widget code, or plugin shortcodes; core blocks remain the default for layout.
• Improved: Pages default to section-by-section composition for cleaner Site Editor results; opt in to one-shot full page via prompt phrases or settings.
• Improved: Pattern chat assigns short catalog titles (1–3 words); pricing-style patterns guide toward simple column layouts that open cleanly in the Site Editor.
• Improved: AI cost routing maps quality tiers to appropriate models; visual critic uses the shared prompt dispatcher; retries downgrade to faster models when enabled.
• Improved: Design tab Refine current / New design chips unify navigation; New design clears the general thread and shows an empty preview until the first generate.
• Improved: Chat composer uses WP accent tokens for active chips and a focus ring around the whole input; empty threads show a short hint.
• Changed: Removed the + New design system bar above chat; New design composer chip is the sole entry for starting a blank design on the general thread.
• Changed: Website chat auto-routes from your message (focus chips removed).
• Changed: Preview iframe shows a clear error panel when composition markup cannot be validated instead of failing silently.
• Changed: DesignSwitchModal copy matches apply behavior: apply to site and switch chat thread.

0.9.8 – 2026-06-23

• Changed: Document V1 theme posture: block themes supported; TT5 reference QA; full multi-theme switch/rebind parity deferred post-1.0.
• Fixed: Step 3 page generation no longer fails validation when AI nests feature card groups inside paragraphs.
• Fixed: Cover gradient heroes open clean in the Site Editor after generate or refine.
• Fixed: Published pages no longer show white bands between full-width sections after design re-apply.
• Fixed: WordPress Abilities API registrations no longer emit admin notices on WP 6.9; mode-scoped Studio abilities register and appear in MCP discovery again.
• Improved: Step 3 block repair uses a validate-first migrator registry so new block types can be fixed without monolithic attribute rebuild logic.
• Improved: Step 3 page-switch preview runs the same repair and finalizer path as save so the iframe matches reconciled content.
• Changed: BREAKING: WordPress Abilities IDs use hyphen-composite mode names (e.g. uno-studio/block-theme-apply-design-system) instead of three-segment IDs (uno-studio/block-theme/apply-design-system), which WP 6.9 rejected and never registered.
• Changed: BREAKING: Step 3 Generate with an empty page list no longer creates a hardcoded Home page. Provide a site brief (Studio plans pages) or an explicit page list.
• Added: Step 3 Suggest pages from brief builds an editable page plan before generation; generate from the plan skips a second planner pass.
• Added: Step 3 page planner (POST /pages/plan), session refine, managed page list, open/meta/sync routes, and matching agent abilities.
• Added: Step 3 session page list and Library → Pages rows include Open in editor links for manual block edits.
• Added: Step 3 section builder: refine or add individual page sections without rewriting the whole page.
• Added: Step 3 element refine: click a block in preview (or pick by path) to refine a single subtree; published pages enforce a copy-only text-block allowlist.
