v26.4.248May 14, 2026
Onboarding now opens in the canonical app-shell chat front door with hardened tool artifacts, picker stability, and performance gates.
Improved
- Canonical onboarding chat front door:
/onboardingand waitlist entry now route into/start, preserving onboarding query params while leaving/onboarding/checkoutas the checkout handoff. - App-shell onboarding experience:
/startnow renders inside the Shell V1 app frame with the sidebar collapsed, shared chat composer primitives, polished onboarding tool artifacts, and stable slash-picker geometry across desktop and mobile.
Fixed
- Chat layout stability and visible implementation leakage: Removed the app-shell entrance animation that caused screen flashes, replaced generic tool rows with purpose-built onboarding cards, hid raw tool internals from the transcript, and hardened error, loading, thinking, retry, and artist-pick states.
