Cockpit Changelog

All notable changes to Cockpit (Studio) — the visual editor and project management UI — will be documented in this file.

2026-08-11

Added

• Studio: The selected market and language are kept in the URL, so a reload or a shared link opens the same market and language instead of the project default.

2026-08-10

Added

• Hosting: Markets have a status of Draft or Active, new markets start as Draft, and the market cards show Draft and Default badges.
• Hosting: A project can choose its default market from its active markets, and the selector names the fallback used when none is chosen.

Fixed

• Hosting: Billing settings are now always available, so you can open the billing portal before a payment method has been added.

2026-08-03

Fixed

• Studio: Clearing a number field now resets it to its default, and a field set to 0 shows the 0.

2026-08-01

Added

• Studio: Studio now remembers your open page, selection, and preview in the URL — reload or share a link to return exactly where you were.

2026-07-29

Added

• Studio: Pick a concrete page right in the link picker; manual parameter entry stays available.

Changed

• Studio: The preview and link page pickers now say "page" instead of "instance".

Fixed

• Studio: Preview data now follows on-page links that carry a query string or an accented URL.

2026-07-27

Added

• Studio: The Preview Data selector now shows the source app's icon and name.

Changed

• Studio: The Preview Data selector now names the product being previewed instead of showing its raw URL parameters.
• Studio: The Preview Data selector names the page you picked immediately, instead of briefly showing its raw URL parameters.

Fixed

• Studio: The Preview Data selector now tracks the previewed page on stores whose product URLs span several path segments.
• Studio: Clicking a link in the preview now updates the Preview Data selector to that page.

2026-07-24

Added

• Hosting: Project settings has an "open preview" link that opens the live storefront in content-preview mode in a new tab, shown once the project has a deployed host.
• Studio: The Preview Data selector now marks the exact product shown in the preview.

Fixed

• Studio: The Preview Data selector now reflects the product you open via an in-preview link.

2026-07-23

Added

• Studio: Generate a content preview token in project settings, then use the "Show Preview Content" command in Studio to preview unpublished content.
• Hosting: New projects come with a content preview token already generated.

Changed

• Studio: The studio's "Show preview content" command is disabled, with the required version in a tooltip, when the project's deployed frontend-core is too old to honour it.
• Hosting: New content-preview tokens carry a "pvtk_" prefix; already-issued tokens keep working.
• Hosting: Project settings now links to the docs and lets you copy the project secret key.

Fixed

• Studio: Data-source options in the query picker now match the market selected in Studio.

2026-07-22

Fixed

• Studio: Fix connecting AI agents to the Studio MCP server — the OAuth discovery URL the server advertised pointed at a page that did not exist, so authorization could never complete.

2026-07-18

Added

• Studio: Studio AI agents build more complete pages, guided by production composition patterns.

2026-07-17

Added

• Studio: Add a Section groups sections into package tabs and filters them by kit.

Fixed

• Studio: Missing or broken preview images in the section/block pickers now show a placeholder.

2026-07-14

Fixed

• Studio: Media fields show clearer file details and remain reliable across frontend versions.
• Studio: Uploads refresh immediately, failed uploads can be retried, and SVGs render safely.
• Studio: Media picker dropdowns no longer flash a focus ring; nameless libraries show their id.

2026-07-13

Added

• Studio: The focal-point picker now works for video sources, not just images.
• Studio: The media library picker shows each library's icon next to its name.

Fixed

• Studio: SVG media previews now render at their container size instead of collapsing.
• Studio: Logging in from a link to a specific page (such as a Studio URL) now takes you to that page instead of showing a "not found" error.

2026-07-10

Fixed

• Studio: The dynamic data source picker now shows the icon of the app that actually provides each value, even when multiple apps provide the same data.

2026-07-09

Changed

• Studio: Breaking: MCP tool studio_set_static_prop is now studio_set_static_props (batch writes).

Fixed

• Studio: The market domain field no longer shows a misleading "www." prefix.

2026-07-02

Changed

• Hosting: Project settings now links to your organization API keys for npm registry access.
• Hosting: Expired API keys are now dimmed in the organization API keys table.

2026-07-01

Added

• Hosting: Log in to the npm registry from your terminal with npm login --auth-type=web.
• Hosting: See and revoke your registry web-login sessions from account security settings.

Changed

• Hosting: The npm registry login screen now matches the app's sign-in look.

2026-06-30

Fixed

• Studio: Studio rejects an invalid dropdown value at write time instead of saving a broken page.

2026-06-29

Changed

• Studio: The buttons for inserting live query data into a page's SEO title, description, and robots are now enabled only when your connected frontend supports it, with an upgrade hint otherwise.

Fixed

• Studio: Props set when adding a section or block now persist instead of rendering empty.

2026-06-26

Added

• Studio: Set a page's robots tag from a preset (index/noindex/nofollow) or bind it to live query data, so a connected system can drive per-page indexability.
• Studio: Insert live query data (like a product title) into a page's SEO title and description as inline variables.

2026-06-25

Added

• Studio: AI agents can now set a page's SEO title and description (and rename a page variant).

2026-06-24

Added

• Studio: A restore point is saved before each translation import, so a bad import can be undone.

Fixed

• Studio: Media fields now survive a translations export and re-import.
• Studio: Importing translations no longer disconnects editors; images now import correctly.

2026-06-23

Added

• Studio: Agents can now place an existing global section onto a page from the Studio MCP server.
• Studio: Agents can now move or reorder a section between header, body, and footer or onto another page from the Studio MCP server.
• Studio: Agents can now move or reorder a block between local sections from the Studio MCP server, keeping its content and settings.
• Studio: AI agents can now discover a project's reusable global sections.

Fixed

• Studio: Section and block reordering is now reflected in the MCP page tree.

2026-06-22

Added

• Studio: Write different translations for several languages in a single edit.
• Studio: AI agents can now add items to list props (slides, cards, rows).

Fixed

• Studio: AI agents connected over MCP can list the Studio tools again, and the tool and data-model descriptions now accurately reflect what the server supports.

2026-06-19

Added

• Studio: MCP mutation results report the catalog version; catalog errors point you at the catalog.
• Studio: AI agents now see one component-catalog entry per project they can access in MCP resources/list, plus the Studio data-model docs entry.
• Studio: AI agents connecting via MCP now receive a Studio primer on initialize and can fetch the deeper data-model reference from laioutr://docs/studio/data-model.

Changed

• Studio: Breaking: project_list now lists each project's locales; the locales resource is removed.
• Studio: Setting a translatable field via the MCP server now requires you to specify locales; extra locales on a non-translatable field are ignored with a warning.
• Studio: Editing actions now wait safely during a project restore, with a retryable lock error.

Fixed

• Studio: Retrying a Studio action after a transient error now re-attempts instead of replaying it.

2026-06-18

Added

• Studio: Snapshot and restore project versions from Studio; auto-snapshot before each migration.
• Studio: Add the Studio MCP server panel under Organization → API Keys so AI assistants like Claude Desktop and Cursor can connect.

Changed

• Studio: Translations export now covers only translatable fields and needs a published frontend.

Fixed

• Studio: The studio no longer shows a save when you just open a project.

2026-06-17

Added

• Studio: Import a translations JSON on the Translations page to bulk-update text translations.

Fixed

• Studio: Fix an occasional "statement timeout" error when loading your organizations and projects.

2026-05

Added

• Studio: Migration batcher — a Studio debug UI that plans and runs batches of section/block migrations and surfaces per-op results in a BatchReport.
• Studio: Read-only data view for sections and blocks that have no registered Studio definition. The bare "No schema found" alert is now paired with a collapsible inspector that walks the stored prop tree (static / static-localized / object / array / entity-set, including link, media, color, and JSON subtypes) and offers a "Show as JSON" toggle.
• Studio: Schema-condition engine widened with arrayOperators (in, arr-of, slice, join, map) and typeOperators (bool, num, str, type) alongside the defaults, so section and block authors can write more expressive if rules that hide schema fields irrelevant to the current configuration.
• Studio Devtools: New host picker for connecting the editor to arbitrary URLs and deployments — supports remote hosts, localhost, recent successful deployments, or any pasted URL. Replaces the previous localhost-only override and routes Studio error-screen host swaps through the same modal.

Fixed

• Hosting: Deployments now respect the UI app version selected for the project. Generated package.json files pin @laioutr-core/ui and @laioutr-core/ui-kit to the version configured under @laioutr-app/ui in apps_enabled, instead of always using latest.
• Studio: Block and section names are now preserved after cloning.
• Studio: Publish button is disabled while an autosave is pending (syncStatus === 'changed'), preventing stale snapshots from being shipped to the deployment pipeline. It re-enables once the save reaches 'synced'.
• Studio: Adding a section via the preview iframe now lands at the visible click target even when hidden sections or global-section references sit between siblings. The visible atIndex reported by the preview is translated to the full-list index before insertion.
• Studio: ToggleButtonInput UX improvements.
• Studio Devtools: Replace and Batch Replace now preserve the target's slot instead of appending the copy to the end of the destination.
• Studio: Migration walker isolates per-iteration errors so partial migrations now surface in the BatchReport. A throw inside a visitor (validation crash, malformed node, expression-eval bug) used to silently abort every later op and page within the failing walk; failures are now captured with the offending nodeId in the op's report and iteration continues.

2026-04

Added

• Hosting: Deployment detail page now auto-refreshes and auto-scrolls to the latest build log entries.
• Studio: Expanded the StudioIcon set with 50+ new icons covering pages (calendar, plane, video, cart, heart), alignment (justify, layout-align, distribute), borders, box styles (margin, padding, none), and more.
• Studio: Added typography icons (heading1–6, bold, italic, case variants), layout column/row icons, aspect ratio icons (1x1, 16x9, etc.), image fit icons, and corner radius icons.
• Studio: Query fields in the section editor now highlight which queries are bound to page-level queries, making data wiring more visible.
• Studio: The locale switcher now works correctly on routes that include dynamic path parameters.
• Studio: Real-time preview now uses valtio-json-patch for more reliable state synchronization during live editing, replacing fast-json-patch.
• Studio: Common built-in listing page types (product listing, product search, blog) now use root queries by default, so newly created pages get cleaner URL params (e.g., ?p=2 instead of ?queryId[p]=2) out of the box.

Fixed

• i18n Settings: Fixed a permissions issue where users with the projectMarketsManagement role could not create, update, or delete markets — the market management endpoints were incorrectly requiring the broader projects permission instead of the more specific projectMarketsManagement permission.
• Security: Mitigated three minor security vulnerabilities — an open-redirect bypass via //-prefixed URLs, an organization deletion endpoint that previously accepted a full org object instead of a plain ID, and an incorrect last-admin check that could allow an organization to be left without any admin.
• Hosting: Fixed a Safari incompatibility in duration formatting — duration values are now displayed correctly in Safari, which does not support the Temporal API.
• Hosting: Fixed broken snackbar link after triggering a deployment from Studio.
• Studio: Fixed duplicate sections appearing in the section list.
• Studio: Improved search in the Studio section/block picker.
• Studio: Hidden the localized field indicator when the project has only a single language configured.
• Project Settings: Removed a no-op translate button from project settings.

• Made pricing table hideable via feature flag.

Fixed

• Fixed Yjs CRDT key deletion and added migration backup support.
• Fixed empty string not being converted to undefined in studio field onChange.

• Inlined core-types into Nitro bundle for Vercel compatibility.
• Studio: Hidden market name in the language switcher for single-market projects.
• Studio: Increased Studio connection timeout to 10 s for slower network conditions.
• Studio: Fixed stale frontend context reads after HMR reload by reading the valtio proxy lazily at call time.

  • WebhookSender with Standard Webhooks signing, WebhookCallbackVerifier for secure callback authentication and a dedicated webhook callback API route for deployment status updates.
  • BudgetedRetry utility and DeploymentStatusMachine to handle idempotent status transitions and time-constrained retries.
  • tRPC router and hosting module wiring for BYOS webhook hosting, plus registration with well-known hosting providers and signing/callback key constants.

Changed

• Switched Cockpit’s webhook handling to use the shared standardwebhooks library and brought the implementation in line with Standard Webhooks compliance.
• Improved hosting adapter behaviour: pass providerData to disconnect and getCapabilities for more flexible, dynamic hosting capabilities.

Fixed
