What we shipped

Build status in plain English. New features, fixes, and infrastructure shipped to production.

Build hardening: zero warnings, lazy credential init, proxy migration

2026-05-08

›Fixed production build failure: Stripe SDK no longer throws at module-evaluation time when STRIPE_SECRET_KEY is absent — check moved to runtime
›Fixed /api/niche/run build failure: Upstash Redis.fromEnv() moved inside handler function so it does not execute during static page collection
›Migrated middleware.ts → proxy.ts with exported proxy() function per Next.js 16 spec — eliminates deprecation warning from every build
›Fixed Turbopack workspace-root warning: turbopack.root set to project directory in next.config.mjs
›pnpm build now compiles clean with zero errors and zero warnings across all 47 pages

2026-05-08

›Waitlist signup now sends a confirmation email via Resend — links to /demo and /changelog

Performance + accessibility hardening

›Webhook handler processes subscription updates, payment failures, and cancellations in real time
›Trial plan stays free (no Stripe session created)

›Stripe customer ID stored per user — returning subscribers skip re-entry of card details

Calendar: drag-drop scheduling with platform swimlanes
