Changelog· Page 3

Publish lock for subscriptions

Publishing to production is gated on an active subscription, and a lock icon on the publish button makes the state obvious rather than surfacing the error only after a click.

TodoWrite in chat

The admin chatbot can maintain a to-do list scoped to the current conversation, updating items as it works. Useful for multi-step operations that take more than one tool call.

Query analytics

A query analytics view shows what customers are searching for on the storefront — zero-result queries, popular terms, and conversion from search to purchase.

Adaptive onboarding

The onboarding dashboard adapts to the store type (AI-built vs. legacy, physical goods vs. digital), surfacing only the setup steps that actually apply.
