---

- **fixed** — Production exports now complete in under a minute instead of ten when fonts or images fail to load, delivering the image or PDF anyway while genuine failures report their reason
- **fixed** — HTML previews maintain scroll position, live documents, and edits when switching projects, file tabs, or toggling between Preview and Code modes without triggering a reload
- **fixed** — Runs that produced files are no longer reported as producing nothing when the browser does not finish syncing files in time
- **fixed** — Interactive scripts in project previews survive URL rewriting with inline scripts delivered untouched while CSS and assets remain workspace-scoped
- **fixed** — First-run setup Continue button remains inert until the selected local CLI is detected, and BYOK connection tests run on click with actionable errors on failure until the test passes
- **fixed** — The language selected when entering Pricing applies before the page renders instead of flashing incorrectly first
- **fixed** — Checkout returns to the Cloud Console entry point from test, feature-validation, and local environments instead of landing in production
- **fixed** — Current plan is marked clearly, lower tiers are no longer clickable, and higher tiers keep upgrade entry with savings amounts and design details matching approved specifications
- **fixed** — Unlimited badge only appears on models the plan actually includes, and team workspaces no longer inherit personal plan badges
- **fixed** — BYOK no longer claims platform-side unlimited use
- **fixed** — Subscribers with exactly zero balance no longer see an unusable balance chip
- **fixed** — Low-balance dialog action buttons return to consistent visual hierarchy
- **fixed** — Update button appears as its own control to the right of the avatar and balance capsule instead of crowding the account capsule
- **changed** — Message center is now a plain list with no filter tabs where read and unread messages share one view with unread items showing a compact dot
- **changed** — Community links moved from the account menu to the footer of Home's navigation, showing Feishu group for Chinese interface and Discord for other languages
- **changed** — Homepage first screen and capsule header include clearer brand claim, lighter capability chips, more restrained CTAs, and video demo that loads on click

⚡ **Production exports now finish in under a minute: when a font or an image in
your work never comes back, Open Design no longer holds the whole pipeline for
ten minutes — it stops waiting and delivers the image or PDF anyway.** An HTML
preview you already opened keeps its state, and first-run setup only lets you
continue once it really connects. Alongside that, the pricing, entitlement
badges and upgrade paths that shipped with Go Plan got a careful calibration
pass, so what plan you're on, where you can go from it, and where a click will
take you all read honestly.

##### ⚡ Performance & reliability

- 📤 **A stuck export now takes under a minute instead of ten.** When a font or
  an image in your work never loads, Open Design stops waiting on it and
  finishes the image or PDF anyway. Work that loads normally still exports at
  full quality, and a genuine failure now names its reason so you can act on it.
  (#7182) Thanks @lefarcen.

- 🖥️ **Come back to an open HTML preview and it's still where you left it.**
  Switching projects, switching file tabs and toggling Preview/Code no longer
  trigger a blank flash or a full reload — scroll position, live documents and
  your edits survive, and text changes show up the moment you save. (#7156)
  Thanks @lefarcen.

- ✅ **A run that produced files is no longer reported as producing nothing.**
  When the browser doesn't finish syncing files in time, Open Design trusts what
  the daemon confirmed was delivered. Runs that genuinely produced nothing still
  show the original error. (#5750) Thanks @ferrarifankid04.

- 🧩 **Interactive scripts in a project preview survive URL rewriting.** Inline
  scripts are delivered untouched while CSS and other assets stay
  workspace-scoped, so script-driven interactive previews actually run. (#6938)
  Thanks @mturac.

##### 🐛 Fixed

###### First-run setup

- 🚦 **"Continue" now means you are actually ready to continue.** Picking a local
  CLI during first-run setup keeps the button inert until the CLI is detected.
  With BYOK, filling in the key, base URL and model runs a real connection test
  on click — a failure or a rate limit keeps you on the page with an actionable
  error, and setup only completes once the test passes. (#7164)
  Thanks @alchemistklk.

###### Pricing, plans & upgrades

- 🌐 **The language you enter Pricing in is the language you stay in.** The
  locale the app hands over now applies before the page paints, instead of
  flashing the wrong one first. Direct visits without an explicit locale still
  follow your browser and saved preference. (#7197) Thanks @Siri-Ray.

- ↩️ **Checkout returns you to the Cloud Console you came from.** Pricing
  handoffs from test, feature-validation and local environments come back to
  their own entry point instead of landing in production. An invalid target
  shows a localized error and disables checkout rather than silently falling
  back. (#7219) Thanks @nettee.

- ⬆️ **Your current plan, and where you can go from it, read at a glance.** The
  plan you're on is marked Current plan, anything below it is no longer
  clickable, and higher tiers keep their upgrade entry. Savings amounts, model
  order, the status column, the recommended accent and the monthly/annual toggle
  all match the approved design. (#7191, #7222) Thanks @Siri-Ray.

- ♾️ **"Unlimited" only appears on models your plan actually includes.** Go,
  Plus, Pro and Max badge according to their own entitlements; Team workspaces
  no longer inherit a personal plan's badge, and BYOK no longer claims
  platform-side unlimited use. A subscriber whose balance is exactly zero stops
  seeing a balance chip they can't act on, while overdrafts, free plans and Team
  still surface the balance that needs attention. (#7190, #7202, #7196)
  Thanks @lefarcen, @Siri-Ray.

- The low-balance dialog's action buttons return to a consistent visual
  hierarchy. (#7138)
