The welcome chose the journal's words whenever the Studio had not
registered as the chat's host, which also hit the Studio's own panel
before (or without) that registration. A journey's chat now speaks of the
journal only where the window or the phone's chat screen say they show it
for its journal; everywhere else, the Studio included, it stays the book's.
AssistantWindow had gone past the complexity limit choosing between the
planner's trip, the journal on screen, a picked chat and the home chat;
that choice now lives in windowChat.
A Dawarich stay's row read fields one side of a union did not have, the
photo cards narrowed an entry's day through an optional chain, and the
settings service cast a journey row straight to a record. Helpers only
their own file reads are no longer exported, and the photo tests seed
their rows with insertRow like the other journey suites.
The four new photo link tools join the journal's tools: the journey chat
offers them to editors, the trip chat loads them with the journey group and
the home chat keeps none. A journeyPhotos card shows the photos as
thumbnails with the entries they leave and reach, the first one marked as
the cover in a new order, and a caption old to new; a library add shows the
photos once they landed. A linked photo comes off again, an unlinked one
goes back, moved photos go back and a caption is written back, each while
nothing changed since. A new order of an entry's photos and a library add
have no way back yet. The journal prompt names the photo tools.
The update card silently left out the tags and the pros and cons it was
about to write, so the user approved a change the card did not show. An
entry now shows its first tags and how its verdict leans, and an update
names the tags, each side of the verdict and the coordinates it changes.
A new order of the entries is drawn as the entries that move, in their new
places. A changed entry is written back from what the tool answered it
replaced, and a reorder is taken back to the order before, each while
nothing changed since. A Dawarich stay taken in as an entry gets the
entry card; it has no way back, since deleting the entry would leave the
stay marked as taken in.
Starting a journal, changing its settings, linking or unlinking a trip,
bringing back its suggestions, the user's own view of it and deleting it
fell back to the generic card, which names ids and offers no way back.
They now share a journeyHeader card: the journal with its trips, the one
the change links or unlinks marked, what a new journal brings in and what
a deletion or an unlink takes, and each setting old to new in the
journal's own words. A new journal is deleted again while nothing was
written, added or laid out in it, changed settings are written back from
what the tool answered, a linked trip is unlinked by its owner while none
of its suggestions was written up, and the own switch flips back.
On /journey/:id the assistant window and the phone's assistant screen now
open the journey's conversation, the one TREK Studio holds too, instead of
the home chat; the Studio route keeps its own column. A turn sent from a
chat the Studio does not host names the journal page, a hosted one the
Studio, so the server offers the right tools. A journal card from the home
chat opens that conversation in place on the desktop and the journal page
on the phone, and the empty chat asks about the journal rather than the
book.
Asked on /journey to create "Japan 2026", the home chat had nothing to
offer: it keeps no write that names a trip or a journey. It now keeps
create_journey, whose trips the tool checks one by one, and delete_journey,
which the journey's own chat leaves out because the conversation goes
with it. For anything inside a journal it offers open_journey_chat, the
twin of open_trip_chat: the journal is read from the user's own journals
and shown as a card whose button goes on in the journal's chat with the
question waiting there. The trip and journal cards share their question
and button.
The chips offered to keep an attached file in Files, but nothing could do it:
the assistant's upload_trip_file stays denied, and the file never reached
Files. A new server write, keep_attached_file, is offered to the model where
the thread holds an attachment and held as a change card naming the file and
the booking, expense or place it goes with.
Applied, it runs the checks of a Files upload with the user's rights (the
demo block, the trip, file_upload and file_edit for a link, the instance's
file types, every linked id on the same trip), copies the bytes to a trip
file of their own, and writes the trip file, its expense link and the
attachment's pointer to it in one transaction; the members' planners get
file:created after it. A second keep of the same attachment answers the file
kept the first time. FilesService gains storeBytes and discardBytes so the
storage write stays out of that transaction.
The receipt opens the Files tab; the card's verb, its "Attached to" row and
the receipt's open label are new keys in all 27 locales. Undo is not offered:
no tool takes a trip file back yet.
The assistant could not read a file the user attached: the bytes were gone
after the request, the thread only held the file's name, and read_trip_file
stays denied because it would send any document of the trip to the provider.
A new server tool, read_attached_file, reads only the files attached in this
conversation by this user; any other id is answered "No such attachment in
this conversation.", whoever it belongs to. It is offered in a trip turn whose
thread holds a file with text. The first read of a file is held as a change
card that names the file and the model and host its text would go to; once
the user agrees, the agreement is kept on the attachment and later reads run
at once. The text reaches the model through the history and, for a later
read, as a tool answer only the model gets (AgentToolRun.modelText): no message
part, stream chunk, shared answer or client store ever carries it.
The model is told each kept file's attachment id, and the standing
instructions say to read the file when the user wants to work with it, to
propose a booking found in it through create_reservation and then to offer
keeping the file with it. The card's verb, its "Sent to" row and the step's
name are new keys in all 27 locales.
A booking file without a booking ended the answer on the error "No booking
found in this file." with no action, and the user was left to type. Now the
server answers every booking file itself, without a model: one line that
names the file and what TREK found in it, or that it found nothing, why, and
asks what to do with the file. Under it come up to three chips, picked from
what the user may do on the trip and what the file allows: keep it in Files,
make a booking from its text, attach it to a booking or an expense, ask what
is in it, or keep it with the booking just found. A chip sends its words as
an ordinary chat message.
The line and the chips are written in the language of the request from new
assistant.attach.* keys in all 27 locales, through a small helper the sports
proposals now share. The empty answer finishes as stop; no_bookings_found
stays in the contract for the threads older builds wrote. Route files keep
their answer as it was.
Every style now has four covers and five double spreads, 108 in all, and the
spreads of each style take different photo counts, from a words-only page to
eight photos, so a book can be laid on them without an empty frame. The five
new styles come with their own themes: Riso (overprinted spot inks), Magazine
(a travel magazine), Retro travel (vintage posters), Midnight (a dark film
look) and Field notes (a traveller's notebook). Each new style has a cover
composer for the design engine and a recipe for the assistant, and its chip,
theme and template names are translated into every language.
A new question is held at the top of the view, so its answer reads from its
first line. When the answer carries steps, a strip of places and cards, its
closing words and the changes to apply ended below the view, and the user
saw only the places found. Once the answer is written, the thread now
scrolls to where those closing blocks begin, or to the bottom when they are
shorter than the view, unless the user scrolled it by hand meanwhile.
The home chat's trip list opened before its trips had loaded, so the focus
stayed on its button and no trip could be reached by keyboard; the first trip
now takes the focus once the list is there. The header's menu says whether it
is open, and closed by Escape or a pick it hands the focus back to its
button, so the next Escape closes the window again. The open chat in the
history list is announced as the current one.
- design_book takes a brief (energy, decoration, collages, theme), a cover
archetype and a cover lockup, and pages.overrides that give single pages of
the plan another beat or layout. Directives written before parse as they
did, and a design asked for none of it is composed exactly as before.
- The engine composes the seven cover archetypes from the book's own photos,
words, theme faces and colours, lockups, shapes and stickers, varied by the
seed: spine band, poster pop, cut-out, illustrated postcard, grid and
badge, minimal serif and stamp collage. A title the directives give a
display tier is held to it, and the notes say when a band, a badge or a
stamp holds it smaller or a cover leaves a layout out.
- A lively or loud book turns two in five hero and grid spreads into
collages, script overlays, badge grids, stamp rows or two-tone splits, the
first of them always, turns and frames the prints of its other pages, sets
its cover title larger and takes one or two, or three to six, stickers of
its theme's motifs a spread, never over words, a photo's detail or the
fold. A calm book asked for collages gets them and nothing else.
- Every turn the engine gives a print or a sticker stays within what the
brief's energy takes, a calm book's within its theme's own, so a design is
never judged against its own brief.
- New checks name a flat cover, a page without a lead, colours or faces off
the theme and, for a design made with a brief, a book livelier or calmer
than it asked, on the pages the design made and on a page revised in the
draft. Page edits answer with the art checks too, and the assistant's
cards name them in every language.
- list_book_assets lists the shapes, faces, lockups, themes and patterns
beside the stickers, and the Studio's shape groups and photo frames are one
list the assistant reads too.
- The Studio prompt gains an index of themes, archetypes and faces and JSON
recipes of the elements to add and style for each cover and three lively
spreads, and a turn that designs the book may preview sixteen pages, still
three images a request; a viewer is told of none of it.
A decorated template is a whole designed page kept as data: full document
elements in fractions of the page they were drawn on, with roles for the
photos and words a page brings, links to the theme for its colours and
faces, groups for its lockups (a title with its date line, a badge with its
words, a stamp with its postmark) and an archetype with tags. Seven cover
archetypes in three variants each and sixteen double spreads ship in
shared/src/book/templates/data.
Laying a page out on one pours its photos into the photo roles in order and
its words into the title, subtitle, date, story and caption roles, takes
the words it has none for from the book or the journal entry, sets the
template in the book theme, scales it to the page format with its bleeds
on the bleed of that page, and parks what has no room, a date line the date
mark was not made of included. A text set on a colour is made to read there
at the size it was fitted to, on a band of ink or paper when neither reads.
A mark set as text, such as a large quotation mark, is design to every
layout and never taken for the words of a page.
A fitted text keeps the size it was drawn at as its ceiling, so a shorter
title grows back, and every fitted text is now solved with eight percent of
headroom on letter width: set in the browser, the bold condensed faces and
several scripts run that much wider than the letter measure, and a fit at
exactly the measure wrapped its last word out of the frame.
The layout operation of edit_book_page and revise_book_design takes the new
ids as a checked string and keeps the name of a locked group,
list_book_layouts lists them with archetype, tags and roles, and the design
prompt names them. A sibling extract script reads a page drawn in the
Studio back into the format, roles, tints and groups kept.
- A text can be cased (capitals, lower case, small caps), placed at the top,
middle or foot of its frame, outlined, given a hard shadow or a marker band,
bent on an arc or round a circle, filled with a gallery photo or left
hollow, and shrunk to fit its frame. Every effect prints as vector: copies
and strokes for HTML type, textPath and a clip over an <image> for SVG.
- Fitting is solved when the text is edited, in the Studio and in the edit
engine, and stored; the chosen size is kept as the ceiling.
- Text sizes reach 400 pt and tracking 1.5 em.
- The Elements panel opens on a Text tab: the plain styles and 24 lockups
(titles, badges and stamps, chapter marks, quotes, captions, places), each
drawn with the book's own title and placed as one group.
- The assistant sets every effect through style and add, places a lockup with
add_lockup, reads the effects in describe_book_page and gets two new
findings (curve_overflow, effect_heavy) beside photo-fill and band checks.
- Book format revision 6.
- Fifty more shapes: arches, paper cut-outs (leaves, coral, weed, organic
circles, a wonky star and sun), stamps, a postmark, a rosette, tags and
ticket stubs, sunbursts, ribbons and bands, speech bubbles, drawn arrows,
hearts, stars, photo frames and ornaments (scroll, laurel, fleuron, corner).
The broad ones are photo frames too, and each tile is drawn at its shape's
own proportions, which a new shape is also placed at.
- A cut edge on rectangles, circles, arches and the other broad shapes, painted
or not, and on a photo's cut: zigzag, scallop, a postage stamp's perforation,
wavy, torn and deckle, with a depth in millimetres. Cut in millimetres, so
holes stay round on a wide frame.
- A line element: two to 32 points dragged on the canvas (a handle pulled from
the middle adds one, a double-click removes it), straight or curved, solid,
dashed or dotted, a wave or a zigzag, a hand-drawn wobble, a head on either
end and an ornament in the middle. A shelf of lines and dividers places them.
- The assistant reaches all of it: add and style take the line (its points on
the spread in mm) and the edges, describe_book_page says them, and two new
findings say when a line is too thin to print and when an edge is set on a
shape that takes none. A photo's mask is checked against the shape set
rather than listed again, which keeps the page edit's schema smaller.
- BOOK_SCHEMA_REV goes to 6.
Photos get a look beyond crop, mask and frame style, in Studio and for the
assistant alike:
- border (width and colour, following the mask or the corner radius), a hard
offset shadow and a die-cut cutout edge, all flat vector shapes in print
- zoom 1 to 4 about the focal point and a left to right mirror
- brightness, contrast, saturation and warmth, and a duotone; these are
filters, labelled raster in print in the inspector
- the print resolution of the selected photo in the inspector, with a warning
under 200 dpi, measured from the original
PhotoView moves out of SpreadView into its own file and uses per instance
SVG ids, so a spread drawn twice keeps its clips and filters apart. The style
operation takes the look, describe-spread lists it, the dpi and crop findings
account for zoom and mirror, and a new raster_effect finding notes filters on
a large photo. BOOK_SCHEMA_REV goes to 6.
The demo gate test allows wanderer as the parity harness does, the open tour
store is listed in the store registry, the trip chat card's test reads the
dates and not the question's hidden label, the lightbox leaves the rtl
baseline, and the tours module is formatted.
A third scope, home, next to trip and journey: threads that name neither a
trip nor a journey (the CHECK now only forbids both), reached under
/api/assistant by their owner only. A home turn reads the user's trips
through list_trips into a short card (under way, next, later, behind,
undated), offers every read (a trip's on the id the model names, checked by
the tool with the user's rights) and only the writes that take no trip or
journey (atlas, vacation planner, collections, tour library, settings), all
held as change cards. open_trip_chat answers with a card that goes on in
that trip's own chat with the question waiting in its composer.
On the desktop the window opens on the home chat outside a trip; its head
lists the trips to switch into and a switched trip chat has the way back.
On the phone the home chat opens full screen from the dashboard head and the
dock's More list, and the card opens the trip with its chat. Both run on
useAssistantHome.
P6: insert_tour_stop and remove_tour_stop take a place into a saved hike or
city walk as one stop and out again, each the other's undo, with change
cards in the chat. The planner's insertion rule (poiInsertion) moved to
shared so the planner and the server place a stop the same way. "+ Tour" on
a found place holds it as a stop of the saved tour open in the planner.
P7: GPX, KML and KMZ files attached in the chat are read into their tracks
and each is held as a change that takes it in as a hike through
import_tour_gpx, undoable per track; the GPX text stays on the held call.
The assistant can now search a round hike of about a wished length from one
point and the router's other ways for one leg of a hike, with the planner's
own search, and propose each one as a hike card to compare and take. It can
also search the user's wanderer trails, preview one as a card, import it and
check a wanderer tour against its source.
The round search, its loop geometry, the test whether two lines are one way,
the other ways among a router's offers and the pins that hold a chosen way
move to @trek/shared; the planner and the road trip use them from there.
City walk changes take edit, reverse and close_loop; edits alone keep the
saved way and never ask the router. update_tour turns a hike round or closes
its loop with reshape. New MCP tools mirror the Tours tab's REST writes and
reads: update_tour_details, set_tour_route_color, copy_tour,
classify_ski_track, set_paddle_plan, decide_paddle_obstacles,
restore_recorded_track, get_tour_trail_details and find_horse_routes, with
change cards, undo where the answer keeps the values before, and broadcast
parity cases.
A new element kind, sticker, draws layered vector illustrations from a library in twelve themes, behind its own entry point @trek/shared/stickers. Studio gets a Stickers rail section (themes, localized search, recently used, click or drag to place) and an inspector for colour slots, mirroring, turning and opacity. The assistant gets list_book_assets, add and style of stickers in edit_book_page, stickers in describe_book_page and an overlap warning for a sticker over words. BOOK_SCHEMA_REV goes to 2.
The assistant can now plan and save every type the Tours tab plans. A bike
tour or a run is proposed and created through the hike's own plan and save
(propose_tour, create_tour), routed on the server with the costing of its
profile, now kept once in shared and read by the planner as well. A paddle
or ski tour planned with plan_paddle_route or plan_ski_route is saved with
create_paddle_tour or create_ski_tour, and "Plan this" takes those plans,
bike tours and runs too. Every create has its card and its way back.
A group's head is a full width band, its category colour faint over the
card's grey, with the dot, the name and at its end the count as a white pill
and the people; the count shows on a change card too.
- Web search: ChatGPT (Responses web_search), Anthropic (web_search server
tool) and OpenRouter (web plugin) search the web themselves when the admin
switch allows it (on as it ships). A search shows as a step ("Searching the
web for ..."), the cited pages as source chips under the answer. Anthropic
answers that searched are replayed with their blocks (new provider state
adapter); the search step never goes back to the model as a call. The
prompt says when to search and that chosen places still go through
search_place.
- Tour writes: assign_tour_track (undo: take that assignment off),
unassign_tour_track, set_tour_activity_excluded (undo: the other switch),
link_tour_packing and unlink_tour_packing (undo from the link before, which
both answers now name) get change cards and their ways back.
- Found places: the strip shows only when the answer names one of them, the
named ones first. A click on a card, or "Add to trip", opens the planner's
place form filled in with the place on the day in focus, its Google details
(photos, hours, description) loading beside it; "+ Day" and the day grid
are gone.
- Trip notes: remember_for_trip runs at once without a card. The assistant
keeps lasting facts the user mentions (who travels, needs, likes, budget,
pace) on its own and offers the unsure ones as a follow-up; the chat shows
"Noted for this trip: ..." with the notes a tap away, and reads them again
so the dialog never saves over the new note.
- City walks: set_city_walk_visit checks a station off on its day (visited,
skipped, or the mark taken back), with day_edit as in the day plan, a
change card naming the station and its walk, and an undo that restores the
status before while the station is as the change left it.
- Card heads are a step smaller (32px tile, smaller title and count), and the
dot beside "Working on it" in the header is gone.
- The tour's sketch, figures and profile in a change row take the whole width
of the card and sit apart from the row above (wideBody), instead of under
its text pressed against it.
- "Start by 16:08" says the latest start in three words; the reason (to be
back before sunset) is its tooltip.
- The server joins a take to the answer that drew its proposal; the card only
looked in later answers, so it never found the take to decide and "Plan
this" still waited below for a second confirmation.
- An answer that asks the user something offers no fixed chips at all, only
the model's own answers to its question.
- The model proposes a clear request at once, saying what it assumed, and
puts the way it recommends first, which the card shows chosen.
The cards were rows of badges in badges with no head of their own; they now
follow the frame #2541 gave the trip's dialogs and booking cards.
- Every answer card and the change card open on a tinted head band: a raised
tile with the icon (a route its sketch), the kind as an eyebrow, the title,
one quiet line and the count; the change card turns green once decided.
- Figures are framed fields under their labels (a route's distance, climb,
descent, time), the parts of a card sit under eyebrows (height profile,
stops), and the ways onward sit in a foot bar across the card.
- A route's stops are a timeline down a line, each walk on the line between
two stops; the ways of a route are calm choices with their figures in one
line and how they differ from the chosen one in another.
- Packing, to-dos, the journal, Vacay and the Atlas get the band; quantities
and weights are quiet figures, an expense's place and split share one line.
- The Tours tab's map draws the routes the chat's cards show and follows the
assistant's camera, as the plan's map does; "On map" there stays on it and
only a tab without a map switches to the plan's.
- Once one of an answer's ways is taken into the trip, the answer draws none of
them: the taken one stands as its change, a discarded take brings them back.
- "Plan this" decides the take it holds at once instead of waiting below for a
second confirmation, says it is being planned, and once the tour is added the
desktop opens it in the Tours tab to be edited.
- The stops run as a timeline: each walking time sits on the line between two
stops, read with the stop it leads to, so no time reads as a stop's own.
- An answer about a tour leaves out the strip of places its searches went
through (hotels, a club in another state).
- "On map" from another tab of the planner brings the map back first, and a
map that mounts right after a request still carries it out.
A long note on the faint line squeezed the row's open, undo and done buttons
into a narrow column. It moves under the split (an expense) or the two people
(a payment), and the faint line may wrap.
The column took the page's room and cut the spread off. The Studio now opens
the same movable, resizable window as the planner, kept under its own key and
below the Studio's bar; its frame moved into assistantFrame.ts and
AssistantFrameEdges so both windows share it.
A turn may end on suggest_follow_ups: the server answers the call itself, keeps
its questions as data-trek-follow-ups and the chat shows them as chips under
the answer. Without them the chips fall back to what the answer holds, now by
the kind of change: a tour asks about the tour, the day plan's questions only
follow a change to the day plan, and an answer that asks the user something
offers no "tell me more".
The Studio drew the page after a held edit or cover change by running the
card's operations on its own book, which knows nothing of the journey's
photos, words and figures, so a caption from a photo, a text from an entry
or a map from the route came out differently or not at all. The card now
carries the page the server's trial made with the full context, read with
the book's schema and within the card's size, and the Studio draws it while
its book stands at the version the trial ran on. A book that moved on, a
card from before and a page too heavy to carry still run the operations on
the book on screen, the book the change will run on. The receipt leaves the
page out, since an applied change is drawn from the book itself.
An answer or a refusal no longer overwrites a newer page choice, and Apply
waits for every page selection the chat has sent, also after the card was
closed. A delete of several pages draws each page it takes, the receipt opens
the first page the design wrote through the same rule the strip uses, and the
vacay group's choices wait while a change runs.
A page preview draws the spread the server applied with the journey's photos,
texts and figures instead of applying the operations again without them. The
Studio's welcome, privacy banner and header fit a journey chat: a viewer is
told they can only look, the banner speaks of the book, and the trip notes
button stays in the trip chat. Escape closes the header menu before it stops a
reply, a single page renders at the full long edge, the status says a model
reads pages only while its provider has not refused an image, and pointing at
a page in a design card outlines it in the Studio.
Changes held in one step are applied in the order the chat shows them, so
"undo all" walks them back newest first. A page put back is checked against
the digest of the page as the change left it, so a save to another page no
longer blocks the undo; restore_book_page takes these digests as an option and
keeps the whole book check without them. The book card counts the user's own
photos, the preview tool describes itself per role, a copy into another trip
names no places, a held vacay toggle says up front whether it can be taken
back, and a viewer's Studio prompt names none of the design's tools.
Plan this checks place_edit like the tour routes, the include choices of a
run or group stay disabled while the chat applies a change, and a follow-up
can say when it applies, so Confirm the pending bookings shows only when the
card holds a pending booking of this trip.
The reservation and booking import describers move from the core preview
helpers to the booking card package, the collab domain names the whole
area, an unused vacay label is gone, and the trip, Studio and design prompt
lines no longer contradict each other or name tools a scope is not offered.
A quiet page the opener took the whole story from was dropped but still
counted, so the next hero came one page early. The change card's body now
sits beside its row, so the book design strip keeps the chosen pages while
the apply runs, and a card part that failed is drawn again on the next state.
