A book held at most 150 spreads. The auto layout cut everything past that
without a word, so a long journey's book ended about three quarters of the
way through, with its last page and back cover gone, and adding, copying or
applying a designed page to a full book was refused.
The spread cap is gone from the book schema, the page operations, the
design composer and its apply, the assistant's book card and the design tool
contracts. A design's own page budget (pages.max) still bounds what it lays
out. The save route's 8 MB body still bounds a book's size, which at two to
five kilobytes an auto laid page is a few thousand pages.
The templated design digests move because their counter ids shift by two;
the pages, their order and their elements are unchanged.
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.
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 element, spread, document, page operation and card unions carry a
name of their own, so the declarations of every schema that holds them
refer to them instead of spelling them out again. The shared declarations
shrink from 9 to 5.5 MB and the server's typecheck from 4.4 to 2.9 GB, so
the build fits the image's 4 GB again.
- edit_book_page and revise_book_design take add by what the element is,
with an id of its own; its look follows with style by that id in the same
call, every look field described once. A change an assistant card kept
with its look on add still reads and runs.
- restore_book_page states what every element has once, then each kind's
own fields and the type the five travel kinds share, without defaults; the
page is read as a spread again before it goes back.
- The theme links are explained once in the page edit's description, and
style points a text's face, a shape's paint and outline and a photo's crop
look at their one full description.
- The lockup roles live in a module of their own, so the operation schemas
no longer import the lockup engine, whose cycle left the operations unset
in the shared tests.
- The theme switches no longer fall through a comment, the newer document
test follows the current revision, the line inspector names its stroke
keys, a text's anchor reads no physical side, two shapes record the
proportions they are drawn at, and the photo look and line tests follow
the slider and the folded ornaments.
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.
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.
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.
- 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 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.
design_book, revise_book_design and apply_book_design work on a draft, the
apply keeps the old book as a revision for undo, skips pages changed since,
and broadcasts once after the commit. Book level tools set the page setup,
duplicate pages and save layouts.
