What's New

Product updates for BrainStack Studio, from major feature launches to platform hardening and UX refinements.

v3.1.1
May 2026

Buyer Path & First-Value Hardening

Buyer-path and first-value hardening across scorecard, checkout, persona registry, operator recovery surface, and runtime error path.

  • FeatureOperations Scorecard (/diagnostic) with band-aware next move — direct paid trial path when ready, owner review path when not.
  • FeatureEmail-first guest checkout: the secure-checkout step asks for an email up front so an abandoned attempt can be matched to a real prospect instead of vanishing as anonymous traffic.
  • Feature/personas registry: every persona row labels its scope honestly (live, partial, or not yet scoped) so the buyer never sees a fake "fully covered" claim.
  • Feature/ops/recovery operator workbench — read-only, domain + hash only, no raw email, no sends from the surface.
  • Feature/status page surfaces deployment provenance — version, commit revision, and truth-vocabulary contract version — so an operator can identify which deploy is currently serving without scraping the JSON health endpoint.
  • ImprovementBuyer-facing copy refresh — abstract terms replaced with the concrete artifacts buyers actually receive (decision memo, scenario table, trace log, approval gates).
  • ImprovementSanitizer guard on hydrated Stripe product descriptions blocks vague vendor superlatives from leaking into /pricing or checkout copy.
  • ImprovementCheckout cancel page emits a one-shot cancel telemetry event and surfaces a Starter recovery nudge only when Starter is actually purchasable.
  • ImprovementCheckout success page distinguishes verifying, processing, error, and provisioned states — paid-features-while-syncing copy never claims access we cannot grant.
  • FixDiagnostic "Request Owner Review" button no longer routes when the scorecard is incomplete (asChild + disabled was setting only aria-disabled while the underlying Link still navigated).
  • FixStarter plan messaging is gated on actual /pricing visibility so post-trial copy never advertises a plan the buyer cannot purchase.
  • FixTrial-to-paid upgrade preserves trial access until the Stripe-confirmed paid subscription is recorded — no destructive trial cancellation before payment.
  • FixRuntime error page surfaces a tracked /support route (with the digest pre-attached) instead of only a mailto.
