What's new

The Spotify search box on new project no longer loses focus or keystrokes when Livewire updates.

• wire:ignore on the Spotify picker; less aggressive MIDI/artist Livewire bindings.
• JS — Skip picker re-init while the search input is focused.

Fixed Spotify link and artist name disappearing on the new project screen.

• Livewire sync — Selecting a Spotify artist updates server state so MIDI upload re-renders do not clear the link.
• Artist name — Field syncs while typing; linked artist restores after Livewire updates.

Full project CRUD in the workspace UI.

• Builders — Edit song name and artist; delete own projects (files removed from storage).
• Admin / superadmin — See all projects with owner column; edit, reassign owner, or delete any project.

Deploy script can install python3.x-venv when missing (typical Forge sudo).

• ensure-python-venv.sh — Probes venv creation, runs apt install for pythonX.Y-venv, then builds .venv.
• Opt out — CHARTBUILDER_SKIP_APT_VENV=1 in Forge environment.

Safer chart engine setup on Laravel Forge after failed deploys.

• ensure-python-venv.sh — Detects missing ensurepip, removes incomplete .venv (no pip), recreates cleanly.
• Forge docs — python3.12-venv apt step, remove broken venv under current/. Deploying on Laravel Forge.

Chart processing on Forge requires a server-side Python venv (not in git).

• scripts/ensure-python-venv.sh — Add to Forge deploy script after composer install.
• chartbuilder:python-check — STDERR smoke test for venv + CLI.
• Path resolution — Fixes broken PWD placeholders in .env; clearer errors when Python is missing.
• Docs — Deploying on Laravel Forge.

Projects no longer stay stuck on Processing when no queue worker is running.

• Synchronous processing (default) — CHARTBUILDER_PROCESS_SYNCHRONOUSLY=true runs Python in the web request; set false only when queue:work is running. Process charts.
• Song name from MIDI — Smarter filename suggestion (drops guitar/repaired/etc.); you can edit the title; manual edits are not overwritten. Create a chart project.
• chartbuilder:deploy-check — STDERR output (works with -q), Python path checks, non-zero exit on failures.

SSH deploy scripts that run Artisan with -q no longer hide grant-superadmin results.

• chartbuilder:grant-superadmin — Progress and success/error lines print to STDERR (visible with -q).
• Deploy docs — Note to run optimize:clear if the command is missing after deploy.

Production superadmin grant now targets the account you actually sign in with.

• chartbuilder:grant-superadmin — Finds users by Google provider_email as well as users.email; promotes placeholder @users.chartbuilder.local rows to the platform email when safe.
• Platform superadmin on sign-in — Same matching rules for mtech801@gmail.com after Google OAuth.

Accounts must confirm their email before using the dashboard, projects, or admin tools.

• Verify your email — Link sent on register and Google sign-in; resend from the notice page. Verify your email.
• Google sign-in — No longer auto-verifies; click the link in your inbox like password sign-ups.
• Platform superadmin — mtech801@gmail.com remains auto-verified for operations.

Operations and access fixes for chartmonix.com.

• Platform superadmin — mtech801@gmail.com is always granted superadmin on sign-in (admin shell + New project).
• Deploy checklist — Deploying, chartbuilder:deploy-check, chartbuilder:grant-superadmin.
• Google OAuth — Sign in with Google updated for production domains (redirect URI typos).
• makeitsoprod — Promote development to production after each release.

Smoother new-project flow for builders.

• MIDI first — Pick your .mid / .midi file before naming the chart.
• Song name from filename — Title prefills from the MIDI filename (edit anytime). Create a chart project.
• Bitbucket Git from .env — Local HTTPS push helper (scripts/configure-bitbucket-git.sh).
• E2E test superadmin — Local-only seeded account for QA. E2E test user.

Polish release for builders and admins.

• Projects menu — Quick list of your projects with complete/incomplete status.
• Light / dark mode — Toggle in the header; Profile appearance (OS → browser → account). UI theming.
• Public What's new & roadmap — /whats-new and /docs/roadmap without login.
• Admin shell — Brand sidebar + header for admins (Users).
• Spotify on project create — Paste artist URLs (e.g. open.spotify.com/artist/…) reliably links artists.
• Release workflow — Make it so with VERSION and changelog:sync.

Shipped the first builder workspace: upload MIDI, queue processing, and download chart.json and GP5 exports.

• Chart projects — Create a chart project, download exports.
• Artists — Saved artists, admin visibility, Spotify linking (search + paste artist URL).
• In-app documentation — Docs, roadmap, and detailed What's new notes.
• Google sign-in on https://chartbuilder.com — Sign in with Google.
