What's New

Improved

• The AI layer now calls a self-hosted, OpenAI-compatible platform instead of Anthropic — same two features (Daily Brief summary, natural-language search), same rule-based fallback when unconfigured, different backend

Known Issues

• The new structured-output path relies on JSON-mode plus prompt-described shape instead of a strict schema-enforcement API, since the new platform has no equivalent to Anthropic's schema parsing — validated with Zod on the way back instead

Added

• The catalog grew from 15 to 1,294 real titles, bulk-imported directly from TMDB across Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Hong Kong, and the Philippines
• Celebrity and cast photos are now real photos, not placeholders
• Categories, country hubs, and Streaming now show hundreds of results instead of a dozen

Fixed

• A page-load slowdown at catalog scale, caused by a database query pattern that didn't scale past a few dozen titles

Known Issues

• Bulk-imported titles don't have episode schedules yet, so they won't appear on New Episodes or Calendar — only on browse pages
• Music & OST stays small — there's no free, verified real data source for that at scale yet

Added

• Swapped the entire drama/reality catalog for 15 real, verified titles and 25 real people
• Real poster and backdrop art now loads for every title via TMDB
• A new Categories page — K-Drama, C-Drama, J-Drama, and Reality & Variety in one place
• An accent color wheel in Settings — 6 palettes, each with its own light and dark look
• A refined, consistent brand mark across the favicon, app icons, and in-app logo

Improved

• What's New now lives in the sidebar, not just the footer

Added

• Security headers and Content-Security-Policy on every route, plus stricter server-side validation on every write action
• Accessibility fixes: missing labels on several form controls, a skip-to-content link, and keyboard handling on the mobile menu and search dialog
• An automated test suite covering the trickiest logic (search, story clustering, seed-data integrity)
• An offline page and connection banner — a lost connection shows a branded page instead of a browser error
• An admin dashboard for provider/database health and the reports queue

Fixed

• A real Anthropic API bug found by testing against a live key, where AI summaries were silently failing back to the rule-based version

Known Issues

• No automated pipeline runs tests on every change yet — still a manual step
• The accessibility pass was a manual review, not a full screen-reader walkthrough

Added

• Reviews on every drama page — score, sub-scores, spoiler flag, and helpfulness voting
• Public profiles at /u/[username] with an opt-in public watchlist and your reviews
• Follow other users from their public profile
• Community Prediction polls on reality/competition shows, clearly separate from real results
• Report button on reviews, with basic rate limiting on new review creation

Known Issues

• Reports are recorded but nothing reviews them yet — no moderation queue
• No episode-level comments, reactions, or blocking/muting yet

Added

• AI-written Daily Brief summary when an Anthropic key is configured (rule-based otherwise)
• Natural-language drama search on Discover — describe what you want to watch in plain English
• Trend-snapshot background job and rank-movement arrows on trending titles

Known Issues

• AI features haven't been tested against a real Anthropic key yet — only the fallback paths have been verified
• Rank-movement arrows won't appear until the trend-snapshot job has run at least twice against a real database

Added

• Reality/variety Contestants tab with spoiler-gated results (rank, elimination, winner)
• Real Awards hub and Awards tabs on drama/person pages, with spoiler-gated winners
• Statistics tab with a TV-rating chart
• Celebrity Directory search/filters and an Upcoming Birthdays section
• Music & OST playlist builder — select tracks, generate Spotify/YouTube links
• Region-aware streaming: a region selector shows what's confirmed available near you

Known Issues

• Contestants, awards, and ratings are seed-data only — not yet queryable from a connected database
• No multi-season reality show support yet

Added

• Watchlist: add/update/remove a title's status from any drama page; My List groups your titles by status
• Episode progress: mark individual episodes watched from a drama's Episodes tab
• Follow celebrities from their profile page; see them under My List → Following
• Personalized homepage section and a real Alerts page, computed live from your watchlist and follows
• Settings: region now saves to your account when signed in with a database connected

Known Issues

• Alert delivery (email/push) isn't wired up — alerts are computed live on page load, not pushed to you
• MyDramaList/CSV import isn't built yet
• Following is available for celebrities only, not yet for directors/screenwriters/networks

Added

• Home dashboard with daily stats, episode timeline, top stories, trending titles, and birthday strip
• Daily Brief with Quick/Standard/Deep reading depths, copy & listen actions
• News with country/rumor tabs and rule-based story clustering with full update timelines
• New Episodes (today/tomorrow/week) and unified Calendar with .ics export
• Drama Browser and Drama Detail pages with cast, crew, episodes, and OST tabs
• Country hubs (Korea, China, Japan fully populated; others growing) and Reality & Variety browse
• Global search with a Cmd/Ctrl+K command palette
• Clerk authentication (sign-in/up), Neon + Drizzle schema for the full data model
• TMDB integration for real poster/backdrop art once TMDB_API_KEY is set

Known Issues

• Watchlists, alerts, celebrity following, reviews, and the admin dashboard are schema-ready but not yet wired to the UI
• Streaming availability is not region-verified
• Awards, full Music/OST hub, and Ratings dashboard are placeholder pages
