Ship notes

What shipped, and what it cost.

One note per shipped change: what was broken, what we did, and the tradeoff we took. The tradeoff is the part worth reading.

24 Jul 2026
1. Inspector 0.1.2
  Real installer downloads for the Inspector
  The desktop Inspector's download buttons pointed at a docs placeholder, so anyone who wanted the client had to go and find the binary themselves. They now resolve to the actual signed artifacts — .dmg, .deb, .rpm and .AppImage — served from the package registry.
  The tradeoff
  We publish straight from the registry rather than fronting it with our own CDN. Downloads are honest and always current, but they inherit the registry's latency and we get no download analytics.
2. Billing
  Atoms are metered at ingest, not at read
  Metering ran in the wrong place: the cost of a corpus is the chunk-and-embed pass, but the meter only moved on reads. Stores could be filled without the bill reflecting the work done. Ingest now increments a watermark that tracks in both directions, so deleting to zero no longer resets what you already spent.
  The tradeoff
  Charging at ingest means you pay before you have read anything, which is a worse first-run experience than charging on use. We took it because the alternative — absorbing embed cost and recovering it through reads — punishes exactly the customers who read least.
3. Dashboard
  The dashboard tells you what you have left
  The storage card rendered an unlimited plan's sentinel value literally, so enterprise accounts were told they had nine million terabytes. The card is now plan-aware, alongside a new atoms card that shows usage against what your plan includes, and free accounts get a hard cap with an upgrade path instead of silent failure.
  The tradeoff
  A hard cap turns a soft degradation into a wall. We would rather a free user hits a clear limit and knows why than discovers their agent quietly stopped seeing new files.
4. Account
  Account settings show real subscription state
  The account modal was a shell: it displayed a fabricated device list and a delete-account control that did nothing. The subscription panel is now wired to real account data, the invented sections are gone, and password reset points at the actual flow.
  The tradeoff
  Removing the dead controls made the settings screen look emptier than a mature product's. Shipping an honest empty panel beat shipping a full one that lies.
