Version 0.1.35

This release delivers a major refactoring of the frontend codebase, splitting the monolithic app.js into dedicated feature modules for better maintainability and developer experience.

Refactoring

  • Split app.js into six dedicated feature modules using dependency injection pattern:
  • utils.js (402 lines): Pure utility functions
  • flashcards.js (775 lines): FlashcardFeature class
  • committee.js (528 lines): CommitteeFeature class
  • matrix.js (846 lines): MatrixFeature class
  • factcheck.js (691 lines): FactcheckFeature class
  • research.js (348 lines): ResearchFeature class
  • Reduced app.js from ~8,479 to 5,503 lines (35% reduction). (d1c6221) (Eric Ma)

Technical Details

  • All feature modules use lazy initialization via getters in App class
  • Feature modules are reset when graph changes to ensure fresh state
  • All 55 JS tests and 48 Python tests pass

Version 0.1.32

This release includes an important bug fix to prevent data loss during concurrent matrix cell updates, ensuring more reliable and consistent behavior when multiple operations occur simultaneously.

New Features

  • No new features were added in this release.

Bug Fixes

  • Prevent matrix cell data loss during concurrent fills by re-reading node state before writing updates, avoiding race conditions where parallel operations could overwrite each other. Includes tests demonstrating the issue and verifying the fix. (a95a26) (Eric Ma)

Version 0.1.31

This release focuses on improving code quality and maintainability by introducing a new helper method to prevent bugs, enhancing documentation on testing best practices, fixing critical bugs related to API calls, and cleaning up code formatting.

New Features

  • Added a buildLLMRequest helper method in the App class to centralize and standardize parameters for LLM API requests, preventing missing base_url bugs and reducing code duplication (f4b362) (Eric Ma)
  • Added a new section "When NOT to write unit tests" in AGENTS.md to guide developers on appropriate testing strategies and avoid brittle or redundant tests (c30913) (Eric Ma)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed missing base_url parameter in all /api/refine-query calls (search, research, factcheck), ensuring correct routing through LLM proxy configurations (36bdd0) (Eric Ma)

Deprecations

  • Removed 7 unit tests for the buildLLMRequest helper after code review, following updated testing guidelines that discourage unit testing complex instance methods with runtime dependencies (a95a93) (Eric Ma)

Chores

  • Applied pre-commit formatting fixes including markdown improvements and removal of unused imports to maintain code quality (abe8fc) (Eric Ma)

Version 0.1.30

This release improves the robustness of text highlighting in markdown tables containing rendered math by replacing the previous normalization-based matching with a Smith-Waterman local alignment algorithm. This change addresses issues with incorrect or partial highlights caused by browser artifacts when selecting text from KaTeX-rendered content.

New Features

  • Implement Smith-Waterman local alignment to accurately match user text selections in HTML, handling insertions, deletions, and mismatches gracefully (064e70) (Eric Ma)

Bug Fixes

  • Fix text highlighting failures in KaTeX-rendered markdown tables by replacing normalization-based matching with sequence alignment (064e70) (Eric Ma)

Version 0.1.29

This release introduces the new /factcheck slash command, enabling users to verify claims through an interactive modal interface. The feature includes a smooth user experience with loading indicators, claim selection with warnings for large selections, and animated UI elements for better usability. Several bug fixes and UI improvements accompany this major addition.

New Features

  • Implemented the /factcheck slash command with claim selection modal and verification logic, including parallel fact-checking and verdict analysis (c365c9) (Eric Ma)
  • Added loading node UX to show immediate feedback during factcheck processing, with status updates and cancellation support (c365c9) (Eric Ma)
  • Enabled selecting more than five claims with an informational warning and added a toggle to select or deselect all claims (c365c9) (Eric Ma)
  • Added smooth accordion expand/collapse transitions for factcheck nodes for a polished user experience (c365c9) (Eric Ma)

Bug Fixes

  • Corrected factcheck modal element ID from claims-count to selection-count (c365c9) (Eric Ma)
  • Added padding to factcheck node content during loading state to fix spacing issues (c365c9) (Eric Ma)
  • Removed border flash when closing factcheck accordion by adjusting transition effects (c365c9) (Eric Ma)
