Week of April 06, 2026
A foundational week for keeping planning and engineering in sync. GitHub connects in one click with real-time PRs and historic import, native Jira Cloud is in, and the AI assistant becomes a persistent dockable workspace fixture with a live timeline of background work. Highlight: the new Changes page, planning and delivery on one Unified Timeline.
In this edition
The Changes page, planning and delivery on one timeline
The new Changes page is the week's centerpiece. Product planning and engineering activity now share a Unified Timeline you can view, filter (by month or capability), group, and create from in one place. Delivery tracking lives on the same timeline, so feature updates and releases sit alongside the planning items they came from. Four KPIs (Total Changes, Active Integrations, In Progress, Completed) give you a project-health snapshot at a glance, and inline status editing means you can keep the board honest without context-switching.

GitHub: one-click connect, real-time PRs, historic import
GitHub goes from a setup chore to a one-click connection. Once linked, pull requests and workflow statuses show up in Changes in real time, no more manual reconciliation. A new historic PR import widget lets you pull in past PRs across a date range, so your timeline reflects the work that already happened, not just what's next. Background sync for large repos was hardened too: long imports complete reliably and stop creating duplicates.

Jira & LinkedIn integrations
Native Jira Cloud is in: map projects and issues into Outcomet, and issue updates surface automatically as actionable changes. Setup got a guided pass, clearer project selection (no webhook noise), a prominent Test Connection button, and visual connection-status cues so you know it actually worked. LinkedIn now preserves its workspace association during setup, and integration health indicators are unified across providers so a broken connection is obvious before it blocks work.

- Clearer error messages when something does break
Connection, OAuth & setup experience
Onboarding and OAuth flows are smoother and harder to get stuck in. Automated connection registration confirms "Connected Successfully" so there's no guessing, transient token errors no longer lock you out of reconnecting, and multi-tab sign-in is handled gracefully. Once connected, you get quick access to integration settings, including direct links from the Changes table.

AI assistant, background agents & live chat
The assistant becomes a real workspace fixture. The Agent Area and Agent Chat are now persistent and dockable, position left, right, or bottom, resize, reopen, and your layout sticks across sessions. A drawer-based mobile experience means the assistant is usable on smaller screens. A new Live Timeline streams real-time updates of background tasks so you can see the assistant's progress and reasoning as it runs, and live chat itself is more stable, fewer disconnects and frozen conversations during streaming. Background agents got fallback and single-execution improvements that cut failed tasks and duplicate actions on long or flaky runs.

Stability, performance & docs
Cross-platform coordination and a codebase hardening pass deliver more consistent behavior across the app. Documentation navigation was flattened so help is easier to scan, and automated audits + link verification now run continuously to keep content accurate.
