In this edition

Discovery & Validation Tree

  • Restructured the Validation Tree hierarchy to follow Bet → Hypothesis → Experiment → Evidence (Feedback/Learning) so relationships are clearer and empty nodes render directly under their parent Bet.
  • Removed the standalone Hypotheses tab to simplify navigation; hypothesis creation remains available via the New Hypothesis button and the tree context menus.
  • Restored accurate experiment filtering in Bet detail views so linked Experiments appear correctly.

Viewport & Graph Behavior

  • Smoother, more predictable graph navigation: the Validation Tree now centers cleanly on load, eliminates visible sliding/jumping when switching bets, and preserves user pan/zoom when opening detail views.
  • Added a focused 'maximize' control for intentionally centering on root elements and removed the automatic layout-rearrangement control to reduce unexpected layout changes.

Context Menus & Linking

  • Simplified node menus: left-click opens details so context menus no longer include redundant "View Details", and destructive "Delete" actions were removed to prevent accidental removals.
  • Replaced deletes with safe Unlink actions for common relationships (e.g., Bet↔Capability, Bet↔Opportunity, Hypothesis↔Bet, Experiment↔Bet, Feedback/Learning↔Experiment) so users can detach links without losing entities.
  • Expanded Experiment actions to let users link existing items or create-and-attach new Hypotheses, Feedback, and Learnings inline; added capability-linking from Bets.

Methods Library & Templates

  • Added a browsable Methods Library modal with search, category filters, and target-layer badges across 31 template methods to help teams discover and apply proven discovery techniques quickly.
  • Templates now include rich visual previews and badges for target layers (problem, solution, technical, commercial, commitment); those target-layer badges appear across Validation Tree nodes and Experiments Kanban cards and can be edited from the item details pane.
  • Quick-create integration: open the Methods Library from page actions and use it as the source when creating new experiment templates for a smoother browse-to-create experience.

Sidebar & Navigation

  • Streamlined the Validation Tree sidebar: compact header, search relocated to the footer, improved typography for Opportunity headings, and inline evolution percentages replace the horizontal progress bar for a cleaner list view.
  • Persisted the selected Bet across page refreshes and navigation by syncing selection with the URL and local state, so users return to the same Bet after navigation.

Visual Styling & Layout

  • Standardized node colors for clarity: Feedback nodes are Indigo/Blue and Learning nodes are Green to avoid theme color bleed and improve readability.
  • Fixed layout alignment in the Experiments tab so page headers, KPIs, filters, and Kanban columns align consistently to the design grid.

Agent Experience & Conversation UI

  • Updated the Agent conversation selector with a compact, scrollable dropdown and chat-history icon for faster thread switching.
  • Made the app launcher persistent while the agent panel is open so users can access the launcher without interrupting conversations.
  • Simplified the Agent Chat panel metrics into a single horizontal banner and replaced client-side cost estimates with server-backed transaction costs to display accurate billing information.

Platform Robustness

  • Improved behavior in Safari private mode so state persistence no longer causes application errors.
