  • Procedural Flow Assist — AI suggestions for procedural flow editing with [STEPS_UPDATE] markers
  • AI Chat Conclusion — Outcome tracking, AI-generated ticket summaries, resume flow
  • AI Copilot — In-session copilot panel with RAG, standalone assistant chat
  • KB Accelerator — Upload .md files and convert to troubleshooting/procedural flows with AI, tree builder with validation gate
  • Script Generator — Backend engine with parameter detection, template editor with conditional/looping, PowerShell and Bash generation
  • Command Palette — Quick flow navigation and actions (Ctrl+K)
  • Session-to-Flow Converter — AI-powered conversion of finished sessions into reusable flows
  • Sidebar Redesign — Activity feed, grouped navigation, improved flow discovery
  • Flow Export/Import — JSON export, import with validation, cross-team flow transfer
  • Survey System — Public survey page, admin invite tracking, response viewer with CSV export, email invitations, read/unread/archive/delete management
  • Email Verification — Tokens, banner, admin toggle (platform setting)
  • Account Management — Profile settings, delete/leave/transfer team, chat retention settings
  • Slate & Ice Aesthetic Redesign — Glassmorphism with ice-cyan accents, Bricolage Grotesque + IBM Plex Sans + JetBrains Mono typography, orchestrated page-load animations
  • Tailwind CSS v3 → v4 Migration — CSS custom properties, glass utilities, React Flow CSS integration
  • Landing Page + Beta Signup — Marketing-ready landing page with CSS polish
  • PostHog Product Analytics — 60+ events instrumented, PostHogProvider, identifyUser/resetAnalytics wired to auth, Dockerfile build args for Railway
  • Playwright E2E Tests — 17 spec files, full CI job, auth storage state, both webServers managed in config
  • ConnectWise PSA Integration (Core) — Provider pattern (BasePsaProvider / ConnectWiseProvider), connection CRUD, ticket context retrieval, session-to-ticket linking, member mapping, credential encryption, in-memory TTL cache

Phase 3.5: Polish & Professional (Mar 2026 — PR #114)

  • Empty States — Illustrative empty states across 8 pages, upgraded EmptyState component with illustration + learn-more support
