v5.6.0
RELEASE
2026-05-09
Backend moved to api.thyfwxit.com (same-site cookies), server-side OAuth fallback, Speed Test as standalone page with ads, Maintenance Hub redesigned, cross-origin auth fixed.
- Backend migrated from nexus-terminalnexus.onrender.com to api.thyfwxit.com (DNS CNAME). Cookies now flow correctly without 3rd-party blocking.
- Server-side Google OAuth redirect flow as a fallback when the popup library is blocked by ad blockers or privacy settings.
- Speed Test moved to its own standalone page (speedtest.html) with side-rail ads on desktop and top/bottom ads on mobile.
- Speed Test results now show human-readable notes for each metric (e.g. "4K streaming, no bottleneck" for 200+ Mbps).
- Maintenance Hub redesigned with dashboard layout, tappable info tips, live mode updates, and CPU architecture detection.
- Standalone pages (privacy, terms, about, changelog, leaderboard, speedtest) now have consistent footer navigation.
- AdSense ad units wired on speedtest.html and leaderboard.html.
- ads.txt added at domain root for AdSense full account approval.
- Owner cookie never being set in production: auth fetch was missing credentials:'include' on cross-origin requests.
- Image quota header showing 0/5 for owner: same credentials:'include' bug on the quota poll.
- Server info showing "?" for city: now maps country codes to full names and hides unknown cities.
- Login status messages cleaned up ("Signing in..." instead of "SYNCHRONIZING IDENTITY...").
- Speed Test button from sidebar tools (access via Maintenance Hub only now).
v5.5.1
PATCH
2026-05-08
AdSense wired in, ad-loop bugs fixed, moderation patterns hardened, three game bugs squashed.
- Google AdSense bootstrap script integrated for monetization (publisher ID + ad-block recovery).
- AI Profile rebuilt with 4 tabs: IDENTITY · MEMORY · MODE · TOOLS.
- System Settings rebuilt with 4 tabs: VISUAL · TEXT · INPUT · AUDIO + automatic OS-preference detection (reduce-motion, contrast, etc.).
- Hard refusal policy now applies in every chat mode for critical content.
- Pong crash on game-over (submitScore was undefined).
- Wordle physical keyboard now works (Backspace, Enter, A-Z).
- Snake cells no longer visually overlap the wall border.
- Critical-content moderation: 18/18 prompts caught (was 5/18). New patterns for arson, kidnapping, body disposal, school violence.
- Cross-domain cookies now work on production (SameSite=None on HTTPS). Owner DevPanel API endpoints stop returning 403 after re-login.
- Critical-lockout auto-redirect to dedicated locked page (caused a tight reload loop with rehydrate-on-boot).
v5.5.0
RELEASE
2026-05-07
Major SFW pivot: NSFW image generation removed entirely. ComfyUI retired. Replicate becomes the paid SFW image generator. AdSense-eligible build.
- Replicate Flux-schnell as the primary paid SFW image provider ($0.003 per image, $15/mo cap).
- Dedicated lockout page (
/nexus/locked.html) with countdown timer and access-restoration UI.
- Combined strike counter — NSFW + hostility tracked together. Three strikes triggers escalating lockout. Slurs hit 30-min lockout instantly.
- Unfiltered chaos rage system with role-aware rates and smart lockout ladder.
- Discord moderation webhook severity routing (silent for low/medium, owner-mention for high/critical).
- Live commit-status indicator on portfolio Nexus preview (sandbox-ahead-of-main shows as ONGOING).
- All explicit/NSFW image generation system-wide. Image generation is now SFW only in every mode.
- ComfyUI provider entirely (was running on GTX 1070 Ti home GPU).
- Coder and Education modes can no longer generate images (per topic-lock policy).
v5.4.x
EARLIER
~2026-04
DevPanel cleanup, lobby v5.2.6 lock, sandbox/main worktree workflow, image gen tier system, accessibility kernel.
- Detailed release notes for older versions are being backfilled. See commit history for now.
