v0.5.14 - I'm only happy when it rains

Oh, there is so much going on in this release, and so much we can't tell... for another few days.

Body

  • The image editor prompts authors to add alt text.

  • Writer pages: /writers/[slug] now lists a writer's reviews alongside their articles, with updated empty-state and metadata wording.

  • Header navigation: "My news feed" now links to /u/home/list, the /u/feed route is retired

  • Category band: the category ribbon on news, event and review pages gets its own gutter and margin, and renders nothing when there are no categories.

  • Home feed default: signed-in users with no stored preference now land on the list view (/u/home/list)

  • Careers: new public /careers pages

  • Comments editor: draft text in the Coral comment and reply editor now uses the body colour, so it is readable in the grimdark theme.

  • Favicon: replaced with solid square brand-colour tiles that read on both light and dark backgrounds.

  • Story card cleanup: unused desktopOnlyImage option removed. No visible change.

  • Upload scanning: client checks, a notice and scan states for uploads, with no polling.

  • API keys page: links the agent skill file served by the developer docs link.

  • Column articles: the Talk comments now sit directly under the story, with the series footer after them.

  • About us: cosmetic update

  • Column rails: comment-only change documenting the 6-card cap

  • Scan before attach: client side of attaching only scanned uploads.

  • Publish lifecycle: five explicit statuses (Draft, Scheduled, Published, Unpublished, Deleted) with validation tiers, plus Unschedule and Restore.

  • Content forms: new Close button to leave a piece after changes, with Discard Changes when dirty; returns to where the author came from, or the dashboard.

  • Welcome card: the "Create and share" link now reaches the post editor instead of redirecting to /u/home.

  • Tag chips: a grab cursor on draggable tag and genre chips in the content forms.

  • Author dashboard: rows link to the latest path of a re-slugged piece, not the old untitled- placeholder.

  • Content forms: clicking Close within about 300 ms of typing in the body no longer loses the edit.

  • Form bar: secondary actions (Unpublish, Unschedule, Save as Draft, Delete) show inline from tablet width up, and stay in the menu on mobile.

  • Header and dashboard: "My profile" opens the public profile, the dashboard drops the content-lifecycle help panel, and some copy is tidied.

  • Post authoring URL: posts are now authored at /u/content/post instead of /u/content/socialPost; articles, reviews and events keep their URLs.

  • Dashboard links: the title and View links no longer prefetch the public URL, avoiding a cached 404 for scheduled posts.

  • Lead editor: edits made within the 300 ms debounce now survive Publish, Save, Close and switching tabs, on all content forms and the Writer form.

  • Crawler paths: null paths from crawlers now 404 in the proxy, and tag feeds and the home list no longer emit /u/null for authors without a slug (links by UUID instead).
