GitHub source-of-truth model

  • When GitHub is connected to a project, GitHub is now the canonical source of code — the Hiveku database is a working buffer reconciled against GitHub at every deploy
  • AI chat sessions auto-commit to GitHub at session end. A 10-second debounce batches back-to-back chat turns into a single hiveku[bot] commit, prefixed [hiveku] Sync from Hiveku
  • Bot commits never trigger an auto-deploy. The auto-deploy toggles continue to fire only for pushes made outside Hiveku (your laptop, VSCode, external collaborators, GitHub Actions, etc.)
  • Every deploy starts with a pre-deploy sync. If the database and GitHub have BOTH modified the same file since the last sync, the deploy is paused with a conflict notice — you pick which version wins, then retry. Previously these conflicts could silently overwrite work
  • External MCP agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) gain a project_commit invariant — tool descriptions now state that committing is required for persistence on GitHub-connected projects, with explicit warnings about the auto-overwrite risk
  • See GitHub Integration for the full model and Deployments for how the pre-deploy sync gate works

​
Native Mobile (Expo) project type

  • New project type — pick Native Mobile in the new-project dialog to scaffold a real Expo Router app with Supabase auth, items CRUD, NativeWind, and protected route groups; Supabase database is provisioned automatically
  • Per-project Fly.io preview running Metro + React Native Web inside an iPhone/Android phone-frame chrome (11 device presets, landscape mode, accent color picker — selection persists per-project in localStorage)
  • AI agent trained on Expo Router + NativeWind conventions; knows the difference between an OTA-deliverable JS edit and a native-dependency change that requires a Build & Ship
  • Mobile Credentials page — connect your Apple Developer (.p8 ASC API key) and Google Play (service account JSON) accounts; live preflight validation via signed JWTs, encrypted storage in AWS Secrets Manager
  • One-click Build & Ship — kicks off parallel iOS + Android EAS builds, auto-creates the iOS App Store Connect record on first build, and auto-submits to TestFlight + Play Console Internal track
  • Build cancel button, email notifications on success/failure, decoded Apple/Google error messages with Fix with AI deeplink (~60% of common failures resolvable end-to-end)
  • OTA Update channels (Preview + Production) with atomic Promote button; bundle size warnings (amber at 75 MB, red at 100 MB) with per-package breakdown
  • App Store Assets generator — one form turns app name + tagline + accent color into a 1024×1024 icon, splash screen, and store-listing copy (subtitle, description, keywords)
  • GitHub integration parity with web projects — Build & Ship tags the commit, AI edits auto-commit, .env excluded from sync
  • See the Mobile Quickstart to ship your first build in ~60 minutes

Design Studio — Layered Motion Graphics

  • New animated design surface at /dashboard/marketing/design/ — every text, shape, image, and CTA stays an editable Fabric layer while motion plays
  • Animation is a property of layers (not a baked MP4), so dragging the headline mid-playback, retyping any word, or swapping a color via the picker keeps motion working
  • AI design agent generates the static frame using your brand kit, then animates each layer with coherent strategies — Cascade Fade-Up, Kinetic, Hero Scale + Fade, or Slideshow
  • 14 enter/exit presets + 4 loop motions (pulse, wiggle, breathe, rotate-slow) shared across the AI tool, the per-layer Style panel editor, and the MP4 export compositor
  • 18 layered animated starter templates spanning Instagram / Reel / TikTok / YouTube / email-banner surfaces — fully editable from frame zero, no template lock-in
  • Per-layer animation editor in the right Style panel with debounced sliders (250ms), auto-pause on selection, and snapshot-and-restore runtime that prevents drift
  • Canvas-level Animation panel with one-click strategy buttons that preserve existing loop motions when re-strategizing
  • MP4 export via Remotion render worker; PNG export client-side for static designs
  • See the Design Studio docs for full coverage

Hiveku CMS (Webflow-style structured content)

  • New manifest-driven CMS — declare collections in hiveku.cms.json with typed fields, references, and validation
  • CMS panel in /v3 with a Webflow-style entry list, form editor, version history, and bulk import
  • File-backed storage: MDX for blog-like content, JSON for structured data — all in content/
  • AI-driven scaffolding: agents read your existing site and migrate hardcoded data into the CMS
  • 13 supported field types including reference for linking collections (blog → author, product → category)

​
Email Marketing Agent

  • New Email Marketing department with a full ESP (audiences, campaigns, templates, sequences, deliverability)
  • AI coach “Lumen” embedded on every email page — drafts newsletters, builds audiences, triages deliverability
  • Default memory, 4 skills, 3 rules, and the coach persona auto-seeded on first enable
  • Cross-agent delegation: content, branding, and ppc agents can hand work to the email team

​
Sales AI Co-pilot

  • AI co-pilot layered on top of CRM — drafts replies, summarizes meetings, surfaces follow-ups

  • Reads meeting transcripts, calendar, and contact activity for full context
  • New how-tos for AI SDR, sales sequences, and reminders
