Owners and admins now receive a weekly summary email per team listing releases published in the last 7 days, new email subscribers, lifetime reaction totals, and drafts waiting for approval; quiet weeks send nothing. The digest is on by default and can be toggled per team from Dashboard → Team (owners/admins only).

The embed widget gains a new bell mode that shows a per-visitor unread-count badge (stored in the visitor's browser localStorage) and clears when they open the drawer; it also supports mounting inline via data-target, flipping corner with data-position, and a programmatic API (window.PatchpenWidget.open/close/refresh). This launcher mode and snippet are exposed from the dashboard Embed page (Pro-only).

Public changelog pages now show an anonymous reaction row under each release (Thumbs up / Celebrate / Love); reactions are optimistically updated in the UI with per-visitor localStorage dedupe and visitors can undo their own reaction. Tallies are stored on the release and shown in the dashboard and public APIs, and a per-product toggle in Product settings (default on) can disable the UI.

Patchpen now publishes /terms and /privacy pages (linked from marketing footers) describing accounts, billing, AI-generated content, data retention, subprocessors, and user rights. Both pages are integrated into the site shell and included in the sitemap so they are discoverable from the site.

The server now injects per-route <title>, meta description, canonical and Open Graph/Twitter tags into the SPA shell so crawlers and unfurlers see route-specific content; private dashboard/invite routes are marked noindex and unknown URLs return a real 404. The sitemap, robots.txt, static OG image and touch icons were also added to improve discovery and link previews.

Webhook-mode products are now re-checked once per day and a scheduled-style generation is enqueued to fetch commits since lastProcessedSha, so pushes lost while the server was unreachable are self-healed within ~24 hours; the sweep is a no-op when nothing was missed. The change is documented in the Generation Modes docs.

The client now lazy-loads dashboard, docs, and legal pages so marketing pages ship a much smaller initial JavaScript bundle and get faster first paint. Legal and docs content are loaded on demand while marketing routes remain eager for instant load.
