settings workspace, otp split, usage period

settings--workspace, otp--split, and usage-dashboard--period. Gold-path add-page and upgrade strip Dana Reyes from otp-split. saas /settings stacks workspace; /billing keeps the usage overview.

  • settings--workspace, otp--split, and usage-dashboard--period land in the catalog
v0.7.22026-09-07Released

gold-path sqlite schema matches Better Auth 1.7.3

account.issuer is nullable — Better Auth never writes it, and 1.7.3 refuses a required column. upgrade --all and re-compose patch existing schemas without overwriting the rest of the file.

  • account.issuer is nullable; upgrade --all patches existing gold-path schemas
v0.7.12026-09-06Released

gold-path auth and chrome are honest

saas/admin split login/signup drop Dana Reyes / Northwind. The shell drops the no-op Notifications bell. Docs describe Items and Team as the live nav.

v0.7.02026-09-03Released

create-cronus-app defaults to saas

v0.6.222026-09-03Released

gold-path nav drops catalog demo routes

  • saas/admin nav is Items and Team; upgrade and add-page re-strip catalog demo routes
v0.6.212026-09-02Released

gold-path first-run db:push

v0.6.202026-09-02Released

gold-path first-run .env

saas/admin compose writes .env when missing, with a generated BETTER_AUTH_SECRET, and gitignores .env. Existing .env is never overwritten.

  • saas/admin compose writes .env with a generated Better Auth secret
v0.6.192026-09-02Released

upgrade re-emits gold-path owned files

cronus-ui upgrade --all on saas and admin rewrites compose always-true adapters and panels so CLI gold-path fixes reach existing apps.

v0.6.152026-09-01Released

v0.6.142026-09-01Released

v0.6.132026-09-01Released

v0.6.122026-09-01Released

Home nav is Items

create-cronus-app --template saas (and admin) labels `/` as Items in the sidebar, matching the live ItemsPanel heading.

  • saas and admin nav for / is Items, not Dashboard/Overview
v0.6.112026-09-01Released

v0.6.102026-09-01Released

  • InviteDialog stays open with a copyable URL when onInvite returns { url }
  • admin /signup uses signup--split; /users stays catalog demo
v0.6.92026-08-31Released

Forgot-password split

  • saas and admin /forgot-password use the split variant
  • /reset-password stays the token form
v0.6.82026-08-31Released

Sign out on the gold path

  • Compact header gets the same action as an icon button
v0.6.72026-08-31Released

Password reset gold path

  • Request form switches to sent with the email the user typed
  • forgot-password--reset reads the token and sets the new password
  • Admin gets /forgot-password and /reset-password so split-login is not a 404
v0.6.62026-08-31Released

Signup split on saas

  • No social buttons, no 14-day trial copy
v0.6.52026-08-31Released

  • Shell layout redirects unsigned-in visitors after a real getSession
  • Middleware no longer bounces cookie-holders off /login
v0.6.42026-08-31Released

Members list on the gold path

create-cronus-app --template saas lists Better-Auth org members on /team. After invite accept, the invitee appears; another workspace does not.

  • saas /team emits MembersPanel scoped to the active org
  • Invite from the team page uses the same InviteMember as chrome
  • DashboardBlock, stats, and billing stay the catalog demo
v0.6.32026-08-31Released

  • saas and admin emit create/delete server actions scoped to the active org
  • ItemsPanel lists tenant data; DashboardBlock stays the catalog demo
  • Invitee sees the same items; a second workspace does not
v0.6.22026-08-31Released

Authenticated gold path

create-cronus-app --template saas signs up, creates a workspace, and accepts invites. SQLite + Drizzle + Better-Auth, chrome from the session.

  • saas and admin compose SQLite, Drizzle, Better-Auth, and protected shell
  • Login, signup, and forgot-password are real forms via auth-adapter
  • Signup creates a workspace; WorkspaceSwitcher and InviteDialog talk to Better-Auth
  • Invitee signs up from /accept-invitation and joins the same org
  • Compose records registry npm pins even with --no-install; drizzle-kit creates data/
v0.6.12026-08-30Released

Runnable stack, admin/docs, chrome

create-cronus-stack emits Drizzle + SQLite and Better-Auth; InviteDialog and WorkspaceSwitcher land in the app shell; admin and docs compose from idle blocks.

  • Next + Drizzle + SQLite is a real scaffold; Better-Auth rides the same Drizzle path
  • InviteDialog and WorkspaceSwitcher in @cronus-ui/ui, wired into app-shell-chrome
  • OSS compose templates admin and docs — not landing-docs
  • upgrade skill and the compose → add-page → theme → upgrade loop

  • Stack Builder Prompt badge for options the generator does not write
v0.6.02026-08-28Released

Looks, Neutral chrome, Cronus Pro

Material looks, Neutral landings, and an additive Pro origin — the engine stays OSS.

  • Looks: Default, Brutalist, Glass via data-cronus-look (Mauve is gone)
  • DESIGN.md taste file for agents (compact + extended, MCP get_design_context)
  • Charts catalog: AreaChart, LineChart, LiveLine, Bar, Composed, Candlestick, Funnel, Gauge, Pie, Ring, Radar, Scatter, Sankey, P/L, Choropleth, Sunburst, HeatmapChart
  • OSS and Pro landings share Neutral chrome; Aurora stays the generated-product flag
  • Cronus Pro at :4748 — mail, chat, finance pack, Maker/Studio list, not billed yet
  • compose -y with no template name composes saas, not lexicographic first
v0.5.02026-07-13Released

App generator matures

Block variants, a SaaS template, add-page, and shared demo-store / demo-saas libs — compose a product, then grow it one route at a time.

  • Installable block variants and a repeatable --variant flag on compose
  • create-cronus-app --template saas: app-shell chrome, dashboard, team, billing, settings, split login
  • cronus-ui add-page grows a composed app (blocks, nav, base snapshot, --dry-run)
  • Shared demo-store / demo-saas libs as registry:lib, installed transitively with add/compose
v0.4.02026-07-13Released

Cronus Compose

Generate a multi-page Next.js app from validated registry blocks. Every page is imports plus a <main> that stacks them.

  • cronus-ui compose <template> and create-cronus-app --template store|landing
  • Bundled store and landing manifests, --dry-run sitemap preview, .cronus-ui/ base snapshot
  • registry/meta.json sidecar and MCP search/list/get enriched from it
v0.3.02026-07-13Released

Optional peers, 17 blocks, 5 components

Heavy leaf libraries moved to optional peerDependencies of @cronus-ui/ui. CLI add still installs per-item deps. Catalog grew.

v0.2.02026-07-07Released

Stack Builder, generators, and release hardening

Promoted Stack Builder into the publishable package set, added app and stack generators, refreshed the homepage, and hardened the local v0.2 release path.

  • Nine publishables in lockstep: tokens, theme, UI, stack, AI Kit, CLI, create-cronus-app, create-cronus-stack, and MCP
  • Stack Builder docs, schema metadata, KICKOFF.md, stack.json, and create-cronus-stack scaffold output
  • Full package smoke coverage for runtime installs, installed bins, scaffold checks, and tarball dependency pins
v0.1.02026-06-23Released

Foundation component waves

Published the initial component catalog, token package, theme provider, registry generator, and showcase app.

  • Foundation, forms, overlays, navigation, data, display, and premium components
  • CLI registry generated from source components
  • Semantic token contract for runtime theming
NextNextPlanned

Registry app manifests and catalog-data reconciliation

Bundled app templates stay in-repo for now. Next is migrating them to registry:app and unifying remaining block mock data onto shared libs.

  • registry:app manifests for store, landing, saas, and named landing-* flavors
  • Catalog-data reconciliation for blocks still on divergent mocks

Release policy

Every visible change should include a short entry so teams know whether it is ready to use, still in development, or planned.

Component releases should mention docs, registry output, accessibility coverage, and migration notes when a change affects copied code or app-level setup.
