# Changelog

## Unreleased

- Growth extras, each with `--dry`, `--json`, tests on sanitized fixtures and a skill:
  - `prices ppp`: purchasing power price sheets from a bundled, dated World Bank ICP PPP dataset (CC BY 4.0,
    `tools/update-ppp.ts` refreshes it), the Big Mac index or a CSV; clamped, snapped to store price points, written
    in the `prices import` format with a diff.
  - `ads apple status | campaigns | report`: Apple Ads reports (spend, taps, installs, CPA per campaign / keyword,
    CSV export); `bid | budget | pause` are dry first and ask in a terminal, never over MCP.
  - `web init | check`: apple-app-site-association, assetlinks.json (Play app signing SHA-256, also read from the
    Play API with `--version-code`), the Smart App Banner tag and a minimal landing page; `web check` verifies the
    live files (content type, no redirects, JSON, ids match).
  - `apple adhoc devices | register | profile | options | export` (release-testing / ad-hoc ExportOptions.plist,
    devices with masked UDIDs, registration asks first) and `play share` (internal app sharing upload, prints the link).
  - `revenuecat diff | sync`: optional RevenueCat REST API v2 adapter for products, entitlements and the default
    offering; sync only creates and attaches, asks first, never over MCP.
  - `console fill <form>`: AI-assisted Playwright autofill for the App Store app record, age rating, App Privacy and
    the Play content rating and target audience forms. A visible Chromium with a profile the owner signs in to; it
    never types passwords and never clicks Save / Submit / Publish / Next; UI changes fall back to guidance. Desktop:
    "Fill in console" on the App info tab (dry run, native confirm, then the browser). Never over MCP.
  - New config: `prices.ppp`, `web`, `apple.teamId`, `apple.adhoc`, `revenuecat`, `console`. New MCP tools (safe
    parts only): `prices_ppp`, `web_init`, `web_check`, `apple_adhoc_devices`, `apple_adhoc_options`,
    `ads_apple_status`, `ads_apple_campaigns`, `ads_apple_report`, `revenuecat_diff`.
  - `apple appinfo` answers the new `socialMedia` / `socialMediaAgeRestricted` age rating questions with false
    unless `apple.info.ageRating` says otherwise.

- `storebound scan` on Google Play now matches the App Store side: rejections, blocked updates, suspensions and
  policy strikes that the project files can prove, each verified against the live Play Policy Center / Play Console
  Help page (cited with the date in `cli/lib/scan/play-rules.ts`). New rules: the restricted permissions and their
  Console declarations (background location, READ_MEDIA_IMAGES / READ_MEDIA_VIDEO, MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
  AccessibilityService with or without isAccessibilityTool, REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES, Health Connect,
  USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT, VpnService), prominent disclosure and the in-app privacy policy (User Data), Data safety
  answers narrower than the SDKs' disclosures, Families (`play.targetAges`: ad SDKs not on Google's self-certified list
  or older than their certified version, AD_ID and location in child-only apps, mixed audiences), the AD_ID permission
  on targetSdk 33+, 16 KB page sizes (Unity before 6000.0.38f1 / 2022.3.56f1 / 2021.3.48f1, React Native before 0.77,
  NDK before r28 without the flags, AGP before 8.5.1 with uncompressed libraries, prebuilt .so files; updates blocked
  from 2027-02-01), the closed-testing requirement of new personal accounts (`play.accountType`,
  `play.accountCreated`: 12 testers for 14 days), Play metadata (title over 30 characters, emoji, ALL CAPS, rank /
  price / promotion terms, other apps, repeated keywords and keyword lists), interstitials shown from the launcher
  activity's onCreate, card / PayPal SDKs or "buy on our website" next to in-app products (`play.billingPrograms`),
  and brand names in the package or app name (low). Detection reads activities, services and receivers with their
  intent filters, accessibility-service configs, strings.xml, the NDK / AGP versions, CMake / ndk-build files,
  extractNativeLibs, useLegacyPackaging, Unity ProjectVersion.txt, .so files, and the merged manifest under
  build/intermediates when the project was built locally. Device admin has no Play policy page and gets no rule. The
  App Store rules are unchanged. New fixtures (play-android, play-native, play-families, play-listing) and Android parts
  in the clean fixture; the README rule table has a column per store.
- `storebound scan` (MCP tool `scan`, desktop Checks tab): an offline, read-only scan of the project itself for App
  Store and Google Play rejection risks before you submit. Detects the stack (native iOS / Android, React Native,
  Expo, Capacitor, Cordova, Flutter, Unity, Godot) and the SDKs from a maintained table (`cli/lib/scan/sdks.ts`: ads,
  analytics, attribution, crash, sign-in, payments, push, with versions, file:line and each vendor's data disclosure
  page) and reports each risk with the guideline, evidence, fix, severity and skill: 2.1(a) demo account and
  placeholder text, 5.1.1(v) account deletion, 4.8 login services, 3.1.1 Restore Purchases and outside payments,
  3.1.2(c) subscription information, 5.1.2(i) App Tracking Transparency, 5.1.1(ii) / (iv) purpose strings, 5.1.1(i)
  privacy link, privacy manifests (ITMS-91053 / 91061), 2.3.10 other platforms, 2.3.7 keywords, 2.3.8 "For Kids", 4.2
  web wrappers, 2.5.1 UIWebView and private URL schemes, 2.5.5 IPv6, ATS, export compliance, 1.3 kids ads, 5.6.1 /
  3.2.2(x) review prompts, privacy labels vs SDKs, and on Play the API 36 target SDK requirement (since 2026-08-31),
  the delete-account URL, App access, foreground service types, exact alarms, QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES, SMS / call log and
  the reserved com.example package name. It also proposes the Data safety / App Privacy / ATT / privacy manifest
  answers, each "detected (file:line)" or "ask owner", as a diff against the config; `--write` adds only the detected
  answers (new `appPrivacy` block for tracking). `scan.ignore` records findings the owner accepts, with the reason.
  `validate` includes the open findings (`--no-scan` skips), `check` now asks for unanswered dataSafety booleans.
  Fixtures for iOS, Android, Capacitor, Unity, Flutter, a clean project and the teaser under `tests/fixtures/scan/`.
- CLI workspace for many apps and studios (until now only in the desktop app): `storebound.workspace.json` (or `.ts`)
  in a folder above the app folders names the app folders (globs), studios with their store accounts by credential
  profile (never a key), an ignore list and the desktop's pairing overrides. Commands: `ws init`, `ws list`,
  `ws status` (apps x stores, read in parallel with a concurrency limit), `ws check`, `ws validate`,
  `ws run <command> --apps a,b|--all` (read commands; writes as dry runs unless `--apply`; submit, release, rollout,
  send, start / stop never), `ws apps import --account <profile>` (store apps paired with the folders by the desktop's
  rules) and `ws desktop export | import` (the same model as the desktop's `state.json`; keys stay in the keychain or
  the profiles). MCP: `workspace_list`, `workspace_status` (read-only).
- Credential profiles: `~/.storebound/credentials/<profile>.json` (or env `STOREBOUND_PROFILE_<NAME>_<KEY>`), picked
  with `--account <profile>` on any command or by the workspace, so many store accounts work from one terminal.
- Release trains in the CLI: `release status` (both stores on one train per version: build > testing > review > live
  > rollout %) and `release plan <version>` (what is left on each store in fix order, from check, validate and the
  store state; owner steps named, never done), as tables or `--json`. MCP: `release_status`, `release_plan`.
- Shared code instead of copies: the pairing rules (`cli/lib/identity.ts`) and the release lanes (`cli/lib/train.ts`)
  moved out of the desktop's webview into `cli/lib/`, and the per-app status read behind `portfolio.status`
  (`cli/lib/app-status.ts`) is the one `ws status` and `release` use. The desktop re-exports them unchanged.
- Every endpoint: `storebound api` calls any operation of the App Store Connect API (1303 operations, OpenAPI 4.5.1)
  and the Google Play Developer APIs (Android Publisher v3: 145 methods, Play Developer Reporting v1beta1: 25; v1alpha1
  has no methods of its own), from the official specs pinned in `specs/` (URLs, dates, SHA-256 in
  `specs/SOURCES.json`). `tools/gen-api.ts` turns them into one row per operation (`cli/api/apple.gen.ts`,
  `cli/api/play.gen.ts`) plus generic helpers (`cli/api/client.ts`: URL and parameter building, retries on 429 / 5xx
  with Retry-After, `--all-pages` over Apple's `links.next` and Google's page tokens), typed from the rows
  (`cli/api/types.ts`: path and required parameters, loosely typed JSON:API requests and responses). About 44 KB more
  in the npm tarball. Same credentials as every other command (`ascJwt` is now shared from `cli/apple/asc.ts`).
  - `storebound api apple|play <operationId | METHOD path> [--param k=v ...] [--body file.json] [--upload file]
    [--out file] [--all-pages] [--json] [--dry] [--yes]`: GETs (and the read-only Reporting `:query` POSTs) run;
    every write prints the exact request and is only sent with `--yes` in an interactive terminal; owner-only
    operations (`cli/api/gate.ts`: deletes, submissions, releases, phased release changes, product page tests, prices,
    testers and users, review replies, Play `edits.commit`, activation, refunds, app signing) also need the operation
    id typed. Under MCP or the desktop app no write is sent at all.
  - `storebound api list [--store] [--search]` and `storebound api coverage`: every operation, counts per API and
    resource, and which ones storebound's commands already call (a scan of `cli/`, `cli/api/wrapped.gen.ts`); the full
    table is `docs/api-coverage.md`. CI fails when the tables, the scan or the doc are stale against `specs/`.
  - MCP: one new read-only tool, `api_get` (GET operations only; not in the desktop profile). New skill `store-api`.
- Signing through the App Store Connect API: `apple signing status` (read-only; also an MCP tool) and
  `apple signing ensure` (dry first, asks once). Bundle id capabilities from `apple.signing.capabilities` (added,
  never removed), an Apple Distribution certificate when this machine holds no key for a valid one (RSA 2048 key
  and CSR made in TypeScript, key kept 0600 in `.storebound/signing/`, never printed; `--keychain` imports key and
  certificate), App Store profiles per bundle id (app + `apple.signing.extraBundleIds`) reused while active or
  created, installed for Xcode 16+ (`~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning Profiles`) and older Xcode
  (`~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles`). A 403 on a Developer ID certificate is explained (Account Holder
  only), as are the certificate limit and a key without the Admin role.
- `apple build`: finds the workspace / project and scheme (native, Capacitor, React Native, Flutter with
  `flutter build ios --config-only`, Unity-iPhone), takes the next free build number from App Store Connect,
  writes ExportOptions.plist (`method` app-store-connect, `destination` export, team, signing style, profiles) and
  runs xcodebuild archive and -exportArchive with the API key; full logs in `build/ios/`, the IPA checked at the end.
- `apple upload`: the IPA through the App Store Connect API build upload (Build Uploads, API 4.1: reserve, upload
  parts, commit with the MD5, poll) or `--via altool` (`altool --upload-package` with the API key); the build number
  is checked against App Store Connect first, then storebound waits until the build is VALID (exit 0), INVALID /
  FAILED (1) or the timeout (7). Dry first, asks.
- `play build`: Gradle `bundleRelease` (Flutter: `flutter build appbundle`; Capacitor / React Native `android/`,
  Unity exports with `launcher/`) with the next free versionCode and the upload key from `ANDROID_KEYSTORE*` (env or
  `.storebound/credentials.json`), handed to Gradle as injected signing properties through the environment, never on
  the command line. The versionCode is read back from the AAB's manifest. `play upload --track internal|alpha|beta`:
  versionCode checked, `--dry` read-only, a real run asks; production stays `play release --production draft`.
- `originality --against <folders>` (also an MCP tool): offline Guideline 4.3 check against the owner's other apps:
  name and listing text similarity, icon and screenshot perceptual hashes (dHash + pHash; PNG decoded in TypeScript,
  JPEG / WebP through ffmpeg when installed), project structure (file layout, identical files), an overall score,
  near-duplicate flags and suggestions; exit 1 when a pair is flagged. The portfolio-originality skill uses it.
- New skill `build-and-sign`; appstore-first-release and play-first-release use the new commands. Zero new
  dependencies: plist (XML + binary), ZIP, aapt2 manifest and PNG readers are small TypeScript modules.
- Store operations. Every new command has `--dry` and `--json`; what customers can see, redeem or lose (submitting,
  codes, offers, pre-orders, expiring builds, making a page visible) asks first in the terminal and is not an MCP
  tool. API details come from the App Store Connect API 4.5.1 OpenAPI spec, Apple's and Google's reference pages and
  App Store Connect Help (cited at the top of each `cli/lib/*.ts`); tests run the commands against recorded,
  sanitized answers (`tests/store-ops-*.test.ts`, harness in `tests/helpers/store-mock.ts`).
  - TestFlight: `apple testflight wait --build N` (polls until VALID / FAILED, progress lines, `--timeout`, exit 0 /
    1 / 7) and `apple testflight expire --keep N | --older-than D` (newest, attached and processing builds stay;
    `PATCH /v1/builds/{id}` `expired: true`). `apple upload` waits for processing with the same loop
    (`waitForBuild` in `cli/apple/testflight.ts`) instead of a copy of its own.
  - `apple iap-submit`: IAP, subscription and subscription group versions into a review submission
    (`reviewSubmissionItems` with `inAppPurchaseVersion` / `subscriptionVersion` / `subscriptionGroupVersion`, API
    4.4.1+; the deprecated `inAppPurchaseSubmissions` are not used). It applies Apple's rules: the first item of each
    type only together with a new app version (`--with-version`), later ones alone once the app has an approved
    version, a new subscription with its unapproved group, at most 200 items; `--no-submit` stops at the draft,
    `--new-version` makes a new draft version of an approved or rejected product. MCP: the read-only plan
    `apple_iap_review_plan`.
  - Pulls: `apple listing pull`, `play listing pull` (live texts back into `store/*.md`, diff first, `--write` to
    write) and `catalog pull` (IAP and subscription texts as a proposal diff; the config is never rewritten,
    `--write` saves `.storebound/pull/catalog.json`).
  - `whats-new --languages a,b,c`: one file per language in `store/whats-new/`, translated by your agent (skill) or a
    `--translate "<command>"` hook of yours (no translation service or key in the CLI); `whats-new check` (Play 500,
    App Store 4000, untranslated or identical to the source) and `whats-new apply`.
  - Offers: `apple offer-codes` (offer codes for one-time purchases, `inAppPurchaseOfferCodes`; custom and one-time-use
    codes only with `--codes`, saved to `.storebound/offer-codes/`), `apple win-back` (win-back offers,
    `winBackOffers`), `apple promoted` (promoted purchases: create disabled, order, `--enable`), `apple preorder
    status | enable | end` (territory availabilities, `endAppAvailabilityPreOrders`). Google Play pre-registration and
    promo codes have no API: console guide in the new `app-store-promotion` skill.
  - `apple cpp list | create | upload | submit | visible` (custom product pages, screenshots from a shots variant) and
    `apple events list | create | upload | submit` (in-app events with schedule, localizations, card and details
    images checked against Apple's sizes).
  - `reports apple-sales | apple-finance | play-earnings | play-sales`: Apple `salesReports` / `financeReports`
    (vendor number from `ASC_VENDOR_NUMBER` in env or `.storebound/credentials.json`) and the Play earnings / sales
    zips from the reports bucket into `.storebound/reports/`, with a summary per product and currency and a CSV.
    Zero dependencies: the same small ZIP reader (`cli/lib/zip.ts`, on `node:zlib`) that reads IPAs and AABs.
  - `triage`: TestFlight crash reports (signature from each crash log, text and `.ips`), TestFlight screenshot feedback
    and Play error reports of the top issues, grouped by signature with devices, OS versions and builds; tester emails
    are never requested.
  - `aso rank`: the app's rank per keyword and storefront in the public iTunes Search API results plus the first
    competitors, one request every 3.5 s (Apple allows about 20 a minute), snapshots in `.storebound/aso/`. Subtitles
    are not in any public API and are not shown.
  - `ads scan --ios <path>`: AdAttributionKit / SKAdNetwork checks of Info.plist and sources (ad network ids and their
    case, `AttributionCopyEndpoint`, re-engagement copies, `NSAdvertisingAttributionReportEndpoint`, attribution
    windows and cooldown ranges, conversion value updates); the ads-mediation-checks skill explains each finding.
  - New MCP tools (dry by default where they write local files): `apple_testflight_wait`, `apple_iap_review_plan`,
    `apple_listing_pull`, `play_listing_pull`, `catalog_pull`, `whats_new_languages`, `whats_new_check`,
    `whats_new_apply`, `reports`, `triage`, `aso_rank`, `ads_scan`, `apple_cpp_list | create | upload`,
    `apple_events_list | create | upload`, `apple_preorder_status`.

- New logo: a glossy indigo box with an upward arrow (`brand/master/logo-mark.png`, `brand/README.md`). Every logo
  file comes from it through `tools/brand-assets.py`: desktop app icons (PNG sizes, `.icns`, a `.ico` with its own
  image per size, Windows tiles), the site's favicon.ico, maskable web app icons with a manifest, apple-touch-icon,
  the header and footer marks (PNG next to the text wordmark), the desktop window's mark and `site/og.png`. Below
  48 px a bold "s" monogram on the same tile. The old hand-written SVG mark and `site/favicon.svg` are gone, and the
  no-hand-written-SVG guard no longer has a brand exception.
- Desktop: the signed release showed only its background colour and never started the sidecar. Cause: Tauri's
  `freezePrototype` freezes `Object.prototype` before the bundle runs, and d3-color / d3-format (under the visx charts)
  assign `constructor` / `toString` on plain objects while loading, which throws on a frozen prototype; the bundle
  stopped before React drew anything. Saved state was not the cause. A Vite plugin (`apps/desktop/build/freeze-safe.ts`)
  makes those assignments safe. So the window is never blank again: error boundaries for the whole window and each
  screen and tab (Copy details, Reload, Reset saved state with a backup), `public/boot.js` for a bundle that fails to
  load, `logs/host.log` and `logs/webview.log` in the app data folder (rotated, home as `~`, no keys or e-mail
  addresses), a versioned `state.json` with an explicit migration from the D1-D3 format (original kept as
  `state.json.v1.bak`; broken entries dropped one by one), "Folder not found" with Locate… / Remove for app folders
  that are gone, and a boot check in CI and the macOS release (`tools/desktop-boot-check.ts`: the built window with the
  release CSP and the frozen prototype on empty, D1 and D3 saved states).

- Icons: Phosphor replaces lucide (desktop: `@phosphor-icons/react` per-icon imports, "regular" weight, "fill" for the
  active nav item and notices; site and fixture art: Phosphor's own files). Store marks are now the real App Store and
  Google Play logos from simple-icons, in the neutral text colour next to the store's name; the trademark note is in
  docs/desktop.md and the site footer. The no-hand-written-SVG guard allows only the vendored files, byte-equal to
  their packages.

- Fixes from a guarded read-only run of the Play paths that need POST / DELETE (edit insert and delete, Reporting API
  `:query`, nothing else let through) against a live account:
  - `health` / `validate`: Play's top issues search (`errorIssues:search`) answered 400 "Unsupported timezone": it
    takes only hour-aligned UTC intervals, unlike the metric timelines (America/Los_Angeles days). It now asks in UTC.
    A failing issues search no longer throws away the crash and ANR rates already read (a `vitals-issues` warning and
    "not read" in the table instead of "vitals not readable"), and Reporting API errors leave out the query string so
    the reason is not cut off in tables.
  - `play listing --dry` and `play images --dry` are read-only now: one throwaway edit, the current details,
    listings and images (sha256 of each uploaded file) compared with the local copy, the edit deleted. Before, the
    dry runs wrote into the edit (PUT details and listings; for images every image set cleared and uploaded) and
    called `:validate` before discarding it. The output says per language what would change.
  - `play products --dry` names what a run would change per product (listings added / changed / removed, regional
    prices old -> new, dropped regions, activation) instead of "update · 174 regions" for every existing product.
  - `play products` asks before changing what an existing product costs or where it is sold (regional prices, the
    other-regions price, dropped regions, activating a purchase option), the same way `play subscriptions` does: the
    diff, then a terminal confirmation (or `--yes`). Without one (MCP, CI, serve without a desktop owner-action token)
    those changes are skipped with a warning; new products and listing text still go through. `apple iap` and
    `apple appinfo` only create a price schedule or availability where none exists, so they need no gate; price
    changes on both stores stay with `prices import` (confirmation, the desktop Prices "Apply" owner action).
  - `play status`, `play next-version-code`: the read-only edit goes through one helper that always deletes it and
    warns when the delete fails; `next-version-code` counts distinct version codes (one code on two tracks is one).

- Fixes from a second read-only run (GET only) of the desktop read paths against live accounts: `analytics snapshot`
  no longer writes a snapshot when every store failed (no ONGOING report request yet, no `play.reportsBucket`); it
  exits with both reasons, so the desktop dry run shows them. `analytics compare --json` adds `errors` (why a store has
  no days), and the Growth tab shows that reason instead of zero totals and "one day of data". Listing completeness
  no longer counts a contact sheet in the language folder as a screenshot. Price sheet round trip (export, then
  compare) checked on recorded App Store and Play price answers (`tests/desktop-real-reads.test.ts`).

- Growth tab chart: impressions, downloads and conversion are drawn as an index (100 = each line's own average over
  the days shown) on one axis, so downloads no longer lie flat under impressions; hover still shows the real numbers.

- **`storebound import fastlane`** (`--dir`, `--out`, `--profile`, `--dry`; MCP `import_fastlane`, dry run by default):
  reads Appfile / Deliverfile (plain `key("value")` lines only; Ruby logic is reported, never run), deliver and supply
  metadata and screenshots, and writes `storebound.config.ts`, `store/appstore.md`, `store/listing.md`, the Play icon
  and feature graphics, and screenshot frames with a `folder` capture source. App Store and Play language codes are
  paired into one `languages[]` entry (`cli/lib/store-locales.ts`). Existing files are never overwritten (a
  `<name>.imported.<ext>` copy plus a diff hint). Keys, team ids, the App Review contact and demo account are only
  named in the report; submission flags, `price_tier`, the age rating config, lanes and signing are listed with their
  storebound counterpart. New skill `migrate-from-fastlane`.

- Store language codes checked against the official lists (2026-10-11): the 50 App Store Connect locale shortcodes
  and the 86 Google Play listing codes all match; Zulu (`zu`) is no longer a Play listing language and was dropped;
  `import fastlane` also accepts region-less folders of the 2025 App Store languages (`ta`, `sl`, `ur`, ...) and
  App Store spellings in Play folders (`pa-IN`, `ur-PK`, `sl-SI`, ...). Sources are cited in `cli/lib/store-locales.ts`.

- Fixes from a read-only run against live store accounts: `apps check` says `api-disabled` (not `permission`) when the
  Play Developer Reporting API is off, and `apps list` / serve `apps.list` fail with that reason and the fix instead of
  a JSON fragment (API error bodies are kept on one line everywhere); the newest App Store version is the newest by
  date (the API groups versions by platform), per-app reads run four at a time; the account check counts every app
  of the team; Play prices under 1.00 (no `units` in the answer) no longer read as NaN in `catalog diff` and
  subscription price diffs; `health` treats App Store Connect's 404 for builds without field data as no diagnostics;
  `validate` no longer blocks on age rating fields accepted submissions leave empty (`gracRatingClassificationNumber`,
  `socialMediaAgeRestricted` unless social media is yes; `socialMedia` is a warning).
- **Desktop D5: release pipeline.** The desktop app is a separate signed download from storebound.dev/desktop/ (DMG,
  Windows installer, AppImage / deb) that updates itself; the npm package stays the CLI, MCP server and skills.
  `storebound desktop` opens the app (in an app folder it adds or selects that folder through
  `storebound://open?path=`, after the app's own dialog) or prints the download for this system; `--download` saves
  it to ~/Downloads after checking its SHA-256 and minisign signature, and never installs. One desktop version
  (`desktopVersion` in package.json, checked in CI), a privacy scan of every artifact (`tools/privacy-scan.ts`),
  path-free builds, `tools/desktop-release.ts` (universal macOS app + DMG, Developer ID + notarization when the
  certificate exists, otherwise an ad-hoc `-unsigned` preview; self-test of the exact artifacts; signed latest.json),
  a Forgejo workflow for Linux and Windows, the root-owned publish step on the server and a downloads page
  (`site/desktop/`). Settings > Updates checks and installs signed updates on request. See `docs/desktop-release.md`.

- **Desktop machine interface** (`serve --stdio`): JSON-RPC session for the coming desktop app, built on the MCP core.
  Typed methods with argument schemas, structured results, progress notifications, cancellation, `project.inspect`
  and `portfolio.status`: apps across iOS and Android with identity, config check, release trains (current and next
  version on both stores) and catalog parity (`live` reads App Store and Play status). `system.tools` reports ffmpeg,
  Chrome, Xcode tools, simctl, adb and git with versions; `STOREBOUND_TOOL_PATH` / `STOREBOUND_CHROME` point the CLI
  at app-managed copies. Writes are dry runs unless the host
  sends a single-use confirm token bound to the method, arguments and a short expiry (HMAC with a per-session secret
  handed over on stdin). No submit / release / publish method exists. Under `serve`, terminal confirmations always
  answer no.
- `--json` on `check` (and `check --aso`), `apple testflight status`, `apple ppo status`, `apple next-build`,
  `play next-version-code`, `analytics compare` and `prices import` (read-only diff); new `inspect` command.
- **Desktop app shell** (`apps/desktop`, not released yet): Tauri 2 + React 19, app-centric (Portfolio, App with
  Releases / Catalog / Listings / Health / Reviews / TestFlight, App folders, Accounts, Dependencies, Settings), store
  keys in the OS keychain, native confirm dialogs with the dry run before any write. See `docs/desktop.md`.
- `--json` on `catalog diff` goes through the same machine-readable result line.
- **`storebound doctor`** (`--json`): ffmpeg, ffprobe, Chrome, playwright, Xcode tools, simctl, adb and git with
  versions (the same detection as the desktop Dependencies screen) and the install commands for this OS. It runs none.
- `playwright` is an optional peer dependency (it was only documented before). The compiled desktop sidecar bundles
  `playwright-core` and renders with the app's Chrome for Testing (`STOREBOUND_CHROME`), so desktop users need neither.
- `inspect --icon` / `inspect --listings` (listing completeness per language on both stores, rendered screenshots),
  `reviews drafts [--json]` (local reply drafts with the send checks), `reviews approve <draft> [--undo] [--dry]`,
  `init --dry`; templates are embedded so `init` works from a single-file binary.
- `apple status --json` includes the phased release of the newest live versions; release trains now count a staged
  rollout or iOS phased release (also halted / paused) as the current train.
- **Desktop D2** (`apps/desktop`): redesigned shell (command palette, toasts with progress and cancel, skeletons,
  illustrated empty states, first-run guide), release timeline per app, catalog parity matrix, listing completeness,
  health sparklines against the Play thresholds, reviews inbox with star distribution and draft approval, TestFlight
  groups and builds, store readiness with fix hints; offline cache of the last reads (SQLite, "last read" stamps);
  one-click ffmpeg (pinned SHA-256) and Chrome for Testing (Google's code signature) downloads into app data;
  English and Turkish with an i18n check, 7:1 text contrast checked in both themes.

  re-signed ad hoc on macOS and checked for build-machine paths. The MCP server now also runs from such a binary.

## 0.5.0 · 2026-10-11

Apps and games: storebound is for every mobile app, not only games, and the in-app catalog is complete on both stores.

- **Positioning**: "Take a mobile app or game from nothing to Submit for review on Google Play and the App Store"
  across the README, the site (new "Apps and games" section, app screenshot style, og image), package, plugin and
  adapter descriptions, CLI help, MCP server instructions and the skills. Game-specific advice stays, marked for games.
- **`init --profile app|game|subscription-app`** (default `app`): per profile a config, `declarations.md`,
  `app-privacy.md`, the Data safety section, listing and screenshot copy and a privacy policy. app = utility /
  productivity app with an optional account and analytics, no ads; subscription-app = accounts + auto-renewable
  subscriptions with the disclosure text; game = the 0.4 templates. Every answer is flagged "edit to match your app".
  Configs without `app.profile` keep working as games.
- **App screenshot style** (`shots.style: 'app'`, the default for the app profiles): calm gradient, a clean device frame,
  headline + subline, no sparkles or badges (badges only as quiet chips), status bar text that follows the frame, Inter
  by default, app palettes (mist, paper, mint, sand, rose, sky, ocean, slate), its own feature graphic. Game style
  unchanged. New demo `examples/demo-app` ("Tidy Lists").
- **App identity**: `app.platforms` (default from the `apple` / `play` sections) and `platforms` on a product or
  subscription to sell it on one store only; one shared catalog and shared listings, per-platform settings in
  `apple` / `play`.
- **Subscriptions on both stores**: `apple subscriptions` (groups and display names, subscriptions with period, level,
  family sharing, localizations, availability, prices from the USA price point and its equalizations plus overrides
  and `--csv` rows of the prices sheet incl. scheduled changes, introductory offers per territory, promotional offers,
  offer code campaigns, custom codes only with `--codes` after a terminal confirmation, review screenshots) and
  `play subscriptions` (listings with benefits, one auto-renewing base plan with grace period and regional prices from
  `convertRegionPrices`, overrides and CSV, activation, the intro offer for new subscribers and extra offers chosen by
  your app through offer tags). Both print a plan, `--dry` stops there, a terminal run asks first; without a terminal
  (MCP) only new records are created and live price changes wait for the owner. Skill `store-subscriptions`.
- **Full IAP catalog**: product type `non_renewing` (Apple NON_RENEWING_SUBSCRIPTION; a consumed one-time product on
  Play), and **`catalog diff`**: the config's products and subscriptions against both stores (missing, extra, type,
  billing period, level, US and override prices, localizations, offers) plus regions where the two stores price the
  same item differently (same currency, `--threshold`). Read-only, exit 1 on mismatches.
- **Review access**: `apple review-details` sends `demoAccountRequired` / `demoAccountName` / `demoAccountPassword`
  from `reviewDemoAccount` in `.storebound/credentials.json` (or `REVIEW_DEMO_USER` / `REVIEW_DEMO_PASSWORD`), masked
  in every log line, and adds the sign-in steps (`reviewAccess.instructions`) and where account deletion is
  (`accounts.inApp`) to the notes (4000-byte check). Skill `review-access`.
- **Account deletion**: `accounts { enabled, deletionUrl, inApp }`; skill `account-deletion` (Apple 5.1.1(v), Play's
  in-app + web requirement and Data safety). `dataSafety.extra` adds CSV rows for questions Google does not document
  (e.g. the delete-account URL id from a Console export).
- **Checks**: `check` reports the profile (delete-account URL, Data safety consistent with accounts, demo account
  present, terms URL with subscriptions, subscription review screenshots); `validate` adds subscription states,
  localizations, group names and review screenshots (App Store), active base plans (Play), the delete-account and
  terms URLs answering, the demo account on App Review and a Terms of Use link in the descriptions.
- **Ad mediation**: `ads-levelplay-checks` became `ads-mediation-checks` (AdMob Ad Inspector, AppLovin MAX Mediation
  Debugger, LevelPlay as a section, app-ads.txt, SKAdNetwork); the old name stays as a pointer skill.
- **MCP tools**: `apple_subscriptions`, `play_subscriptions` (dry run by default), `catalog_diff` (read-only). Custom
  offer codes and live price changes are not reachable through MCP.
- Unverified until a live account run (see the README): free promotional offers / offer codes without a price point,
  inline subscription prices and intro offers via `PATCH /v1/subscriptions/{id}`, Play relative-discount and untargeted
  offers, the Play billing period strings and the undocumented Data safety ids.

## 0.4.0 · 2026-10-10

Wave 2: TestFlight and life after launch (stability, reviews, prices, analytics, experiments), plus MCP 2026-07-28.

- **TestFlight through the API** (`apple testflight status | groups | testers | what-to-test | info | distribute`):
  beta groups from `apple.testflight.groups` (internal / external, public links; created when missing, never changed
  or deleted), testers from a CSV in `.storebound/` (the config refuses a path outside it; emails masked in every log
  line; asks before Apple emails invitations; `--remove`, `--invite`), "What to Test" per locale from the App Store
  listing (`### whatToTest`, else the `whats-new` notes), Test Information and Beta App Review contact / notes, a build
  by its exact number to groups, Beta App Review submission behind `--submit-review` and a confirmation. Skill
  `testflight`.
- **Crash and vitals health** (`health [--weekly]`): Play Developer Reporting API (user-perceived crash and ANR rates,
  28-day user-weighted, worst device models, top error issues) and App Store power and performance metrics,
  diagnostic signatures and TestFlight crash reports. Play's bad behavior thresholds (1.09 % crash, 0.47 % ANR, 8 % per
  device, developer.android.com/topic/performance/vitals): over = blocker, from 80 % = warn, also in `validate`
  (`--no-health`). Weekly Markdown report with week-over-week change in `.storebound/health/`. Skill `store-health`.
- **Review replies** (`reviews list | draft | send`): App Store customer reviews / responses and Play reviews; drafts
  as Markdown in `.storebound/replies/` (never overwritten), `send` only sends drafts with `approved: true` after a
  confirmation and refuses incentives, rating requests and Play replies over 350 characters. Skill `review-replies`.
- **Price sheet** (`prices export | import`): one CSV of product x store x region; diff table first, then (after a
  confirmation) one App Store price schedule per changed product (base territory, every manual price, future-dated
  changes with `start_date`) and the Play purchase option's regional prices (`convertRegionPrices` for regions without
  a price, `--reconvert`). `store-iap-setup` skill: price sheet section.
- **Analytics snapshots** (`analytics setup | snapshot | compare`): App Store Analytics Reports API (Discovery and
  Engagement + Downloads, md5-checked segments, newest processing per day) and the Play statistics exports in the
  `pubsite_prod_rev_` bucket (`play.reportsBucket`); snapshots in `.storebound/analytics/`, `compare` lines them up
  with the git history of the store files. Skill `store-analytics`.
- **MCP 2026-07-28**: stateless requests with per-request `_meta` and `server/discover` (supported versions,
  capabilities, instructions; `resultType`, server info in every result's `_meta`, cacheable `tools/list`, -32022 for
  unsupported versions); `initialize` clients (2025-11-25 and older) keep working on the same process.
- **Product Page Optimization through the API** (`apple ppo status | create | upload | start | stop`): v2 tests with
  one treatment per `shots` variant, a localization per locale and the variant renders in the treatment screenshot
  sets; start / stop ask first. Play store listing experiments stay console-only (documented).
- **`iphone-medium` size key** (1206 x 2622, `APP_IPHONE_61`), off by default; `apple.iphoneMedium: true` renders,
  checks and uploads it. Apple scales the 6.5" set down when it is missing.
- **MCP tools**: `apple_testflight_status`, `apple_testflight_groups`, `apple_testflight_what_to_test`,
  `apple_testflight_info`, `apple_testflight_distribute` (internal groups only), `health`, `health_report`,
  `reviews_list`, `reviews_draft`, `prices_diff`, `prices_export`, `analytics_snapshot`, `analytics_compare`,
  `analytics_setup`, `apple_ppo_status`, `apple_ppo_create`, `apple_ppo_upload`. Not exposed: tester changes and
  invitations, external distribution and Beta App Review, sending replies, applying prices, starting / stopping tests.
- Agent rules: owner-only steps now include review replies, tester invitations, price changes and experiments; personal
  data (tester lists, reply drafts, health and analytics files) stays in `.storebound/`.
- `apple screenshots --dry` no longer creates empty screenshot sets.

## 0.3.1 · 2026-10-10

Positioning: storebound is the whole road from zero to "Submit for review", screenshots are one step of it.

- **README** rebuilt around the end-to-end journey: a new diagram (`docs/img/journey.svg`) and a step table for both
  stores showing what storebound does through the APIs, what the skills walk your agent through in the consoles
  (IARC, target audience, ads, advertising ID, App Privacy, app records, the first Play production send) and what
  stays your own click (Send for review / Submit for Review, releases). "API or console, honestly" summary, a new FAQ
  ("Does it fill the questionnaires?"), quick start along the journey with the npm package, skills in journey order;
  the screenshot and video showcase moved to a "Store art" section.
- Package, plugin, Codex, Gemini and marketplace descriptions follow the new positioning.
- `package.json` `bin` path normalised (`cli/index.ts`), so npm keeps the `storebound` command.

## 0.3.0 · 2026-10-10

Screenshots and videos from any engine, reviewed before they leave your machine.

- **Capture from anything** (`shots capture --source`): `web` (Playwright, unchanged), `ios-sim` (simctl boot, 9:41
  status bar, launch arguments / deep links, `-AppleLanguages`, warm-up after a cold boot, shuts down only what it
  booted), `android-emu` (demo-mode status bar, per-app language, `am start` with deep links / extras, screencap; never
  boots, wipes or reboots), `folder` (your own frames, checked for aspect and size). Status bar cropped per device
  class. `--dry` prints every simctl / adb command.
- **13" iPad** end to end with `apple.ipad: true`: `ipad13` size (2064 x 2752, 3:4 layout), iPad frame defaults, the
  `APP_IPAD_PRO_3GEN_129` set in `apple screenshots`, required by `validate`.
- **Store rules as data** (`cli/shots/spec.ts`, sources cited): pixel sizes per store type, alpha, Play JPEG / 24-bit
  PNG and 8 MB, counts per set, feature graphic, app preview rules. Used by the new `shots check` (local, exit 1 on
  errors, `--variants`, `--json`) and by `validate` (local renders become blockers next to the store state).
- **`shots gallery`**: one self-contained `index.html` next to the renders (no network): every language x size x
  scene, app previews with posters, variant tabs, filters, light / dark, issues outlined with their message.
- **A/B variants**: `shots.variants` (scene order / subset, copy overrides, palettes) rendered with
  `shots render --variant b | --variants`, the feature graphic included; `--variant` on `play images`,
  `apple screenshots` and `shots jpeg`. The skill explains Play store listing experiments and App Store Product Page
  Optimization and what stays manual there.
- **App previews and promo video**: `shots record` (web via Chromium screencast, `simctl io recordVideo`, `adb
  screenrecord`, or a folder of clips), `shots video` (886 x 1920 iPhone, 1200 x 1600 iPad, YouTube 9:16 / 16:9,
  captions from the screenshot copy in every script, silent or music track, poster, ffprobe checks),
  `apple previews` (preview sets per locale, MD5-idempotent, poster frame time code, files checked before upload),
  `play listing` sends `play.video` (Play takes a YouTube URL, no upload).
- Contact sheet packed into a grid; Play 7" / 10" tablets drawn in an Android tablet body.
- **MCP**: `shots_check` (read-only), `shots_capture`, `shots_render`, `shots_gallery`, `shots_record`, `shots_video`
  (local files, dry run by default), `apple_previews` (dry run by default); `variant` on the upload tools.
- **Skills**: new `app-previews`; `store-screenshots` covers sources, iPad, checks, gallery, variants, experiments and
  the iPhone display class Apple now marks as required (6.9" stays the default, scaled down by Apple).
- **Demo game** `examples/demo-game/` ("Prism Puddle", fictional, procedural art) that storebound renders for the
  showcase in this README; `--dry` on `shots render`, `shots video`, `shots gallery`.
- README rewritten; `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `SECURITY.md`. Playwright stays a dev dependency; runtime dependencies stay 0.

## 0.2.0 · 2026-10-10

Works with any AI coding tool now, plus the release and review side of shipping.

- **One source, many tools**: skills stay plain Agent Skills (`name` + `description` only); `tools/gen-adapters.ts`
  writes the Claude Code plugin + `.mcp.json`, Codex plugin, Gemini CLI extension + `GEMINI.md`, `AGENTS.md`,
  `.github/copilot-instructions.md` and a Cursor rule. CI fails when they are stale. Shared agent rules in
  `docs/agents-core.md`.
- **`storebound mcp`**: stdio MCP server (2025-11-25), one tool per command, write tools dry run by default, nothing
  public or irreversible exposed. No SDK, still zero runtime dependencies.
- **`storebound install --agent claude|codex|cursor|copilot|windsurf|gemini|opencode`**: skills + MCP entry into a
  game project, idempotent, never touches other entries, `--dry`.
- New commands: `validate` (read-only readiness report for both stores, ordered blockers, exit 1),
  `apple release --phased on|pause|resume|complete` and `--manual-release`, `apple status --wait-review`
  (exit 0 / 1 / 7), `apple next-build`, `apple encryption`, `play rollout --fraction|--halt|--resume|--complete`,
  `play next-version-code`, `check --aso`, `whats-new --since <tag>`, `privacy-manifest --ios <path>`, `version`.
- New skills: review-rejections, portfolio-originality, release-management, store-preflight, privacy-manifest,
  export-compliance, aso-basics, whats-new.
- Updated skills: select builds by explicit number, first availability record UI fallback, phased + manual release
  by default, IAP versions in review submissions (API 4.4.1, reported, verify), privacy manifest cross-links, tool-neutral
  CLI instructions.
- Fix: Apple IAP description limit is 45 characters (App Store Connect Help), not 55.
- Config: `apple.usesNonExemptEncryption`, `apple.screenshotTypes`, `ads.appAdsTxt`.
- `bun run ci`: adapters check, tests, typecheck, secrets / personal data scrub.

## 0.1.0 · 2026-10-10

First public cut, extracted from the scripts I used to ship my own game.

- `storebound` CLI: `init`, `check`; Play `products`, `listing`, `images`, `data-safety`, `release`, `status`;
  App Store `bundle`, `iap`, `iap-review`, `listing`, `screenshots`, `appinfo`, `review-details`, `status`
  (incl. canceling a review submission); `icons`; `shots capture | fonts | render | jpeg`.
- Per-project `storebound.config.ts`; credentials only from env or `.storebound/credentials.json`.
- Claude Code plugin + marketplace with 8 skills: play-first-release, appstore-first-release, store-iap-setup,
  store-screenshots, app-icons, store-declarations, privacy-policy, ads-levelplay-checks.
- Templates: config, Play + App Store listing copy, screenshot copy (5 languages incl. Arabic + Japanese), Data
  safety CSV, App Privacy answers, Play declarations, studio-wide privacy policy page.
- Tests for config validation, copy parsing, Data safety CSV, price mapping, script fonts, args.
