## Fixes & improvements
### Model picker
- Removed the "Seedance 2.5 - SOON" placeholder from the video model
picker; it was confusing now that Seedance 2.5 Preview is live.
### "Not all media files could be found" error
- Fixed generations failing when the same media file ended up twice in
one reference list (e.g. added as two references, or the same file
uploaded twice).
- Requests now automatically drop duplicate media references before
sending - applies to image, video, audio, mesh, and splat generation on
both the web app and the desktop app.
### Gallery picker UX
- Media already added to a slot is now greyed out with an "Added" badge
in the library picker, so the same file can't be added twice to the same
field.
- Applies per slot across the create pages (video, image, audio, 3D
object, world) on web and desktop - references, start frame, end frame,
video refs, audio refs, and multi-view slots.
- Reusing the same image across different slots (e.g. start *and* end
frame, or two 3D views) is still allowed.
## Changes
**Batch download**
- Add multi-select mode to the create-video results feed (webapp +
desktop) with a "Select" toggle in the topbar, checkboxes on completed
items, and a floating download bar
- Webapp: "Download" bundles selected videos into a single .zip
client-side (new jszip dependency, concurrent fetches, progress and
partial-failure toasts)
- Desktop: "Download" prompts for a folder and saves each selected video
as its own file via native Tauri save, with progress toasts
- Library: add a Download (zip) button to the existing bulk selection
bar
- Shared `ui-generation-list` lib gains a selection store, select
toggle, action bar, and optional selection props on the grid/list views
(existing hosts unaffected)
**Credits refresh on failed generations**
- Webapp: dispatch a credits refresh when the task queue or generation
feed observes a newly failed job (immediately and again after 2.5s so
server-side refunds settle)
- Desktop: also refresh credits when the 5s task poll discovers a
failure that the push event missed, and listen for `credits-change` in
the TopBar
**UI fixes**
- Selection download bar always sits above the promptbox regardless of
its size
- Mobile Generate/History header no longer overlaps the gallery toggles
(flex layout instead of absolute positioning)
- Reference deck top-aligns in the expanded prompt box instead of
centering
- "Play videos with sound" setting now defaults to on
Users reported that after using **Recreate**, pressing the generate
arrow did nothing at all (no error, no card, no spinner). Root cause:
several failure paths gave zero feedback, so a rejected request looked
like a dead button or an outage.
### Changes
- **Show real error messages.** The API layer now keeps the server's
error message (e.g. "Image is required") instead of throwing it away, so
users see why a generation was rejected.
- **Toast on every failed submit.** Image and video pages (webapp +
website) now show an error toast when a generation fails to start.
Previously, most failures were recorded invisibly and never shown.
- **Out of credits feedback on the website.** 402 responses now show a
toast (webapp keeps its upgrade modal).
- **Network errors are announced** instead of failing silently.
- **No more silent submit blocks.** Cases that used to quietly ignore
the click now explain themselves:
- Model list still loading
- Model needs a starting image (website; also un-disabled the button so
clicking gives feedback)
- **Recreate model fallback is announced.** If the original generation's
model is no longer available, recreate now tells the user it switched to
the default model instead of silently swapping.
Deletes dormant legacy API surface (zero live callers, verified against
the full backend route table):
- VoiceDesignerApi, VoiceConversionApi, AnalyticsApi
(/v1/analytics/log_session was never registered) - both @storyteller/api
and the Tauri app's ApiManager copies, plus their tests
- PromptsApi/EngineApi: /v1/image_studio/prompt,
/v1/image_studio/session_jobs, /v1/jobs/session/{token} methods (routes
do not exist)
- UserBookmarksApi: broken-path list methods (/list/{user} and
/list/{et}/{etok}; backend shapes are /list/user/{u} and
/list/entity/{et}/{etok}) and the FakeYou-era scoped enums that only
they consumed
- Dashboard UsersApi: RequestPasswordReset/ResetPassword pointing at
removed /v1/request_password_reset + /v1/reset_password (live pages use
PasswordResetApi -> /v1/password_reset/* correctly)
Fixes WeightsApi cover-image path to the registered route:
/v1/weights/weight/{token}/cover_image (both copies).
Adds two new create pages for 3D generation, 3D Object (meshes) and 3D
World (gaussian splats), wired up to the new omni-gen mesh/splat
endpoints, plus the navigation, icons, and polish to go with them.
### New create pages
- 3D Object (`/create-object`): turn a prompt or image into a 3D model.
- 3D World (`/create-world`): turn a prompt or image into an explorable
world.
- Both mirror the existing Create Image/Video experience: prompt box
with model selector and per-model options in the bottom bar, and a live
feed of in-progress, completed, and failed generations.
- Options adapt to the selected model, e.g. output type, polygon type,
geometry/texture quality, face count, PBR and texture toggles,
multi-view reference angles (front/back/left/right), mesh-file input,
reference image/video, panorama, and prompt-only where supported.
- Multi-view and reference slots support the same Upload /
Pick-from-library flow (desktop hover and mobile) as the image rows.
- Completed cards show the model's cover screenshot; clicking one opens
it in the interactive 3D viewer.
### Navigation and discovery
- Sidebar reorganized into two groups: Create (Image, Video, Audio, 3D
Object, 3D World) and a new Studio group (Edit Image, Edit 3D, Edit
Video, BG Change, Moodboard).
- Added 3D Object and 3D World cards to the Home page.
- Added breadcrumbs for the new pages.
- Added a My Library button to the top bar, next to the credits and
task-queue chips.
### Model icons
- Restored the Hunyuan (Tencent) and World Labs provider icons.
- Added Tripo, Meshy, and Rodin (Hyper3D) icons.
- Applied to both the webapp and desktop app.
### Fixes and polish
- Fixed the 3D-model icons showing a generic placeholder (missing cyan
color plus creator mappings).
- Fixed the Upload / Pick-from-library hover popover being clipped
inside glass panels.
- Reference-image rows in the 3D pages now align their fields to the
right with the title on the left, matching the other create pages.
- Prevented 3D-model cover screenshots from showing up as their own "3D
object" cards across the 3D feeds, the Library page, and the gallery
picker.
Frontend for the new omni audio API
(`/v1/omni_gen/{models,generate,cost}/audio`).
### New pages
- **Webapp**: `/create-audio` page (desktop layout + mobile
Generate/History tabs with settings drawers), added to sidebar.
- **Desktop**: new `AUDIO` tab ("Create Audio") with `PromptBoxAudio`,
registered in the app menu / TopBar. Audio enqueues over HTTP and polls
the jobs feed (Tauri task queue untouched).
### Models & promptbox
- Suno Music / Remix / Sounds / Sample + Seed Audio 1.0, fetched live
from `GET /v1/omni_gen/models/audio` with per-model capability gating.
- Always-visible **style prompt** row (Suno tags), instrumental /
keep-lyrics / loop toggles, BPM + musical key popover (Suno Sounds),
sample rate + speed/volume/pitch tuning popover (Seed Audio).
- Audio/image reference uploads with server rules mirrored client-side
(remix/sample require exactly 1 audio track; Seed Audio can't combine
audio + image refs).
- One request can return multiple job tokens (Suno multi-clip) - every
token becomes its own pending card.
### Audio playback in galleries
- New **`@storyteller/ui-audio-player`** lib (wavesurfer.js v7):
waveform + seek, play/pause, volume, duration - only one player plays at
a time.
- Lazy waveform decode (IntersectionObserver + peaks cache) and a
no-waveform `<audio>` fallback if CORS/decode fails.
- Audio cards/rows added once in the shared `ui-generation-list`, so
both hosts' grid + list views get them.
- Audio playback in both lightboxes (webapp lightbox + desktop
lightbox-modal); Library gets an **Audio** filter tab and includes audio
in "All"; downloads keep the right extension.
### Shared plumbing
- `OmniGenApi` gains audio types + `getAudioModels` / `generateAudio` /
`estimateAudioCost`.
- `useOmniGenAudioModels`, request builder, enqueue + cost hook shared
via `@storyteller/omni-gen` (used by both hosts).
- `useGenerationJobs` moved from the webapp into `ui-generation-list`
(with re-export shim) and taught the `audio_generation` category - the
desktop audio feed reuses it.
- Suno model names/descriptions/creator icon added to `model-list`.
## Changes
- **Prompt character counters on web**: the website and webapp
promptboxes (image + video) now show a `123 / 2000` counter driven by
the API's `text_prompt_max_length`, matching the desktop app. It turns
red when over the limit and generation is blocked with a toast; typing
is never clamped. The webapp's fullscreen prompt editor shows the
counter too.
- **Seedance CJK waiver**: seedance video models normally use the API
limit, but the limit is waived (shows `∞`) while the prompt contains
Chinese characters. Applies on desktop and web via a shared
`effectivePromptMaxLength` helper.
- **API type parity**: added the new `model_creator` field to the web
`OmniGenImageModelInfo` / `OmniGenVideoModelInfo` types (desktop types
were already up to date).
- **Cleanup**: deleted the manual model-to-creator map
(`MODEL_TYPE_TO_CREATOR`, ~150 lines) now that creator info comes from
the API; lightbox model icons use the shared
`getCreatorIconPathForModelId` lookup like every other surface.
### Fullscreen focus mode (desktop + webapp)
- Added a top-right expand icon on every prompt editor that opens a
"Prompt" focus-mode overlay (blurred backdrop, `max-w-4xl` centered
card) for more prompting space.
- Same editor state — overlay binds to the same value + onChange, so
text/@-mentions persist. Auto-focuses with the caret at the end on open.
- Editor fills full height; @-mention dropdown no longer clipped; closes
on Esc / backdrop click.
- Reused `@storyteller/ui-modal`; shared `PromptFullscreenModal` +
button + `useFullscreenPrompt` hook across all 5 desktop promptboxes,
mirrored in the webapp's own PromptBox.
### 3D editor
- Model selector now renders inside the promptbox (was standalone on the
canvas).
- Pose button hides on deselect; pressing "Done" keeps it (flips back to
"Enter Pose Mode") while the character is still selected.
- Drag and drop into folders fix within gallery modal - doesn't close
immediately unless on 3D editor page.
### Tooltips & expand
- Fixed top-left menu tooltips getting stuck open after a tab change.
- Reworked image promptbox auto-grow/expand into a shared
`useAutoGrowEditorHeight` hook (no per-render style writes) with a
smooth height transition.
Add bitrate selector to video create page
- Add bitrate / bitrate_options / bitrate_default to OmniGenApi TS types
- Add bitrate to video UI store (sticky + persisted)
- Send bitrate in generate and cost-estimate requests
- Render Bitrate popover (desktop) and drawer section (mobile), shown
only when the model returns bitrate_options
- Redesigned the gallery modal with a sidebar replacing the old filter
dropdown - filters now show as a list with item counts
- Added a Folders system - create, rename, and delete folders to
organize assets
- Users can drag items onto folders in the sidebar, including
multi-selected items
- Added "Add to Folder" option in the item right-click menu with a
folder picker submenu
- Added "Add to folder" button in the bulk selection bar with a folder
picker popup
- Clicking a folder in the sidebar opens a folder view with its own
content area and empty state
- Folder names are editable - click the title in the header or
right-click a folder in the sidebar to rename
- Videos are now draggable - previously only images and 3D objects could
be dragged
- Folder data is mocked locally for now - ready for API integration
## Login & Signup improvements + Google sign-in
- **Refreshed login & signup pages** - cleaner two-panel design with a
looping
Seedance 2.0 showcase video alongside the form, the ArtCraft logo, and a
back
button. Tidied up the related password-reset and welcome screens to
match.
- **Sign in with Google** - added a "Continue with Google" button to
both the
login and signup pages.
- **Set a password after Google sign-up** - first-time Google users are
guided to
create a password (so they can also sign in on the desktop app), then
continue
to the welcome/pricing page. Returning users go straight in.
- **Account settings** - the password option now says "Set" for accounts
that
don't have a password yet (and skips asking for a current one), and
"Change"
otherwise.
- Adds a new **Referrals** page in both the marketing site and the
webapp, gated by the new `referrals` feature flag
- Users can share two kinds of invite links:
- Their username link (`?u={username}`) - works out of the box
- Up to 5 custom codes (`?r={code}`) they can create and delete
themselves
- Site: link lives in the profile dropdown (desktop + mobile)
- Webapp: link lives in the sidebar under a new "Invite" section
- Users without the flag see nothing - no menu entry, and direct visits
redirect home
- **Characters for Seedance 2.0** - Character creation/selection modal,
@-mention support with colored inline highlights via contentEditable
MentionTextarea, character tokens sent in video generation API requests
- **Mobile responsive navbar** - Hamburger menu with slide-down panel,
all nav items accessible, credits/library/sign out included
- **Mobile responsive PromptBox** - Tighter padding, stacked toolbar on
small screens, flex-wrap for option buttons
- **Mobile responsive library** - Proper sticky header offset, icon-only
filter tabs on mobile
- **Task queue overhaul** - Prompt text with marquee hover, copy button,
model creator icons, detailed failure reasons on all card types
(matching desktop app)
- **Gallery improvements** - 512px thumbnails (was 250px), 12px grid
gap, model + media type badges on hover, model icon + prompt on
in-progress cards
- **Quality selector** - QualityPicker for image models
(High/Medium/Low), wired to cost estimate and generation API
- **Video batch enqueue** - Multiple videos enqueue as separate jobs so
each completes independently
- **Form consistency** - All auth pages use shared `<Input>` component,
`<form onSubmit>` for Enter key, consistent styling
- **Bug fixes** - Lightbox type error, library carousel disabled,
popover icon alignment, end frame library picker, image ref max default
(1 → 6), task queue mobile overflow, clear session button removed
- **Mobile model selector** - Model picker now appears in the PromptBox
toolbar on mobile/tablet (`lg:hidden`), since the floating bottom-left
selector is desktop-only
- **Responsive image prompt row** - Start frame and end frame sections
stack vertically on mobile with a horizontal divider, instead of
side-by-side
- **Responsive lightbox** - Stacks vertically on mobile (media top, info
below), nav arrows always visible (not hover-only), sidebar goes
full-width, darker backdrop (`bg-black/80`)
- **Safari video inline playback** - Lightbox videos use
`disablePictureInPicture`, `controlsList` restrictions, and
vendor-prefixed attributes to prevent fullscreen/PiP pop-out on Safari
