Changelog

Sign up or sign in with any Microsoft account: work or school (Microsoft 365) and personal (Outlook, Hotmail, Live). One click on the login or sign-up page; your Microsoft identity links to a Stride account with the same email, alongside Google and email/password. Two-factor auth and everything else work exactly the same.

Verify shipped a 17-PR module-wide overhaul: streaming AI test generation that preserves multi-step tests through the pipeline, drawer-first test-case UX with traceability, AI-assisted defect analytics, and per-workspace AI budget provider locking. AI test cases now link back to stories cleanly in the dashboard.

Plan sprints V2/V3 land as a Jira-equivalent module: analytics, scope-creep detection, sprint planning views, and Jira-style structured release notes.

Rebuilt /projects from the ground up: single-lead column model, slimmer filters, saved-view tabs you can pin per workspace, quick-action hover menus, scannable sprint + delivery chips on every row, and auto-complete when a sprint closes. The PAUSED status got dropped; "in progress" is now binary.

Roadmap got a premium final-form pass: contextual zoom on hover, an intelligence panel that surfaces dependencies + risk + capacity at a glance, status filters, search, density-toggle, and full keyboard navigation. The Gantt now reads like Linear’s project timeline.

Kanban cards got a ground-up redesign: due-date chip, child-item count, strict color economy so only the things that matter (overdue, blocked) light up, and overflow rules so long titles don’t break the column rhythm.

Workspace owners can now grant per-project access (read / write / admin) instead of all-or-nothing workspace membership. Enforcement runs at every layer (API routes, MCP tools, and every UI navigation guard) so a contributor with read-only access on Project A and admin on Project B sees and writes exactly that, everywhere.

Activity feed and Inbox merged into one sidebar surface with sections, snooze, and a "done" pile so everything that wants your attention (assignments, mentions, sprint changes, status updates) lives in one place with the same triage flow.

Stories now carry a real dueDate from schema through to UI: sidebar field on story detail, bulk-edit modal on the backlog, sync both directions with Jira’s due-date field. Kanban cards and the Plan calendar already pick it up.

New Plan Calendar: month / week / day views with event cards, drag-and-drop to reschedule due-dated work, an Unscheduled panel for triage, sprint bands and release pins overlaid on the canvas, and keyboard-accessible drag.

Multi-select on the backlog now means business: group-level select-all checkboxes, a bulk-edit modal that updates labels / assignee / sprint / status / due-date on every selected story at once, and bulk drag-and-drop that moves whole selections between sprints or backlog sections in one motion.

The MCP server gained 25+ new write tools: sprints (create / update / transition), epics, story relations, comments, attachments, labels, bulk updates, restore / delete operations. Claude Code and Codex can now run a sprint planning session start-to-finish on your behalf.

Plan Automation Phase 1 ships: pick from a curated template library, edit any rule inline, test-fire a rule against a real story before turning it on, and audit every execution in a history pane. The whole flow got a redesign so building "when X, do Y" rules feels less like Zapier and more like part of Plan.

Six-PR Optimize module landing: Stride Process Stream + Process Explorer header, Variants + Conformance tabs in Analysis, live insight generators from event streams, a Monte Carlo simulation engine wired to a server-backed run API, contextual Insight Strip surfaces on Plan story detail, and cross-module Process Stories narratives.

Drop a screenshot, log, or attachment directly into a story description or comment: paste, drag-and-drop, or click-to-upload all work, with inline previews for images and a download chip for everything else.

Every story now carries a stable Jira-style key (e.g. PROJ-123) derived from its project’s prefix and auto-incremented per project. Keys appear in URLs, breadcrumbs, search, Slack / Jira / GitHub mentions, and the universal Cmd+K palette.

Process Designer ships as a full BPMN 2.0 canvas: rich palette (tasks, events, gateways, swimlanes), step inspector with field-level editing, version history with diff, autosave, import / export to standard BPMN XML, and a generate-handoff button that turns the diagram into a runbook.

Generate Backlog from meeting notes got rebuilt as a multi-step streaming wizard: paste notes, AI extracts initiatives, you accept / reject / edit each before any story lands. SSE-streamed so cards appear as the model writes them.

Every comment now supports emoji reactions: pick from the standard set or open the full picker, see counts and reactor avatars inline. Reactions sync over Inbox notifications so a thumbs-up doesn’t fire a fresh email.

Legacy Intelligence moves from prototype to first-class surface: list and detail routes for legacy systems, full CRUD, a shared data layer that the rest of Optimize reads from, and the "Legacy Intelligence" flagship positioning on the tour.

Workspace owners get a live AI usage dashboard: every AI call attributed to a user, feature, story, and model, with cost breakdowns, item-count badges, and a paginated log that powers chargeback or just keeps the spend cap honest.

PRD wizard ships its overhaul: two-phase generation (outline → stories) that parallelises across the outline, SSE-streamed progress per stage, per-story test batching, retry on per-stage errors, and a fallback heuristic writer that still ships real content when the AI provider is degraded.

Sprint detail pages gained inline add / remove story controls: multi-select from the backlog into the active sprint, pull stories out with one click, all without leaving the sprint view. Matches Jira’s sprint-management muscle memory.

Every AI feature that targets Anthropic now uses prompt caching for the shared-context portion of the call. Typical workspace prompts cache the system + workspace-summary blocks, cutting per-call cost dramatically. Updated cost-pricing table tracks the new floor.

Story descriptions, comments, ADRs, meeting notes, and PRD bodies share one Tiptap-based rich editor: same toolbar, same slash menu, same markdown / paste-from-anywhere, same keyboard shortcuts. Phase 3 starts wiring AI inline commands.

Stride now ships as a Model Context Protocol server: connect Claude Code or Codex to your workspace and let an external AI agent read your backlog, draft stories, fan out test cases, or open a PR with full project scope. Per-user OAuth, scope-aware tile UI, and project-RBAC integration so each integration only sees what its owner can.

Cmd+K is now the universal entry-point: search every entity, jump to any surface, run natural-language commands ("close PROJ-12, move PROJ-13 to next sprint"). Click any link inline to slide-in a peek drawer with stacked navigation so you don’t lose context. Central keymap provider with chord support.

New agentic AI chat lives in the app shell: answers product questions, drafts tickets and tests, traces work across modules. Three-phase rollout (foundation → tools → memory) shipped with migration 0065.

Install the Stride GitHub App on your org; any PR with a Stride ticket key in the title or branch auto-links to the story. Opt-in: PR-merge auto-transitions the linked story’s status. HMAC-signed webhooks, App-level auth (no per-user OAuth needed).

Slack v1 ships: OAuth install with workspace-scope, per-project channel picker, and configurable activity fan-out (stories, sprints, releases, mentions). Threaded so a noisy sprint doesn’t flood #engineering.

Google as an OAuth provider on both /login and /register. Workspace invites also auto-link a Google identity so an invited user lands in the right workspace on first sign-in.

New workspaces see a 5-step activation checklist on /dashboard: create your first story, invite a teammate, connect an integration, generate a PRD, configure billing. Each step deep-links to the right surface and persists progress.

An ambient right-rail follows you across the app: context-aware suggestions for the surface you’re on, prompt-hash-cached so identical context doesn’t re-spend AI budget. Smart cards surface the next-best action ("close 3 stale stories", "the sprint ends in 2 days, want a release-note draft?").

Any filtered list view (backlog, board, roadmap, projects) can be saved as a named view, shared via URL (filters / sort / grouping all encoded), and pinned to your dashboard as a live widget.

Create scoped API keys from Settings → API keys, then call the REST API with Authorization: Bearer nl_…. Full reference lives in Settings → API reference once you sign in.

Every activity now fans out to your webhook endpoints with an HMAC-SHA256 signature, exponential-backoff retries, a per-hook delivery log, and one-click replay.

PRD generation, meeting notes, and full data exports now run as background jobs with live progress so they don’t time out on large workspaces.

New /legal/security trust page, workspace data export as JSON, 30-day soft-delete for workspaces with undo, full audit log for OWNER/ADMIN roles.

Email verification, password reset, per-email login lockout (5/15min), constant-time bcrypt comparison, and audit log entries for every auth event.

Stripe checkout + billing portal, usage metering, and per-workspace monthly AI spend caps with 50/80/100% alerts.

Stride is now production-ready with Sentry error tracking, distributed rate limiting, legal pages, and a first-class deployment pipeline.
