Repeat readers changelog

One visit is a look; a second is a product someone is actually adopting. This is the Repeat readers slice of the full Docsbook changelog; an entry appears here whenever what it shipped moves this number, whichever part of the panel it landed in.

NEW - 02.09.2026#

Added#

• The draft_* tools return the artifact itself — the page, the answer block, the link insertions, the outreach message — as markdown ready to apply, and name the call that applies it. They still write nothing themselves, so the whole family stays safe on a read-only token. MCP
• Generate Issues asks your assistant to look at the project and file what it finds, after two questions: which stage of work you want to be in — observe, understand, discover, decide, plan, execute, measure, verify, learn, coordinate — and which number you want moved. Asking is the point. With no stage named an assistant returns things to build every time, and a backlog with no Measure or Verify in it belongs to a team that never finds out whether the last thing it built worked; the pair you pick also selects the agents that already cover it, so the issues come from this project's own evidence rather than from general advice. Issues

Changed#

• Admin settings now open as a page everywhere on a documentation site — the settings gear, the account menu's settings rows and the language picker's "Activate languages" all navigate to the dashboard instead of throwing a full-height panel over the docs. An anonymous draft keeps its own page, so its unsaved work survives the trip. Changes

NEW - 30.08.2026#

Added#

• Five collectors in MCP hand back the evidence an audit is built on, without the opinion, at $0.0040 a call against the audit's $0.25. collect_page_text fetches your live pages and reports what the wire actually serves — status, title, headings, and how many words survive with no JavaScript — beside the size of the source stored for the same path. collect_corpus_map maps every page with its size, depth and whether navigation reaches it. collect_assistant_questions, collect_traffic and collect_onsite_search return what readers asked, how their visits ended, and what they typed into your search box. MCP
• That makes the cheap one the right one more often than it sounds. With no Search Console connected, audit_seo still charges a quarter of a dollar to score its ranking axes as unmeasured, while collect_corpus_map needs no search data, no traffic and no history and returns real rows on a site that went up this morning. MCP
• Your agent can now ask one question and get a checked answer back. Nineteen scenario tools each answer a single question about your docs — which pages are one edit away from traffic they already rank for (audit_seo), why traffic fell and what was ruled out (diagnose_traffic_drop), which pages you do not have yet (find_content_gaps), whether a change actually worked (verify_change_impact), whether answer engines can quote you (audit_geo), and fifteen more — each returning a structured answer instead of a paragraph to read. MCP
• Hovering any line of the Live activity feed now offers to hand that one action to the assistant, and what it offers depends on what the reader did. A failed search or a page rated unhelpful gets Fix it — what in your docs caused it and what to change. A copied code block, a thumbs-up or a search result opened gets Do more, which works out what earned it and names the pages it is missing from. Everything else gets Analyze, for what that reader is doing and whether any of it needs you. Live
• Hovering a point on the traffic chart now offers Analyze beside the date, which accounts for that one hour or day: whether it is unusual at all against the days around it, and what a spike was actually made of, a crawler and a launch being identical in a visitor count. The chart is now reachable by keyboard as well, with the arrow keys walking between points. Analytics
• The SEO, GEO and AEO cards each gained the same pair, and Analyze reads your live pages rather than the switch: a setting that is on while the markup never renders is exactly what a green Active pill cannot tell you. SEO
• Settings ▸ Chat now has two model settings instead of one. AI Visitors Chat Model is what answers your readers; Admin & AI Agent Model is what runs the assistant in your dashboard — the one that reads your analytics, calls tools and edits your docs. Picking a stronger model for yourself and a cheaper one for your readers, or the reverse, is now one choice each. AI Chat

Changed#

• Assistant in the draft's panel is where you rewrite a page, add one or change the wording, and interactive mode in its message box opens the site with the chat beside it and every block clickable, with a way back to the panel in the corner. AI Chat
• Analytics no longer counts you and your team browsing your own docs as readers. Every figure that describes an audience — the dead-end rate, the funnel, the breakdowns, the headline and goals — now leaves your own visits out alongside bots. A workspace with no audience yet used to show visits, a bounce rate and a session time that were entirely its owner checking pages after a publish, which is the one reading that feels like a signal and is not. Your visits are not deleted, only kept out of the reader figures. Analytics

Fixed#

• The admin assistant no longer tells you the project you have open is not on Docsbook. It could reach that ending while its own tools were returning your pages and your commit history; when it does now, it is caught and the turn continues on the real project by name instead of offering to create the workspace you are already looking at. AI Chat
• Large documentation pages no longer fail to render. A page over roughly 250KB could exhaust the renderer's memory and return an error instead of the page; those pages now render with syntax highlighting skipped rather than not at all. Docs

NEW - 29.08.2026#

Added#

• Your agent can now hand a whole documentation job to Docsbook instead of doing it itself. run_docs_analyze, run_docs_create, run_docs_manage and run_docs_automate run the matching docs-skill on our side, against your workspace, with the full administrative toolset the skill was written for, and return a run id you read with get_agent_run. Work that takes minutes no longer has to fit in one request, and an assistant with no other Docsbook tools connected can still get an audit done. MCP
• get_agent_run, list_agent_runs and cancel_agent_run report a run's state and live progress, return its report and everything it changed once it finishes, and stop one that is still going. MCP

Changed#

• Goals no longer ship a default funnel nobody declared, and the Journey tab now shows the same honest empty state as the rest of Goals until one exists. Analytics

NEW - 28.08.2026#

Added#

• The Overview's Analytics card now shows visitors with their curve for the week, how many readers are on the site right now, pageviews and AI questions. Dashboard
• A Users page in the admin panel lists every reader of your docs in one table: where they came from, what they read, which goals they reached and how long each one took them, and what that reader is worth. The same table now backs the User and Journey tabs of Goals, and each language's Translations page. Analytics
• Project cards on the Dashboard now show revenue beside visitors once a project has an average product price and a Call To Action URL set. Dashboard
• The conversations table and the Journey view now show when a reader completed a goal and what they're worth. Analytics

Changed#

• Project cards on the Dashboard now draw a curve of the last 7 days' visitors above the visitor count, so one glance shows which sites are alive. Views, AI questions and when you last opened a project appear on hover. Dashboard
• Filtering the feed now offers each facet by name — Add event, Add visitor, Add goal, Add status, Add destination, Search payload — instead of one Add filter button that kept the choices a click out of sight. Feeds
• The Journey view now leads with when each goal was reached — with a quick timeline of what led up to it — instead of listing every goal reached. Analytics
• The Analytics Visitors tile, its chart and every breakdown ranked by visitors now follow your workspace's own accent colour instead of a fixed blue. Analytics

Improved#

• Reader avatars are now far less likely to give two different readers the same colour. The palette was built for eight chart series and collided constantly across a 25-row table; the colour is now generated per reader, and hard-to-tell-apart pairs drop from roughly 4% to under 2%. Affects AI Chat, Analytics and the Journey tab. Analytics

Fixed#

• The estimated Savings figure in AI Chat now subtracts what those conversations actually cost to run, instead of ignoring your real spend — a workspace with real chat activity no longer sees it read as $0. AI Chat
• Filtering Feeds by a visitor now finds that reader's events. It searched only the events your docs dispatched — nearly all of which belong to the project rather than to any one reader — and answered "Nothing matches this filter" about readers who had been active all along. It now searches what that reader did on the site as well, across the whole window rather than the most recent few hundred events. Feeds
• The tabs of a card you cannot use yet now switch. On a plan you have not bought, and in the signed-out preview, a card is shown over sample figures with the offer laid over it — but its own tabs were dead, so Analytics ▸ Goals showed one of its four views and hid Funnel, User and Journey behind a control that did nothing. Each view has its own sample data and can now be looked through before you decide. Analytics

NEW - 26.08.2026#

Fixed#

• The settings panel and chat no longer open automatically over a fresh /draft or a ?preview=true visitor's own site — they're one click away on the gear icon, and the guided tour still starts the first time you open it. Preview

NEW - 24.08.2026#

Fixed#

• Cards that had nothing to show a signed-out visitor are now filled with sample data instead of an error or an empty state — goals and funnels, the commit list, chat conversations and their transcripts, repository folders, navigation and social links, and every language page. Preview
• Sample figures shown to a signed-out visitor are blurred everywhere they appear, including the commit list and chat sidebar, so invented numbers can never be read as a site's real ones. Preview
• Opening an MCP tool or a skill no longer hides its catalog for the rest of the session — the breadcrumb goes back, and a failed catalog load retries when you reopen the page. Agents
• Plan names no longer appear to visitors who have no account, on tool descriptions, skill badges or example prompts. Preview

NEW - 23.08.2026#

Added#

• Any content widget can now be switched off for a project. Its comments stay in your files and every word between them still publishes; only the rich block is withheld. Switch it back on and every page that used it returns, with nothing to re-write. Content Widgets
• Analytics now leads with six figures instead of four counts: visitors, revenue, conversion rate, revenue per visitor, bounce rate and session time, each showing how it moved against the period before it. Analytics
• The visitors chart now splits new readers from returning ones, and its tooltip carries pageviews, pages per visitor and the returning rate for the hour or day under the cursor. Analytics
• Bounce rate and Session time are now reported per visit, so you can see how many readers arrive and leave without reading, and how long the rest stay. Analytics
• Every row of the analytics cards now carries revenue beside visitors, so you can see which pages, referrers, channels, countries, browsers and languages brought the readers who bought — not only the readers who came. One click switches all four cards between ranking by Visitors and by Revenue. Analytics
• Hovering a row shows its visitors, revenue, revenue per visitor and conversion rate, with buttons to filter by it or open it. Details on each card opens the same numbers as a full table. Analytics
• Pages and Headings can now be ranked by Views and Reading time as well as visitors and revenue, and each figure counts only what happened on that page — a busy visit no longer makes every page it touched look busy. Analytics
• Feeds can now filter by a single visitor or by whoever completed a goal — open a reader in Analytics and jump straight to everything they did in Feeds, or paste in an id by hand. Feeds

Changed#

• Visitors with no referrer are now a row of their own, Direct / None, instead of being left out of the referrer list. On most documentation sites they are the largest single source. Analytics

Fixed#

• Commits stopped showing up in Changes. The nightly collector walked only part of the projects it should have, so an active repository could go days without a single new entry while the run reported success. Every project is now collected on every run. Changes

Removed#

• The three summary tiles above the Feeds feed (all activity, needs attention, failed deliveries) — failed moved into Add filter under Delivery status. Feeds

NEW - 22.08.2026#

Added#

• get_page_diff_impact returns that same country, language and device breakdown, so an agent can tell a translation-shaped audience from a general rise in traffic. MCP
• Interactive mode sits next to + in the composer: turn it on and the docs open beside the chat with click-to-edit armed. Turning it off stops click-to-edit and leaves the docs where they are, so the page you were editing does not disappear behind the chat. AI Chat
• Search rankings now opens with a one-click activation prompt when SEO, GEO and AEO are all off — showing what your rankings will look like and turning any of them on, free on every plan, instead of an empty tab. SEO
• The Feeds page opens on a digest of the range: all activity, events that need attention, and failed deliveries as three counters, plus a chip per event group with its count — every number is a one-click filter on the feed, and clicking it again clears it. Feeds
• Needs attention in the Feeds digest counts the events where a reader hit a wall — unanswered chat questions, dead-end searches, stale content and translations, usage limits — separately from routine activity. Feeds

Changed#

• Visitor Countries and Language Countries are one card with Countries and Languages tabs, sitting beside the reader map instead of under it — the same Countries/Languages split used to appear twice on the tab, once as map tabs and once as two separate tables. Translation
• The Feeds filter menu is a quarter of its old width and picks one facet at a time — events, delivery status, destination or a payload search — with the event list flat and searchable instead of split across nine headings. Each active filter now reads as its facet and count, and clicking it reopens that facet. Feeds

Fixed#

• The translation savings, visitor and conversion figures no longer render blurred on a paid plan. Translation

NEW - 15.08.2026#

Changed#

• The landing page's feature section now answers the four questions buyers actually ask, in the order they ask them: what the bill can do, what the docs return, whether you can act on that, and what it costs to leave. Landing

NEW - 14.08.2026#

Changed#

• Opening the language switcher on your own site before any language is enabled now offers to activate them and takes you to the translation settings, instead of reporting that none are added. Readers of your published docs still see the plain notice. Translations

Fixed#

• A visitor reading a preview of a repository that has no workspace yet gets their question answered instead of Sign in to make changes. Draft
• The draft chat showed the platform's own spending cap as if it were the visitor's. Draft
• The AI no longer offers a preview visitor the full 36-card owner library, or a working Account/Invite pair next to the locked one. Draft

NEW - 10.08.2026#

Fixed#

• A repository preview opened on a workspace subdomain returned a 404 when you sent a message. Draft
• Signed-out visitors editing a preview saw a raw HTTP 401 instead of an invitation to sign in — and the sign-in button that replaced it was invisible against its own background. Draft

NEW - 08.08.2026#

Changed#

• The draft's blue button now says what a click does: Claim website while the generated site stands as built, Save changes once you have customised it. It was called Publish, which named an outcome a visitor without an account could not reach. Draft
• The project switcher offers visitors without an account Claim website instead of Sign up to connect a repo. AI Chat

NEW - 01.08.2026#

Changed#

• The docs toolbar's Ask AI button is now two icon buttons next to your avatar: Chat opens the full AI chat directly with the composer focused, Editor arms block-level editing with no chat needed. Pressing the active one returns the page to its normal state. AI Chat

Fixed#

• Reopening a past conversation no longer restores it as a chat you cannot see, and the docs toolbar no longer shows Chat as active while a plain documentation page is on screen. AI Chat

NEW - 29.07.2026#

Changed#

• Prices are no longer hidden from visitors who have not signed up: the full plan comparison is visible in a preview, and picking a plan opens the signup form. Billing

Fixed#

• The project picker no longer offers a visitor without an account a "Connect GitHub" action that could not apply to them. AI Chat

NEW - 28.07.2026#

Added#

• Seven new analyses answer real business questions: the routes readers walk, where they leak out of a funnel you declare, reverse funnels from successful visits, W1/W4 retention, searches that got results but no clicks, rage signals, and any headline metric plotted over time. Analytics
• Translation Activity is now a searchable table of your pages: each row shows whether a page changed in git and whether its translations followed, per language, with a retranslate button on the row. Translation

Fixed#

• Visitors, page views, top pages, referrers and events now exclude crawler traffic, which was up to 93% of pageviews on some sites. AI Visits remains the one card that reports bot volume. Analytics

NEW - 27.07.2026#

Added#

• Translation activity and spend breakdown. Translations
• Re-translate a single page or a whole language on demand, straight from the Translation Activity panel. Translations
• Translation Activity now reports how many pages have fallen behind your source content, and how many point at files that were renamed or deleted. Translations

Fixed#

• Subscribing now funds the AI budget on your account. Activation credited an unused balance, so a new subscriber could pay and still see an empty budget. Billing
• Translation docs no longer claim that pushing to GitHub re-translates changed pages on its own — it does not, and the new Translation Activity panel is how you catch pages up. Docs

NEW - 24.07.2026#

Added#

• A public Security & Privacy page explains how visitor analytics avoid PII, don't use tracking cookies, and can never link the same visitor across two different workspaces. Security

0.26.4 - 12.06.2026#

Added#

• Separate credit cards for AI Chat, AI Translations, and Visitor AI Chat usage in admin dashboard — granular view of token spend by feature.

Improved#

• Buddy mode: Converted /buddy from command to dedicated skill with isolated context — improves modularity and reduces main session token usage.
• Progress bar in credit cards now shows remaining credits instead of usage percentage — better visibility of available budget in AI Chat Credits and Visitors AI Chat Credits

0.26.3 - 11.06.2026#

Fixed#

• Usage attribution: When a workspace owner uses the docs-chat widget, their token spend is now correctly charged to the "Admin & AI Agent" category instead of inflating the "Readers (AI Chat)" bar — giving an accurate picture of how much visitors actually cost.

0.26.2 - 11.06.2026#

Improved#

• Agent daemon: Token diet for spawn_session() — now selects model by priority (P1 → Sonnet, P2/P3 → Haiku instead of fixed Sonnet) and adds bash pre-checks in merger role (skip if PR already merged or base=main). Selective directory copy by role (merger copies only routines/ + agents/branch-merger.md instead of full context).

0.26.0 - 11.06.2026#

Added#

• Interactive upsell card when Pro/Pro+ features are mentioned in chat.

Fixed#

• Agent pipeline agent:working lock now released automatically on any session exit (trap on EXIT in nohup subprocess) — no more manual lock cleanup after agent crashes.
• merger now finds PRs by branch name claude/issue-N as fallback when Closes #N body search returns empty — eliminates false NEEDS_HUMAN blocks.

0.25.1 - 08.06.2026#

Fixed#

• Docs: Removed internal operational files (TWITTER_SETUP, outreach/) from the public documentation sidebar — visitors no longer see private tooling pages

0.25.0 - 04.06.2026#

Added#

• Onboarding: Interactive 7-step onboarding guide on first login to Docsbook — guided tour highlights key features in FloatWidget toolbar, adapts to user's plan (Free/PRO/PRO+/Enterprise), and remembers when dismissed with hasSeenOnboarding flag in workspaces

0.22.3 - 30.05.2026#

Fixed#

• Fix /pricing route returning 404 — now redirects to / instead of broken pricing.docsbook.io subdomain
• Fix /blog and /blog/:path* returning 500 — now redirects to docsbook.io/docs/blog for marketer SEO entry-points
• Fix SEO/GEO/AEO toggles showing "Active" in anonymous mode — toggle now rolls back and shows an inline error when unauthenticated

0.22.2 - 28.05.2026#

Changed#

• docs.docsbook.io and docsbook-io.docsbook.io now return Disallow: / in robots.txt so search engines index only the canonical docsbook.io/docs path

0.22.1 - 28.05.2026#

Fixed#

• Fixed broken navigation on docs.docsbook.io alias — clicking any sidebar/inline link returned 404 because cached HTML carried the /docs/ repo prefix while middleware rewrote it again. Added x-docs-alias header in src/proxy.ts and routed basePath to empty in src/app/[user]/[repo]/[[...path]]/page.tsx so links render as /ai/mcp instead of /docs/ai/mcp. Existing docsbook-io.docsbook.io/docs/* paths keep working unchanged

0.21.6 - 27.05.2026#

Fixed#

• Fixed mobile sidebar backdrop overlay no longer covering the header in src/components/docs/Sidebar.tsx — overlay now starts below the header (h-12 + preview banner offset) and z-index lowered from 40 to 30 so the header stays interactive while the sidebar is open

0.21.4 - 26.05.2026#

Chore#

• Optimized Claude Code token usage with claude-token-optimizer: added Session Start Protocol, filled .claude/QUICK_START.md, .claude/COMMON_MISTAKES.md, .claude/ARCHITECTURE_MAP.md with project-specific content — auto-loaded tokens reduced from ~137k to ~121k

0.19.0 - 25.05.2026#

Added#

• MCP visitor activity drill-down — two new tools on PRO+ (get_top_visitors and get_visitor_activity) let AI agents investigate what one specific anonymous visitor actually did end-to-end. get_top_visitors returns the most active anonymous visitors with a stable hashed visitor_id, pageview count, country, and first/last seen; pass that visitor_id to get_visitor_activity to get the full chronological event timeline (pageviews, page feedback, CTA clicks) with paths and event-specific details (vote, query, href, heading, …). get_page_journeys also returns the same visitor_id so journeys can be drilled into immediately. visitor_id is sha256(VISITOR_ID_SALT + repoFullName + ip).slice(0,16) — stable across sessions for the same person within one workspace, but raw IPs never leave Axiom

0.18.1 - 25.05.2026#

Changed#

• Bento feature cards on the landing page now link to their corresponding documentation pages instead of /connect — AI Chat → /docs/ai/chat, SEO Optimization → /docs/content/features/seo, Web Analytics → /docs/analytics/tracking/overview, AI Translations → /docs/translation/ai-translations, User Feedback → /docs/content/features/feedback. Smoother funnel (visitor reads about the feature first) and internal-linking SEO boost

0.18.0 - 24.05.2026#

Added#

• Ask AI on text selection — when readers highlight a snippet inside the docs, a floating Ask AI bubble appears above the selection; one click sends the selected text to AI Chat as a ready prompt. Tooglable per-workspace (Content tab in admin and show_ask_ai_on_selection in MCP update_ui_settings). On by default. Reduces friction for "explain this paragraph" / "rephrase this" use cases and pushes AI engagement
• Install snippets for 8 AI clients on /mcp — interactive selector with tabs for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Windsurf, Cline, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot (VS Code), and ChatGPT; each one shows its own command or config (bash/JSON/TOML) with filename and optional install steps

Changed#

• Replaced legacy "Will the price increase?" answer with a price-lock guarantee for active subscriptions

0.17.2 - 23.05.2026#

Added#

• get_doc_graph now supports format parameter: "toon" (default) returns a compact text tree ~10x smaller than JSON with @canonical/ref syntax that LLMs parse natively; "json" preserves the previous full structured response for programmatic clients

0.17.1 - 23.05.2026#

Fixed#

• Prevent race conditions in monthly usage limits for AI Chat, Translations, and Reindex — concurrent requests could each pass a stale pre-check and push counters past the plan limit (visible as 78/50 pages translated on Pro). Replaced check-then-act with atomic conditional UPDATE ... RETURNING in batchTranslate, /api/ai-chat, and the MCP reindex endpoint

0.16.0 - 22.05.2026#

Fixed#

• ConnectPage now redirects to sign-in when the session cookie is present but invalid/expired, preventing a broken ConnectPicker state

0.15.1 - 22.05.2026#

Added#

• Before→After traffic animation in BentoFeatures analytics cell — visitors climb from 11 to 1,240 and page views from 34 to 8,900 in a 9-second loop

0.11.0 - 16.05.2026#

Added#

• Header navigation links now translate to the active language

0.10.0 - 15.05.2026#

Fixed#

• Subheader links navigate to correct translated pages when translations are active

0.3.1 - 09.05.2026#

Improved#

• Sidebar folders auto-expand and scroll to active page on nested pages

0.2.0 - 08.05.2026#

Fixed#

• AI panel no longer returns 403 when toggling DeepSearch/References

0.1.1 - 07.05.2026#

Fixed#

• Pro plan features now accessible when workspace has an active Pro subscription
• Language switcher now visible to all visitors when enabled, even before languages are added
