Bug Fixes - Photos generated within a Scene no longer time out and should remain visible if you re-open the app. - When you ask Coach for a specific Circle bond, its suggestion keeps that bond instead of falling back to "acquaintance." Accepting a Circle suggestion now applies right away, without deciding every other card first. - Scenes that got stuck after a server restart now recover on their own and continue. - Accepting a new portrait, for a Character or for yourself, no longer fails with a "not found" error, portraits stuck generating now recover on their own, and if accepting does fail, the message explains why more clearly. - Draft photos in the World library now show up correctly. - Catalog portraits and covers now stay on their preview until the full image is ready, then switch over once, instead of restarting the load. - Autosave no longer changes what you're in the middle of editing, and accepting Coach edits no longer gets held up while Coach tries to publish. - Saving connections between places, like portals, works again. - Starting a Life from a Story no longer fails with an unknown Circle seat error. - Encounter openings now use the right Characters and pronouns. - Scenes now stay consistent about which Characters are physically present, including Characters who were summoned or stepped away, and reuse existing Characters before making up new extras. - Saving a Story draft no longer fails after you reopen the editor. - Community Characters already in a Scene can now be found and referenced correctly. - Characters in a Story keep their identities more reliably as the Scene goes on.

Updates - Story covers are now 16:9 instead of square. - Concept cards and World covers use a refreshed style with more saturated color and stronger contrast. Quality of Life - On Character, Story, and World edit screens, the Coach dock and composer scroll more reliably. - Text areas are now larger on mobile, so there’s more room to type. - Coach photo generation shows progress (“Generating Photo”) while the image is being made.
