Digital Ink 3.0 begins a new chapter: Smart Inks are no longer isolated objects. They can form relationships, inhabit a spatial InkHome and carry stronger links between artist, artwork and provenance. • RELATIONSHIPS Smart Inks can form active, dormant and historical relationships, with histories, explanations and witnesses preserved over time. • 3D INKHOME Explore projected routes and connections between Smart Inks in a new three-dimensional view of your archive. • ARTIST IDENTITY Digital Ink can now preserve an Artist Identity as part of the provenance system. • ARTWORK SIGNING & VERIFICATION New V2 provenance supports cryptographic artwork signing and verification while keeping older Heritage Ink historically honest. • HERITAGE INK Older Smart Inks remain part of the archive without silently being upgraded to provenance information they never originally had. • OFFLINE VISUAL ANALYSIS Expanded on-device Vision and OCR can preserve structured visual evidence and recognised text as part of an Ink’s memory. • INDIVIDUAL PRESENTATION New per-Ink animation and presentation controls give individual Smart Inks more ways to express themselves inside InkHome. • ONLINE ASSIST & RECONSTRUCTION Improved optional online interpretation and AI Memory Reconstruction, with safer credit handling, purchase verification and temporary-data cleanup. • PRIVACY & RELIABILITY Updated privacy controls, provenance persistence, StoreKit purchase protection and safer handling of temporary online operations. The fundamental rule remains unchanged: one image becomes one Smart Ink, Ink is finite, and every painted pixel remains connected to its origin.

Source Memory arrives in Digital Ink. • Optionally preserve a tiny visual trace of the original image during Sacred Transformation—compressed to a maximum of 192 pixels on its longest edge. • View Source Memory directly inside Smart Ink Details, from either Sacred InkHome or the canvas. • With your permission, Source Memory can join an ink’s evolving biography, personal memories, education and provenance during AI Memory Reconstruction. • Added clearer consent information before content is sent through Digital Ink’s Cloudflare service to OpenAI. • Protected reconstruction retries against duplicate credit charges. Failed eligible operations return their credits safely. • Credit balances now refresh immediately after online image descriptions, reconstructions, refunds, purchases and restores. • Restored keyboard entry for optional personal memory notes. • Improved Sacred InkHome responsiveness for large collections of educated inks. • Improved the reliability of online image descriptions and AI reconstruction. • Removed release-visible debugging information, strengthened the privacy of application logs and added Apple’s privacy manifest.

Elastic Canvas Boundaries: We have grounded the infinite grid. A new zoom-aware, elastic rubber-banding system ensures your canvas smoothly snaps back into view if you drag or zoom too far. You will never lose your artwork to the void again. Lo-Fi Memory Reconstructions: The visual engine has been deliberately recalibrated. Reconstructed memories now use a highly stylised rendering tier to produce a grittier, more authentic pixel-collage aesthetic that perfectly matches the app's spirit. Economy Rebalance: To sustainably support the deep-reasoning vision engine, memory reconstructions are now strictly balanced at 10 credits per generation.

CRITICAL REVIEWER NOTE: This version introduces an upgraded image generation engine (gpt-image-2) via an ephemeral, private proxy server. Testing Notes: 1. To test the "Memory Reconstruct" feature on a Smart Ink canvas, ensure your test device has an active internet connection. 2. The new deep-reasoning model can take up to 60–85 seconds to fully compile high-fidelity visual assets. A custom 90-second timeout window has been securely implemented in this build to accommodate this processing phase. 3. The app adheres to a strict zero-data-collection policy. All images are processed completely in-memory on our proxy and sent directly to the user's device via base64 encoding. No data is stored, tracked, or cached on external servers. 4. For testing convenience, the development sandbox environment automatically handles token balance replenishment.

Enhanced Stability: Fixed rare but critical bugs that could cause the app to close unexpectedly when saving artwork or managing inks in the storage gallery. Battery & Performance Optimisation: Completely overhauled our internal processing systems. Digital Ink now runs much more efficiently in the background, keeping your iPad running smoother and preserving battery life. Privacy Upgrades: Improved how the app handles internal data to ensure your local artwork and settings remain completely private and secure. Enhanced Stability: Fixed rare but critical bugs that could cause the app to close unexpectedly when saving artwork or managing inks in the storage gallery.
