ONE PLAN. EVERYTHING INCLUDED. Protocol is now a single Operator membership with every feature unlocked: meal scanning, the training engine, body scans, the AI coach, weekly audits, and nutrient tracking. There is no longer a free plan or free trial. If you already subscribe, nothing changes. If you were on the free plan, your data is still on your device, and subscribing or restoring a purchase picks up right where you left off. MEAL SCANS Your photo now appears inside the scan card while Protocol analyzes it. If a scan fails, you can retry or log the meal manually right from the card instead of starting over. The progress count is smoother too, and nutrient detail now comes through on photo scans. WORKOUT LOGGING Minimized a 1-Tap workout? Tap the live workout strip to jump back in. The exercise picker remembers the muscle group and region you used last, so a leg day no longer means picking LEGS for every station. Buttons across the logger are larger and easier to hit mid-set. APPLE HEALTH Protocol now asks only for the Health data it actually reads (steps, exercise minutes, sleep, energy, and heart rate) and no longer requests write access. Onboarding asks once instead of twice. Also: smaller fixes and layout polish throughout.

TRAIN - Type weight and reps straight in with the number pad - Log bodyweight sets: pull-ups and dips now record as BW - Rest bar with +30s and Skip, right above Log Set - Deleted a set by mistake? Tap Undo - Finish, save or discard a workout from one place - The workout summary highlights new personal records, and Done is always in reach - Progress charts show real session dates, and bodyweight lifts are charted in reps - 1-Tap Logger: resume a live workout anytime, and it remembers your last muscle group FUEL - See your photo while a meal scan is analyzed - If a scan fails, you'll see why, with Retry and Log Manually right in the card - Tap any meal to edit it. The editor now leads with your totals TODAY - Your directives come first. Tap one to jump straight to it EVERYWHERE - The same header on every tab, and nothing covers your buttons anymore - Bigger, easier-to-tap buttons throughout - Smoother loading screens for scans, plans and workouts - Quicker onboarding that shows how many steps are left - Subscription prices in your local currency - Animations respect Reduce Motion FIXES - Ending a workout early no longer ticks off exercises you didn't do - The rest-timer buzz no longer repeats after your rest ends - Your calorie target only counts as hit once you've logged food - Plus many smaller fixes and refinements

A rebuilt interface that starts simple and grows with you. EARNED COMPLEXITY TODAY opens with only what you need to act on now. Coach intel, adaptive TDEE and the full chronicle stay out of the way until you've built the history that makes them useful, then unlock as you go. CLEANER TABS FUEL puts calorie cycling one tap from the cycle pill. TRAIN drops a redundant sub-tab and keeps your session front and centre. YOU collects settings, benchmarks and your chronicle in one place instead of three. BUILT FOR ONE HAND Save and Cancel now sit at the bottom of the meal editor, in thumb reach, and stay visible while you review a scan. Number fields open the number pad with a Done button. Long-press actions and menus replaced buried screens. READABLE AT ANY SIZE Text across the main screens scales with your iOS text-size setting. Every style was raised to a legible minimum and recoloured to meet WCAG AA contrast, so the dense screens stay readable in real light. Sheets now grow with the text inside them, so a larger font no longer breaks their layout. RESPECTS YOUR SETTINGS Reduce Motion switches off ambient animation throughout the app. Times follow your device's 12- or 24-hour preference, and dates follow your region. HONEST PRICING Anyone outside the US could see dollar figures that weren't what Apple would charge. Every price, saving and per-day figure now comes from the App Store for your region. SEE WHAT OPERATOR ADDS Satiety, micronutrient tracking and coach intel used to be simply absent on the free plan rather than locked. You can now see what they are and what they'd show you. THE DAILY BRIEF HAS BEEN RETIRED The morning reel is gone. Everything it showed lives on TODAY and FUEL, and your compliance history is untouched. FIXES - Protocol Reset now restarts your day count and calibration, instead of leaving both running from your original start date - Fixed a visual jitter on TODAY after a fresh install - Day rollover is correct across midnight, time-zone changes and DST - Failed body scans tell you what happened instead of failing silently - Corrected the app icon badge count - Removed a stray empty bar and a duplicate close button in the meal editor

**YOUR DAY NOW HAS A BEGINNING AND AN END.** **DAILY BRIEF** — Open Protocol to a swipe-through morning briefing: today's directives, calories left, sessions to hit, your compliance run, and coach intel — one card per swipe, done in 15 seconds. Replay anytime with REVIEW_BRIEF. **DAY CLOSE-OUT** — Every evening, stamp your day. See your compliance verdict — training, fuel, protein — then lock it into your record. Forgot? Protocol reminds you before the day rolls over. **COMPLIANCE SHIELD** (Operator) — Life happens. Your shield absorbs one missed day per week so a single slip doesn't erase your run. Two misses in a week still break it — the shield forgives slips, not absences. **SYSTEM FINDINGS** — Your brief now surfaces one fresh insight each day: a new PR, a protein trend, your best week yet. The system watches so you don't have to. **WEEKLY DEBRIEF** — Every Monday: last week's compliance, calorie bank, sessions hit, and one target for the week ahead. **TRAINING** — START WORKOUT is now the biggest thing on the screen, right where your thumb lands. Session complete? You'll know at a glance. Plus: app opens straight to TODAY, sharper text throughout, and squashed a visual artifact above the tab bar. --- ### Full Changelog (internal) #### Daily Brief - New reel-style vertical briefing on first open of each day: Directives → Fuel Status → Training Week → System Finding → Compliance → Coach Intel → Calibration → Complete - Fuel Status card: kcal remaining today (flips to OVER BUDGET), consumed/budget, 7-day intake + per-day average, weekly deficit/surplus vs adaptive TDEE with ON PLAN / OFF PLAN badge - Training Week card: sessions hit vs planned, remaining count, today's session with DONE/PENDING state - Compliance card: 7-day score, current run, shield status, and yesterday's verdict (COMPLIANT / PARTIAL / OFF_PLAN / MISSED) - System Finding card: one daily-rotating insight (PRs, trends, records), deterministic per date - Auto-presents once per calendar day; re-runs on day rollover from background; REVIEW_BRIEF pill replays on demand - Zero-flash launch (brief renders on the first frame), Protocol grid background, per-swipe haptics - Free tier: Compliance and Coach Intel appear as locked preview cards with direct upgrade path #### Day Close-Out - Evening CLOSE_OUT card on TODAY from the configured review hour: live verdict (ON_PROTOCOL / PARTIAL / OFF_PLAN) with training, fuel, and protein factor rows - One-tap STAMP opens the compliance review; acknowledging stamps the day and ticks the run — with success haptic - "DAY UNSTAMPED" reminder notification an hour after review time if the day is still open; respects wake/sleep window; cancelled instantly on stamp from any surface - Free tier: locked preview with upgrade path #### Compliance Shield (Operator) - One missed day per calendar week is absorbed instead of breaking the run - Absorption only counts when the miss sits between two logged days; two consecutive misses always break - SYSTEM_OVERRIDE // 1 MISS ABSORBED badge on the chronicle card and morning brief; shield READY/SPENT indicator - Stateless — recomputed from history, cannot drift #### Weekly Debrief - Monday first-open pager: last week's compliance, fuel bank, sessions hit, and next week's target #### Training Tab - Workout card restructured: full-width START WORKOUT / CONTINUE SESSION hero CTA first; SESSION COMPLETE state when logged - Save / Edit / Clear moved to an overflow menu - Free users tapping locked logging now reach the upgrade flow instead of a dead end (UNLOCK OPERATOR / NOT NOW) #### Fixes & Polish - App now launches on TODAY (was FUEL) - Fixed ghost system tab bar appearing when custom chrome hides (toolbar hidden per-tab) - Bottom chrome and brief visibility unified to a single state source — no more desync - Larger, higher-contrast type on touched surfaces (brief cards, workout CTA, progress rows) - Day close-out stamps sync Sentinel coach telemetry immediately ---

PROTOCOL 16.8 — THE ACCOUNTABILITY LAYER This release turns Protocol from a tracker into a system that actually holds you to your run. Daily Brief — Every morning opens with a briefing: today's targets, your active cycle day, and what the system needs from you. Start the day knowing the mission. Day Close-Out — End each day with a stamp. Close it out, lock the record, and see your run extend. Compliance Shield — One slip a week won't kill your streak. The shield absorbs a single miss and shows you exactly when it did — so a bad day doesn't erase weeks of work. System Findings — Protocol now surfaces a fresh insight from your own data each day. Patterns you'd never catch on your own, pulled from your intake, training, and trends. Weekly Debrief — Every Monday, a full readout: compliance, fuel, and training for the week behind you, plus a target for the week ahead. Plus stability improvements and refinements throughout.

SMARTER MAINTENANCE ESTIMATE Your adaptive calorie estimate now learns properly from real intake and weigh-in data. Daily weigh-ins no longer reset what the system has learned, estimates hold steady instead of drifting with day-to-day noise, and calibration status now reflects genuine weeks of data. Apple Watch–derived estimates are now labeled WATCH so you always know what your number is based on. MEAL SCAN, UPGRADED Redesigned scan analysis: a live viewfinder shows each phase of the process — identify, portion, macros, log — with real progress instead of a spinner. TRY THE TRAINING ENGINE — FREE Free tier now generates one real AI workout every week in the Train tab. See exactly what the training engine builds for your goals before you unlock logging, swaps, and weekly progression. STAY ON RECORD If you go quiet for a couple of days, Protocol now sends a short, data-framed reminder — your streak and your estimate depend on days the system can see. No guilt. Just the record. Plus stability improvements throughout.

Notifications Actually Tell You What to Do No more generic "time to log" pings. Your reminders now match your active archetype and tell you exactly what to eat, when, and why.

That's fixed — archetype reminders come through no matter what. Fixed: Fresh Installs Weren't Getting Any Notifications New users were installing the app and hearing nothing. You'll now get default meal reminders set up automatically once your profile is created. Tap a Notification, Go to the Right Place Tapping a meal reminder now drops you straight into food logging. Training reminder? Goes to Train. No more hunting around after you open the app. The App Reminds You Why Logging Matters Quick nudges now remind you that every meal you log makes the engine smarter — better timing, better targets, better results over time.

THE COACH GOT SHARPER The AI coach now reads 26 context blocks per turn — your full training calendar, mid-session state with live sets and loads, seven days of logged work, muscle-group coverage with untrained flags, training-load signals, personal records, recent exercise swaps, Weekly Audit hypotheses, and pack-specific engine data. Coach can recommend what to train next, what to skip, when to rest, and when to deload — grounded in your data, not guesses. Actionable items land as coach-intel cards on your home screen. STRUCTURED INJURIES New injury model. Acute, chronic, recovering, or resolved. Severity on a 1-5 scale. Onset date. Per-joint movement contraindications. Existing injury entries migrate automatically. Your programming now routes around injuries precisely. TIERED REASONING Four AI reasoning layers, one per subscription tier: Base Engine GPT-4o mini Core GPT-4o Core + Training GPT-4 Turbo Operator Claude Sonnet 4.6 The model backing each tier is now visible on every pricing card. Operator users get a flagship reasoning model with meaningfully better handling of your structured training data. FIXES Chronicle now correctly shows past and current training days regardless of where the workout was created — AI- generated, calendar-edited, or logged ad-hoc. Subscription screen no longer collapses the feature list on tier selection. Coach snapshot freshness — pack engine data now rebuilds on every chat turn, so recommendations reflect current
