Version 2026.08.12 - Pulse Lenses and Local Document Intelligence

This release makes daily workspace review more adaptable, expands private document and meeting workflows, and strengthens recovery without changing Markdown ownership.

Pulse dashboards and lenses

• Use the new Pulse dashboard to bring together tasks, today's schedule, Inbox captures, recent notes, bookmarks, decisions, Quarries, and a bounded daily briefing.
• Create reusable lenses for work, study, projects, or personal planning, with configurable widgets and signal priorities.
• See why each signal appears, then complete, snooze, dismiss, or mark it less relevant. Reviewed feedback remains part of the workspace's durable history.
• Export a Pulse view as portable Markdown and generate calm, cited briefings without re-indexing the vault.

Local document and PDF intelligence

• Extract Markdown locally from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, EPUB, CSV, RTF, and PDF files.
• Inspect PDFs before extraction and run local OCR only on pages that need it, avoiding unnecessary full-document OCR.
• Preserve document provenance, page information, extraction method, and embedded-asset metadata for later review.
• Convert supported PDFs to Markdown from the Phasoric web clipper using its packaged browser-safe extraction engine.

Meeting Memory improvements

• Record meetings with explicit consent, editable speaker labels, timestamps, and recoverable local checkpoints.
• Reprocess a selected audio range, translate a reviewed transcript, or discard temporary audio and transcript state.
• Manage saved meeting sessions and turn a reviewed session into a portable Markdown meeting note.
• Built-in extraction remains local; connected recipes receive only the bounded transcript context shown by Phasoric.

Canvas and Knowledge Graph

• Organize multiple canvases into folders and add notes through a searchable vault picker.
• Canvas stores references to notes instead of copying their Markdown, so expanded cards always read current vault content.
• Connect cards with labeled relationships while keeping canvas metadata separate from canonical note content.
• Pan and zoom the Knowledge Graph, filter by tag or title, reset the view, and open a note directly from its graph node.

Vault identity, privacy, and recovery

• Local storage, Phasoric Hosted, Dropbox, Google Drive, and GitHub now appear as storage bindings beneath one logical vault instead of duplicate vaults.
• Intentionally separate vaults remain separate; Phasoric does not merge unrelated vaults merely because their names match.
• Hosted workspace recovery restores canonical note identity, attachments, reviewed decisions, accepted memory, Pulse feedback, Forge receipts, and deletion intent before reporting the workspace fully ready.
• Connected Intelligence explains when bounded workspace context will leave the device and requires acknowledgement before first use.
• Encrypted vaults can automatically remove their in-memory key after 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes of inactivity.

Governed continuity and decision context

• Intelligence conversations now begin sooner when relevant notes need to be loaded from connected storage, and streamed answers stay smoother as they grow.
• Agent Studio now shows which evidence routes were selected, which sources policy omitted, and which handoffs or continuity items still need review.
• Confirmed handoffs can be reused as bounded context; decisions still require Strata review and workspace-changing actions still require Forge approval.
• Work sessions preserve a safe replay of selected context, validation, durable artifacts, and action status without storing hidden model reasoning.
• Strata records when a decision was valid and when Phasoric learned it, preserving corrections and superseded history instead of silently rewriting the past.
• Daily tasks can enter a reviewed continuity lifecycle with exact source references, while low-information messages and credential-like text are excluded.

Governed tags and portable recovery

• Tag definitions can include descriptions, hierarchy, aliases, and related vocabulary while ordinary Markdown tags remain canonical.
• Tag merges provide an affected-item preview and preserve redirects and merge history after confirmation.
• Blueprint and workspace tag recommendations remain proposals until a person applies them.
• Dropbox, Google Drive, GitHub, and Phasoric Hosted vaults now carry an encrypted, integrity-checked permanent-memory recovery sidecar for reviewed decisions, policies, handoffs, continuity, work sessions, tags, receipts, and deletion intent.

A calmer, clearer note workspace

• Attach a PDF, image, or document directly from the note toolbar, then open it from the note without hunting through menus. PDFs can also be viewed inside Phasoric in Reading mode.
• Find notes with a complete status filter for Active, On hold, Done, and Dropped, plus a separate Pinned filter for the notes that deserve priority.
• Pin or unpin notes from the file tree. Bookmarks remain a separate way to save navigation shortcuts to notes, folders, or sections.
• Use streamlined note menus while moving and duplicating notes from the file tree, where their destination and surrounding folders are easier to understand.
• Work with a quieter Note tools sidebar. Outline stays available by default, other tools open only when selected, and each person can pin the tools they want to keep visible.

Provider, connected-intelligence, and hosted-recovery capabilities remain subject to plan access and configured services.
