Changelog

All notable changes to Generous.nz are recorded here, grouped by version. Every deployed build has a version number, a git tag, and an entry below.

Versioning scheme

Versions follow MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH:

0.x — pre-launch. Minor bumps mark a completed build phase or major feature set; patches are bug fixes on the current build.
1.0.0 — first public launch.
1.x+ — post-launch: minor = new features, patch = fixes, major = breaking changes or significant re-architecture.

Each version is tagged in git (v0.2.0) and the current version is kept in package.json. See docs/version-control.md for how to cut a release.

Brand logo uploads.

Brands can now have a logo image uploaded directly (in addition to pasting an image URL) when creating or editing a brand, with a small preview shown while editing.

Edit wholesale brands.

Brands on the wholesale Brands page can now be edited — rename the brand and/or update its logo URL. Works for attached brands and the store's main brand. The public page slug stays unchanged so existing links keep working.

Clearer product options guidance.

The "Options / variations" help text on the wholesale product form now explains the feature with more examples (location, service level like Gold/Silver/Bronze, size, colour), reminds sellers to explain each option in the product description, and advises keeping value names short and clear.

Consistent layout for edit/product pages.

The wholesale "Edit catalogue product" page no longer centres its content; it now spans the same width and starts at the same position as the Add product and catalogue pages, so the nav-to-card spacing matches.
"Edit fundraiser", "Edit listing" and the organisation "New campaign" pages are also left-aligned to match the rest of the dashboard.
Tidied the edit product header (back-link wording and spacing) to match the Add product page.

Dashboard layout consistency.

"Create a fundraiser" and "List an item for sale" pages no longer centre their content; they now start at the same left edge as the dashboard overview, so spacing matches across pages.
The sidebar nav has a fixed width on desktop, so it stays in exactly the same place when clicking between dashboard pages.
The browser scrollbar gutter is now reserved on every page, so the header and layout no longer shift sideways on pages long enough to scroll.

Admin-managed DeepSeek API key.

The admin AI page now has a "Provider key" panel where the DeepSeek API key (and optional model name) can be entered and saved — no server .env edit or restart needed.
The key is encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM, keyed from AUTH_SECRET) in the settings table. The full key is never returned to the browser; the page only shows a masked sk-…abcd status.
Saved keys are used immediately by AI moderation, fraud screening, order fraud checks, content generation, and the "Run test review" button. A "Remove saved key" button clears it and falls back to the server .env key.

The AI provider now reads its DeepSeek key from the database first and the server .env as a fallback.

A valid sk-… key from platform.deepseek.com is still required for the AI provider to authenticate; the previous server key returned 401.

AI moderation model fix.

The DeepSeek model name was set to a non-existent model; it now defaults to the real deepseek-chat model, and the admin AI page hint matches.

The AI provider is currently returning "401 Authentication Fails" — the DeepSeek key in the server .env needs to be a valid sk-… key from platform.deepseek.com. Once a valid key is in place, product moderation runs fully automatically: approve when the AI is confident, flag with a reason otherwise.

Fully automatic AI moderation for products.

Wholesale items now auto-approve when the AI review is confident they're fine (previously they always needed a human). Anything the AI isn't sure about is flagged with the AI's reason, and banned items are still auto-rejected.
Editing a product re-runs the AI review — a fixed or resubmitted item is re-scored automatically and approved again if it's fine, or flagged with a reason if not (previously edited items just sat in the queue with no AI check).
The AI product review now considers the campaign/business context (what the fundraiser is for, the business name, category, brand) and is prompted to catch attempts to disguise banned or illegal items with misspellings, euphemisms or vague wording.
