- The scout now reads every candidate in full — nothing is cut short. The shortening that used to trim what the ranker saw is gone: it now reads each person's complete evidence before deciding. To afford that, long offering descriptions are first boiled down to tight bullets by a cheaper, faster helper — which alone accounted for most of the reading cost. Each offering's own price is now part of the evidence, so genuinely affordable talent stops being pushed down just for being cheap, and proven ability remains the first hard gate with reputation only breaking ties.
- A talent's answer now gets a clean yes or no. The proposal review stops handing out vague grades and returns a plain pass or fail. Budget and timeline are checked by fixed rules rather than opinion — a small tolerance around your number, and a hard line on delivery that runs late — while judgement is reserved for whether the person actually understood the work.
- Budgets in another currency are converted at today's real rate. Quote a budget in euros, pounds or shekels and it is converted using a live exchange rate looked up at that moment, instead of a rate the assistant half-remembered. A range's low end now reaches the review step too.
- The talent cards show real standing — the placeholder numbers are gone. Cards now display each person's genuine rating, review count, badge and order history, or simply leave it out when it isn't known. No more invented stats and no more generic "Talent" title. The match pitch also names a judged count of similar projects and is blocked from crediting anyone with skills they never listed.
- Mira introduces herself, honestly. The very first message now opens with a short "I'm Mira, an AI agent" — you know what you're talking to from the first line.
- A past project stops bleeding into a new one. Starting a fresh project no longer silently inherits the budget and timeline from an earlier one, and brand-level visual direction is now filed as lasting brand identity rather than being trapped in a single brief.
- Deleting your data really deletes it, and the wording is honest. Account deletion now clears the leftover corners it used to miss — including uploaded files — and the profile control is relabelled to say plainly what it does. The talent inbox link opens the actual conversation with that person rather than the inbox list.
- The downloadable brief becomes a finished document. Export is now a proper format menu with PDF as the default, the page fills edge to edge with no white gaps at the top or sides, pagination is clean, uploaded images appear inline, links open, the logo points back to the site, and reference tiles get a designed masonry layout. The brief also opens at the top after you approve it.
- Small comforts across the app. The Compare toggle stays put on the talent card, card spacing settles, and the thinking strip caps itself at a few tidy rows.
- The first real production environment comes up. The crew stood up production for the first time — a database reachable only on a private network, schema updates run from inside that network, a buyer-only front door with a password gate while it warms up, and a proper certificate path.
- The plumbing gets sturdier and better watched. A connection leak that could starve the app under load is fixed with hard timeouts, live updates are kept under the size limit the delivery service enforces and retried in halves when a batch is refused, a false queue alarm is corrected, and a new monitor watches for any place text still gets cut off — with its own admin tab.
The honesty day. The scout stops trimming what it reads and now sees every candidate's full evidence — paid for by bulletizing long descriptions with a cheap helper — while cheap talent stops being punished for its price; proposal reviews return a plain pass or fail with budget and timeline judged by fixed rules; foreign budgets convert at a live rate; the cards drop their invented stats for real standing; Mira says she's an AI in her first line; deletion really deletes; the brief exports as a finished PDF; and the crew brings up the first production environment.
