Changelog

All notable changes to the Aura Trading Journal. We follow semantic versioning and industry best practices for platform transparency.

v0.7.2May 17, 2026

Provider-Adaptive Vault Recovery & Security Hardening

Added

  • Automated Password-Based Recovery: Created a secure, server-verified password re-authentication action allowing email/password users to self-recover and disable forgotten Vault PINs.
  • Provider-Adaptive Lock Screen: Updated the vault UI to automatically present a tailored Google SSO re-verification flow for social login users instead of a password input.
  • E2E Credential Hardening: Standardized E2E test specs to load credentials via environment variables rather than hardcoded plain-text.
  • Dynamic Discipline Heatmap: Calibrated the calendar dashboard to dynamically compute streak durations and profitability multipliers from active trading histories.
  • Dynamic AI Coach Briefings: Swapped hardcoded coaching warnings for dynamic, real-time psychological leaks and tactical actions generated by Gemini.

Security

  • Strict Session-Lock Email Validation: Enforced a rigorous server-side verification intercept on Google OAuth callbacks. If a different Google account is chosen during vault recovery, the server instantly terminates the session, logs out the wrong account, and redirects to a secure mismatch warning.
v0.7.1May 17, 2026

High-Fidelity Syncing & Neural Integrity UX Update

Added

  • Active Sentiment Analysis Loader: Built an animated, responsive loading panel for daily journal sentiment audits, communicating active scanning of cognitive leaks and behavioral patterns.
