New Shopify Authentication

Shopify retired our previous auth method at the beginning of 2026; existing integrations kept working, but new connections were blocked until we implemented OAuth. Connecting now uses a "Connect" button → Shopify Install App → permissions prompt → redirect back. Disconnect is a button + save.

Control: Optional PDF Grids

If we can't detect a grid on a drawing, you no longer get blocked — the grid (and per-annotation grid locations) are now optional.

Control: Edit annotations on in-progress operations

You can now edit bubble annotations on in-progress / completed / cancelled operations whether or not responses exist. Editing target values or tolerances can retroactively flag responses as out-of-tolerance. We still block edits that would categorically invalidate existing responses (e.g. changing a numerical checkpoint to a checkbox).

Control: Internal-only notes on annotations

Internal-only notes on annotations carry through to the BOM/Routing IPT step, the Job Tracker IPT tab, the Quality tab on the job page, and the Inspection Plan download.

Control: Basic Dimension Type

New Basic dimension type in the bubbler — basic callouts are always relative to a specific GD&T feature, have no tolerance, and are assumed in-tolerance when recorded in the job tracker.

Work Order Creation: Jobs sort by soonest due date

Jobs now sort by soonest due date by default, with no-due-date jobs at the bottom. No more scrolling past next year's jobs to find today's jobs. Death to clicks.

"Lights Out"

What we used to call "Can Run Unattended" is now "Lights Out" everywhere it shows up (Equipment, Operation, Work Center, Work Order, BOM routing side panel). The underlying property is unchanged, but the new label is much clearer for shops setting it for the first time.

Smarter Purchase Recommendations in the Raw Material Size Selector

Three changes to make recommendations match how shops actually buy:

  • Reservation-aware recommendations. The selector now subtracts inventory that's already committed to jobs with existing POs. 10 sheets on hand, 7 already committed → only 3 count as available.
  • Weight-based supplementation. When a job consumes more material than originally estimated, the standard calculation can underestimate demand. The selector now detects these cases and supplements with a weight-based estimate; the tooltip flags when it does.
  • Clearer recommendation tooltips. Full breakdown — required quantity, on-hand inventory, quantity reserved for existing jobs, and the final recommended purchase quantity.

CreatedUtc on the FileAttachment GET endpoint. Folks vibe-coding against the Public API needed the file creation date exposed.

Navigation & UI: Mobile/Tablet Nav

Mobile / tablet nav closes automatically after you tap a page. The old behavior required tapping the close icon manually, which was a constant annoyance on smaller screens.

Control: In Progress Job Flexibility - Delete Checkpoint

You can now delete bubble annotations (along with their associated IPT checkpoints) from in-progress jobs even if there are already responses recorded against the checkpoint. Those responses will be deleted along with the checkpoint. We'll highlight the delete buttons in red and provide a warning tooltip if the user is about to delete a checkpoint with responses logged to it, in order to mitigate accidental deletions
