  • Planned 0 on the plan for the release it is filed under
  • Built 297 built and working in /lab (the dev builds). Whether the public has it is its reach: "in the lab", "Live" (the last gate) or "switched off"; see docs/REACH-LIVE.md
  • Partly built 0 part of it is built in /lab; the rest waits (see "Waits on")
  • Promised 0 the live site already says it is coming
  • Moved 0 moved here from an earlier release or wishlist
  • Found 0 bug found after a release shipped; fixed in a point release or the next one
  • Candidate 0 recommended in a spike or session log; owner to choose
  • Community please test 0 built and in /use; a Discord post gives the steps and the expected result and asks people to try it on their own devices, files or know-how
  • Decision Time 0 a decision, check, file, key, flag or go only you can give; folds into the list once answered

Built means built and working in the lab. Live means the public can use it, and is the last gate: 293 Built · Live, 4 Built · in the lab.

A box in each app to ask or instruct in plain words — "show me every 2-hour wall", "12 by 16 room, 3-foot door centred on the south wall" — sent to the AI the person connected, which answers with the app's own tools: it selects, highlights in 3D or draws, each change one undo step.

FeatureFL.0 Link to FL.0 Field packs: one add-on kind that sets up every app for an engineering field

A data-only add-on kind `field` (cadcraft-field-pack v1): a manifest that lists, per host, the pieces a field needs — symbols, families, standard parts, templates, standards packs (REG.1 format), calc sheets (EG.18), Problems rules, lessons (EG.23), a skill pack (AC.5), a layout (WS.17), generators (CE), a sample file — and installs them in one step in every app and SuperCad Studio; a Fields page in the add-on directory with honest coverage cards; a build tool that assembles a pack from its sources; tests.
