  • 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

  • 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

Every fix and feature

Grouped by track. App chips carry each app’s layer colour; Studio is in ink. "Waits on" names what has to happen first; the small lines under it say who asked and where the item is written up.

Decision Time 25
DecisionLC.11 Link to LC.11 Media and entertainment

Character animation and production tracking (Maya, Flow Production Tracking): leave out, or fold into SuperCadCraft’s scope. Suggestions 2026-10-22: Asked on /suggest (#766, Oct 17): entertainment lighting plots, mainly 2D (fixture symbols, rigging plots), 3D a lower priority; the usual program is about £1,620 a year with no way to own it. Track SX 2026-10-27: the lighting-plot ask (#766) moved to SU.766; this item keeps animation and production tracking.

DecisionDEC-1 Link to DEC-1 Name the Live feature

Pick the final name for Live / Work together. DECISION (owner, 2026-10-25): "Live TeamWork". To do: rename Studio Live / Work together in Studio, the apps' shell and help, the site copy (Catalog, /studio, /pricing, FAQ) and the language files.
