https://madwolfstudios.com/dev-log/ Development journal from Madwolf Studios — what changed, what was learned and what's next on MadScope, WOLFCANI and No Respawn in War. en-us Sun, 11 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://madwolfstudios.com/dev-log/#madscope-preview-download https://madwolfstudios.com/dev-log/#madscope-preview-download Sun, 11 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Madalin Dinu Windows, macOS and Linux downloads on the MadScope project page now point at the v1.1.1-preview.1 prerelease — the first build that contains the Default theme rename and the About panel. • Every installer link (Windows MSI/EXE, macOS Apple Silicon + Intel DMG, Linux AppImage/DEB) now targets the v1.1.1-preview.1 prerelease (source commit 0141abc, built end-to-end by the repository’s own Release pipeline in GitHub Actions run 38164006725, full SHA-256 hashes published on the release page) • A notice above the download grid states the current build (v1.1.1-preview.1) and explains that the antivirus report concerned the older v1.1.0 installer only — a behavioral-heuristic trigger, not a malware signature, believed to be a false positive; with the current build that issue is gone (clean Kaspersky scans, 0 detections across 807 objects) and it runs without alerts on the maintainer’s Windows 11 PC with Kaspersky active, with a SHA-256 check offered for extra assurance • The previous v1.1.0 release, its seven assets and every existing tag remain untouched on GitHub — one click away via the notice’s previous-release link https://madwolfstudios.com/dev-log/#madscope-screenshot-gallery https://madwolfstudios.com/dev-log/#madscope-screenshot-gallery Sun, 11 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Madalin Dinu The MadScope project page gained a “MadScope in action” gallery — a scrollable, swipeable carousel of genuine captures, grouped and labelled by the exact build each frame came from. • Added a “MadScope in action” section with two build-labelled groups: a preview build (commit 0141abc) captured from the real running application, and the published v1.1.0 release build • Every slide carries a visible version label and the group heading states the build, so a preview frame can never be mistaken for a released one — the two builds are never mixed in one group • The ten preview captures were taken from the actual app running at this commit (1440×900, real Chromium renders of this public page): main interface, diagnostics, mobile findings, copy-all and AI-report feedback, a genuine connection-refused error, all three themes and the About panel • Accessibility and behaviour are verified in a real browser: previous/next with correct disabled states, arrow-key and Home/End browsing on the focused track, a neon-green focus ring, a polite live counter, click-to-enlarge lightbox with keyboard navigation and focus return, honouring of prefers-reduced-motion, no autoplay, and touch swipe on a 390px viewport with no page overflow • Provenance is auditable: public/screenshots/preview-0141abc/MANIFEST.md records the source commit, capture environment and per-file captions, and scripts/verify-gallery.mjs fails the build if any filename, caption or version label drifts from that manifest • No new application version or release was cut — the preview frames represent an unreleased build and are labelled as such https://madwolfstudios.com/dev-log/#madscope-default-theme-about https://madwolfstudios.com/dev-log/#madscope-default-theme-about Sun, 11 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Madalin Dinu The original theme is now called Default, and the app gained an About panel with the real version, license and project links. • Renamed the original theme’s visible label from Existing to Default — the internal id and the localStorage key are untouched, so preferences saved by earlier releases keep working • Added an About MadScope panel above the footer: short description, Madwolf Studios with a link to the official website, source on GitHub, the actual app version (1.1.0), the MIT license with a link to the license text, and acknowledgments for Playwright, Chromium, React, Vite, Tauri and Tailwind CSS • Every value in the panel is sourced from the repository itself and guarded by unit tests, so the version or license can never silently drift • Verified in a real browser: the selector shows exactly Default, Terminal and Light; the panel renders correctly in all three themes; the theme survives reloads; and legacy saved ids still apply — 19/19 live checks and 62/62 automated tests pass • Small polish only: no new version or release was cut for this change https://madwolfstudios.com/dev-log/#madscope-v1-1-0-themes-diagnostics https://madwolfstudios.com/dev-log/#madscope-v1-1-0-themes-diagnostics Fri, 09 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Madalin Dinu MadScope v1.1.0 adds three selectable themes and turns diagnostics into plain, copyable text — including a structured AI-ready inspection report. • Added a theme selector with exactly three themes: Existing (the original dark design, still the default), Terminal (near-black green-tinted, monospaced technical elements) and Light — instant switching, persisted across restarts, no flash of the default theme • Diagnostics are now plain selectable text listing every finding per viewport, with copy buttons on each row plus copy-all and copy-selected actions • Added an AI-ready inspection report: structured plain text with only fields the engine really knows (URL, viewport, device profile, timestamp, health score, diagnostics source, per-finding severity/selector/evidence) — paste it straight into a coding agent • Copy feedback reports success only after the clipboard write actually succeeded, with a fallback for browsers that block the async Clipboard API • Validated live against this project page in a real browser: all three themes, persistence across reload, a real mobile inspection, and every copy path; screenshots in the MadScope repo are genuine captures • CI now runs a production build in addition to typecheck, lint and the full test suite (57/57 passing) https://madwolfstudios.com/dev-log/#madscope-v1-0-1-launch https://madwolfstudios.com/dev-log/#madscope-v1-0-1-launch Thu, 08 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Madalin Dinu MadScope is out as a public MIT-licensed tool: installers for Windows, macOS and Linux, a tested GitHub Action, and downloads on the project page. • Published the MadScope repository with the full engine: Chromium rendering, screenshots, issue detection, health score and visual regression • Shipped v1.0.1 desktop installers built on CI — Windows MSI/EXE, macOS ARM64 + Intel DMG, Linux AppImage/DEB — with the engine bundled so nothing extra needs installing • Verified the packaged Windows build end to end: install, launch, engine startup and a real scan • Added the madscope-action with screenshot, baseline and test modes plus JSON outputs; its own CI covers capture, passing and intentionally failing runs • Added real release downloads and an automation section to the MadScope project page, with checksums on every release • macOS builds are unsigned for now — Gatekeeper needs a right-click Open until signing is set up https://madwolfstudios.com/dev-log/#wolfcani-dashboard-calendar-reminders https://madwolfstudios.com/dev-log/#wolfcani-dashboard-calendar-reminders Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Madalin Dinu WOLFCANI gained a dashboard overview, a calendar that reaches beyond the current month and reminders that fire ahead of an event. • Calendar navigation now steps month by month or year by year, with direct jumps to any month and a one-click return to today • Events can repeat every number of days, weeks or months and carry an optional start time • Reminders are set per event — minutes, hours, days or weeks in advance, with the exact fire date and time previewed before saving • Upcoming events surface as in-app reminder toasts; browser notifications stay behind an explicit permission button • The Pomodoro timer moved onto the dashboard and keeps running while you switch sections or reload the page • Added a clock widget with digital and analog modes plus accent, glow and size settings • The Focus screen was removed from the navigation — its timer and settings now live on the dashboard https://madwolfstudios.com/dev-log/#site-production-readiness https://madwolfstudios.com/dev-log/#site-production-readiness Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Madalin Dinu A technical pass across metadata, page delivery, loading behaviour and production configuration. • Every page now ships its own title, description and social sharing tags • Pages render to static HTML at build time — crawlers and link previews receive full content without JavaScript, backed by a sitemap and canonical URLs • Unknown URLs now return a real 404 instead of a placeholder page • The typeface loads from our own domain — one less third-party request on every page • Production configuration strengthened: security headers and long-lived caching for static assets • Project pages gained a quick-answers section with factual summaries (starting with WOLFCANI) • Launched this development log — future WOLFCANI and No Respawn in War updates land here
