Public site relaunch on cadenza.media: new landing narrative, documentation portal, build board, trust center, pricing policies, and legal pages.
Public beta announcement.

Look Lock staged generation: text to an inspectable, provenance-signed hero-frame still, then that exact frame animated by reference-driven image-to-video. Both stages policy-routed with failover.

Cinematic Research Engine: idiom selection, timecoded edit timelines, frame-rate and shutter feel, depth layers, color finishing, weighted artifact-risk scoring, and a quality rubric on every plan.
Runway becomes the fourth encoder; image-to-video routing goes live.
New tools: plan_director_prompt, animate_image, list_models.
Physics layer: camera math, motion blur in pixels, depth of field limits, gait law, all folded into prompts as natural cinematography.

General availability of the core engine: share and remix pages with brand-fact scrubbing, model-outage failover proven by chaos drill, concurrency load gate, billing tiers as configuration, and quality feedback into routing suggestions.

Publish layer: four platforms, platform-correct export derivation, safety and confirmation gates.
Real authentication: Google, GitHub, and magic link, with user profiles.
Agent surface: REST API v1, MCP server (stdio and remote OAuth 2.1), Claude Code plugin, and the no-credential connect flow.

Trust and safety hardening passes its red-team gate: input guard, output guard with provenance and watermarking, hash chained audit log.
Continuity store, Story Intelligence, multi-model routing, and the 14 Director Modes with auto-selection.
