New Features & Core Mechanics

• Frictionless Playground (No-Auth Trial): The immediate sign-up wall has been removed. You can now jump directly into the Solarch canvas, connect nodes, and evaluate the architectural output without creating an account, up to a specific usage limit.

• Contextual Architecture Expansion: You can now right-click on the canvas to automatically expand an existing diagram. Because the canvas acts as a strict compiler, this feature includes a deterministic Accept / Reject diffing mechanism, ensuring you maintain absolute control over the generated architecture before merging it into your source of truth.

• Agent/Instruct Pricing Model: Rolled out a new, dedicated pricing structure optimized for heavy AI agent interactions and instruct-based usage.

Improvements & Developer Experience (DX)

• Interactive Onboarding: Added a streamlined, interactive tutorial for first-time users to quickly grasp the rules engine, node relationships, and the compilation process.

• Workspace & UI Expansions: Shipped several quality-of-life UI upgrades to expand the workspace, providing better visibility and control when mapping out complex systems.

Solarch is live. Design backend architecture as a validated graph, then let AI build on top of it — without hallucinated APIs.

• AI Architect — Describe what you want to build and watch a correct architecture appear on the canvas, grounded in a library of canonical patterns.
• Rules Engine — A strict, default-deny gate validates every connection. Frontends can't talk to tables; controllers can't reach repositories. Illegal edges never land.
• One canvas for the whole system — 22 node types and 16 semantic edges (CALLS, QUERIES, WRITES, PUBLISHES, and more) — not generic arrows.
• Instruct Mode — Switch modes and chat with your design. Every answer cites the exact nodes and focuses them on the canvas.
• Purpose-built editors — Double-click any node: column grids for tables, method tables for services, endpoint rows for controllers — no generic JSON forms.
• Single-home tabs — Each node lives in one place; other tabs reference it instead of copying. One source of truth, many views.
• Code Generation (Build plan) — Turn your validated graph into a real, type-safe project skeleton.
• Secure accounts — Sign-up, sign-in, and password reset with strong password rules built in.
