More Reliable Research Gap Searches

More Reliable Research Gap Searches

Research Gap runs now recover more gracefully when an academic search provider briefly returns an unavailable response.

Improvements

  • Keep Research Gap sessions moving when one paper database search temporarily fails
  • Show a clearer temporary-service message instead of a low-level response parsing error
  • Refresh supporting API, search, and test dependencies while keeping the app build stable

More Reliable Sign-In Routes

More Reliable Sign-In Routes

Sign-in and direct chat links now handle rare client-side route loading states more reliably.

Improvements

  • Keep the sign-in page from failing when an older mobile browser hits a rare route loading edge case
  • Make direct chat links more resilient when the app primes chat data before rendering
  • Preserve the normal redirect behavior for signed-in users, verified emails, and invitation links

More Resilient Onboarding Streams

More Resilient Onboarding Streams

Onboarding chat now handles rare mobile stream reconnects more safely when a response resumes mid-sentence.

Improvements

  • Prevent rare onboarding chat errors when a browser receives a resumed text update before the matching start marker
  • Keep normal ordered streaming responses unchanged while skipping malformed partial text fragments
  • Improve test coverage for out-of-order streamed text and tool updates

Better DOI-Less Source Checks

Better DOI-Less Source Checks

Hallucination Checker now handles legitimate web sources more carefully when they do not have a DOI.

Improvements

  • Verify DOI-less references by checking cited URLs for matching page details
  • Recognize news, commentary, policy, university, and institutional pages as valid citable sources when their metadata fits
  • Mark unreachable cited URLs as ambiguous instead of automatically treating them as likely hallucinated

More Reliable Onboarding Reconnects

More Reliable Onboarding Reconnects

Onboarding chat now recovers more gracefully when a browser reconnects in the middle of an assistant response.

Improvements

  • Prevent rare onboarding chat crashes when a resumed stream starts after a tool input has already begun
  • Keep the completed onboarding action available even when partial streamed tool input is skipped during reconnection
  • Preserve normal streaming behavior for ordered chat responses and tool updates
