Changelog

All notable changes to ResellerHub are recorded here.

The format follows Keep a Changelog, and the project uses Semantic Versioning.

The version shown in the app comes from config/version.php — read it with app_version(). Never hardcode a version string anywhere else.

2.0.0 — 2026-08-16

A full interface redesign, a rebuilt real-time chat, a real documentation pipeline, and the groundwork for selling the platform white-labelled.

Added

• Apple-grade design system. Self-hosted Inter Variable, Apple system colours, optical letter-spacing, the 8pt grid, continuous-corner radii, a Liquid Glass material layer and one spring curve throughout. Documented in Docs/DESIGN-SYSTEM.md.
• Dark mode that works. The app already shipped a toggle that followed the OS, but not one of the 168 views supported it.
• 21 live data tables across all four portals — debounced search, sortable columns, URL-persisted filters, distinct empty states, no page reloads.
• Real-time chat on Laravel Reverb: typing indicators as client-side whispers, presence, attachments, voice notes, threaded replies, emoji reactions, per-person read receipts, staff-only internal notes and canned /shortcuts.
• Command palette (⌘K) with keyboard navigation, shared across portals.
• Documentation portal: instant ⌘K search, scroll-spy table of contents, copy buttons on code blocks, video embeds, captioned images, prev/next.
• White-label branding via config/brand.php and BRAND_* variables, resolving system settings → environment → config, so a tenant can rebrand from the admin UI without a deploy.
• Centralised version in config/version.php, surfaced by app_version() and rendered at /changelog.
• Redesigned Terms and Privacy with a sticky table of contents and brand substitution.
• Favicons — an SVG icon that follows the colour scheme, apple-touch-icon, mask icon and theme colour. No layout had declared any of these.
• LICENSE — the software is proprietary, © Ochieng Brandon.

Changed

• Tailwind 3 → 4. Both were installed, with v3 doing the work and v4 unwired.
• Five near-identical portal layouts collapsed into one shell driven by config/portals.php, cutting roughly 900 lines.
• Chat reduced from 8 routes to 3; inbox and thread now share one screen.
• Admin and reseller dashboards lead with what needs a decision, not with totals.
• Documentation markdown renders once on save into content_html.

Fixed

• Broadcast authorisation never existed. routes/channels.php was absent, so every private channel subscription was rejected and /broadcasting/auth was never mounted — the reason chat never updated without a reload.
• php artisan view:cache had never succeeded, because six Blade components referenced by the scaffolding did not exist. Production view caching was silently broken.
• The notification bell always showed zero. It queried a model that does not exist, on a column the table does not have, inside a catch that hid both errors.
• The marketing "my resellers" list was always empty. registered_by was missing from ResellerProfile::$fillable, so mass-assignment protection dropped it and the column stayed null.
• Lead conversion always failed validation — the button posted no converted_user_id, which the controller requires.
• Admin "top resellers" figures were meaningless — the subquery correlated users.id against reseller_profiles.id.
• Pending commission always read zero — it filtered on a status value that is not in the schema.
• The "Issue license" button was hidden from everyone, gated on a permission that does not exist.
• Documentation rendered unstyled. @tailwindcss/typography was never installed, so ~25 prose-* classes were inert.
• Docs sidebar section dots were invisible — the colour was interpolated into a class name at runtime, which Tailwind cannot see.
• The Open Graph image 404'd, so every shared link had a blank card.
• The leads table rendered two columns that are not on the model.
• rnact() was a global function declared in two nav partials with the same name and different return values.
• Removed the admin login link from the public footer.

Security

• Cleared all 48 dependency advisories across 14 packages. Three were high severity and each mapped onto code this app runs: a CRLF injection in Laravel's default email rule, a CommonMark denial of service via colliding heading slugs, and a Guzzle host-check bypass.

Removed

• ChatService, ChatRepository, ChatRepositoryInterface and ChatMessageSent, superseded by ConversationService.
• Flatpickr, previously fetched from a CDN at runtime on every form page.
• Google Fonts CDN requests; fonts are self-hosted.
• Per-row ui-avatars.com requests; initials render locally.
