What shipped, when, and why. Hand-curated highlights — fix-typo commits stay out of the changelog. Every entry links to the PR if you want to see the actual diff.
Added onJobId callback to orchestrator so the operator UI can render the cancel button immediately after job creation, not only after completion. The cancel endpoint updates the DB status to "cancelled" and writes an audit row. Cooperative cancellation — having the orchestrator poll the status mid-run and abort an in-flight build — is still in progress, so today an already-running build completes naturally even after Cancel is hit.
Critical fix: the operator at /admin/factory was only parsing intent, never invoking the full build pipeline. Now streams from /orchestrate SSE end-to-end.

Operator can resume an interrupted interview from localStorage, project a live manifest preview as you chat, and apply natural-language refinements after a build.
Help center at /factory/help, sample app gallery at /factory/showcase, audit drilldown helpers at /admin/factory/audit. Video tutorials, weekly digest builder, and onboarding email drip listed in the original summary did not ship and remain roadmap.
