A "Report a Bug" dialog is now accessible from Settings and the Help menu. Submits directly to the development team with title, severity, description, steps to reproduce, and app version pre-populated. Option to attach the last 50 lines of the diagnostic log.

Projects can now be encrypted with AES-256 via Settings - Security. Password-protected on open. Designed for clients handling sensitive workplace assessment data in defence, healthcare, and regulated environments.

Project files are now auto-saved to a recovery file when unsaved changes exist. On next launch a recovery prompt offers to restore unsaved work. Interval is configurable: 15 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes.

Upload a company logo and set brand colours in Settings - applied automatically across all PDF exports. Primary/wide and icon/square logo variants supported alongside primary, secondary, and accent brand colours.

Record who contributed to each assessment and in what capacity. Accessible from the Tool Home page and the Reporting page. Names link optionally to existing Team Members or can be entered as free text.

A printable User Activity Report is now available from the Team Management page, covering assessment history, HF method competency, and digital evidence with SHA-256 project file hash. Designed for CPD and certification evidence.

Two new guided walkthrough scenario documents added to the Library - a warehouse ergonomics scenario and a defence manufacturing scenario, each stepping through a real assessment workflow tool by tool.

A technical reference document covering ErgoSense Core calculation methods, formula derivations, lookup tables, and noise gate behaviour is now available in the Library.

When a licence expires, projects can now be opened in read-only mode to view and review existing work. Saving is disabled until a valid licence is restored.

ErgoSphere now enforces a single running instance - launching a second copy brings the existing window to the front rather than opening a duplicate.

The Library now renders documents in an embedded WebView2 viewer rather than launching external PDF files, keeping users in-app and protecting proprietary content from casual export.

The Hierarchical Task Analysis editor has been redesigned with floating rounded section cards, a resizable split panel between tree and detail views, and SVG icons throughout.

Home page layout and visual hierarchy refined under the Harry light theme.

Dialog and pop-out window corner styles audited across the full application. All popups, flyouts, and floating dialogs now share a consistent rounded corner treatment.

Diagnostic logging is now enabled by default on fresh installs. The log captures app errors only - no project data, no personally identifiable information.

Corrupt tool entries in a project file no longer prevent the entire project from loading. Unaffected tools load normally with a warning identifying what could not be recovered.

Internal API credentials are no longer stored as readable strings in the application binary.

The licence key is now encrypted on disk using Windows DPAPI.

First-time users no longer see an unsaved-changes indicator on launch.

22 background methods converted to properly handled async tasks. Errors now surface through normal error handling rather than disappearing silently.

ErgoLens pages now correctly release network resources when navigating away.

Fixed a potential for settings file corruption when multiple application instances were running simultaneously.
