"Frontend updates actually ship again. Since roughly v1.7.17 the release pipeline had been rebuilding the backend every version but silently skipping the frontend bundle — a permissions issue on the build server meant the TypeScript compile failed before vite ever ran, so every published tarball carried the same frozen v1.7.9-era UI. The backend moved forward; the UI didn't.",
"Once this lands, your node gets the real current frontend: the FIPS Seed Anchors modal (gear icon on the FIPS Mesh card), the cancel-download button, the anchor-status fix, and every What's New entry for releases in between.",
"The build pipeline now grep-verifies the packaged tarball actually contains the new version string before any commit or push, so a silently-stale bundle can't slip through again."
