v8.0.0 - 2026-05-17

Ricochet v8.0.0 is a full visual and UX rebuild of the web interface, focused on making the license manager feel cleaner, sharper, and more production-ready while keeping the existing backend behavior intact.

Added

• New dark security-console visual system with graphite surfaces, crimson accents, glossy panels, glow treatment, sharper borders, and compact dashboard spacing.
• New code-native Ricochet lock-and-key SVG brand mark used across the landing page, navigation, login, footer, and empty states.
• New authenticated console shell with desktop sidebar, top utility bar, mobile drawer behavior, role-aware navigation, user menu styling, and cleaner active states.
• New public shell styling for landing, login, API docs, setup, and 404 pages.
• New landing page structure with rebuilt hero, product preview treatment, feature tiles, user/admin sections, pricing card, and final call-to-action.
• New reusable CSS primitives for cards, tables, forms, buttons, badges, modals, dropdowns, code blocks, docs sections, download cards, and status states.

Changed

• Rebuilt src/web/assets/css/ricochet.css from the ground up for a more polished LuciRift-style interface.
• Redesigned the landing page to remove the old remote hero image and replace it with the inline lock-and-key brand mark.
• Tightened landing hero typography, feature card widths, and section spacing so the page feels less oversized on desktop and mobile.
• Restyled dashboard, licenses, products, users, roles, downloads, settings, login, setup, docs, and error views to use the new visual system.
• Improved product and user modal styling, including aligned icons, cleaner option cards, better role badges, and matching modal controls.
• Improved file upload input styling so native file picker buttons match the Ricochet interface.
• Refined API documentation layout, navigation, code blocks, badges, language tabs, and copy-button styling.
• Updated footer and navigation presentation to match the new brand direction.

Fixed

• Fixed docs layout overflow where the authenticated shell could visually crowd the documentation page.
• Fixed product edit form icons so they sit inside fields instead of floating above inputs.
• Fixed user role modal alignment and option-card spacing.
• Fixed missing role badge color helpers for red and green role states.
• Fixed landing feature and audience cards being too wide on large screens.
• Fixed oversized landing hero-title text.
• Fixed browser-default file upload button styling in the product update modal.
• Fixed lock mark shackle endpoint rendering so the hoop no longer shows a small extended nub.

Notes

• This release keeps the current Express/EJS architecture, backend routes, API payloads, auth behavior, role permissions, pricing, purchase links, and docs examples intact.
• No new frontend dependencies were added.
