Changelog

Per-Set Form-Check Videos

Athletes can now attach a form-check video to any set inside a completed session. Videos travel with the set (exercise, set number, session, week), so coaches review them in-context in the Workout Sessions panel and the Weekly Review video linker — no more fuzzy-matching clips from chat. Videos default to a form-check pool that auto-deletes after 30 days and does not count against coach storage; coaches can promote any video to Kept (or pin it into a weekly review) to persist it permanently against their Pro/Expert video storage quota.

Analytics charts now show IronLedger-logged workouts

Fixed a bug where athlete progress charts (e1RM Progression, Training Volume) and coach-side analytics silently dropped workouts logged from the IronLedger mobile app. The two apps share a Supabase project but use different set field names — the aggregation code now handles both formats. Affects /client/progress, /dashboard/analytics, client detail pages, and AI insight prompts.

View Analytics Shortcut on Client Page

A "View Analytics" link now appears next to each client's name on the client detail page. Clicking it navigates directly to the Analytics dashboard pre-filtered to that specific client — no more manually selecting the client from the dropdown.

Expandable Session Cards

The Workout Sessions tab on client detail pages now shows expandable cards. Click any session to see full exercise details — sets, reps, weights, e1RM calculations, client notes per exercise, session notes, and coach feedback. Replaces the previous flat list that only showed exercise names and set counts.

Client Soft-Delete with Grace Period

Coaches can now remove clients with a 30-day grace period. Removed clients appear in a collapsible "Removed Clients" section with a restore button and countdown. After 30 days, all data is permanently deleted including Mux video assets. Coaches can restore clients at any time during the grace period.

Video Storage Management

Duration-based video storage with tier limits (Pro: 60 min, Expert: 300 min). Storage meter and retention settings in Settings. $5/month add-on blocks for additional storage via Stripe. Auto-delete expired videos based on coach-configured retention policy (3, 6, 12 months, or never). Transcripts and text notes are preserved permanently.

Weekly Review System

Coaches can now create weekly reviews for each client with a template-driven workspace. Features include: customizable review templates (8 sections — session details, client notes, training videos, volume trends, block progress, AI summary, coach video, coach text notes), 3 starter templates (Quick Check, Weekly Review, Deep Dive), in-app video recorder (webcam, screen share, or both), AI-powered session summaries with block context via Claude, and a "Clients Ready for Review" dashboard widget. Athletes receive reviews in a dedicated Reviews page with coach video playback and transcript.

RIR/RPE Auto-Detection in Program Builder

The program builder now automatically detects whether a value is RIR or RPE based on the number entered. Values 0-4 default to RIR, values above 4 or decimals default to RPE. Previously, coaches had to type the "RIR" suffix explicitly for it to be recognized.

Connection Requests Page Fix

Fixed the Connection Requests page showing an infinite loading spinner. The page now handles database query errors gracefully with a fallback query and error banner, instead of leaving coaches stuck on a loading screen.

Video Upload Limit Increased to 200MB

Increased the maximum video file size from 100MB to 200MB for chat video uploads. Added clear error messages when file type or size validation fails — previously the file was silently dropped with no feedback.

Error Handling Overhaul

Eliminated 23 silent failures across the app. Added toast notification system for user-facing errors. Fixed: notification delivery failures now show warnings, clipboard actions show success/failure, data fetch errors show error states instead of misleading empty states, alert dismiss verifies server response before updating UI. Added Sentry tracking to all error paths.

Video Transcription & Chapters

Coach video feedback is now automatically transcribed with timestamped segments using Mux auto-captions. AI-generated chapters (via Claude Haiku) are added to videos, allowing coaches and athletes to jump to specific topics. Transcript panel with click-to-seek added to both coach and athlete video detail modals.

Nutrition Plan Autosave

Nutrition plans now auto-save after 3 seconds of inactivity with a save status indicator, matching the program builder behavior. No more lost work when navigating away.

Exercise Library Expansion
