Intelligence

v2.1 Planner Intelligence Upgrade

A significant overhaul of the AI recommendation layer — the planner now synthesizes a broader operational context before generating job assignment recommendations, producing more precise and explainable suggestions.

AI recommendation reasoning is now fully visible in the operator review panel
Constraint evaluation order optimized — hard rules apply faster and more predictably
New: priority scoring considers historical throughput patterns alongside current queue state
Improved explainability: every suggestion now includes the top 3 factors behind it
Minor: reduced latency on summary generation for large queue depths

Intake

v2.0 Multi-Channel Order Normalization Expansion

The intake layer now handles a broader set of channel input formats, with improved sanitization logic for common Etsy and Shopify edge cases that previously required manual correction.

New: Shopify webhook order intake with automatic field mapping
Improved Etsy CSV parser — handles variant string inconsistencies in 14 new formats
Sanitization flags are now categorized: data-error, missing-field, ambiguous-value
Batch resolution summary UI redesigned for faster operator review
API intake endpoint now available for direct integrations (documented separately)

v1.5 Fleet Visibility Module — Live Printer State

The fleet module reaches its first production milestone — real-time printer state tracking, assignment awareness, and maintenance logging, with a redesigned command center surface that makes fleet health visible at a glance.

Live printer status: active, idle, offline, and maintenance-flagged states
Per-printer job tracking: active job, progress estimate, and material loaded state
Maintenance event log — record service events with timestamps and notes
Maintenance window awareness integrated into constraint evaluation
Fleet summary widget now featured on the command center home view

Platform

v1.0 Platform Foundation — Initial Architecture

PrintFarmAI's core pipeline goes live. The initial release establishes the foundational architecture: intake layer, sanitization engine, SKU mapping, deterministic planner, and basic queue management — the operating system for a modern print farm.

Core intake pipeline: ingest, sanitize, normalize order records
SKU mapping engine: translate channel identifiers to internal production records
Deterministic planner: constraint-first evaluation before any recommendation
Basic queue management: view, sort, prioritize, and assign jobs
Command center home view: key metrics, priority flags, and quick navigation
