Changelog

Annual billing, async video jobs, and agent interop

• ✓Annual billing — two months free — Every paid plan can now be billed yearly at 10× the monthly price. A Monthly/Annual toggle in Settings shows the effective monthly rate and yearly total.
• ✓Pay As You Go, self-serve — Switch to PAYG (a prepaid balance) straight from Settings and top up — no more dead-end checkout. Switch back to Free anytime; your balance stays on the account.
• ✓Async video recording — Add async: true to /api/v1/video to get a job ID instantly instead of waiting. Poll /jobs/:id or register a webhook for job.completed / job.failed. Quota is charged only on success.
• ✓Works with page-agent & browser-use — /observe now speaks the FlatDomTree format (format: "flatdomtree"), and POST /sequences/import turns an agent’s action trace into a re-runnable PageBolt sequence. New pagebolt-page-agent package records a page-agent run and replays it as a narrated video.
• ✓Re-reveal API keys for 24 hours — Lost the key you just created? Reveal it again from Settings for 24 hours after creation.
• ✓PageBolt Recorder Chrome extension — A new extension page: record a browser flow once and replay it as a sequence or narrated video, including behind logins.
• ✓Free screenshot tool, no key needed — /tools/screenshot now runs 5 captures/day with no signup, plus dunning + win-back emails so lapsed plans get a nudge back.

Gallery is live, a smarter Act, and a calmer dashboard

• ✓Gallery — shareable links for everything you capture — Save screenshots, PDFs, and videos from the Playground and get a hosted, branded link at pagebolt.dev/a/:id (and /v/:id for videos). No more hosting the file yourself — copy a link or grab an <iframe> embed in one click.
• ✓Private by default, fully managed — Hosted assets are owner-only unless you make them public, and auto-expire by plan so storage never piles up. PageBolt runs the storage — there’s nothing for you to configure or pay for separately.
• ✓Act now uses the whole toolbox on its own — The agentic /v1/act loop can now decide, mid-run, to observe, inspect, extract content, or take a screenshot — the same tools your MCP server exposes — and returns them as artifacts. Goal in plain English, agent picks the right tool.
• ✓Dashboard refresh — A softer, less neon interface (lime kept as an accent), a decluttered Overview, and a two-column Playground that greets you and explains what to do. Gallery cards are cleaner too: click the preview to open, with compact icon actions for copy, embed, re-run, and delete.

Playground redesign: Act-first + Gallery

• ✓Goal-first Act hero — Describe what you want in plain English at the top of the Playground. PageBolt runs /v1/act, shows a live step trace, and captures a final-page screenshot.
• ✓Gallery — Save screenshots and PDFs from the Playground to hosted shareable links at pagebolt.dev/a/:id. Videos from /video appear in the same grid.
• ✓All tools, one row — Flattened tool switcher adds Extract and Audit alongside Act, Observe, and the sequence/video builder. Example-goal chips and tool presets prefill forms in one click.
• ✓Console output fix — includeConsole is visible on Inspect and Observe; results render a consistent console panel when the API returns browser logs.
• ✓Act enabled in production — Set ACT_ENABLED=true in your server environment (see .env.example).

Hosted & embeddable videos

• ✓Share videos with a URL — Add host: true to /video and PageBolt hosts the recording at a branded pagebolt.dev/v/:id watch page — no more hosting the MP4 yourself.
• ✓Drop-in embed — Every hosted video comes with an embed_url for an <iframe>, plus a range-aware direct file_url that scrubs and seeks like any web video.
• ✓Private by default — Hosted videos are owner-only unless you opt in with host: "public". They auto-expire by plan (Free 7 days, Hobby 30, Starter/Growth/Scale 90) so storage never piles up.

Console Capture & MCP v1.14.0

• ✓Capture browser console output — /observe and /inspect now accept an opt-in includeConsole flag that returns the page’s console.log/info/warn/error output plus uncaught JavaScript errors emitted during load — so you can debug a page’s runtime behavior, not just its static DOM. No extra request.
• ✓Visible in the dashboard playground — A new “Console” toggle on the Inspect and Observe explorers surfaces a colour-coded console panel (errors, warnings, logs) right alongside the element map.
• ✓MCP server v1.14.0 — observe_page and inspect_page expose includeConsole and render the captured console inside the existing untrusted-content boundary.

auth.md Agent Self-Registration & Agent Perception

• ✓Agents can self-register for an API key — PageBolt now implements auth.md, the open protocol for agentic registration. An AI agent obtains a PageBolt key on a user’s behalf through an email one-time-code claim — no signup form. The user reads a 6-digit code from their inbox and hands it back to the agent; only then is a key minted. Read the post →
• ✓Discovery documents — Standard OAuth discovery at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource and /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server, a prose /auth.md, and a WWW-Authenticate header on API 401s so an agent can discover how to register the moment it hits an unauthenticated request.
• ✓Session-aware observation — /observe and /inspect now accept a session_id so an agent can perceive the live state of an ongoing browser session — mid-flow, after logging in or navigating — instead of a fresh page load.
• ✓New press_key action — Sequences and video recordings can now send keyboard keys (Enter, Escape, Tab, arrows), so agents can dismiss popovers and submit forms without a click target.
• ✓MCP server v1.9.1 — sharper perception guidance — Updated server instructions tell agents to re-perceive (observe / screenshot) between steps and to commit to or dismiss any dropdown, popover, or modal before continuing — fixing the common case where an open menu obscured later actions.
• ✓Prompt-injection hardening — Observation output returned through the MCP server is now framed as untrusted page content, with a documented security note so agents treat on-page text as data, not instructions.
• ✓Public /observe demo — Try observation with no signup at /observe-demo — paste any URL and see the agent-ready observation it returns.

Agent Observation API & MCP v1.9.0

• ✓Agent Observation API — New POST /api/v1/observe endpoint, purpose-built for AI agents. In one page load it returns a compact, token-budgeted observation: id-indexed interactive elements (role, name, CSS selector, state), a heuristic page-type classification (login, signup, search, article, form, generic), and grouped suggested actions. Optional flags bundle readable content (Markdown), the ARIA tree, and a screenshot in the same request. A typical login page is ~300 tokens — far cheaper than a raw screenshot or full DOM. Costs 1 request, available on all plans.
• ✓The headless perception layer for the agentic web — Browser-native standards like WebMCP only work for sites that instrument themselves and require a visible browser tab. /observe turns any un-instrumented URL into agent-ready structure, server-side. Feed the returned selectors straight into /api/v1/sequence to act.
• ✓MCP server v1.9.0 — New observe_page tool so Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf can drive headless page perception directly. Updated server guidance to prefer observe_page over inspect_page for agent workflows.
• ✓Docs & reference — Full documentation for /observe, plus backfilled reference sections for /extract, /audit, /aria, and /diff in the AI-readable llms.txt / llms-full.txt.
• ✓Now 11 APIs in one key — /observe joins screenshots, PDFs, OG images, sequences, video, inspect, extract, audit, ARIA, and diff — all included on every plan.

Visual Diff API, Automation Rename & Audit Fixes

• ✓Visual Diff API — New POST /api/v1/diff endpoint. Send two URLs (or HTML strings) and get a pixel-level diff image with changed pixels highlighted in red, plus changed_pct, changed_pixels, and total_pixels metrics. Supports all standard options (viewport, dark mode, banner blocking, cookies, etc.). Costs 1 request.
• ✓Visual Diff fix — Fixed a bug where the Visual Diff tool failed silently. Puppeteer 23 returns Uint8Array from page.screenshot(), but pngjs requires a Node.js Buffer. Now wraps the result with Buffer.from().
• ✓Dashboard: “Automation” rename — Renamed “Sequence & Video” to “Automation” across the dashboard. The toggle is now framed as an output mode choice: screenshots/PDFs or recorded video.
• ✓SDK visibility — Added official SDK callouts to the homepage and dashboard. Node.js (npm install pagebolt) and Python (pip install pagebolt) install hints with docs links.
• ✓MCP server v1.8.2 — Fixed list_devices property paths, list_sessions JSON parsing, PDF blob returns in sequences, and standardized error handling. Added request timeouts (120s) and retry logic for 429/5xx.
• ✓Pricing accuracy — Corrected PAYG pricing from flat “$0.01/req” to per-endpoint breakdown. Updated Growth API key limit from 5 to 10, Scale from 5 to 25. Fixed “6 tools” → “7 APIs” on the Try page.
• ✓Trial safety net fix — Fixed undefined db.endTrial in the trial expiry safety net. Cookie banner blocking now covers custodia-privacy.com.

UX Polish, SDK Docs & Login Fix

• ✓SDK documentation — Added Node.js/TypeScript and Python SDK docs to /docs with installation, quick start, error handling, and async examples. New “SDKs” section in the sidebar nav.
• ✓Docs search — Full-text search box in the docs top navigation bar. Filters sidebar links as you type. Supports ⌘K / Ctrl+K shortcut, Esc to clear.
• ✓Hobby plan free trial — The $9/mo Hobby tier now supports 14-day free trials, matching Starter and Growth. Signup with ?plan=hobby auto-redirects to Stripe checkout with trial.
• ✓Login no longer blocks unverified emails — Previously, logging in with an unverified email returned a 403 and refused entry. Now it sets the auth cookie and redirects to the dashboard (with a verification banner), matching the signup flow’s low-friction behavior.
• ✓Password visibility toggle — The eye icon on login and signup forms is now correctly positioned inside the input field (right-aligned, vertically centered). Previously rendered as a misaligned box due to browser default button styles.
• ✓Billing page improvements — Pricing card CTAs are now bottom-aligned regardless of feature list length. Removed the meaningless “Manage billing” button from the Free tier card.
• ✓Fixed “first request” banner — The “Your first request worked!” celebration banner was incorrectly showing for all users with any usage history, not just after the actual first request. Now correctly tied to the first_api_call funnel event only.

Conversion & Activation

• ✓Audio Guide spark for free users — Free users now get one free narrated video recording. The video builder shows a “1 free Audio Guide recording available” notice. After the spark is used, the notice flips to a trial CTA immediately (no page refresh). Subsequent Audio Guide attempts return 402 audio_guide_trial_used.
• ✓Usage breakdown by endpoint — Dashboard now shows a collapsible “Usage by endpoint” table for the current month. Loaded async when usage.current > 0, showing request counts per API endpoint so users can see exactly where their quota is going.
• ✓Quick-start template cards — Users with fewer than 5 API requests see three dismissible quick-start cards on the dashboard (Screenshot, PDF, Inspect). Each card pre-selects the tool in the API Explorer and scrolls to it. Dismissed state persists via localStorage. Trial CTA is suppressed until the user has made at least 1 request, preventing two competing “get started” prompts on first login.
• ✓Intent picker on signup — Organic visitors arriving at /signup without a ?plan= parameter now see a three-button picker: “Just exploring”, “Building a project”, and “Scaling up”. Selecting an option sets intended_plan and updates subtitle copy. Visitors arriving with an explicit plan param skip the picker.
• ✓UTM and referrer tracking — utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, and referrer are now captured from the URL at signup and stored on the user record. Enables attribution analysis across content and ad channels.
• ✓80% quota warning email — When a free user crosses 80% of their 100-request monthly quota, a warning email is sent once per billing period prompting them to start a trial before hitting the limit.
• ✓Signed embed screenshot URLs (Starter+) — Generate HMAC-SHA256-signed screenshot URLs via POST /dashboard/sign-screenshot. The resulting URL (GET /api/v1/embed/screenshot) can be placed directly in an <img> tag — no API key exposed to the browser. Signature binds all params; changing any parameter invalidates it. Default 24h TTL, max 7 days.

Activation, Drip & PAYG Backend

• ✓Pay As You Go plan — New pay-as-you-go tier. Top up your balance and pay only for what you use — no monthly commitment. Per-request pricing: screenshot/PDF/OG $0.01, sequence $0.03, video $0.05, inspect $0.005. Top up via POST /billing/topup.
• ✓CI onboarding email — Users who haven’t tried the video API within their first week receive a helpful email with a ready-to-paste GitHub Actions YAML snippet for auto-generating PR demo videos. Gated on marketing consent.
• ✓Marketing consent checkbox — Signup form now includes an opt-in checkbox (“Send me product updates and tips”, unchecked by default). Stored as marketing_consent on the user record. Gates all future drip and promotional emails. Transactional emails (verification, password reset) are unaffected.
• ✓Activation: welcome email with API key — After email verification, a welcome email is sent containing the user’s full API key and a ready-to-run curl example.
• ✓Activation: Get Started dashboard banner — Users who have made zero API calls see a dismissible banner on the dashboard with a pre-filled curl command for their active API key. Dismiss state persists in localStorage.
• ✓Docs: localhost & ngrok FAQ — Added FAQ section to the API docs covering how to use PageBolt with localhost via ngrok/Cloudflare Tunnel, with a working example.
• ✓Signup: duplicate email handling — Signing up with an already-verified email now returns 409 existingAccount: true. The signup page shows “An account with this email already exists. Log in instead →” — no more silent redirect to a dead verification flow.
• ✓Blog: AI agents & web capture — New post: Giving Your AI Agent Eyes — wiring screenshots, page inspection, and video audit trails into LLM agent loops including MCP server setup.
• ✓Blog: auto-generate PR demo videos — New post: Auto-Generate Narrated Demo Videos on Every Pull Request (Zero Config) — zero-config GitHub Actions setup with AI narration, GIF previews, and spec files.

Security Hardening

• ✓Puppeteer process isolation — Removed --single-process Chromium flag. Each request now runs in a properly isolated renderer process.
• ✓Error message stripping — Removed err.message from video and CI error responses to prevent internal path/stack disclosure.
• ✓Security headers — Added Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin and Permissions-Policy (restricts camera, microphone, geolocation, payment) to all responses.
• ✓SSRF blocklist: IPv6 multicast — Added ff00::/8 to the SSRF DNS resolution blocklist. DNS lookups now enforce a 3-second timeout to prevent slow-DNS bypass attacks.
• ✓Rate limit: email verification resend — POST /auth/resend-verification now rate-limited to 5 requests per hour per IP.
• ✓Dependency: qs DoS patch — Updated qs to 6.14.2 to patch a prototype-pollution/DoS vulnerability.
• ✓Billing: stale subscription ID on cancellation — endTrial() now clears stripe_subscription_id to NULL on any downgrade to free, preventing stale subscription IDs in the database after cancellation.
• ●Privacy & Terms pages — Fixed transparent background on /privacy and /terms — pages now render with the correct dark background.

Bug Fixes & UX Improvements

• ✓Signup email overflow on mobile — email addresses displayed in the “check your email” modal now wrap correctly on narrow viewports instead of overflowing the container.

Visual Redesign & Dashboard Overhaul

• ✓Landing page redesign — complete visual overhaul with a dark premium aesthetic: animated gradient hero, shimmer text, scroll-reveal sections, glassmorphism cards, and a bicolor brand/violet accent system.
• ✓Dashboard API Explorer — rebuilt as a two-column layout. Form and config on the left, code snippet and results panel sticky on the right. Code updates live as you change any field.
• ✓New dashboard header — plan badge, usage progress bar, and active API key shown at a glance at the top of every dashboard page.
• ✓Settings redesign — profile card in the sidebar, API Keys shown as full-width cards with status badges, and billing section matching the landing page pricing design.
• ✓Pricing updated — Audio Guide narration is now a Growth plan feature. Custom OG / HTML templates are available on Growth and above.
• ●Several dashboard bug fixes — video toggle crash, live code regeneration, layout overflow on long scripts, Export JSON feedback, and more.

Bug Fixes & Settings Improvements

• ✓Usage history chart — the Settings page now includes an interactive usage chart with day / week / month granularity toggle and hover tooltips.
• ✓Need Help? section — new support section in Settings with email contact and quick links to docs, blog, changelog, and sandbox.
• ✓wait_for visibility — wait_for steps in sequences and video recordings now wait for the element to be visible on the page, not just present in the DOM. More reliable for SPAs and dynamic content.
• ✓Sequence screenshot styling fixed — the background swatches in the sequence builder’s manual style controls were non-functional (decorative-only). Background types, solid color picker, and gradient presets now correctly apply to screenshot outputs.
• ✓OG image subtitle wrapping — long unbroken strings in subtitles now wrap correctly across all 3 OG image templates.
• ✓GIF conversion timeout — ffmpeg-based GIF conversion now enforces a 60-second timeout to prevent hung processes.

Pay As You Go Pricing

• ✓Pay As You Go plan — no monthly subscription, pay only for what you use. Top up your balance anytime starting at $5. Simple per-request pricing: screenshots/PDFs $0.01, sequences $0.03, videos $0.05, inspect $0.005.
• ✓Balance management — new POST /billing/topup endpoint for adding funds via Stripe. Balance stored in milli-dollars for sub-cent precision. Automatic refunds on failed requests.
• ✓Per-request deduction — PAYG users are charged atomically for each successful request. No monthly limits, no surprise bills. 402 error with clear balance info when funds run low.
• ✓Available everywhere — PAYG now appears on the landing page, signup flow, settings/billing page, and dashboard. Perfect for low-volume use cases or variable workloads.

Launch Edition

• ✓Style API — new POST /api/v1/style endpoint applies frames, backgrounds, shadows, and themes to existing screenshots. Does not count toward monthly quota — iterate on styles for free. See Style API docs →
• ✓Real-screenshot styling — the sandbox and dashboard now let you capture a raw screenshot first, then apply and iterate on styles using your actual image instead of a mock preview.
• ✓Blog — 7 launch posts at /blog: tutorials, API comparisons, and migration guides.
• ✓Quick Start guide — new first section in API docs with 3-step onboarding and copy-paste cURL command.
• ✓Dashboard Quick Start — new users (0 API calls) see a prominent welcome card with a pre-filled cURL command.
• ✓Minimal frame redesign — the minimal frame now renders a centered drag-handle pill bar, visually distinct from the macOS traffic light dots. Consistent across server, sandbox, dashboard, and style preview tool.
• ✓Bug fixes — video narration panel no longer clips when speaking style is selected; large shadow previews (XL/2XL) no longer overflow their containers; mobile menu closes on anchor link clicks.

Audio Guide & Script Mode

• ✓Audio Guide: Per-Step Narration — add AI voice-over to demo videos. Set audioGuide.enabled and add narration text to any step. Supports Azure AI Speech (12 voices, SSML styles) and OpenAI TTS (6 voices). See Audio Guide docs →
• ✓Audio Guide: Script Mode — write a single narration script with {{N}} step markers. The TTS engine generates one audio track and fires browser actions at the exact narration timestamp — perfect for polished product walkthroughs.
• ✓MCP Server v1.5.0 — record_video tool schema now exposes audioGuide.script for script mode narration.
• ✓Improved scroll positioning — scroll-to-selector now uses scroll-margin-top targeting section headings, accounting for sticky headers and padding.
• ✓Smarter page inspector — visibility detection checks the full ancestor chain; CSS selectors no longer include Tailwind utility classes.
• ✓Bug fixes — narration clips no longer overlap or cut off early, pronunciation fixes for brand names, scroll no longer rejects fade-in animated elements.

AI Agent CI & Video Styling

• ✓Autonomous AI Agent for CI — a zero-config AI agent reads your PR, inspects the deployed preview, and records a polished demo video. No spec files or scripts required. Works with Anthropic Claude or OpenAI GPT. See CI docs →
• ✓GitHub Action — drop-in PageBolt PR Demo Video action. Add to any repo for automatic demo videos on every PR. Supports Vercel, Netlify, and custom preview deployments.
• ✓pagebolt-ci CLI — new npm package for local testing and non-GitHub CI systems. Supports spec-based and agent modes, PR comment posting, and video artifact management.
• ✓Video frame & background styling — new frame option adds macOS or Windows window chrome. New background option adds gradient/solid backdrops with configurable padding and border radius.
• ✓Cursor persistence & classic style — new cursor.persist keeps cursor visible between actions. New cursor.style: "classic" renders a standard pointer.
• ✓MCP Server v1.4.0 — complete rewrite exposing 100% of PageBolt API parameters. All video recording, screenshot styling, and blocking options now available to AI agents.
• ✓Screenshot Style Preview tool — new interactive tool at /tools/style-preview for previewing frame, background, shadow, and theme options with live code generation.
• ✓Documentation updated — new CI/CD integration docs covering the GitHub Action, CLI reference, agent mode, and spec-based recording.

Guided Tour Notes & Smart Scrolling

• ✓Step notes for guided tours — add a "note" string to any video step to display a styled text overlay before the action executes. Perfect for product walkthroughs, onboarding flows, and tutorial recordings. Available on navigate, click, dblclick, fill, hover, and scroll.
• ✓Auto-scroll to viewport — if a click, fill, or hover target is outside the visible viewport, the video engine now automatically scrolls the element into view before the cursor moves to it. Note overlays, cursor movement, and click effects are always visible in the recording.
• ✓Lazy-load aware scrolling — after scrolling, the engine pauses frame capture, waits for lazy-loaded images to fully render, then captures the finished state. No more half-loaded content in scroll transitions.
• ✓Notes preserved in extension recordings — notes added via the Chrome extension side panel are now correctly saved when exporting sequences and preserved during scroll/fill deduplication.
• ✓Stripe trial subscription fix — the billing verification endpoint now correctly recognizes trialing subscriptions alongside active ones, fixing plan upgrades via checkout.
• ✓Updated default video demo — the dashboard video builder now ships with a pre-built demo sequence showcasing notes, scroll, frame chrome, and background gradients.
• ✓Documentation updated — API docs, llms.txt, llms-full.txt, and README now cover step notes and auto-scroll behavior.

Video Recording Improvements

• ✓Global auto-zoom removed — automatic zoom on every click has been removed. Zoom is now per-step only — add zoom: { enabled: true, level: 1.5 } to individual click/dblclick steps to zoom into that specific action.
• ✓Fixed classic (arrow) cursor — the classic cursor style now renders correctly in all recorded videos. Replaced CSS clip-path with an inline SVG that composites reliably in headless Chrome captures.
• ✓Click effects overhauled — ripple, pulse, and ring effects are now larger, slower, and more visible in the final video. Switched from Web Animations API to CSS transitions for reliable frame capture.
• ✓Cursor positioning fix — eliminated a duplicate CSS transform property that could cause inconsistent cursor anchoring across styles.

Documentation Overhaul

• ✓Updated all documentation to reflect current feature set across 10 files
• ✓Documented auto-zoom on clicks — previously listed as "coming soon" but was already live
• ✓Added frame options (macOS, Windows, minimal browser chrome) to Video API docs
• ✓Added background options (gradients, solid colors, padding, border radius) to Video API docs
• ✓Added record_video to MCP server tool listings in API docs
• ✓Updated llms.txt and llms-full.txt with complete Video API parameters
