Rift

Dependency maintenance: upgraded basic-ftp to v6. This is an internal tooling update with no impact on template functionality or buyer workflows.

Dependency maintenance: pinned dependencies to ensure consistent builds and reproducible installs across environments. No feature changes or breaking updates.

Fixed a packaging issue where the Documentation route was excluded from the release zip due to an incorrect anchor in the zip-exclude configuration (#110). Fresh installs of v0.9.1 now include the full /docs route as intended.

Added recharts integration to dashboard pages, enabling interactive, responsive data visualizations. Charts now render with smooth entry animations for a polished user experience. **What's new:** - Recharts library integrated for chart rendering - Dashboard pages now feature animated chart entry sequences - Improved data visualization capabilities across dashboard views No breaking changes. Update via `npm install` or your package manager.

Internal audit reporting refresh. QG-Report PDF updated with backfilled audit data for compliance tracking purposes. No changes to template functionality or buyer-facing features.

Packaging hygiene: excluded documentation files (AGENTS.md, docs/, *.docx) from release ZIP to reduce bundle size and clarify distribution scope. No functional changes.

Documentation: added PREMIUM_AUDIT.md reference guide for external audit tracking and compliance documentation.

Documentation: improved `useCountUp` hook documentation with direction-agnostic wording for clarity across different use cases (#103).

Dependency hygiene: resolved cross-major version mismatches in pnpm.overrides to ensure consistent dependency resolution across the project. This improves build stability and reduces potential conflicts during installation.

Applied UI20 P1 compliance sweep across premium components: - **Trademarks**: corrected trademark symbol rendering and spacing in hero and footer sections - **Count-up**: fixed animation timing and number formatting edge cases - **Scale**: resolved responsive scaling inconsistencies on mobile and tablet viewports - **Dashboard tease**: improved visual hierarchy and contrast for premium feature callouts These refinements ensure the template meets current design standards and improves the premium user experience across all breakpoints.

**useCountUp hook:** Fixed initial value rendering on server to prevent hydration mismatches. When using count-up animations in server-rendered pages, the component now correctly displays the starting value before animation begins, eliminating layout shift and console warnings. This fix is particularly important for pages with multiple animated counters or when using Next.js static generation.

Documentation: Updated Framer Motion references to Motion (motion/react) for clarity with current library naming. Reorganized dashboard pages documentation into components section for improved discoverability.

Replaced `[CUSTOMISE:]` bracket syntax with generic descriptors throughout privacy-related templates (#96). This change makes the template more intuitive during customization—buyers can now follow clearer, more standard placeholder conventions without needing to interpret custom bracket notation. No migration required. Existing customizations remain compatible.

Fixed vendor name references to comply with content-scan requirements (te-verify P332). Real vendor names have been scrubbed from the template to ensure privacy compliance across all components. No action required on your end—this update applies automatically.

Fixed placeholder strings (`[CUSTOMISE:]` / `[REPLACE:]`) that were not being scrubbed from legal pages during build. This affected 5 legal template pages and could cause confusion or compliance issues if deployed without manual cleanup. If you've already deployed v0.8.5 or earlier, review your legal pages (Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, etc.) and remove any remaining placeholder markers before going live.

CI workflow: aligned release.yml to shipping-kit pattern for consistent deployment across the ui-rift family. No changes to template functionality or dependencies.

Dashboard layout refinement: corrected full-width wrapper behaviour. Removed unused ESLint directives to improve code quality and maintainability.

Documentation and code quality improvements: synced primitive JSDoc from UI00-BASE and cleaned up eslint comments. No functional changes.

Dependency hygiene: propagated UI00-BASE #116 and applied pnpm.override for qs DoS mitigation (#84). No feature changes or breaking updates.

Internal sync: aligned RevealOnScroll `as` prop and useIsMobile singleton implementation with UI00-BASE. No user-facing changes.

Dependency hygiene: updated @types/react to v19.2.15. This is a patch-level type definitions update with no impact on runtime behaviour or component APIs.

Dependency maintenance: pinned dependencies to ensure consistent builds and reproducible installs across environments. No functional changes or new features in this release.

Dependency management: added pnpm.overrides configuration for ws and brace-expansion@5.x to ensure consistent transitive dependency resolution across the project.

Added a new **Skeleton primitive component** for building loading placeholders across your dashboard. Includes a pre-built dashboard loading state that mirrors your content layout, reducing layout shift and improving perceived performance during data fetches. Use the Skeleton component to wrap content areas while async operations complete. The dashboard example demonstrates best practices for skeleton composition and timing.

**OpenGraph Preview Image Support** Added automatic OpenGraph preview image generation at the standard 1200x630 resolution. Social links now render with proper preview images across Twitter, LinkedIn, Discord, and other platforms that consume OG meta tags. This improves click-through rates and visual consistency when sharing your gaming/esports content. No configuration required — the feature is enabled by default.

Improved numeric and monospace rendering across the kit: - **Body text**: Applied `font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums` baseline for consistent digit alignment in stats, scores, and leaderboards - **Monospace surfaces**: Added slashed-zero (`font-variant-numeric: slashed-zero`) for clearer code and terminal-style displays These OpenType features enhance readability in gaming contexts where precision and visual clarity matter—especially for live stats, player rankings, and debug overlays. No migration needed; updates apply automatically.

Fixed critical accessibility issues in the navbar and theme toggle components: - **Navbar landmark**: Added proper `<nav>` semantic structure with `role="navigation"` for improved screen reader navigation. - **aria-controls**: Connected theme toggle button to controlled elements with explicit `aria-controls` attributes. - **aria-pressed**: Theme toggle now correctly reports its state via `aria-pressed` for assistive technologies. These changes ensure the template meets WCAG 2.1 AA standards for keyboard navigation and screen reader users. No breaking changes — update at your convenience.

Added `<RevealOnScroll>` component for triggering animations and content reveals when elements enter the viewport. Ideal for below-fold conversion optimization in hero sections, feature showcases, and call-to-action blocks. The component handles intersection observer setup, animation timing, and performance optimization out of the box. Pairs well with existing animation utilities for staggered reveals and progressive disclosure patterns common in gaming and esports UI. See the component API and usage examples in the updated docs.

Documentation: Added Copilot and Codex bot instructions to enforce Renovate dependency management canon. This improves the development workflow for contributors and maintainers but does not affect template functionality or buyer-facing features.

Internal: backported family consistency fixes from UI04 to align component structure across the template suite. No breaking changes or new features.

**Hydration fix:** Page transition wrapper now renders unconditionally, preventing hydration mismatches during client-side navigation. This resolves edge cases where the wrapper could conditionally render on server vs. client, causing layout instability or lost transition state. No action required—update at your convenience.

Migrated marketing entry animations from Framer Motion to native CSS keyframes. This reduces JavaScript execution overhead during page load and decreases bundle size, resulting in faster initial renders and smoother transitions on lower-end devices. No API changes. All existing animation behavior is preserved.

Documentation hygiene: removed stale per-kit generate-report.js script from docs. No functional changes to the template or build output.

CI tooling: bumped Node.js from v20 to v22 to unblock pnpm 11 support. No changes to template functionality or dependencies.

Dependency security update: upgraded brace-expansion to v5 to address known vulnerabilities in the dependency chain. No changes to template functionality or API surface.

Dependency maintenance: updated non-major dependencies to their latest patch and minor versions. No breaking changes or new features in this release.

Resolved mechanical-review P1 and P2 findings in motion and comment components (#33). These fixes improve component stability and ensure compliance with quality standards. No breaking changes or migration required.

Dependency management: inherited Renovate configuration from organization settings and added Dependabot weekly schedule for automated dependency updates. No template or component changes.

Resolved critical accessibility findings from mechanical review: - **P1 input label fix**: corrected missing or malformed label associations on form inputs, ensuring screen reader users can properly identify form fields - **4× P094 findings**: addressed additional WCAG compliance issues These fixes improve audit readiness and ensure the template meets accessibility standards for production deployments. No breaking changes or migration required.
