What's New | Ceetrix

Improvements

Story titles that could be clearer now get suggestions instead of being rejected, so you can keep working without rewording to satisfy a check.

Improvements

Task completion reviews now judge your submission against criteria you can actually answer from the work you provided, so valid completions are less likely to be turned away.

Improvements

Your usage page now shows what each AI call actually cost at the exact published rate for the model that ran it, including extra reasoning time, so spending is easier to reconcile.
Quality reviews no longer pass a section when the review claims to have checked a requirement it never actually assessed, so coverage reports reflect real checks.

New Features

Project owners can now open a settings dialog from the project's document row to choose how strictly Ceetrix enforces its quality gates.
Strictness can also be read and changed from your coding agent, and every change is recorded in the project's history.
If a strictness change cannot be saved, you are told immediately instead of the change silently disappearing.

Improvements

When Ceetrix refuses an action, the response now opens with a clear one-line reason and lists the most recent previous catches on the same story.
Refusals during task creation are now recorded, so the story's history shows what was blocked and why.
Missing tests and failing tests are now reported as distinct problems rather than one combined refusal.

Bug Fixes

Reordering tasks and sections by drag and drop now saves correctly instead of failing silently.
Design coverage checks on large stories now complete instead of timing out.

Improvements

Sign in now requires a verified email address from your GitHub account, so your Ceetrix identity is always tied to a real, confirmed address.

New Features

Tasks can now record the commit that delivered the work, and project owners can require a commit before a task is marked complete.
When a commit requirement is on, you are told about it when you start a task rather than when completion is refused.
If a recorded commit cannot be found in your repository, Ceetrix says so and explains what that means instead of silently accepting it.

Bug Fixes

Stories created in the web app and by an agent now land in the backlog in a single consistent order instead of interleaving unpredictably.
