Dungeon & Delve Structural Builder: Turn a generated delve into a room-by-room map with connected areas, loops, and hidden routes you can explore and edit on an interactive canvas.

Layered Art Direction: Character portraits and scene art now pick up a faction's visual identity automatically, respect a subject's stature and scale, and keep canon details intact even when a description gets compressed.

Import From Other Tools, Phase 2: Bring in a full exported world package — images included, not just the text.

Mobile Image Uploads: Attach or replace an entity's image straight from your phone.

Session Voice Chat: Talk with your players without leaving the app. Start a voice channel from the header while hosting a live session — players join with one click, can mute themselves, and everyone sees who's in the channel.

Family Trees & Lineages: Open a full family tree for any character, then zoom out to a multi-generation lineage view. Siblings and relatives are linked up automatically as you record parents and partners.

Language Generator: Give your world its own tongues. Generate languages grounded in your existing lore, with naming styles that follow your world's genre.

Creature Packs: Fill your bestiary in a couple of clicks with ready-made creature packs themed to your world's setting.

Import Worlds from Other Tools: Bring an exported world file into your vault with a guided review step — you decide what gets added or updated, and re-importing a newer export later is safe.

Find Worlds Again: Guest views remember recently visited worlds on the device for quick access.

Theme-Aware Defaults: Generator options automatically bias toward your active world theme (gothic, cyberpunk, sci-fi, etc.) so results feel native to your setting.

AI + Local Fallback: Generation works with the Lore Oracle when connected, and falls back to local offline generation when AI is unavailable or disabled.

Contextual Launch: Open the generator from any entity to prefill relationship context and optionally link the result back to the source entity.

Context-Aware Related Entity Creator: Branch your setting organically using a new 'Generate Related' action that gathers the active entity and its first-degree graph neighbors to draft grounded entities.

Outline Template Injection: Integrates your vault's active theme templates to pre-structure the generated entity's markdown outline headings.

Silent Permission Checks: Verification of directory permissions is now fully silent at startup, preventing annoying browser picker prompts when you open the app.

Clear Access Grants: A prominent 'GRANT ACCESS' button appears in the sidebar when a vault folder handle needs permission, making recovery simple and clear.

Instant Save Confirmation: The status indicator displays a clear 3-second 'SAVED' checkmark before returning to idle, with immediate keypress interruption if you start editing again.
