Product updates

Changelog

New features, improvements, and fixes — newest first.

v2.2
Jul 2, 2026
Dashboard fixes, site security hardening, llms.txt

DashboardHero layout fixed — regime label no longer overflows its card at high conviction. MacroPulse logo in the dashboard sidebar is now a link back to macropulse.live. Marketing site gains HSTS, Permissions-Policy, and Cache-Control headers. New llms.txt makes the product legible to AI crawlers (Perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude). Open Graph images converted to PNG for correct social previews. Blog index page live at macropulse.live/blog.

FixDashboardHero regime label overflow — reduced font size clamp and added word-break: break-word so "TIGHTENING" no longer escapes its card
FixRisk score font capped at 44px — was 54px, which pushed out of the risk score column on narrow viewports
NewSidebar logo is now a link to macropulse.live — hover opacity transition
InfraStrict-Transport-Security and Permissions-Policy headers added to all pages via vercel.json
InfraCache-Control on static assets: og-image.png and favicon.svg cached 30 days
Newllms.txt published at macropulse.live/llms.txt — structured product description for AI crawlers including regime model, IRL Engine, APIs, SDKs, and pricing
FixAll OG and Twitter card images changed from .svg to .png — SVG was silently ignored by social crawlers, previews now render correctly
NewBlog index at /blog — card-based post listing, same design system as the site
NewAPI Docs — SDKs section added to Overview with pip install irl-sdk and npm install irl-sdk code examples
v2.1
Jun 12, 2026
TypeScript SDK, IRL dashboard view, regime classifier v4

TypeScript/Node.js SDK ships: npm install irl-sdk, CJS+ESM dual build, Node 18+, full type coverage. The dashboard gains a dedicated IRL Engine tab with agents table, traces viewer, and audit log. Regime classifier retrained as v4 vol-normal with the 19-feature pipeline and VariationalGaussianHMM.

NewTypeScript SDK irl-sdk on npm — IRLClient, full type coverage, CJS + ESM dual build, Node 18+, GitHub: GabrielGauss/irl-sdk-ts
NewIRL Engine dashboard view — Overview, Agents, Traces, Audit sub-tabs; real-time WebSocket updates; trace drawer with JSON inspector
NewRegime classifier v4 vol-normal — VariationalGaussianHMM with 19-feature input; volatility context layering (vol-normal / vol-stress)
NewSettings modal in IRL view — configure IRL host, API key override, polling interval
ImprovedIRL system health panel shows last heartbeat age, agent liveness, and proof queue depth
v2.0
May 20, 2026
XGBoost transition model, 19-feature pipeline, CPCV validation

The regime model gets a full rebuild. Feature engineering expands from 14 to 19 indicators — adding VIX, US HY spread, yield curve slope, CPI YoY, PPI YoY, retail sales MoM, ISM manufacturing PMI, and core PCE. A parallel XGBoost transition classifier runs alongside the HMM, producing regime-switch probabilities that sharpen the risk score under ambiguous states. Walk-forward CPCV backtesting validates all regime signals with no lookahead bias.

NewXGBoost transition model — 4-class regime-switch classifier trained on HMM emission sequences; output blended into risk score as xgb_transition_prob
New19-feature pipeline — VIX close, US HY OAS, yield curve 10Y–2Y, CPI YoY, PPI YoY, retail sales MoM, ISM manufacturing PMI, core PCE, alongside existing 11 features
NewCPCV walk-forward backtesting — Combinatorial Purged Cross-Validation; Sharpe and max drawdown metrics now leak-free
NewVariationalGaussianHMM — replaces GaussianHMM; better uncertainty quantification under data scarcity; n_components=4
NewVolatility context layer — each regime label includes a vol state suffix (vol-normal / vol-stress) derived from realized VIX percentile
NewDaily pipeline retrain flag — model retrained weekly by default; force-retrain path via scripts/retrain_models.py --force
ImprovedFeature z-scores stored per-run for drift detection; pipeline flags stale features automatically
ImprovedRegime classifier returns transition matrix on every run — powers HMM sub-tab in dashboard Signals view
InfraModel artifacts stored as versioned pickle + JSON metadata; previous version retained for rollback
v1.9
Apr 14, 2026
IRL L2 Audit, LLM narrative, 5-day forecast, regime alerts, free tier endpoint

Major feature sprint: IRL Engine gains a deep audit endpoint for L2 subscribers. The signal package now includes an LLM-generated narrative via Claude Haiku. The 5-day ARIMA forecast is live and auth-gated. Regime transitions fire real-time alerts to X and Discord. A new unauthenticated endpoint exposes the live regime to the public as a free-tier entry point. Weekly digest email ships to all subscribers every Monday morning.

NewGET /v1/irl/audit — IRL Engine L2 deep decomposition: PCA factor attribution (PC1–PC4 with directional scores), stress indicator z-scores (VIX, HY spread, yield curve, DXY, net liquidity), liquidity attribution in $bn, HMM transition probability matrix, model drift health flags. Requires irl_audit tier.
NewGET /v1/public/regime — unauthenticated endpoint returning the live regime, risk score, equity exposure recommendation, plain-English interpretation, and an upgrade CTA. Free-tier entry point, no API key required.
NewGET /v1/account — returns tier, product line, agent count, payment status, daily request usage, feature entitlements, Stripe billing portal link, and docs URL. Works with any valid API key.
NewGET /v1/signals/history?days=N — regime history with probabilities for all tiers. Returns up to 90 days of {date, regime, risk_score, prob_*} rows.
NewLLM narrative in signal package — Claude Haiku generates a 2–3 sentence macro interpretation on every pipeline run. Included in /v1/signals/latest as narrative. Falls back to rule-based text if API is unavailable.
NewRegime change alerts — on every regime transition the pipeline posts to X (Twitter OAuth 1.0a) and Discord (colored embed with regime shift, risk score, new equity exposure). IRL subscribers now correctly receive email alerts alongside MacroPulse subscribers.
NewWeekly digest — every Monday at 09:00 UTC, all newsletter subscribers receive a formatted macro brief (regime, risk score, signal gauges, LLM narrative, dashboard CTA).
FixGET /v1/forecast was returning 500 due to a missing await on the DB query and missing auth. Both fixed — now requires Paid tier and returns correctly.
FixIRL welcome email CTA previously linked to a non-existent sandbox URL. Now correctly points to macropulse.live/irl-welcome.
FixGET /v1/irl/heartbeat was open to all keys. Now requires an IRL-tier key (irl_sidecar, irl_audit, or owner).
ImprovedCommentary endpoint fixed — 3 missing await calls on DB queries resolved; no longer returns stale/empty data.
ImprovedPipeline staleness check correctly uses the event loop via run_coroutine_threadsafe — no more asyncio.run() conflict inside the scheduler thread.
InfraStripe env vars documented in .env.example. Lemon Squeezy and Paddle references removed — Stripe is the sole billing provider.
v1.8

IRL Engine v1.2 — Layer 2 live, Python SDK, MtaMode::None

IRL Engine v1.2 ships with Layer 2 anti-replay fully live in production. Every authorize request now requires a signed heartbeat from the MTA operator, cryptographically binding the agent's regime knowledge to a real broadcast timestamp. New Python SDK (pip install irl-sdk) makes integration a 10-line async call. MtaMode::None lets firms use IRL as a pure cryptographic audit rail with no external signal.

NewLayer 2 heartbeat anti-replay live in production — every authorize binds to a signed MTA broadcast via Ed25519 + monotonic sequence
NewPython SDK irl-sdk — async IRLClient, automatic heartbeat fetch, AuthorizeRequest, TradeAction, OrderType
NewMtaMode::None — production-valid passthrough mode for firms managing risk externally; traces record signal_mode="none"
Newsignal_mode field on every trace — "live" / "mock" / "none" — auditors can see exactly how the regime context was produced
NewOTS receipt automation — Bitcoin-anchored Merkle proof upgrade runs every 6 hours via cron
InfraIRL Engine Docker runtime switched to debian:bookworm-slim — healthcheck now functional; distroless removed
FixMacroPulse /v1/regime/current broadcast_time now uses DB timestamp — every call for the same regime returns identical bytes, fixing MTA ref hash mismatches
v1.7
Apr 7, 2026
Stripe billing — self-serve checkout live
