This release focuses on stability, smarter logic behind the scenes, and a smoother experience for paid users and reviewers.

✨ New & Improved Features

• 🧭 Smarter Dashboard Indicators Projects on your dashboard now highlight when new comments or replies arrive — making it effortless to stay on top of updates without opening every project.

• 🤖 AI Review Gets Smoother Added a loading animation (similar to project initialization) during AI reviews — so you always know when BugSmash AI is working its magic.

• 🧱 Dynamic Branding & API Configuration Branding elements like logos, API keys, and core configuration are now managed directly from the database — enabling quicker updates and more consistency across deployments.

• 🌐 Website Upload Logic Revamp The upload status for websites now accurately reflects whether the site successfully loaded or not, resulting in cleaner project states and fewer false errors.

• 🧠 Website Roast Tracking Each website roast now records whether a roast report was generated, giving better visibility and control for analytics and retry handling.

• 📄 404 “Project Not Found” Page Added a friendly 404 page when a project is deleted or no longer available — so users know exactly what’s happened instead of facing a blank screen.

• 👥 Guest Experience Polished Shared project pages for guests now display the BugSmash logo on top, reinforcing trust and consistent branding.
