Changelog

What changed across the catalog.

Product and catalog updates for LinkRidge Cloud APIs, use-case guides, resources, and status pages.

File-backed control-plane runtime added

Added a Node /v1 control-plane runtime that seeds persistent local/dev state from the platform seed packets and serves account, service, entitlement, service-token, QR import, and audit reads from a backing store while external effects stay disabled.

QR support case fixture endpoint added

Added read-only /v1 support-case fixtures for QR account services so operators can inspect local import-review handoff evidence while customer notifications, external tickets, escalations, customer timelines, service-status changes, billing, invites, redirects, and production deploys remain blocked.

Activation packet fixture endpoint added

Added read-only /v1 activation-packet fixtures for QR seed account services so agents and operators can inspect account identity, membership, entitlement, workspace, approval, billing-boundary, external-action, and audit evidence while activation, invites, billing, redirects, credentials, and production deploys remain blocked.

QR import validation fixtures added

Added validation evidence to QR import-job fixtures so Open QR links.json and browser-library import plans must show artifact receipt, slug conflict, destination validation, and operator approval state while imports, hosted redirects, tenant writes, and billing exports remain blocked.

QR route-resolution fixture endpoint added

Added a read-only /v1 fixture endpoint for QR route-resolution evidence so redirect adapters can inspect account, service, workspace, QR code, entitlement, destination, and blocked redirect state while hosted redirects and customer-visible QR access remain disabled.

QR usage fixture endpoints added

Added /v1 control-plane resources and generated dev-preview fixtures for QR scan events and billing-export requests so adapters can inspect local usage and billing-review shapes while hosted redirects, customer usage statements, subscriptions, invoices, and metered billing exports remain blocked.

QR route policy test vectors added

Added manifest-backed QR route denial test vectors and validator coverage so future hosted redirect adapters can replay account, service, workspace, QR code, entitlement, and Matthew-approval failures before any destination URL is served.

QR route denial matrix added

Added a QR route-resolution decision matrix and validator coverage so planned redirects must fail closed on account, account service, workspace, QR code, entitlement, or external-approval gates before hosted QR access is approved.

QR Growth seed packet checks added

Added a second local-only QR seed packet fixture for the Growth plan and tightened validation so entitlement values resolve from the selected plan limits while auth, billing, invites, DNS, hosted redirects, and production deploys remain blocked.

Control-plane OpenAPI skeleton added

Added a checked OpenAPI 3.1 skeleton for the planned /v1 LinkRidge Cloud control plane and tightened validation so every modeled resource path, method, mutating idempotency header, audit reference, and problem-error component stays aligned before backend, SDK, CLI, MCP, or Terraform work begins.

AI-friendly control-plane roadmap added

Added an AI-first neocloud roadmap, a planned /v1 control-plane API model, Terraform provider mappings, and validation checks so future agent, CLI, UI, MCP, and Terraform work can converge on one OpenAPI-first platform contract.

QR billing export request fixture checks added

Added a QR billing-export request contract and seed-packet fixture evidence so planned scan usage can be grouped for operator review while billing customers, subscriptions, external usage records, invoices, and metered exports remain disabled.

QR mutation request fixture checks added

Added a QR mutation-request contract and seed-packet fixture evidence so planned destination changes must resolve through the draft account, modeled account service, planned workspace, and QR code while staying approval-gated with no external effect.

Approval audit fixture checks added

Added a platform approval-audit contract and QR seed-packet fixture evidence so blocked operator decisions must leave a local audit row tied to the decision id, empty approved actions, blocked activation actions, and skipped external actions.

Operator decision fixture checks added

Added a platform operator-decision contract and QR seed-packet fixture evidence that keeps Matthew approval required, approved actions empty, and account activation, billing, invites, DNS, external redirects, and production deploys blocked.

Local provisioning rehearsal checks added

Added a platform runbook contract and QR seed-packet fixture evidence for a rehearsal-only local provisioning run that enumerates planned tenant records while auth users, billing records, invites, DNS, external redirects, and production routes remain blocked.

QR route resolution fixture checks added

Expanded the QR service manifest, local seed packet fixture, validator, and generated review page so a planned scanned slug must resolve through the draft account, modeled account service, planned workspace, planned QR code, status gates, and destination URL while hosted redirects remain blocked.

QR campaign fixture checks added

Expanded the QR service manifest, local seed packet fixture, validator, and generated review pages so planned qr_campaigns rows group QR codes inside the account workspace boundary while customer dashboards, analytics, exports, and hosted QR access remain approval-gated.

Platform seed review prototype added

Added a generated noindex platform admin review page backed by the local QR seed packet fixture, plus validator checks that keep live accounts, auth-provider users, billing subscriptions, outbound invites, external QR redirects, and production deploys blocked.

QR audit event fixture checks added

Expanded the QR service manifest, local seed packet fixture, and validator so planned QR audit evidence must resolve through the draft account, modeled account service, planned workspace, and planned QR code while staying local-only before hosted CRUD, customer timelines, or external QR workflows exist.

QR scan event fixture checks added

Expanded the QR service manifest, local seed packet fixture, and validator so planned scan-event evidence must resolve through the draft account, modeled account service, planned workspace, and planned QR code while staying non-billable and unexported before hosted redirects or billing integration exist.

QR code record fixture checks added

Expanded the QR service manifest, local seed packet fixture, and validator so planned qr_codes rows must stay in the account workspace boundary, keep slugs unique inside that workspace, use seed-app render styles, and remain planned before hosted CRUD or redirects exist.

QR workspace provisioning checks tightened

Expanded the local QR seed packet and validator so every manifest-declared qr_workspaces field, creator reference, pending timestamps, and audit metadata linkage must be present before local schema work can claim workspace provisioning evidence.

QR seed packet checks added

Added a local-only QR Starter seed packet fixture and validator that checks draft account, owner, membership, account service, entitlement defaults, planned workspace, skipped external actions, and audit target context before hosted QR implementation work can move forward.

Local seed packet contract modeled

Added platform and QR service manifest coverage for the admin-only seed packet fields and validation rules that can become fixture-backed local schema tests before signup, billing, invites, DNS, production routes, or hosted customer access exist.

Local schema scaffold modeled

Added platform and QR service manifest coverage for the local seed records needed before local-schema readiness, including draft account, owner user, owner membership, account service, entitlement defaults, and activation audit records while keeping auth, billing, invites, DNS, production routes, and external access blocked.

Platform rollout readiness modeled

Added manifest and generated page coverage for ordered rollout phases from service contract to local schema, adapter, operator review, and beta-candidate readiness, with QR service checklist items that keep customer accounts, invites, billing, DNS, production deploys, and external access closed until explicitly approved.

Operator approval checklist modeled

Added platform and QR service manifest coverage for the required local evidence and decision states an operator must record before account-service enablement, while keeping billing, invites, DNS, production deploys, and external access approval-gated.

Service event envelope modeled

Added platform and QR service manifest coverage for the shared usage/audit event envelope, QR event metadata fields, and adapter blockers that keep billing export, customer timelines, and hosted redirects approval-gated.

Platform activation packet modeled

Added manifest and generated platform-page coverage for the admin-only activation packet that must be reviewed before account-service approval, including membership, service-plan, billing-boundary, blocked-action, and audit requirements.

Core platform schema contract modeled

Added manifest and generated platform-page coverage for the first account-aware records: accounts, users, memberships, invites, account services, entitlements, usage events, and audit events, with guardrails that keep signup, billing, invites, and service access approval-gated.

QR workspace and redirect contract modeled

Expanded the QR Codes service manifest with planned qr_workspaces fields and account-scoped redirect resolution gates so the seed Open QR app can stay separately deployable while the hosted service adapter gets a concrete tenant boundary.

Platform account lifecycle states modeled

Added generated platform-page coverage for account, invite, and account-service lifecycle states so the next local schema slice has explicit draft, approval, active, paused, and revoked boundaries without creating external access.

QR service roles and plan gates modeled

Expanded the QR Codes service contract with account roles, modeled service plans, and operator gates for activation, invites, billing sync, and custom domains while keeping external actions disabled.

Platform and QR service manifest added

Added a generated platform page and QR Codes seed-service contract backed by a service catalog manifest covering tenant keys, entitlements, usage events, audit events, billing boundaries, and operator gates.

Agent guides and API acquisition content expanded

Added AI-agent API guide pages, llms.txt discovery, richer acquisition tracking, and eight new blog posts focused on agent-readable APIs, implementation guides, and buyer-usage measurement.

API marketing blog launched

Added a public blog section with practical posts for RapidAPI listing conversion, webhook signature debugging, and AI crawler readiness, each linked to related product pages and RapidAPI paths.

API marketplace marketing playbook added

Added a research-backed lead-generation playbook for RapidAPI visibility, freemium testing, community-led distribution, owned SEO pages, Postman/OpenAPI artifacts, and weekly measurement.

Contact path and live status labels

Renamed the public contact page to /contact/ (with a redirect from /early-access/) and simplified API status labels to Live.

Richer API pages and free checklists

Every live API now has a realistic first-call example, clearer next steps, and a free checklist that links into the worked guide and RapidAPI path—including Website Intelligence crawler readiness.

API catalog examples refreshed

Updated product and use-case examples for batch SLA calculations, domain brand evidence, webhook raw-body guidance, OpenAPI launch packs, and Website Intelligence remediation outputs.

Free checklists added

Added practical checklist pages for API launch prep, SLA due-date tests, webhook signature debugging, domain brand-profile intake, and AI crawler readiness.

Use-case response examples expanded

Expanded worked examples with concrete fields for SLA Due, OpenAPI Launch Pack, Domain Brand Profile, and Webhook Signature Debug.

Domain Brand Profile guide improved

Expanded the domain enrichment guide around public brand facts, onboarding and CRM use cases, favicon and OpenGraph hints, and clear limits on homepage metadata.
