What's New

Release notes and feature updates

v2.53.0May 13, 2026

/dogs Search Works Now

The search box on /dogs has been a dead input — type anything, nothing happens. Now it filters both the local-dogs grid and the SBHA-mirrored dogs section against name, registered name, and breed. Mirrors the behavior /handlers already had.

Working Search

Search input wrapped in a real <form method='get'> with name='q' and a defaultValue from the URL
Filters local dogs by name / registeredName / breed (case-insensitive substring)
Filters SBHA dogs by registeredName / callName / breed against the same query
Header counter switches from 'N dogs in the database' to 'N matches for "…"' when a query is active
Empty-state stops nagging 'Load Demo Data' when the user just searched for something that didn't match

v2.52.0May 13, 2026

SBHA Dogs Directory on /dogs

Mirror of what landed for handlers in 2.49: every imported SBHA dog now shows up on the main /dogs page, not just the top 10 on the leaderboard. Listed below the local registered dogs, sorted by total mirrored points, with placement count + link straight to the SBHA dog profile.

Dogs Index

New 'SBHA-Mirrored Dogs' section below the existing local-dogs grid on /dogs
Sorted by total points across mirrored placements; shows breed, sex, and placement count
Each row links to /sbha-dogs/[id] for the full placement history (with handler attribution)
Discoverability fix: previously only top-10 SBHA dogs were reachable from the standings leaderboard

v2.51.0May 13, 2026

SBHA Placements Now Show 1st / 2nd / 3rd

Pure bug fix on the SBHA dog-page parser. Place was always parsed as bare numbers ("1", "2", "3") from the upstream table, but the parser only matched the formatted form ("1st", "2nd"), so every placement landed in the DB with place_label = NULL. Now they all carry the right label.

Parser Fix

Switched dog.php result-row extraction from regex-across-all-cells to position-aware: locate the stake-link cell, then read cell+1 (place) and cell+2 (points)
New formatPlace() helper suffixes bare numbers (1 → 1st, 2 → 2nd, 13 → 13th, 21 → 21st), passes through already-formatted values (RU-CH, JAM, etc.)
Re-scrape: 71 of 71 results now have place_label populated (27× 1st, 25× 2nd, 19× 3rd)
Visible on /sbha-dogs/[id] and /sbha-handlers/[id] — every placement row now leads with its place label

v2.50.0May 13, 2026

SBHA Dog Profiles + Cross-Linked Standings

Parallels the SBHA handler-page work: every imported dog now has a local profile page, and the Top Dogs leaderboards on /standings now stay on-site instead of opening southernbirdhunters.org in a new tab.

/sbha-dogs/[id]

New read-only mirror profile for SBHA-scraped dogs (parallel to /sbha-handlers/[id])
Shows breed / sex / color / whelped / FDSB# / sire / dam in a compact metadata grid
Full placement list with stake/event, handler (linked to their /sbha-handlers/[id] page), season, and points
Best-effort match to a local /dogs/[id] by registeredName surfaces a 'View local profile' button

Standings Cross-Linking

SBHA Top Dogs leaderboard rows on /standings now link to /sbha-dogs/[id] for mirrored-only dogs (matched locals still link to /dogs/[id])
SBHA per-division grids ditto — no more accidental new-tab navigation to southernbirdhunters.org
Dog names on /sbha-handlers/[id] 'Dogs handled' list are now clickable links to /sbha-dogs/[id]

v2.49.0May 13, 2026

SBHA Handlers — Browse + Placement History

Two compounding wins on the SBHA mirror surface: every imported handler is now reachable from /handlers (not just the top 10), and each SBHA handler page shows the dogs they ran and the placements they earned.

Handlers Directory

/handlers now includes a 'SBHA-Mirrored Handlers' section listing all 50 imported handlers, sorted by total points
Search box filters both local users and SBHA handlers — typing 'tracy' surfaces George + Mike Tracy

Placement History on /sbha-handlers/[id]

Migration 0019: sbha_results gains handler_name + sbha_handler_id columns (indexed)
Stake-page scraper extended to walk the Dog/Handler row pairs in each placement table and write the handler back onto the matching result
New 'Dogs handled by X' section on each SBHA handler profile — breed + sex + event + season + points per placement
Re-scrape: 70 of 71 mirrored results now carry a handler reference

v2.48.0May 12, 2026

SBHA Handler Pages + Scraper Fixes

Three pile-on items after the first SBHA-handlers scrape went live: the scraper had a bug that pointed it at the wrong division IDs, a second bug that grabbed the site banner as the handler name, and the Top Handlers leaderboard links were going OUT to southernbirdhunters.org instead of staying on the local site.

Scraper Bug Fixes

top_handler.php uses 3 handler-category division IDs (0/1/2 = Ladies/Walking/Horseback), NOT the 8 stake-type IDs the rest of the SBHA scrapers iterate. Replaced with a new TOP_HANDLER_DIVISIONS constant; all 8 fetches were previously returning empty
parseHandlerDetail() was grabbing the first <h1> on the page, which is always the site banner ('Southern Bird Hunters Association'). Now skips a known set of template-noise <h1>s and picks the first real one
Re-scraped: 50 handlers with correct names (Alan Atkins, George Tracy, Debbie Ozner…) and per-division points across Top Horseback / Top Ladies. Top Walking is empty at the source; will populate as SBHA publishes it

New /sbha-handlers/[id] Page

Read-only local profile for SBHA-mirrored handlers who don't (yet) have a SportingDogs.app account
Shows per-division points, season year, total, and the upstream southernbirdhunters.org link for provenance
Best-effort match to local users by name — if the handler has a SportingDogs.app account, a 'View local profile' button appears
Footer prompts unclaimed handlers to register

Standings Leaderboard Linking

SBHA Top Handlers rows on /standings now link to the local /sbha-handlers/[id] page instead of opening a new tab on southernbirdhunters.org

v2.47.0May 12, 2026

Multi-Day Brace Distribution + Share Public Results

Two demo-deck items from the SBHA notes: brace draws now distribute across the event's date range instead of dumping everything onto day 1, and every event has a one-click 'Share results' button that copies the public results URL.

Brace Draw — Multi-Day Aware

drawBracesForStake() now reads event.startDate / endDate and spreads braces evenly across the day range (clamped 1–14 days)
Each brace gets a default scheduledTime computed from event.startTime + stake.durationMinutes + a 5-minute gap between braces
Secretaries still override per-row day, time, and course in the existing brace edit UI — the auto-distribute is a starting point, not a constraint
Existing braces are not re-distributed automatically — re-run the brace draw to apply the new layout

Share Public Results

New 'Share results' button on every event detail page, alongside Entry List / Running Order / Results
One-click copies the public results URL to the clipboard with a 'Copied!' confirmation
Falls back to a prompt dialog if the Clipboard API is blocked (older browsers, insecure contexts)

Deploy Hardening (internal)

New deploy/ship.sh — local-build → atomic-swap workflow with auto-rollback and old-release pruning
Droplet post-receive hook neutered so 'git push production main' can no longer OOM the 1 GB box
deploy/sportingdogs.service synced to match the installed unit; deploy/README.md rewritten around ship.sh

v2.46.0May 8, 2026

SBHA Handlers + Per-Division Standings + Event Cross-Linking

Closes out the remaining items from the morning batch: top_handler.php scraper feeding a new sbha_handlers + sbha_handler_results pair, SBHA panels on event detail and handler detail pages, and per-division leaderboards on /standings and the dog profile.

Handler Scraper

New /lib/scrapers/sbha-handlers.ts walks top_handler.php?division=N for all 8 divisions and drills handler.php?contactID=N for each handler's name + location
Migration 0018 adds sbha_handlers + sbha_handler_results tables (per-division points + rank, season-aware)
POST /api/admin/scrape/sbha-handlers — third Run button on /admin/scrape with Max handlers cap
Shared division classifier (lib/sbha-divisions.ts) maps stake_type IDs and free-text stake names to 8 normalized division labels

Cross-linking SBHA into Local Surfaces

/events/[id] — new 'SBHA Record' panel matches local event name to mirrored stakes and shows judges + entry breakdown (pointers/setters/other)
/handlers/[id] — new 'SBHA Standing' panel with per-division points + rank when handler name matches a mirrored sbha_handlers row
/dogs/[id] — SBHA panel now groups placements by division with sub-totals, mirroring the SBHA standings structure

Standings Page

New 'SBHA Top Dogs by Division' grid — top 10 per division across all 8 SBHA divisions, season-aware
New 'SBHA Top Handlers' overall leaderboard — sums points across every division per handler
Existing 'SBHA Top Dogs' overall leaderboard kept as a quick-scan summary above the per-division grid

v2.45.0May 8, 2026

SBHA Dog Registry Import + Bird-Dog Image Cleanup

Real implementation of the SBHA dogs/points/stakes scraper (Phase C4 follow-up), bird-dog category chips on /dogs, and a demo-mode override that finally retires the retriever-era Unsplash photos seeded into existing dogs and feed posts. Imported SBHA points show up on /standings as a new 'Top Dogs' leaderboard, and on each dog profile when we can match by registered name.

SBHA Dog/Points/Stakes Scraper (real impl)

New /lib/scrapers/sbha-dogs.ts powered by node-html-parser — walks 8 points-by-stake-type pages, drills each dog.php?dogID, then each stake.php?stakeID for judges + entry breakdowns
Three new mirror tables (sbha_dogs, sbha_results, sbha_stakes) — UPSERT by upstream sbha_id; not FK'd to local dogs/events so re-scraping is cheap
POST /api/admin/scrape/sbha-dogs — super-admin route accepting { maxDogs, maxStakes } caps so one-off runs stay bounded
Politeness baked in: 200ms inter-fetch delay, 8s timeout, single 5xx retry — friendly to the source site

Admin Scrape Runners

New /admin/scrape page (super-admin only) with Run buttons for both the SBHA Clubs and SBHA Dogs scrapers
Inline ScrapeStats display: pages fetched, rows upserted, expandable error log
Card on /admin dashboard surfaces the page for super-admins only

SBHA Points on Standings & Dog Profile

New 'SBHA Top Dogs' leaderboard at the bottom of /standings — top 25 by mirrored cumulative points, season-aware
Each row deep-links to the local dog profile when we can match registeredName, otherwise to the upstream dog.php URL
Per-dog 'SBHA Standing' panel on /dogs/[id] — placements with judges + entry counts when the stake is mirrored

Bird-Dog Breed Chips & Photo Cleanup

/dogs filter chips now match the registration form categories under DEMO_BIRD_DOG_ONLY: Pointers/Setters · Pointing Breeds · European/Rare Breeds
New isSeedPlaceholderUrl() helper detects seeded Unsplash / placedog / picsum URLs
Demo mode overrides those at render time on dog cards, dog profile banners, and feed posts so the AKC breed fallback wins instead of a stale retriever photo
User-uploaded dog_photos rows are still always preferred — only legacy seed photoUrl/mediaUrl gets swapped

v2.44.0May 7, 2026

Phase C Wrap: PhotoCredit + Scraper Scaffolding

Closes out the Phase C deliverables with a reusable photo-credit component (C1) and the scraper scaffolding for American Field calendar imports (C3) and SBHA club imports (C4). Original change-request list is now 100% addressed in code — A1-A5, B1-B8, C1-C5 all shipped or scaffolded.

PhotoCredit Component (C1)

New <PhotoCredit /> component with three variants — overlay (banner strip), inline (text below image), corner (small pill)
Always renders a hyperlinked credit so attribution is one click away from verification
Refactored the home hero (Chris Mathan) and dog profile banner stock-photo strip to use it — single source of truth
Future surfaces (handler avatars sourced from public photos, breed-detail pages) can drop in the same component

American Field Scraper Scaffold (C3)

New /lib/scrapers/american-field.ts with importAmericanFieldCalendar() function and ScrapeStats type
POST /api/admin/scrape/american-field — super-admin-only manual trigger
Currently returns a 'not yet implemented' stats object so the operator gets a clear signal
Stable function shape + admin route mean the actual scrape implementation can land in an ops cycle without UI/admin changes
TODO list in the source file lays out the implementation path: fetch /calendar, parse rows, dedup by (clubName + startDate), parse linked PDFs for points-trial / qualifying / judges metadata, rate-limit + retry-after handling

SBHA Club Scraper Scaffold (C4)

New /lib/scrapers/sbha-clubs.ts with importSbhaClubs() function (shares the ScrapeStats type)
POST /api/admin/scrape/sbha-clubs — super-admin-only manual trigger
TODO list in the source: fetch /regions.php, walk every clubID, parse per-club detail pages, match-or-insert against existing clubs by (name + state), ensure the SBHA association link in club_associations

Original Change Request: Status

A1 (hide non-bird-dog) ✓ · A2 (home page + Stakes) ✓ · A3 (events filters) ✓ · A4 (clubs multi-assoc) ✓ · A5 (UserMenu reorder) ✓
B1 (Handlers index) ✓ · B2 (event judges) ✓ · B3 (points-trial filter) ✓ · B4 (dogs default order) ✓ · B5 (multi-org reg) ✓ · B6 (multi-photo) ✓ · B7 (affiliations) ✓ · B8 (avatar edit) ✓
C1 (Mathan photos) ✓ caption infrastructure (full library swap = licensing/content work) · C2 (breed fallback) ✓ · C3 (AF scraper) scaffold ✓ · C4 (SBHA scraper) scaffold ✓ · C5 (club geo + radius) ✓

v2.43.0May 7, 2026

Phase C: Club Geo + Breed Photo Fallback

Two of the four remaining Phase C deliverables shipped: full club geo with 'near-me' radius search (C5) and AKC breed-photo fallback for dogs without uploaded photos (C2). Phase C kicks off the data-and-imagery work the deck called out.

Club Geo + Radius Search (C5)

New clubs.latitude / clubs.longitude decimal columns (migration 0016)
Backfill: every existing club with a state code got seed coords from the 50-state population-weighted centroid table — 16 rows seeded on production
/clubs page gets a 'Near' ZIP+radius form (preset radii: 25, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000 mi)
Haversine filter limits the result list and adds a 'NN mi away' chip per card
Sort flips to 'nearest first' when geo is active, otherwise stays upcoming-events-desc → alpha
Search bar + assoc + state chips all preserve the geo params across navigation
ZIP centroid table extended with state-level helper (lookupState) for any future feature that needs a coarse fallback

Breed Photo Fallback (C2)

New /lib/breed-photos.ts maps each FDSB-eligible bird-dog breed to an AKC public photo URL with attribution metadata
Dog profile banner uses dog_photos[0] → legacy dog.photoUrl → AKC breed fallback in priority order; banner credit caption ('Stock photo: AKC') links to the breed's AKC page
/dogs index card shows the same fallback when a dog has no uploaded photo, with a small 'Stock: AKC' chip in the corner
When the licensed Chris Mathan library lands, swap out the URLs in breed-photos.ts and the credit fields — no other surfaces need touching
next.config.ts remotePatterns + middleware CSP both updated to allow www.akc.org and image6.photobiz.com hosts

Phase C Roadmap

C5 ✓ shipped — clubs lat/lng + 'near me' radius search
C2 ✓ shipped — AKC breed-photo fallback with attribution
C1 — Chris Mathan asset library: caption infrastructure ready; full library swap is licensing/content work outside the codebase
C3 — American Field calendar scraper: scaffolding lands in 2.44.0, real scrape impl needs ops cycle
C4 — SBHA club scraper: same shape as C3, scaffolding lands in 2.44.0

v2.42.0May 7, 2026

Nav Cleanup + Clubs State Filter (Phase C kickoff)

Two more nav-tightening fixes from feedback, plus the first Phase C deliverable: a multi-state filter on /clubs with per-state counts. Phase C remaining items (full club geo + radius, breed-photo fallback, scraping scaffolding) ship in 2.43.0–2.44.0.

Nav: Add Dog Moved to Avatar Menu

'Add Dog' button removed from the main nav bar — was eating ~120px on every layout
New 'Register a Dog' primary CTA at the top of the avatar dropdown (highlighted with primary-color background)
Mobile menu still has the inline Add Dog button at the bottom for thumb-reach

Nav: Shorter Search

Search input shrunk from w-28/2xl:w-56 → w-24/2xl:w-40 — saves another ~30px at every breakpoint
Placeholder still 'Search…'; focus ring + behavior unchanged

Clubs: Multi-State Filter (Phase C5 lite)

New 'Filter by State' chip row above the existing 'Filter by Association' chip row on /clubs
Each state chip shows the number of clubs in that state inline (e.g. 'GA (4)')
Multi-select — pick any number; chips toggle on click, encoded as ?state=GA&state=AL&… in the URL (bookmarkable + shareable)
Search bar preserves both assoc + state filters across submits via hidden inputs
Assoc chip URLs preserve state codes (and vice versa) — no flicker losing filters when toggling either dimension
'Clear' chip when any states are selected

Phase C Roadmap

C5 (full geo + 'near me' radius search on /clubs) — needs lat/lng schema; ships in 2.43.0
C2 (breed-photo fallback when a dog has no uploaded photo) — uses public AKC images with photo credit; ships in 2.43.0
C1 (Chris Mathan asset library) — caption infrastructure for now; full library swap is content/licensing work outside the codebase
C3 (American Field calendar import) + C4 (SBHA club scraper) — scaffolding ships in 2.44.0; real scrape implementations are ops work that need testing against the live source sites

v2.41.0May 7, 2026

Litter Waitlist Signups

Closes the breeder workflow loop started with Litter Announcements (2.22.0). Prospective puppy buyers can join a litter's waitlist with an optional message; breeders see the running list of interested buyers (with contact info) on the litter's edit page. Notification fires when someone signs up.

Schema

New litter_waitlist table (id, litter_id, user_id, message, created_at)
FKs to litters and users with ON DELETE cascade
UNIQUE INDEX on (litter_id, user_id) prevents duplicate signups
Migration 0015 applied to production

API

POST /api/litters/[id]/waitlist — auth required, rate-limited 30/min/IP, message capped at 4000 chars, breeder can't waitlist their own litter (400)
DELETE /api/litters/[id]/waitlist — removes the current user's row only
Returns 409 with friendly error when user is already on the list
Inserting a row fires a system-kind notification to the breeder with a link to /litters/[id]/edit

UI

<JoinWaitlistButton /> on litter detail pages — adapts to viewer state: guest sees a Sign-in link; signed-in non-breeder sees a 'Join waitlist' button that opens an inline message form; already-on-list shows a green 'On waitlist' chip with click-to-leave; breeder sees a read-only 'N on waitlist' counter
Optimistic-flip UI for join/leave with revert on failure
Breeder waitlist viewer on /litters/[id]/edit — name, location, email, message, join date for every signup; click name to jump to /handlers/[id]
Empty-state copy when no one's joined yet

v2.40.0May 7, 2026

Nav Restructure: Dropdown Groups + Login Restored

Two fixes called out in feedback. (1) Login affordance was lost — the chevron on the avatar button was gated to 2xl so it looked like decoration; the Sign In link only appeared at sm+. (2) Nav was overcrowded at 7 top-level items. Restructured into 3 direct links + 3 grouped dropdowns (Dogs, Trials, Help) so it scans cleanly at every breakpoint.

Login Affordance Restored

Avatar button: chevron is now ALWAYS visible (no longer gated to 2xl) — clearly indicates the dropdown
Avatar button: chevron rotates 180° when the menu is open
Avatar button: padding widened (gap-1.5, pr-2) so chevron has visual room
Signed-out: 'Sign In' is now visible at every breakpoint — icon-only below sm, full label at sm+
Signed-out: 'Sign up free' button stays at sm+ as the secondary CTA

Grouped Dropdowns

Top-level shrinks from 7 flat items to 3 direct links + 3 dropdowns: Events · Dogs▾ · Trials▾ · Feed · Help▾
Dogs▾: Dogs (browse), Handlers, Litters, Compare Dogs
Trials▾: Clubs, Standings
Help▾: Documentation, What's New, Platform Stats
Each dropdown row shows the icon, label, and a one-line description
Reusable NavDropdown component — consistent styling, outside-click close, chevron rotation, active-state highlighting when any child is the current page

Mobile Menu

Hamburger mirrors the desktop grouping: direct links first, then Dogs / Trials / Help sections each with their own header
Cleaner vertical flow on small phones

v2.39.0May 7, 2026

Printable Event Results — Secretary Trilogy Complete

Third leg of the secretary print trilogy. Joins the Entry List (2.38.0) and Running Order (2.25.0) prints — every event now has bookmarkable, public, letter-paper-optimized PDFs for the full pre-trial → mid-trial → post-trial workflow.

Results Print Page

New /events/[id]/results/print — public, server-rendered, letter paper
Banner: 'Official Results' label, event name, dates, grounds, city/state
Summary: stake count + total placements recorded
Per stake section sorted by run order with participant type + category
Per row: color-coded placement pill (1st amber/gold, 2nd silver, 3rd bronze, 4th, JAM, RJ, Pass, Fail, Scratched, Withdrew) · Dog (registered + breed) · Handler (name + location) · Score · Notes
Placements within each stake sorted by canonical order (1st → 2nd → 3rd → 4th → JAM → RJ → Pass → Fail → Scratched → Withdrew)
Page-break-inside: avoid on each stake

Surfacing

New 'Print' button at the top of /events/[id]/results
Direct URL: /events/[id]/results/print — bookmarkable + shareable
Open Graph metadata for nice social previews

Print Trilogy

Pre-trial: /events/[id]/entries/print — who's entered (2.38.0)
Mid-trial: /events/[id]/braces/print — running order with brace times + courses (2.25.0)
Post-trial: /events/[id]/results/print — placements with scores + notes (this release)
All three follow the same letter-paper / @page / page-break-inside: avoid pattern; nav, header, footer, and Print buttons hidden via @media print

v2.38.0May 7, 2026

Printable Entry List

Companion to the running order print (2.25.0). Public, letter-paper-optimized list of every dog entered in the event grouped by stake — used by club secretaries before the brace draw runs and by competitors checking who they're up against.

What's on the page

Banner: 'Official Entry List' label, event name, date range, grounds, city/state
Summary: stake count + total entries, plus 'entries close' deadline when set
One section per stake (sorted by run order, with participant type + category)
Per-entry row: # · Dog (registered name + call name) · Breed · Sex · Handler (name + location) · Registration (every org/number on file via the multi-org table from 2.34.0)
Withdrawn entries excluded automatically
Page-break-inside: avoid on each stake so it doesn't split mid-table
Generated timestamp + SportingDogs.app branding in the footer

Where to find it

New 'Entry List' button at the bottom of /events/[id], next to 'Running Order' and 'Results'
Direct URL: /events/[id]/entries/print — bookmarkable, shareable, public
Open Graph metadata for nice social previews when shared

v2.37.0May 7, 2026

Hard Fix: Horizontal Scroll Eliminated

Earlier nav-overflow attempts (2.30.0, 2.31.0) shrank the right cluster but still allowed page-level horizontal scroll on certain widths. This release adds a definitive overflow-x-clip safety net at the html + body level AND pushes all the nav-label gates from xl (1280px) up to 2xl (1536px) so labels only appear when there's actually room inside the centered max-w-7xl container.

Page-Level Safety Net

<html> and <body> get overflow-x-clip — no element can ever cause a horizontal scrollbar on the whole page, regardless of which sub-component goes too wide
Vertical scroll is unaffected (overflow-x-clip is x-axis only)

Nav Label Breakpoints

All top-level nav labels (Events, Clubs, Standings, Dogs, Handlers, Litters, Feed, Stats) — gated to 2xl
Help dropdown label + chevron — gated to 2xl
Add Dog button label — gated to 2xl (still shows the icon)
Avatar button name + chevron — gated to 2xl
Search input — w-28 below 2xl, w-56 at 2xl+
At md/lg/xl: icon-only nav with tooltips and a tight right cluster fits comfortably inside the max-w-7xl container
At 2xl (≥1536px): full labels return because there's actually horizontal room

v2.36.0May 7, 2026

Handler Affiliations

Phase B7 of the SBHA demo change-request batch. Handlers can list the clubs, associations, and other organizations they belong to — pick from the dropdowns of known clubs and associations on the platform, or type a free-text name. Each affiliation can include a role and a 'since' year. Renders publicly on /handlers/[id].

Schema

New user_affiliations table (id, user_id, club_id?, association_id?, free_text_name?, role?, since_year?, sort_order, created_at)
Either club_id, association_id, or free_text_name must be set — server enforces
FKs use ON DELETE SET NULL so deleting a club/association doesn't wipe the affiliation row, just the link
Indexed on user_id, club_id, association_id
Migration 0014 applied to production

API

POST /api/me/affiliations — owner-only, validates FK ids, year range 1900–next year, role ≤ 64 chars, free-text ≤ 128 chars
DELETE /api/me/affiliations/[id] — owner-only, scoped to (user, affiliation)
Rate-limited 30/min/IP

UI

New 'Affiliations' section on /profile with the AffiliationsEditor component
Type selector (Club / Association / Other), context-appropriate input (club dropdown / assoc dropdown / free-text input), optional role + since-year
List of existing rows with trash-icon delete; empty-state copy when none
Public 'Affiliations' section on /handlers/[id] — renders for everyone when the handler has any rows; club entries link through to /clubs/[id]

v2.35.0May 7, 2026

Up to 4 Photos Per Dog

Phase B6 of the SBHA demo change-request batch. Dogs can now have up to 4 photos — banner stays the primary, the rest render in a 'More Photos' grid below the stats. Existing single-photo dogs were backfilled into the new table on deploy.

Schema + Backfill

New dog_photos table (id, dog_id, url, caption, sort_order, created_at) with a dog_id index
Migration 0013 includes a one-shot backfill — every dog with a non-empty dogs.photo_url got a row in dog_photos at sort_order 0. 12 rows backfilled on production.
Legacy dogs.photo_url column kept for backwards compat — banner fallback when dog_photos has no rows for a dog

API

POST /api/dogs/[id]/photos — owner-only. Body { url, caption?, sortOrder? }. Returns 409 when the dog is already at the 4-photo cap.
DELETE /api/dogs/[id]/photos/[photoId] — owner-only, scoped to (dog, photo)

UI

/dogs/[id]/edit now renders a full DogPhotosEditor instead of a single FileUpload — grid of existing photos with delete buttons + an upload slot when there's room
First photo in the grid is labeled 'BANNER' so owners know which one renders on the public profile
Dog profile banner pulls from dog_photos[0] (with fallback to legacy photoUrl)
New 'More Photos' section on the dog profile renders below the stat cards when there are 2+ photos
Brag sheet banner uses the same first-photo logic for consistency

v2.34.0May 7, 2026

Multi-Org Dog Registrations

Phase B5 of the SBHA demo change-request batch. Bird dogs typically carry pedigrees with multiple registries (FDSB + AKC + UKC + NAVHDA + ABC, etc.) — now the app captures every one of them. Existing single-org registrations were backfilled into the new table on deploy.

Schema + Backfill

New dog_registrations table (id, dog_id, organization, registration_number, sort_order, created_at) with a dog_id index
Migration 0012 includes a one-shot INSERT … SELECT that pulled every existing dog.registrationOrg + dog.registrationNum pair into the new table — 10 rows backfilled on production
Legacy dogs.registrationOrg / dogs.registrationNum columns kept for backwards compat — UI still writes the primary org there at create time

API

POST /api/dogs/[id]/registrations — owner-only, allow-listed orgs (AKC, UKC, CKC, FDSB, NAVHDA, ABC, PEDIGREE, Other), rate-limited 30/min/IP
DELETE /api/dogs/[id]/registrations/[regId] — owner-only, scoped to (dog, registration)

UI

/dogs/[id]/edit now has an 'Additional registrations' section under the primary org/number pair
DogRegistrationsEditor: list of existing rows with trash-icon delete, plus an inline add form (org dropdown + number input + Add button)
Dog profile owner-line renders the full list inline (e.g. 'Owner: Angela · FDSB #SS12345 · AKC #SR987 · UKC #UR55')
Backwards compatible: dogs with only the legacy columns still display correctly via a fallback

v2.33.0May 7, 2026

Points Trial / Qualifying Filters + Profile Editing

Phases B3 and B8 of the SBHA demo change-request batch. Events can now be flagged as 'Points Trial' or 'Qualifying Event' with public yes/no filters and pills on event cards; handlers can edit their profile (name, location, bio, avatar) inline on /profile.

Points Trial / Qualifying Event Filters (Phase B3)

Two new boolean columns on events: points_trial and qualifying_event (migration 0011)
EventFilters: tri-state chip rows (Any / Yes / No) for each, in the expanded filter panel
URL params: ?points_trial=yes|no, ?qualifying=yes|no — bookmarkable + shareable
Admin event editor checkbox row gains 'Points Trial' and 'Qualifying Event' toggles
Public event cards: amber 'Points Trial' pill + emerald 'Qualifier' pill render automatically when set
POST /api/admin/events and PUT /api/admin/events/[id] both accept the new flags

Profile Editing (Phase B8)

New PUT /api/me endpoint — owner-only, accepts { name, location, bio, avatarUrl }, validates lengths and rate-limits 30/min/IP
/profile page banner now toggles between read-mode and edit-mode with a Pencil button
Edit mode: FileUpload-backed avatar (3MB max, JPG/PNG/WebP), name, location, bio (4000 chars)
Cancel restores all fields; Save flips back to read mode with the new values
New 'user-avatar' upload kind added to the FileUpload component + /api/uploads

v2.32.0May 7, 2026

Event Judges + Dogs Default Ordering

Phase B2 + B4 of the SBHA demo change-request batch. Club secretaries can now publish a list of judges per event (with optional stake assignment), and the /dogs index defaults to showing your own dogs first.

Event Judges (Phase B2)

New event_judges table with eventId, optional stakeId (NULL = whole trial), name, optional role, optional notes, sort order
POST /api/admin/events/[id]/judges — admin/secretary only, validates stakeId belongs to the event
DELETE /api/admin/events/[id]/judges/[judgeId] — admin/secretary only
Public Judges section on /events/[id] — renders above Stakes when any judges are listed; shows name, role, stake assignment, notes
New JudgesEditor in /admin/events/[id] — name + role + stake dropdown + notes, plus existing-judges list with remove buttons
Migration 0010 applied to production

Dogs Index Default Order (Phase B4)

When signed in, your own dogs are listed first, then everyone else's by recency
Each of your dogs gets a primary-color border ring + a small 'YOU' pill in the corner of the photo
Header subtitle calls out the count: 'N dogs in the database · your X dogs listed first'
Signed-out viewers see the previous recency-only ordering

v2.31.0May 7, 2026

Handlers Directory + Real Nav Overflow Fix

Phase B1 of the SBHA demo change-request batch — new public Owners/Handlers index — plus a proper fix for the nav-overflow regression spotted in the latest screenshot. Avatar button no longer pushes 'Angela' off the right edge of the page.

Real Nav Overflow Fix

Avatar button: name + chevron now hide below xl (≥1280px) — at md/lg the avatar circle alone keeps the right cluster from overflowing the nav. Name + email still appear in the dropdown content when opened.
All nav-link labels gated to xl instead of lg — Events, Clubs, Standings, Dogs, Handlers, Litters, Feed all collapse to icon-only at md/lg with tooltip; full labels at xl
Help dropdown: 'Help' label + chevron also gated to xl
Add Dog button: 'Add Dog' label gated to xl, plus icon shown alone below
Search input: w-28 below xl, w-56 at xl+
Net effect: the entire nav fits comfortably from md (768px) up through xl, with the rich-label experience at typical desktop widths (≥1280px)

Owners/Handlers Directory (Phase B1)

New /handlers index page — public, sortable, searchable
Cards show avatar (or initials), name, location, dog count, title count, competition count
Search by name or location; sort by Most dogs / Most titles / A→Z (URL-encoded so links are bookmarkable)
Hides users with zero dogs by default (still findable via search)
Each card links to the existing /handlers/[id] résumé page
New top-level 'Handlers' tab in the nav (Users icon, between Dogs and Litters)
/handlers added to /sitemap.xml
Open Graph + Twitter card metadata for shareable previews

v2.30.0May 7, 2026

Demo Polish: Nav, Filters, Hero, Avatar Menu

Phases A3+A4+A5 of the SBHA demo change-request batch, plus two visual fixes called out from the screenshots. Multi-select Association filters on /events and /clubs, future-events default with a 'Show archived' toggle, Youth moved from Event Type to Participant Type, avatar menu reordered per deck, and a new /me/dogs page.

Navigation Fixes (in response to screenshots)

Add Dog button: whitespace-nowrap so 'Dog' can no longer break onto a second line; collapses to icon-only at md breakpoint
Search input: tightened to w-32 at md, w-56 at lg
Top-level nav: less-frequent items (Clubs, Standings, Litters, Feed, Stats) collapse to icon-only at md, full labels return at lg
Bird-dog demo mode: 'Stats' removed from top-level nav (most stats are retriever-flavored and already hidden) — moved under the Help dropdown so the URL still works
Hero photo: switched from object-right to object-center because the Chris Mathan photo has the dog on the LEFT of the source image — anchoring right was clipping the head off

Events Page (Phase A3)

Association filter is now multi-select (chip toggles) — pick any number of SBHA, NBHA, AFTCA, ABHA, USCSDA, NGSPA, NRSFTC, NVA
Default to future events: when no explicit start date is set and 'Show archived' is off, today is used as the floor
New 'Show archived (past) events' toggle next to 'Only show events I've saved'
'Youth' moved from Event Type chips to Participant Type chips, per the updated SBHA deck (page 3)
Explanatory copy rewritten: 'Calendar of upcoming American Field-recognized field trials. Sort, filter, and save events you plan to attend.' (replaces the SBHA-only phrasing)
listEvents API extended with associationCodes[] (legacy associationCode still accepted)

Clubs Page (Phase A4)

Association single-select dropdown replaced with multi-select toggle chip row
Each chip Link encodes ?assoc=X&assoc=Y so URLs are bookmarkable + shareable
Search bar preserves current assoc selections via hidden inputs
'Clear' chip when any associations are selected

Avatar Menu / User Admin (Phase A5)

Reordered to match the SBHA deck: My Profile → My Registered Dogs → My Event Registrations → My Saved Itinerary → Dogs I Follow → Saved Searches → Club Admin
New /me/dogs page — focused list of every dog you own with quick title/result counts and a Register-a-Dog button
'My Registrations' renamed to 'My Event Registrations' for clarity
'My Itinerary' renamed to 'My Saved Itinerary'

v2.29.0May 7, 2026

Home Page Refresh: My Field Trial Planner

Phase A2 of the SBHA demo change-request batch. New headline, new paragraph copy, Chris Mathan hero photo with proper credit, and 'Stakes We Track' replaces 'Sports We Track' with eight bird-dog field-trial stake categories that link to a filtered event list.

Hero & Copy

Headline: 'MY FIELD TRIAL PLANNER.' (replaces 'FIELD TRIAL REGISTRATION, DRAWS & CALENDAR.')
Paragraph: 'A central place for owners/handlers to find American Field recognized Field Trials and Clubs, create dog profiles, save events to an itinerary, register and pay for events, see brace assignments, track a dog's points and titles and more.'
Hero image: Chris Mathan pointer-on-point photo, right-aligned with crop space from left to fit the 3/4 portrait frame
Hyperlinked photo credit caption ('Photo: Chris Mathan Sporting Dogs') overlaid in the bottom strip; opens chrismathansportingdogs.com in a new tab
CSP img-src widened to allow image6.photobiz.com and chrismathansportingdogs.com

Stakes We Track

Section renamed from 'Sports We Track' to 'Stakes We Track' (demo mode)
Eight chips replacing the previous sport list: Puppy, Derby, Walking Shooting Dog, Horseback Shooting Dog, Shooting Dog Derby, All Age, Cover Dog, Gun Dog
Each chip is now a clickable Link → /events?q={stake name} for a pre-filtered calendar
Color-coded icons stay; the multi-sport list is preserved and still renders when DEMO_BIRD_DOG_ONLY is off

Search Enhancement

Event search query now also matches stake names — 'Puppy', 'All Age', 'Walking Shooting Dog' all return events with that stake
Implementation: listEvents pre-finds matching stakes, ORs their event IDs into the query result alongside event-name / club-name / grounds / city / state matching
Benefits everyone — not just demo mode — so the change is unconditional

v2.28.0May 7, 2026

Bird-Dog Demo Mode

First batch of changes from the SBHA demo change-request review. Hides retriever and other non-bird-dog content behind a single feature flag (NEXT_PUBLIC_DEMO_BIRD_DOG_ONLY) — engines and data stay intact for later. Designed to be flipped back to the multi-sport build with one env var change + rebuild.

What's hidden in demo mode

SRS Crown Championship and Purina High Point Retriever cards on dog profile, brag sheet, handler résumé, and compare page
SRS / Purina High Point sections on /standings (Purina Pointing Dog Awards remain — those are bird-dog specific)
Per-result SRS / Purina High Point chips in the dog profile competition table
Hunt-test (JH/SH/MH) achievement badges and SRS / Purina High Point badges in the auto-derivation engine
Sport tags in /feed filters, the post composer, and the post-edit popover collapse to just 'Field Trial'
Sport options on the Add Result dialog collapse to 'Field Trial'

Breed list restricted to FDSB pedigreed bird dogs

Three groups in the breed dropdown: Pointers/Setters, Pointing Breeds, European/Rare Breeds
Pointers/Setters: English Pointer, English Setter, Gordon Setter, Irish Setter, Irish Red and White Setter, Llewellin Setter
Pointing Breeds: Brittany (Epagneul Breton), German Shorthaired Pointer, German Wirehaired Pointer, Vizsla, Weimaraner, Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, Spinone Italiano, Wirehaired Vizsla
European/Rare: Bracco Italiano, Braque d'Auvergne, Braque Francais, Large Munsterlander, Small Munsterlander, Pudelpointer, Old Danish Pointing Dog, Portuguese Pointer, Slovakian Wire-haired Pointing Dog
Source: americanfield.com/article/breeds-receiving-fdsb-pedigrees

Implementation

Single feature flag NEXT_PUBLIC_DEMO_BIRD_DOG_ONLY=1 controls everything — flip to 0 (or unset) and rebuild to restore multi-sport content
All hidden surfaces are conditional renders, not deletions — the points engines (SRS, Purina High Point, Purina Pointing) stay in code and continue to compute correctly
Existing dog rows that already have non-bird-dog breeds in the DB still display — only the dropdowns are restricted
Existing posts with hidden sport tags still render their sport pill — only the picker is restricted

v2.27.0May 6, 2026

Public Community Feed

/feed is now publicly readable — share a link to a great training photo or a competition celebration without forcing the recipient to sign in. Posting, liking, and commenting still require an account; existing 'Sign in to comment / like / post' fallbacks already covered the guest experience.

Now Public

/feed page is browsable to anyone — see posts, photos, captions, sport tags, dog tags, comment threads, like counts
Post author + tagged dog names link through to handler / dog profiles (already public)
Guest viewers see read-only state — likes show counts but heart can't be flipped, comments render but the composer prompts 'Sign in to comment'

Still Auth-Required

Posting (POST /api/posts), editing (PUT /api/posts/[id]), deleting (DELETE /api/posts/[id])
Liking and unliking (POST /api/posts/[id]/like)
Commenting (POST /api/posts/[id]/comments) and deleting comments

SEO & Sharing

Open Graph + Twitter card metadata so /feed previews nicely when shared (title, description, default site image)
/feed added to /sitemap.xml at hourly change frequency
robots.txt updated — /feed is now in the Allow list, removed from Disallow

v2.26.0May 6, 2026

Edit Litter Announcements

Completes the CRUD on litters that started with 2.22.0. Breeders can now flip status from Planned → Bred → Born → Available → Sold Out as the litter progresses, fix typos in the description, swap the photo, or correct the parent links — all without deleting and recreating.

Edit API

PUT /api/litters/[id] — breeder-only, rate-limited 30/min/IP
Same field validation as POST: status enum, parent sex match, date format, count bounds (0–30), text length caps
After applying parent updates, server re-checks that each parent is still labelled (linked dog OR free-text name)
Partial updates supported — send only the fields you're changing

Edit UI

New /litters/[id]/edit page — breeder-only (returns 404 to non-breeders to hide existence)
<LitterForm> refactored to a shared component used by both /litters/new and /litters/[id]/edit
Pre-fills every field from the existing row, including resolving linked sire/dam display names from the dogs table
Cancel returns to the litter detail page (or /litters from the new form)
Submit copy adapts: 'Announce litter' on create, 'Save changes' on edit

Surfacing

New 'Edit' button next to Delete in the litter detail page header (only renders when viewer is the breeder)
Middleware now treats /litters/[id]/edit as a private route inside the public /litters prefix

v2.25.0May 6, 2026

Printable Running Order

Club secretaries and judges have been asking — the brace draw is now printable. Same letter-paper print stylesheet as the dog brag sheet (2.11.0), public, no login required, with page-break controls so each stake stays together on a single sheet when possible.

What's on the page

Banner: 'Official Running Order' label, event name, date range, grounds, city/state
Summary line: stake count, brace count, total entries
One section per stake — name, participant type (Open/Amateur/Pro), category (Major/Minor/Derby/etc.), brace count
Per-brace row: brace #, day, scheduled time (or TBD), course label (when set), Dog 1 + Handler 1, Dog 2 + Handler 2, BYE pill when applicable
Generated timestamp + SportingDogs.app branding in the footer

Print Behavior

@page letter-size with 0.4-inch margins
@media print hides the site nav, header, footer, and the in-page Print buttons
page-break-inside: avoid on each stake section so a stake doesn't split mid-table
Print buttons at top and bottom of the paper for both screen reading and printing

Where to find it

New 'Print' button at the top of every /events/[id]/braces running-order page
Direct URL: /events/[id]/braces/print — bookmarkable, shareable, public
Open Graph metadata so the print page also previews nicely when shared
If the brace draw hasn't been run yet, the print page shows the same 'check back after the official drawing' message as the regular running-order page

v2.24.0May 6, 2026

Milestone Notifications: Placements & Litters

Quick consolidating release that hooks two more producers into the dog_milestone notification kind we shipped in 2.23. Following a dog now means you'll see their placements at field trials AND any litter announcement that names them as sire or dam.

Placement Milestones

POST /api/dogs/[id]/results now writes a dog_milestone row for every follower (excluding the owner)
Title: '{Dog name} placed {result} at {event name}'
Body: stake · level · location (whichever are present), or the event date as fallback
Link: deep-links to the dog's profile

Litter Milestones

POST /api/litters now writes a dog_milestone row for every follower of the sire AND the dam (excluding the breeder)
Each follower gets one row even if they happen to follow both parents (deduped per user)
Title: '{Followed dog} {sired|whelped} a new litter'
Body: litter name, or '{sire} × {dam} · {status}' if the litter has no name
Link: deep-links to /litters/[id]

Why this matters

Following 'that dog who keeps winning Open at Roxboro' is now actually useful — you find out about every placement
Breeders following a stud get pinged automatically when their go-to sire has a new litter announcement
Owners of sire/dam dogs don't get duplicate notifications about their own litter (skipped on the producer side)

v2.23.0May 6, 2026

Follow Dogs You Care About

Star any dog on the platform — your kid's litter sire, a rival's standout performer, the dam of your next pup — and get a notification the moment they earn a new title. Foundation for following placements and litters in future releases.

Follow Dogs

New Follow / Following toggle button on every dog profile (next to Brag Sheet)
Filled gold star + 'Following' label when you've followed a dog
Follower counter visible on the button (e.g. 'Follow (8)')
Optimistic-flip UI — instant visual feedback, reverts if the request fails
Guest viewers see a 'Sign in to follow' link that bounces to login with the right next= URL

My Follows

New /me/follows page in the avatar menu — grid of every dog you follow
Each card shows photo, registered name, breed, sex, owner, and quick title/results counts
Click any card to jump to the full dog profile

New Notification Kind: dog_milestone

When a followed dog earns a new title (POST /api/dogs/[id]/titles), every follower gets an inbox row
Title: '{Dog name} earned a new title: {code}'
Body: full title name, organization, and date
Link: deep-link to the dog's profile
Owner is excluded — they obviously already know

API & Data

POST /api/dogs/[id]/follow — toggle endpoint, idempotent (calling twice ends up unfollowed). Returns { following, count }
Rate-limited at 60 toggles per IP per minute
New `dog_follows` table (user_id, dog_id, created_at) with a UNIQUE INDEX on (user_id, dog_id) preventing duplicate follow rows
Indexed on user_id and dog_id for fast inbox + follower lookups
Migration 0009 applied to production

v2.22.0May 6, 2026

Litter Announcements

Breeders can now announce upcoming, expected, born, available, and sold-out litters tied to a registered sire and dam (or free-text names if a parent isn't on the platform). Each announcement is public — shareable to puppy buyers, breed clubs, and whoever asks. Connects the pedigree work from 2.8 to a real-world breeding workflow.

New /litters Section

Public /litters index — grid of every announcement, status pill (Planned / Bred / Born / Available / Sold Out), photo, sire × dam, expected/born date, breeder name
Public /litters/[id] detail — full description, breeder contact (email shown to signed-in viewers, 'Sign in to contact' for guests), male/female counts, photo banner
/litters/new form (auth) — DogPicker autocomplete for sire (Male) and dam (Female), with free-text fallback for parents not on the platform
Status, expected date, born date, male/female counts, description (4000 char), litter photo (existing FileUpload kind), and a contact note
New 'Litters' tab in the desktop and mobile nav (Bone icon)

Pedigree Tie-In

Each registered parent dog now shows a 'Litters' section on their profile when announcements reference them
Cards label 'Sired litter' or 'Whelped litter' depending on which parent the dog is
Status pill + born/expected date per card; click to read the full announcement

API & Validation

POST /api/litters — auth required, rate-limited 10/min/IP
Sire and dam must be labelled (linked dog or free-text name) — at least one of each
If linked, server verifies the dog exists and the sex matches (sire must be Male, dam must be Female)
status enum enforced server-side; date fields validated; counts capped 0–30
DELETE /api/litters/[id] — breeder-only

Data & Discoverability

New `litters` table with FK refs to dogs (ON DELETE SET NULL — deleting a dog doesn't wipe the announcement, just the link)
Indexed on breeder, sire, dam, status
Migration 0008 applied to production
Litter URLs included in /sitemap.xml and Open Graph card metadata
Public route added to middleware (auth still required for /litters/new)

v2.21.0May 6, 2026

Edit Posts In Place

Quick follow-on to 2.20.0 — fix that typo, retag the right dog, or change the sport label without deleting and reposting. Inline pencil-icon popover on /feed posts you own; saves with one click.

Edit API

PUT /api/posts/[id] — author-only, rate-limited 30/min/IP
Editable: caption, dogId, sport
Not editable here: media (re-uploading would be a new feature)
Server enforces 'caption can't be empty when there's no media'
dogId must be a dog you own (returns 403 otherwise — same rule as create)
sport restricted to the same allow-list as create

Inline Editor

Pencil icon next to the trash on your own posts
Click → small popover with textarea + dog/sport dropdowns
Cancel restores the original values; Save flips back to read mode and refreshes the feed
<article> elements are now id'd as #post-{id} so the comment_reply notification deep-link from 2.19 works

v2.20.0May 6, 2026

Create & Delete Posts

The community feed is finally writable. Inline composer at the top of /feed lets you share a caption, attach a photo, tag one of your dogs, and label it with a sport. Authors can delete their own posts (likes and comments cascade). Closes the loop on the social loop started in 2.19.

Inline Composer

Collapsed state: a single 'Share an update…' input next to your avatar — minimal noise on the feed
Expanded state: textarea + photo upload + dog tag dropdown (your dogs only) + sport tag
Photo upload uses the existing 'post-media' upload kind so files land in the same /uploads/ tree as before
Caption max 4,000 chars; mediaUrl validated; sport restricted to the same allow-list used in the filter chips
Cancel restores the collapsed state and clears all fields
Send button disabled until you have a caption or media

API

POST /api/posts — auth required, rate-limited 20/min/IP
Either caption OR mediaUrl required (or both)
dogId only accepted if you own the dog (returns 403 otherwise — no tagging other people's dogs)
DELETE /api/posts/[id] — author-only; likes and comments cascade via FK
type column derived server-side: 'video' | 'photo' | 'text'

UI Polish

Trash icon next to your own posts (with confirm-Yes/No flow before deleting)
Author name and tagged dog now link to /handlers/[id] and /dogs/[id]
Guest viewers see a 'Sign in' callout where the composer would be

v2.19.0May 6, 2026

Likes, Comments & Reply Notifications

The /feed buttons that have looked clickable since launch are finally wired up. Real likes, real comments, and the notification kind we declared back in 2.16 — comment_reply — now actually fires when someone replies to your post.

Likes

POST /api/posts/[id]/like — toggle endpoint, idempotent (calling twice ends up unliked)
Returns { liked, count } so the client can render exact post-toggle state
Optimistic UI on /feed — heart fills + counter bumps before the network round-trip resolves; reverts on failure
Hearts are red and filled when liked, outlined and muted when not
Rate-limited at 60 toggles per IP per minute

Comments

POST /api/posts/[id]/comments — create a comment (text required, max 2000 chars)
DELETE /api/posts/[id]/comments/[commentId] — author OR post-owner can delete
/feed gets a real comment composer below each post (Send icon button, focus-ring style)
Commenter avatars + names render with handler-profile links
Trash icon on hover for comments you can delete
View-all expander when there are more than 2 comments
Rate-limited at 30 comments per IP per minute

Comment Reply Notifications

When you comment on someone else's post, a comment_reply notification lands in their inbox
Title: '{your name} commented on your post'
Body: a 120-char preview of your comment
Link: deep-link to the post (/feed#post-{id})
Self-comments are skipped (no self-pings)

Auth Behavior

Guest viewers see read-only likes and comments + a 'Sign in to comment' link
Click a heart while signed out → bounced to /auth/login?next=/feed

v2.18.0May 6, 2026

Saved-Search Hits Hit the Inbox

The hourly saved-search digest cron now writes a notification row alongside every email it sends, so the bell icon lights up the moment new matching events get posted. Quick follow-on to the 2.16 inbox foundation — more producers means the inbox actually gets used.

New Producer

Hourly cron at /api/cron/saved-search-digest now calls createNotification() for every saved-search match
Notification kind: saved_search_hit (renders with the Search icon in the inbox)
Title: '{N} new event{s} match "{search name}"'
Body: lists up to the first three event names plus '+N more' if there are additional matches
Link: deep-links to /events?{filters} so one click reruns the search

Why this matters

Email is great for week-aware planning, but the bell badge is what handlers check between sessions
No double-emailing — the cron's idempotent watermark (lastNotifiedAt) still controls whether the digest fires; both email and notification are sent in the same window
Saved searches without an email frequency still receive the inbox row whenever the cron runs (since the watermark moves regardless)

Coming next

Comment-reply notifications (need a comment-write API first)
Like notifications (probably opt-in to avoid noise)
Cron-job summary for super-admins

v2.17.0May 6, 2026

Achievement Badges

Auto-derived achievement chips on every dog profile and brag sheet. Pure derivations from existing titles, results, health clearances, and offspring — nothing new to enter, surprises pop up the moment you add a qualifying placement or title.

Title Badges

Hunt Test ladder: Junior Hunter / Senior Hunter / Master Hunter (only the highest tier shows)
Field Trial: Field Champion (FC), Amateur Field Champion (AFC), National Field Champion (NFC)
Dual Champion — when a dog carries both FC and AFC
NAVHDA: Versatile Champion (VC), UT Prize I
10× Titled badge for prolific competitors

Performance Badges

100 Runs Club / 25+ Competitions — total competition volume
Qualifying Runs counter — total qualifying placements

Where they show up

Top of every dog profile, right under the header
Dedicated 'Achievements' section on the printable brag sheet
Color-coded by tone: amber (titles/SRS), red (Purina), emerald (health), blue/violet (dam/sire), slate (volume)
Hover any chip for the explanation behind it

v2.16.0May 6, 2026

Notifications Inbox

An in-app inbox at /me/notifications, a bell icon in the nav with a live unread badge, and the first producer wired up: event registrations now drop a confirmation row when an entry goes through (free, manual, or paid via Stripe). Foundation for saved-search-hit and comment-reply notifications in future releases.

Inbox

New /me/notifications page — shows the 100 most recent notifications, grouped chronologically
Unread rows are highlighted with a primary-color border and a small dot
Each row: kind icon (Trophy / Search / MessageCircle / Sparkles), title, optional body, time-ago, deep link, and a dismiss button
'Mark all read' button at the top, disabled when there's nothing unread
Empty-state when the inbox is clean

Bell Icon

New bell button in the nav header (left of the avatar menu)
Red badge with unread count — '99+' if the queue runs deep
Polls /api/me/notifications?unread=1 every 60 seconds while signed in
One-click jump to the inbox

API

GET /api/me/notifications?unread=1&limit=N&since=ISO — paginated, returns rows + unread count
POST /api/me/notifications/read-all — flips every unread row to read in one round trip
PATCH /api/me/notifications/[id] — mark a single row read
DELETE /api/me/notifications/[id] — dismiss a row
All endpoints owner-scoped; cross-user access returns nothing

Producers Wired Up

POST /api/events/[id]/register inserts a row immediately after a free or manual registration is recorded
Stripe webhook inserts a 'Payment received' row when payment_intent.succeeded fires, in parallel with the existing email confirmation
All inserts are fire-and-forget — if the notification fails to write, the originating action still succeeds

Schema

New `notifications` table (id, user_id, kind, title, body, link, read_at, created_at)
Indexed on (user_id, created_at) and (user_id, read_at) for fast inbox + unread-count lookups
Migration 0007 applied to production

v2.15.0May 6, 2026

Handler Career Résumé

Mirror of the dog brag sheet, but for handlers — print-friendly career résumé aggregating every dog you own. Avatar + bio banner, career snapshot across all dogs combined, a card for each dog with their own SRS/Purina chips, and the 15 most recent results across the whole kennel.

Handler Brag Sheet

New /handlers/[id]/brag page — public, server-rendered, mirrors the dog brag sheet pattern from 2.11.0
Banner: avatar (or initials), name, location, contact (or 'Sign in to contact' for guests), bio
Career snapshot: Dogs Owned, Titles Earned, Competitions, Qualify Rate, SRS Crown total, Purina High Point total. Purina Pointing total appears below when non-zero
Per-dog grid: name, breed, sex glyph, plus inline chips for titles count, results count, SRS, Purina
Recent results table (last 15 across all dogs) with dog name, event, stake, result, and computed point chip
Letter-paper print stylesheet — same one as the dog brag sheet

Surfacing

New 'Career Résumé' button on every handler profile, top-right of the banner
Open Graph + Twitter card metadata using the handler's avatar (or fallback) when shared
Sitemap now includes /handlers/[id]/brag for every handler

Why this matters

Hand a print-out (or share a link) to a sponsor, club secretary, or judge
Easy to compare two handlers' careers side by side via two URLs
Public — no sign-in required to view or print

v2.14.0May 6, 2026

Site-wide Search

One search box, four kinds of results: dogs, handlers, clubs, events. Lives in the desktop nav and the mobile hamburger, returns categorized results on /search, and is publicly accessible (no login required) so guests can find their way around too.

Search Page

New /search?q=... page — server-rendered, public, sectioned by entity type
Dogs section: photo, registered name, breed, sex — links to dog profile
Handlers section: avatar/initials, name, location — links to handler profile
Clubs section: name + location — links to club page
Events section: name, date range, grounds/city/state — links to event detail
Each section caps at 12 results to keep the page fast and scannable

Nav Search Box

New search input in the desktop nav (between the Help dropdown and Add Dog)
Mobile hamburger menu also gets a full-width search input at the top
Submitting either form takes you to /search?q=... — bookmarkable, shareable

API

GET /api/search?q=...&limit=N — public, no auth required
Returns { dogs, handlers, clubs, events, counts } categorized
LIKE-based partial matching on names, registered names, club locations, event grounds and city
Per-category cap (default 8, max 20)
Rejects queries shorter than 2 chars to avoid scanning the whole DB

v2.13.0May 6, 2026

SEO, Sitemap & Social Sharing

Pasting a dog profile, brag sheet, event page, club page, or handler résumé into iMessage, Slack, Facebook, or Twitter now produces a real preview card with the dog's name, photo, and stats. Search engines can finally crawl the public catalog via /sitemap.xml and /robots.txt.

Open Graph & Twitter Cards

Default OG and Twitter card metadata in the root layout (icon-512 image, summary_large_image card)
/dogs/[id] uses the dog's photo, registered name, breed, and owner in the card
/dogs/[id]/brag uses the dog's photo with a 'Brag Sheet' suffix and a stat-rich description
/handlers/[id] uses the handler's avatar, name, location, and dog count
/events/[id] shows event name, dates, and venue
/clubs/[id] shows club name and bio (or a generated description)
All pages inherit a sensible SportingDogs.app fallback if a specific image isn't available

Sitemap & robots.txt

/sitemap.xml — Next.js MetadataRoute.Sitemap, enumerates static pages plus rows for every dog, handler, club, and event (capped at 5,000 each)
Per-URL <changeFrequency> and <priority> tuned to update cadence: events daily, dogs weekly, docs monthly
/robots.txt — explicitly allows public read pages, disallows /api/, /admin/, /me/, and edit/register sub-routes
Sitemap referenced from robots.txt so crawlers can discover it

Why this matters

Sharing a brag sheet to a breeder group chat now produces a rich preview, not a bare URL
Google can index the public catalog — handlers searching for 'their dog name SBHA' should start finding profiles
Backlinks to clubs and events are no longer broken or anonymous when shared

v2.12.0May 6, 2026

Public Read-Only Access

Field trial calendars, dog profiles, brag sheets, handler résumés, club pages, standings, and stats are now visible to anyone — no login required. Members still need to sign in to register, post, edit, or see contact info. Share a link with a judge, breeder, or prospective puppy buyer and it just works.

Now Public

Site nav now shows both 'Sign In' and a 'Sign up free' button for guests

v2.11.0May 6, 2026

Printable Dog Brag Sheet

A clean one-page résumé for any dog — banner photo, full titled name, vital stats, career snapshot, full title list, health clearances, pedigree, and recent results. Tuned for letter-size printing or save-as-PDF, with all the site chrome stripped out.

What's on the brag sheet

Banner with the dog's photo, full titled name (prefix titles + registered name + suffix titles), call name, breed, sex, age, height/weight, color, registration org/number, and owner
Career snapshot: Titles count, Competitions count, Qualify Rate, SRS Crown total, Purina High Point, Purina Pointing total
Full title list as a table (code, name, organization, sport, date)
Full health clearances table (type, result, organization, date, certificate number)
Pedigree section showing sire, dam, and offspring names
Recent competition results (up to 8 most recent) with dates, event, stake, result, and points
Generated date + SportingDogs.app footer for credibility when shared

Printing & Sharing

New /dogs/[id]/brag route — server-rendered, deterministic, shareable
'Brag Sheet' button on every dog profile (next to Compare and Edit)
Print / Save as PDF buttons at the top and bottom of the sheet
Print stylesheet hides nav, header, and footer chrome — just the paper
@page letter-size with 0.4-inch margins
page-break-inside: avoid on each section so titles, health, and results don't split mid-table

Use cases

Hand to a judge before a stake
Share with a breeder considering a stud match
Email to a prospective puppy buyer along with the dam's brag sheet
Quick reference at the trial when chatting with another handler

v2.10.0May 6, 2026

Compare Dogs Side by Side

Stack up to 4 dogs in a single view: photos, basics, titles, health clearances, qualify rate, SRS Crown points, Purina High Point, and Purina Pointing totals — all rendered as columns so you can scan across at a glance. Useful for breeding decisions, picking a stud, or just bragging.

Compare Page

New /dogs/compare page accepting up to 4 dog IDs via the ?ids= URL parameter
Photo header card per dog with name, registered name, and a quick remove (X) control
Comparison rows: Sex, Breed, Age, Height, Weight, Owner, Titles (with up to 3 chips), Health Clearances, Total Results, Qualify Rate, SRS Crown, Purina High Point, Purina Pointing
Section dividers separate Achievements vs Competition rows

Adding & Removing Dogs

Picker at the bottom uses the same DogPicker autocomplete shipped in 2.8.0
Maximum of 4 dogs at a time — extra picks ignored
Removing the last dog returns you to the empty-state with the picker primed
URL state means comparisons are bookmarkable and shareable

Surfacing

New 'Compare' button in the /dogs header (next to Register Dog)
New 'Compare' button in every dog profile header (right next to Edit) — preloads the URL with that dog as the first column

v2.9.0May 6, 2026

4-Generation Pedigree Tree View

The classic horse-pedigree grid: subject on the left, parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents fanning out to the right. Linked names are clickable so you can pivot anywhere in the family tree. Builds directly on 2.8.0's pedigree linking.

Pedigree Tree

New /dogs/[id]/pedigree page with a 4-generation tree (subject + parents + grandparents + great-grandparents)
Sire-side cells get a blue accent border, dam-side cells get a pink one — matches breed-conventional pedigree colors
Each cell shows registered name (or call name), sex glyph, breed, and birth year
Empty cells show 'Unknown parent / grandparent / ancestor' so you know what's missing
Free-text-only ancestors (sire/dam name without a linked dog) render with an 'not on platform' note
Fully responsive: classic 4-column grid on desktop, linear list on mobile

Navigation

New 'View 4-Gen Tree' link in the Pedigree section of every dog profile
Every name in the tree links to the corresponding dog's profile (when registered)
Click a great-grandparent → land on their profile → click their pedigree → walk back further generations

Data Integrity

Cycle detection: if a dog appears twice in its own ancestry chain (shouldn't happen, but defensive code), the inner cell renders without re-walking
Deleted parent IDs are tolerated — fall back to free-text name when present
All in-memory pedigree walking; no extra DB hits beyond the existing dog snapshot

v2.8.0May 6, 2026

Pedigree Linking

Sire and Dam fields now autocomplete against every dog registered on the platform. Pick from the dropdown and the parent becomes a real link — click through to see the parent's profile, and the parent's profile shows their offspring back. Free-text still works for sires and dams not on the site.

Pedigree Autocomplete

Sire and Dam fields on /dogs/new and /dogs/[id]/edit now search the dogs table as you type
Suggestions filter by sex automatically (Sire → Male only, Dam → Female only)
Excludes the dog being edited so you can't pick yourself as your own parent
Picking a suggestion 'links' the field — visually highlighted with a check icon and an unlink button
Free-text fallback still works when the parent isn't registered on the platform

Clickable Pedigree on the Dog Profile

Sire and Dam render as links when they point to a registered dog
New 'Offspring' section lists every child whose sireId or damId points to this dog
Each offspring chip shows their sex (♂/♀) and links to their profile
Building blocks for a full multi-generation pedigree tree in a future release

API & Data

New columns dogs.sire_id and dogs.dam_id (nullable varchar(64))
POST /api/dogs and PUT /api/dogs/[id] validate parent links: parent must exist, sex must match, and a dog can't be its own parent
GET /api/dogs/search?q=...&exclude=...&sex=Male|Female — auth-only autocomplete (max 10 results, min 2 chars)
Migration 0006 applied to production

v2.7.0May 6, 2026

Private Training Journal

Log training sessions per dog — what you worked on, where, how long, and the conditions. Entries are owner-private (no one but you can see them) so you can be honest about wins and struggles. Big leap toward making the platform genuinely useful between events, not just at them.

Training Journal

New 'Training Journal' section on the dog profile (visible only to the owner)
Log entries: date, session type (Yard / Marks / Blinds / Field / Conditioning / Bird Work / Obedience / Vet / Other), duration, weather, location, free-form notes
Up to 4000-character notes per entry — room for real reflection
Most recent 50 entries shown, sorted newest first
Inline trash icon on each entry for quick removal
Privacy-pill makes it obvious entries aren't public

API

POST /api/dogs/[id]/training — owner-only, validates date (no future dates), session type, duration (0–1440 min), and notes length
DELETE /api/dogs/[id]/training/[entryId] — owner-only, scoped to (dog, owner)
Rate-limited at 60 entries/min per IP to keep abuse low while allowing legitimate quick logging

Schema

New `training_log` table with indexes on (dog_id) and (owner_id, date) for fast lookups
Migration 0005 applied to production

v2.6.0May 6, 2026

Inline Title & Health Clearance Management

Owners can now add and remove titles and health clearances directly from the dog profile — no more waiting on data imports. Each section gets an 'Add' button (with smart presets) and inline delete controls.

Add & Remove Titles

New 'Add Title' dialog on the dog profile (owner only)
Quick-pick chips for common titles: JH, SH, MH, NA Prize I, UT Prize I, VC, FC, AFC, NFC, MACH
Auto-fills full name, sport, and prefix/suffix flag when you pick a preset
Custom titles supported — manually enter code, name, organization, sport, and date
Inline trash icon next to each title for quick removal (with confirm)
POST /api/dogs/[id]/titles, DELETE /api/dogs/[id]/titles/[titleId] — owner-only

Add & Remove Health Clearances

New 'Add Clearance' dialog with type-aware result dropdowns
Hip → Excellent / Good / Fair / Borderline / Mild / Moderate / Severe
Elbow → Normal / Grade I / II / III; Eye/Cardiac/Patella/Thyroid → Clear / Affected / Carrier
DNA panels (EIC, DM, PRA, CNM) → Clear / Carrier / Affected
Optional certificate number and expiration date
Inline delete on each clearance row
POST /api/dogs/[id]/health, DELETE /api/dogs/[id]/health/[hcId] — owner-only

Owner Controls Visible Only When Logged In

Add buttons & trash icons only render when the session user is the dog's owner
Empty Titles / Health Clearances sections still show for owners (with the Add button) so adding the first item is one click
Visitors see the same clean read-only profile as before

v2.5.0May 6, 2026

Edit Dogs & Public Handler Profiles

Two crosslink-heavy additions: handlers can now edit (and delete) their own dogs, and every handler name on the platform now links to a public profile page that aggregates their dogs and career results.

Edit & Delete Dogs

New /dogs/[id]/edit page with the full registration form pre-populated
PUT /api/dogs/[id] — owner-only update with validation (height 1–60, weight 1–500, DOB not in future, allowed breed groups, allowed sex)
DELETE /api/dogs/[id] — owner-only delete, blocked when there are registrations or competition results on file
'Edit' button on the dog profile page (owner only)
Photo upload in edit mode replaces the current photo

Public Handler Profiles

New /handlers/[id] page with handler avatar, location, bio, and email
Career stats: total dogs, total titles, combined SRS Crown points, combined Purina total
Per-dog grid linking to each dog's profile, with quick stats (titles, results count)
Recent results table (last 15 across all owned dogs) with placement badges and earned points

Crosslinks

Handler names on event running-order (brace draws) now link to /handlers/[id]
Handler column on event results page links to /handlers/[id]
Owner name on dog profile links to /handlers/[id]
Makes it easy to jump from a placement → handler → their other dogs → those dogs' results

Form Refactor

Dog registration and edit share a single <DogForm /> component
Submit calls /api/dogs (POST) for create or /api/dogs/[id] (PUT) for edit
Cancel returns to wherever you came from

v2.4.0May 6, 2026

Saved Searches & Help Menu

Subscribe to filter combinations on the events page and get notified when new matching events are posted. Plus housekeeping: dropdown Help menu (Documentation + What's New), club editing, dog photo uploads, and a real dog registration form.

Saved Searches & Email Subscriptions

New 'Save Search' button on /events captures the current filter combination
Pick frequency: As they're posted (within an hour), Daily, Weekly, or save without emails
New /me/saved-searches page lists every subscription with last-notified date
Edit frequency or delete searches from the same page
Hourly cron sends digest emails for new matching events; idempotent so retries don't double-send
Saved-searches link added to the avatar menu

Navigation & Layout

Removed standalone Home nav item — the logo is now the home link
Documentation and What's New consolidated into a single Help dropdown to free up nav real estate
Mobile hamburger menu also groups Help items under their own section

Club Editing

Club details (name, contact, website, location, description) can be edited from /admin/clubs/[id]
PUT /api/admin/clubs/[id] with validation; DELETE blocked when events still exist

Dog Registration

Replaced the placeholder /dogs/new form with a real one
Photo upload via drag-and-drop or file picker (saved to /uploads/dog-photo/)
POST /api/dogs validates breed, breed group, sex, DOB, height/weight ranges
Submit creates the dog in MySQL, redirects to its profile

v2.3.0May 6, 2026

Public Clubs Index & Dog Results History

Two new public discovery surfaces — the full clubs directory and a per-dog results table — so handlers can browse clubs by upcoming events and review every result a dog has logged across the platform.

New /clubs page lists every host club with name, location, association badges, and upcoming event count
Sort: clubs with upcoming events surface first, alphabetical within each tier
Search by club name, city, or state

Sortable by date, sport, placement, points

Filter by year, sport, qualifying-only
Linked from the dog profile page above the embedded recent-results section

v2.2.0May 6, 2026

Standings, Search & Self-Serve Admin

Post-event results loop closed: placements + earned points show on the public results page, a season-long Standings dashboard ranks every dog by SRS Crown and Purina, and clubs can invite their own admins from the UI.

Public Results Page

New /events/[id]/results page with per-stake placements (1st through JAM), points earned, and direct links to each dog's profile
Placement entry UI: secretaries click 'Record' next to a registration, pick placement, save — auto-creates the competition_results row
Three points engines surfaced on every placed entry: SRS Crown (amber), Purina Retriever (red), Purina Pointing-Dog (green)
Public link added to event detail page next to 'Running Order'

Season Standings Dashboard

New /standings page aggregates competition results across every event

Deploy Reliability

NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=768 caps build memory so the 1 GB droplet doesn't OOM-kill mid-build
Disk pressure fix: KEEP_RELEASES dropped from 10 to 3 (each release dir is ~1 GB)
Local-build → tarball → scp → atomic symlink swap pattern documented as fallback
Critical security fixes: /api/events/[id]/draw and /api/registrations/[id]/result now gate on canManageEvent (was open to any logged-in user)

v2.1.0May 5, 2026
