Weekly Update: Apr 12-18, 2026

Quick version of what shipped Apr 12-18.

Peregrine

  • Resume library to profile sync: pick a saved resume, review the before/after diff, push to your active profile
  • References tracker and recommendation letter drafts added to the Apply workspace
  • GitHub Actions CI live

Kiwi

  • Recipe engine now suggests dishes for near-expired and post-expiry ingredients. Stale bread becomes croutons, day-old rice becomes fried rice. The engine knows what things become, not just what they are.
  • Hierarchical subcategory navigation in the recipe browser (Italian → Sicilian, Tuscan, etc.)
  • Title search and sort. "Can make now" pantry match toggle. Complexity badges. Surprise Me and Just Pick One pickers. Full JSON backup export.
  • Barcode miss fallback: tries Open Beauty Facts and Open Products Facts when Open Food Facts comes up empty
  • Meal planner improvements: slot editor, meal type picker, current-week auto-select

Snipe

  • Search with AI: describe what you want, Snipe builds the eBay query using a local LLM (no data leaves your machine)
  • Reported sellers tracking with community blocklist opt-in
  • Listing detail page with trust score ring, signal breakdown, seller history panel
  • Dark/light theme toggle in Settings
  • eBay webhook compliance fix

circuitforge-core (MIT)

  • Community module shipped: shared PostgreSQL infrastructure so Kiwi and Snipe can contribute trust signals to a cross-product pool. Foundation live; fine-tuning loop is next.

Crossbill (new)

  • First working build. Personal finance clarity tool for neurodivergent users. No guilt framing, no urgency UX, no countdown timers. Design spec complete; v0.1 in progress.

Next week: wire Peregrine and Snipe to the local inference coordinator, run the Phase 1 load test, ship Crossbill v0.1.

Questions welcome.
