Plate and well views now have skip buttons at either end of the observation navigator. Instead of stepping through dozens of timepoints one by one, you can jump directly to the first or last observation with a single click — useful when you want to compare the starting condition against the endpoint, or quickly get to the most recent capture.

The AI Assistant can now generate real CSV files instead of pasting tabular text into chat. Ask it to list top plates by observation count, export a filtered culture list, or rank a subset of cultures — and a "Download CSV" card appears directly in the conversation, ready to save.
You can also ask the assistant to export a specific subset of cultures, so the output matches exactly the cultures you've already ranked or reviewed rather than returning the full plate.
Reviewers can now navigate through a filtered list of cultures directly from the well page using keyboard shortcuts or click controls, without losing their place in the Cultures view. Each step prefetches the next culture for instant loading, and a compact "Culture X of N" header keeps context visible at a glance. When you return to the Cultures list, your search, filters, sort, and scroll position are all restored, with the last-visited culture highlighted and auto-scrolled into view.
The dashboard, plate, well, and Cultures views now natively support setups with both adherent and suspension cell types. The dashboard dynamically selects the right metrics and histograms based on cell type. The Cultures list gains a new Cell Type column — visible only when both types are present in the current list — and filters have been updated accordingly. On plate and well pages, display logic, sidebar content, and legends all adapt to the cell type of the selected culture.
Fixed a bug where editing a draft message mid-sentence would snap the cursor to the end of the text on each keystroke.
Montage viewer now renders rectangular-sensor images with correct proportions, supporting CellShot's four preset grid layouts.
A subtle spinner now appears while navigating between observations, confirming that a new image is on its way.
When the assistant encounters an unexpected startup error, it now shows a clear actionable message instead of raw technical output.
The AI assistant now reliably creates clickable links to cultures, plates, and datasets in its responses, regardless of how tools return the data.
Self-hosted deployments now ship as a single app bundle with auto-created secrets and a one-command deploy for air-gapped RHEL hosts.
Holding an arrow key or compass control now steps through smoothly and predictably, and zoom levels are preserved when moving between uncached well observations.
