# Changelog What changed, newest first. Unreleased changes are on main and ship in the next version. ## Unreleased ### Oct 17, 2026 · Layout intents - Put a title at the start of a line and its buttons at the end, with the buttons dropping below when there's no room, with `layout.headline` - Put an icon, avatar or logo beside its text without it shrinking, with `layout.labelled`; `layout.badged` now points there for an icon beside its label - Let a wide table or long code line scroll sideways inside its column, with `layout.scroller`; `layout.table` says to wrap wide tables in it - Lay out a settings row with its label on the left and its switch on the right, with `layout.setting` - Give a settings or account page its own section nav beside the content, with `layout.subnav` - Sign-in and confirmation pages centre their heading, text and buttons, while a form inside keeps the full width, in `layout.task` - Grids fit as many columns as their own width allows, so the same grid works in a sidebar and across a page, in `layout.collection`; set columns from a breakpoint only when the count matters - A form's submit bar pinned to the bottom on phones now counts as a use of `layout.dock` - Filter pills and other buttons in `layout.toolbar` keep their own padding and sit apart with a small gap, instead of the first one losing its padding and lines drawn between them - The libraries are published as `@prongsjs/core`, `@prongsjs/ui`, `@prongsjs/errors` and `@prongsjs/logs`; the CLI is still `npx prongs` - On wider screens `dialog.media` fits its photo again, instead of stretching to the full height of the screen with empty space below - Docs site: repeated layout tweaks down from 51 to 40 kinds, and from 396 to 253 class uses - The README now explains intents, domains and profiles, and the format spec is on its own page at `/docs/spec` - The guide now introduces Prongs as a spec, a framework and presets for UI, errors and logs that you extend with your own intents, and the checking page lists the errors and logs rules too - Links to prongs.dev now show the preview image when shared, and the site description and preview card describe the spec, framework and presets instead of UI alone ### Oct 17, 2026 · Spec gaps - Export your registry as JSON for tools in other languages with `prongs export`; it matches the spec's `schema.json` - Attach your own data to an intent, like an owner or a design link, with `meta` and prefixed keys such as `com.example/owner` - Registry problems now carry a stable code, like `unknown-ref`, so tools can act on them without reading the message - Deprecating an intent without saying what replaces it is now a warning - The spec now covers what each status means, a checker's findings, intents at run time, security and what counts as a breaking change, and has conformance tests any implementation can run and a changelog page ### Oct 17, 2026 · Layout tweaks - `prongs check` finds the same layout class added to the same `` intent in three or more places, and says whether an intent already has it, whether it does nothing, or whether one is missing; `check --suggest` lists them too (`repeated-tweak`) - Hide or show a region by screen size, or push it to one end of its row, with `hideBelow`, `showBelow` and `align` on `` - `align="end"` now pushes an action, field or image to the end of a row as well as a column, the same as on ``; before, in a row it moved it to the bottom instead - `layout.section` is now the stack for separate blocks in a region, with or without a title, and `layout.group` points there for them - Columns no longer overflow their row or grid when their content is wide, with `min-w-0` on every stacking intent - Pages and panels have less padding on phones and the same on larger screens, and a call site's own padding still wins, in `layout.page`, `layout.article` and `layout.panel` - A loading placeholder without a size shows as a full-width line instead of nothing, with `layout.loading` - Task pages and app shells fill the visible screen on phones, not the height behind the browser's bars, in `layout.task` and `layout.shell` ### Oct 17, 2026 · Device status - The analytics guide shows how to turn intent events into decisions, with worked examples and what the events cannot tell you - Whole table rows that open a record's details on click, with `action.inspect` on its name - Show an amount as a row of blocks, like a battery, coloured by level, with `layout.blocks` and `layout.blocks.cell` - An icon with a status dot on its corner, like a device and whether it is online, with `layout.badged` - Statuses as colour-coded outlined pills with `text.status` - A showcase of featured items now stacks top to bottom on small screens, instead of squeezing side by side, and pointing at an item no longer moves the others: mark its caption with `data-caption`, in `layout.showcase.item` - A photo opened large fills a phone screen, with the photo as a full-width square between its title and details, and the page behind stays still while it's open, with `dialog.media` and `media.enlarged` - A status dot pulses while something is in progress with `data-busy` on `text.indicator`, and `data-off` on a table row greys out something switched off ### Oct 16, 2026 · Gallery intents - Galleries where the item in focus widens and the rest make room, with `layout.showcase` - Sliders with `field.range`, a bar that stays at the bottom with `layout.dock`, and covers and posters with `media.artwork` - Step to the next item in a sequence, like the next photo in a lightbox, with `action.skip` - A gallery example in the home page's examples ### Oct 15, 2026 · Dashboard intents - Meters for amounts like battery or storage (`layout.meter`) and a `
` frame for charts (`layout.chart`) - Sortable table columns (`action.sort`) and pagination (`layout.pager`, `nav.paging`) - Status colours for `text.indicator`: `data-tone="success"`, `"warning"` and more - Pull quotes (`text.quote`), standalone links like Learn more with an arrow and no underline (`action.more`), and `layout.teaser` and `nav.item` in the starter registry - Dashboard and newsroom examples in the home page's examples, built only from intents - Icon-only buttons no longer squeeze their icon ### Oct 14, 2026 · Find intents by purpose - `prongs find ""` looks intents up by purpose, with their "not for" guidance and how to write them - Tables (`layout.table`), app shells (`layout.shell`), sign-out (`action.signout`) and wrong-password errors (`auth.signin`), added where agents building a SaaS app went looking for them - An eval suite that builds apps and runs chains of tickets with fresh agents, with and without Prongs - Menus keep a danger colour on destructive items instead of flattening every row to the same look - `layout.form` and `layout.disclosure` accept form and details attributes like `noValidate` and `open` - `prongs check` accepts flex-grow ratios like `flex-2`, which it used to reject - MIT license, a README for every package, CI and a fresh-install smoke test ### Oct 13, 2026 · Whole fields and dark mode - `` renders the whole field and connects the label, hint and error for screen readers - The theme follows the system's dark mode, browser-drawn controls included, and focus rings sit on the surface colour - PRONGS.md is a quarter smaller: the theme and the look intents moved to PRONGS.reference.md, and it shows how each layout arranges its children and the full `fail()` options - `audit.signedin` and `audit.signedout` for ordinary sign-ins, apart from `security.signin` - `prongs check` warnings are suggestions: agents keep their intent when the suggested one does not fit ### Oct 9, 2026 · Popovers and layered surfaces - `` for menus, pickers and detail, on the browser's own popover, with keyboard navigation and listbox pickers - `theme.css` with self-layering surfaces: nesting decides the shade, and quiet text stays readable at every level - Dividers, status indicators, disclosures and embedded pages as intents - Every element carries `data-intent` in production, for analytics, tests and A/B tools
