What shipped, and why

Story Trail ships every week. This is the log: what we built, why we built it, and who it's for — across the walking app, the historian tools, and the trails themselves.

• 4 Sep 2026 The 3D editor learns to take instructions Suburb Historian's 3D scene editor picks up a chat panel that understands plain-language edit commands, the walking app's photo gallery and follow-map go properly interactive, and a week-long accuracy push straightens out SAM3D's object layouts.
• 28 Aug 2026 Waypoints get their first AR-ready models A new GLB→USDZ pipeline turns Suburb Historian's 3D models into something ARKit can actually load, waypoints learn to research their own surroundings, and a stale-references bug gets fixed at the source.
• 26 Aug 2026 The pipeline drafts the walk between stops Suburb Historian's research pipeline now writes a first-pass approach story for every waypoint, grounded in real nearby landmarks — and tells you the moment that draft goes stale.
• 25 Aug 2026 Turn-by-turn walking mode arrives The walking app grows a compass, a notice board, and a voice — and goes into App Review.
