Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

[1.33.0] - 2026-02-24

Added

• PQC Live Comparison Demo (DigitalAssets/PQCMigrationFlow, PQCLiveComparisonFlow): Added Part 5 "Try It Live" to the PQC Defense workshop flow in the Digital Assets module. Users can now run real ML-DSA-65 and secp256k1 crypto operations side-by-side in the browser via OpenSSL WASM v3.6.0. Three-step interactive wizard: (1) key generation with real PEM byte size comparison, (2) signing the same message with both algorithms and a CSS bar chart showing the ~46× signature size difference, (3) verifying both signatures with a live BIP-360 witness overhead calculation. secp256k1 signing uses -rawin -digest sha256 to handle raw messages (ECDSA expects a pre-computed digest by default); ML-DSA-65 handles arbitrary-length messages natively per FIPS 204. No liboqs required — OpenSSL 3.6.0 natively supports ML-DSA-44/65/87.

• ML_DSA_65 command templates (DigitalAssets/constants.ts): Added ML_DSA_65 command group alongside existing BITCOIN, ETHEREUM, SOLANA groups with GEN_KEY, EXTRACT_PUB, SIGN, and VERIFY helpers for OpenSSL ML-DSA-65 operations.

[1.32.0] - 2026-02-24

Fixed

• Glossary tooltip overflow clipping (InlineTooltip, all 16 learning modules): Tooltips were silently clipped inside any container with overflow: hidden or overflow-y: auto (TLS panel glass-panels, PKIWorkshop modal bodies, DigitalID scroll container, FiveG diagram wrappers, DigitalAssets step wizard). Fixed by switching from position: absolute (relative to nearest positioned ancestor) to ReactDOM.createPortal() rendering into document.body with position: fixed coordinates computed from getBoundingClientRect(). Z-index raised to 9999 via inline style. A scroll event listener (window capture phase) closes the tooltip when the page scrolls, preventing stale-position display.

• DigitalAssets InfoTooltip and local InlineTooltip clipping (modules/DigitalAssets): Applied the same portal + fixed positioning fix to both exported components in the module-local InfoTooltip.tsx. Arrow decorations removed since they don't work with fixed positioning.

• DigitalID InfoTooltip clipping (modules/DigitalID): Applied portal + fixed positioning fix. Added above/below smart positioning (the original always rendered below regardless of viewport space).

Added

• SCT glossary term (glossaryData.ts): Signed Certificate Timestamp was used in the Merkle Tree Certs module (<InlineTooltip term="SCT">) but had no glossary entry, causing the tooltip to silently render as plain text. Added with a complete definition covering CT log membership proofs and the relationship to MTC inclusion proofs.

[1.31.0] - 2026-02-23

Added

• Full SEO overhaul: Per-route metadata for all 31 pages — unique titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, Open Graph tags, and Twitter Card tags dynamically rendered using React 19's native document metadata hoisting. No external dependency required.

• Playwright-based prerendering: All 31 routes now generate static HTML at build time via scripts/prerender.mjs. Crawlers receive real rendered content (navigation, headings, page text) without executing JavaScript, solving the SPA indexing problem. WASM-heavy interactive content still loads client-side after hydration.

• Expanded sitemap (public/sitemap.xml): Grew from 13 to 31 URLs, now covering all 16 learning modules (/learn/pqc-101, /learn/quantum-threats, etc.), /assess, /learn/quiz, and all main routes — each with <lastmod> dates for accurate crawl scheduling.

• Enhanced structured data (index.html, src/seo/routeMeta.ts): Homepage now declares a @graph with WebSite (including SearchAction for sitelinks search), Organization (with logo and GitHub sameAs), and WebApplication schemas. Individual routes inject page-specific JSON-LD: Course for the learning hub, LearningResource per module, Dataset for compliance and timeline data, ItemList for the algorithm explorer.

• Journey-oriented descriptions: Homepage and 5 key pages (/learn, /assess, /migrate, /compliance, /timeline) now carry elevated, mission-driven descriptions that convey the end-to-end guided PQC transformation journey — education → risk assessment → migration → regulatory compliance alignment.

• CI prerender support (.github/workflows/deploy.yml): Playwright Chromium is now installed before the build step so scripts/prerender.mjs runs correctly in the GitHub Actions deploy pipeline.

• robots.txt crawl-delay: Added Crawl-delay: 1 directive to pace crawler traffic.

[1.30.0] - 2026-02-22

Added

• Persona-aware assessment report (/assess): Executive persona now sees a streamlined report — HNDL/HNFL risk windows and algorithm migration matrix are hidden by default, recommended actions are clamped to top 5. A "View full technical report" toggle reveals the complete report. Researcher and architect personas get the Industry Threat Landscape section expanded by default.

• Wizard pre-fill from persona store (/assess): The assessment wizard now auto-fills industry and country from the persona/region selections made on the landing page, so users don't re-enter data they already provided.

• Industry filter on Migrate catalog (/migrate): New Industry dropdown filter in the software catalog, powered by each product's targetIndustries field. Auto-initialized from the assessment's industry, persona store, or ?industry= URL parameter. Includes a filter banner with clear button matching the existing layer/step filter pattern.

• Assessment → Migrate deep link (/assess): "Explore" links on recommended actions pointing to /migrate now append ?industry=... so the Migrate catalog auto-filters to industry-relevant tools.

Fixed

• Chunk loading resilience: All 30 lazy-loaded routes and modules now use lazyWithRetry — a wrapper that retries failed dynamic imports up to 3 times with exponential backoff (1s → 2s → 4s) and auto-reloads the page as a last resort (once, via sessionStorage guard). Eliminates the "page won't load until you manually refresh" issue caused by stale chunks after deploys or transient network failures.

• ErrorBoundary smart recovery: The "Try again" button now detects chunk load errors (dynamically imported module, Failed to fetch) and performs a full page reload instead of just resetting React error state — which was ineffective because React.lazy caches rejected promises.

• WASM promise cache invalidation: liboqs KEM and signature instance caches (liboqs_kem.ts, liboqs_sig.ts) now evict rejected promises on failure so the next call retries the WASM factory instead of permanently returning the same dead promise. Cleanup also catches already-failed promises to prevent unhandled rejection warnings.

• LmsService init race condition: Concurrent init() callers now detect whether the first init attempt succeeded or failed, instead of silently returning without a module. Failed script elements are removed from the DOM so retries can re-add them.

[1.29.0] - 2026-02-22

Added

• Industry-weighted composite scoring (/assess): Risk scores now use industry-tailored category weights — government and finance boost regulatory pressure (0.30), telecom and energy boost migration complexity (0.25), and technology boosts organizational readiness (0.30) — instead of fixed weights across all industries.

• Country planning horizons (/assess): HNDL and HNFL risk windows now use country-specific regulatory deadlines (US/France/Canada target 2030, Germany/UK/Australia target 2035) instead of a universal 2035 planning horizon. Users in countries with earlier deadlines see more urgent risk assessments.

• Compliance deadline-aware scoring (/assess): Regulatory pressure scoring now parses actual deadline years from compliance frameworks. Passed deadlines score 15 points, imminent (≤2 years) score 14, near-term (≤5 years) score 12, and distant deadlines score 8 — replacing the previous flat per-framework scoring.

• Category score driver explanations (/assess): Each of the four risk category progress bars now shows a human-readable explanation of what drives the score (e.g., "3 vulnerable algorithms, high sensitivity, 25-year retention").

• Industry-specific recommended actions (/assess): Nine industry-tailored actions added — from CNSA 2.0 alignment for government to SCADA/OT assessment for energy, V2X planning for automotive, and cloud KMS evaluation for technology.

• Algorithm-highlighted threat landscape (/assess): Threat rows matching the user's selected algorithms are now visually highlighted with a primary-colored left border and subtle background.

• Country-aware migration roadmap (/assess): Roadmap swim lane phases (Immediate, Short-term, Long-term) now dynamically compress or expand based on deadline proximity — urgent deadlines (≤24 months) compress to 0–3/3–12 months, distant deadlines (≥60 months) expand to 0–12/12–24 months.

• Industry-aware retention defaults (/assess): "I don't know" retention answers now use industry-specific conservative defaults from CSV data (75 years for government, 40 for aerospace) instead of a flat 15-year default.

Changed

• Methodology modal accuracy (/assess): Updated risk score description to reflect actual industry-tailored weights and deadline proximity scoring. Added country planning horizon context to HNDL description. Updated "I don't know" section with industry-specific retention defaults.

• Country urgency scoring uncapped (/assess): Removed the artificial cap on country regulatory urgency contribution, allowing high-urgency countries (US, France) to contribute their full weight to the regulatory pressure score.

• Executive summary country context (/assess): When a user's country has an accelerated planning horizon, the executive summary now explicitly mentions the country's target year relative to the global planning horizon.

[1.28.0] - 2026-02-22

Added

• Report methodology modal (/assess): Info button next to the report title opens a modal explaining how the risk score, four risk categories, HNDL/HNFL risk windows, conservative defaults for "I don't know" responses, and action prioritization work. Hidden in print view.

Fixed

• Compliance impact industry filtering (/assess): Fixed bug where telecom-only compliance frameworks (e.g., GSMA NG.116) appeared in Finance industry reports. Changing industry or country now clears stale compliance selections, and the scoring engine filters out frameworks that don't match the selected industry.

[1.27.0] - 2026-02-22

Added

• Web Browsers category in Migrate catalog (/migrate): Added Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari (CSC-037) with ML-KEM TLS 1.3 support details. All four tagged for both migrate and launch phases. New 02222026.csv created per CSV maintenance rules.

Changed

• Three-tier FIPS validation badge (/migrate): FIPS column now distinguishes between FIPS 140/203 certified (green "Validated"), indirect or partial claims like FedRAMP, WebTrust, FIPS mode (amber "Partial"), and no validation (gray "No"). Previously any "Yes" value showed a misleading green "Validated" badge.

Fixed

• CSV line ending normalization: Fixed mixed CRLF/LF line endings in software reference CSVs that caused PapaParse to silently drop rows with quoted comma fields.

[1.26.0] - 2026-02-22

Added

• Sources button on Compliance page (/compliance): Page header now includes a SourcesButton giving users direct access to authoritative sources referenced in the compliance landscape.

• Full header cluster on Migrate page (/migrate): The PQC Migration Catalog page header now includes an ArrowRightLeft icon, plus SourcesButton, ShareButton, and GlossaryButton, completing the standard content-page header pattern across all major views.

• Share & Glossary buttons on OpenSSL Studio (/openssl): Desktop header now includes ShareButton and GlossaryButton (hidden on mobile), consistent with other tool pages.

Changed

• Authoritative sources data model (src/data/authoritativeSourcesData.ts): Added complianceCsv and migrateCsv boolean fields to AuthoritativeSource; extended ViewType to include 'Compliance' and 'Migrate'; CSV parser updated to 13 columns with lastVerifiedDate shifted from index 10 to index 12.

Fixed

• Playground page layout (/playground): Description paragraph moved above the button cluster so it reads correctly before the action controls rather than inline with them.

[1.25.0] - 2026-02-22

Added

• Persona-aware journey step rail (/): The landing page now features a horizontal 7-step progression rail — Learn → Assess → Explore → Test → Deploy → Ramp Up → Stay Agile — replacing the previous feature-grid layout. Inaccessible steps are dimmed at 35% opacity based on the active persona; persona-priority steps receive a "For you" badge. Each step card shows route chips for all paths (Explore → Timeline / Algorithms / Library; Stay Agile → Threats / Leaders; single-path steps show their chip too for visual consistency).

• Hero messaging refresh (/): Updated hero tagline to "The quantum era is here. Your transformation journey starts now." with a new "Your PQC Transformation" headline and persona-aware CTA buttons routing each role to its most relevant starting point (Executive → Assess, Developer → Playground, Architect → Timeline, Researcher → Algorithms).

Fixed

• Landing — path chips on all step cards (/): Route chips previously only rendered on multi-path steps (step.paths.length > 1 guard removed). All 7 journey cards now display their chips, giving every step a consistent visual affordance.

• Landing — step rail connector alignment (/): Vertical connector lines between step circles now pin correctly to circle center regardless of card column height (fixed via items-start + mt-4 offset on the connector div).

• Tests — ComplianceView and audit_suci (src/): Resolved pre-existing failures by wrapping render() calls in <MemoryRouter>, correcting the default-tab assertion ("landscape" not "all"), adding Buffer to the WASM test vm context, and replacing new Function() with vm.runInContext() for safer WASM glue code loading.

[1.24.0] - 2026-02-22

Added

• Entropy & Randomness quiz category (/learn/quiz): New entropy-randomness category with Dice icon covering SP 800-90 A/B/C, DRBG mechanisms, entropy sources, TRNG vs QRNG, and min-entropy estimation. Integrated into Developer, Architect, and Researcher learning personas — quiz paths and checkpoint categories updated; estimated path minutes increased accordingly.

• BB84 simulator — configurable Eve interception rate (/learn): Eve eavesdropping is no longer all-or-nothing. A slider (10%–100%) controls the fraction of qubits Eve intercepts, enabling partial-eavesdropping experiments that show how QBER scales with interception probability. BB84Service gains eveInterceptionRate and channelNoise parameters; runFullProtocol and createInitialState updated accordingly.

• QKD deployment explorer — 2 new US deployments (/learn): Added AWS Center for Quantum Networking (CQN) — Amazon's research initiative focused on quantum memory, repeaters, and scalable networking toward a global quantum internet — and the Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE) 111 km fiber network connecting UChicago, Argonne National Laboratory, and Toshiba, demonstrating multi-node entanglement distribution.

• Entropy & Randomness module — FIPS 203/204 seed requirements (/learn): New callout section documents that ML-KEM (FIPS 203) requires exactly 32 bytes of full entropy for d and z seeds, ML-DSA (FIPS 204) requires 32 bytes for ρ, ρ', and K seeds, and that per SP 800-131A Rev 3 the RBG security strength must match the target PQC security category (e.g., 256-bit RBG for ML-KEM-1024 Category 5). Also added LMS/XMSS stateful signature entropy failure note and XOF_DRBG (SHAKE-based, SP 800-90A Rev 2) to the DRBG mechanism comparison.

• Standards Library — 4 new records (/library): RFC 9258 (TLS 1.3 external PSK importer for QKD key injection), NIST SP 800-108 Rev 1 (KDF using PRFs — counter, feedback, and double-pipeline modes; PKCS#11 CKM_SP800_108_COUNTER_KDF), NIST SP 800-56C Rev 2 (key derivation for key-establishment including hybrid QKD+PQC EtE), and PKCS#11 v3.0 OASIS Standard (CKM_HKDF_DERIVE, CKM_SP800_108_COUNTER_KDF, CKM_HKDF_KEY_GEN). All tagged with qkd, key-management, hybrid-crypto, or tls-basics cross-references.

• ScoreCard — scoring transparency modal (/): An info button (ⓘ) on the Learning Journey ScoreCard opens a ScoringModal explaining the four weighted dimensions: Knowledge (40%), Breadth (30%), Practice (20%), and Time & Consistency (10%), with belt thresholds displayed for each rank.

Fixed

• Security — Assessment URL parameter injection (/assess): URL-hydrated state (industry, country, algorithms, compliance frameworks, use cases, infrastructure) is now validated against allowlists derived from the canonical assessmentData constants and REGION_COUNTRIES_MAP. Arbitrary values injected via shared assessment URLs are silently discarded rather than written to the store.

• Security — XSS-safe global error overlay (src/main.tsx): Replaced innerHTML-based error display with safe DOM construction (textContent / createElement). Handler is now gated behind import.meta.env.DEV so it is completely absent from production bundles.

• Security — OpenSSL worker eval() removal (/openssl): The fetch()+eval() fallback path in the WASM script loader has been replaced with a hard fail and descriptive error message. The worker is a Classic Worker and must use importScripts; silent eval was a supply-chain risk and is now gone.

[1.23.0] - 2026-02-22

Added

• Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Learning Module (/learn): New module with three workshop parts — (1) Interactive BB84 protocol simulator with configurable qubit count (8/16/32) and toggleable Eve eavesdropper for eavesdropping detection demos, (2) Post-processing visualization covering error correction, privacy amplification, and hybrid key derivation, and (3) Global QKD deployment explorer with real-world adoption data. Includes Learn, Workshop, Exercises, and References tabs. Fully integrated with InlineTooltip glossary, time-spent tracking, and the Learning Journey scorecard.

• Compliance Landscape Dashboard (/compliance): New interactive compliance visualization with a 2024–2036 deadline timeline (urgency-coded: imminent/near-term/future), framework cards showing PQC requirements, region/industry chips, and cross-references to Library and Timeline. Persona integration pre-selects relevant region/industry filters. Includes summary stats (total frameworks, PQC-required count, deadline count) and expandable framework detail with related documents.

• Four new UI components (src/components/ui/): <Skeleton> (pulse loading placeholder), <EmptyState> (icon/title/description/action), <ErrorAlert> (retry-capable error display), and <CategoryBadge> (region/industry/level semantic badge). All use semantic tokens only and fulfill missing component entries from docs/ux-standard.md.

• Assessment wizard modularized: The 13-step risk assessment wizard is now split into dedicated step components (src/components/Assess/steps/) — one file per step — improving maintainability and enabling independent testing. Steps include multi-select fields for data sensitivity, retention, and credential lifetime with consistent "Unknown" escape-hatch buttons.

• Assessment data layer extracted: Scoring logic, type definitions (AssessmentInput, HNDLRiskWindow, HNFLRiskWindow), and algorithm database extracted into src/hooks/assessmentData.ts, assessmentTypes.ts, and assessmentUtils.ts for cleaner separation of concerns and reuse across wizard steps.

• UX design system documentation (docs/): Added ux-standard.md (full semantic token standard, component contracts, page header conventions) and ux-gap-analysis.md (current violations inventory and remediation backlog).

• Compliance CSV (src/data/compliance_02222026.csv): New date-stamped compliance framework dataset with framework metadata, deadlines, regions, industries, PQC requirements, and cross-references. Auto-discovered by complianceData.ts via import.meta.glob.

[1.22.0] - 2026-02-22

Added

• Persona-filtered quiz (/learn/quiz): Quiz questions now carry a personas tag (CSV column). When a learning persona is active, the quiz module filters questions and dynamically recomputes category metadata (question counts, available categories) so each persona sees only relevant content. Quick, Full, and Category modes all respect the active persona filter.

• Glossary expansion (/learn): Added 24 new glossary terms covering TLS (cipher suites, handshake), VPN/SSH (Rosenpass, sntrup761), email signing (SignedData, EnvelopedData, KEMRecipientInfo), key management (PKCS#11, key lifecycle), stateful signatures (Merkle tree, Winternitz OTS), digital assets (P2PKH, BIP44), 5G security (ECIES, AUSF, SIDF, UDM), and digital identity (PID, Relying Party, Wallet Instance Attestation). Enriched ~40 existing terms with relatedModule deep links to learning modules.

• Glossary button in Learn header (/learn): Added the GlossaryButton component to the PKILearningView header bar, accessible from both the dashboard and individual module views.

[1.21.1] - 2026-02-22

Added

• Simulated Hybrid KEM in Hybrid Crypto Workshop (/learn): X25519MLKEM768 is not available as a standalone genpkey algorithm in the OpenSSL WASM build. The workshop now simulates hybrid KEM by running X25519 ECDH (Web Crypto API) and ML-KEM-768 (OpenSSL WASM) as separate operations, then combining shared secrets via HKDF-Extract (SHA-256). The KEM demo shows side-by-side cards for pure PQC (ML-KEM-768) and hybrid (X25519 + ML-KEM-768) with component secret breakdown (PQC secret, classical secret, combined HKDF secret) and per-phase timing. Key generation step produces separate X25519 and ML-KEM-768 keys with combined PEM output.

Fixed

• Hybrid Crypto WASM file persistence (/learn): All HybridCryptoService methods now correctly pass file data between OpenSSL WASM calls. Previously, key files, ciphertext, and signatures were lost between openSSLService.execute() invocations because each call creates a fresh WASM instance. Fixes ML-DSA-65 certificate generation ("No such file or directory") and KEM encapsulation/decapsulation failures.

• Complete Module button visibility (/learn): The "Complete Module" button now correctly appears on the last step of all learning modules including Quantum Threats and Hybrid Crypto. Previously the button was hidden on the final step due to an off-by-one check.

• Composite certificate generation (/learn): Fixed CompositeCertificateViewer to pass key file data when generating self-signed certificates, resolving "Could not open file" errors for both ECDSA P-256 and ML-DSA-65 certificates.

• Library detail modal on mobile (/library): Made the document detail modal responsive on mobile devices with proper layout and scrolling.

[1.21.0] - 2026-02-21

Added

• 7-layer Enterprise Infrastructure Stack: Restructured the Migrate module from 5 layers to 7 distinct architectural tiers — Cloud, Network, Application Servers & Software, Database, Security Stack, Operating System, Hardware & Secure Elements. Each layer has a dedicated icon, color scheme, and descriptive subtitle. Products can now span multiple layers via comma-separated values (e.g., AWS KMS appears under both Cloud and Security Stack), with the filter, table icon, and layer label column all supporting multi-layer display.

• Security Stack layer with 42 products: New dedicated layer for security-critical infrastructure covering KMS, PKI, Crypto Libraries, Certificate Lifecycle Management, Secrets Management, IAM, Data Protection, and CIAM. Includes Venafi, Keyfactor, HashiCorp Vault, Okta, Keycloak, Auth0, ForgeRock, DigiCert, Sectigo, Thales CipherTrust DSP, IBM Guardium, Virtru, and core cryptographic libraries (OpenSSL, Bouncy Castle, liboqs, wolfSSL, Google Tink, AWS-LC).

• 30+ new product entries across 10 categories: Cloud KMS (AWS, Google, Azure), Cloud HSM (Thales Luna, AWS CloudHSM, Azure Dedicated HSM), QRNG (ID Quantique Quantis, Quantinuum Quantum Origin, QuintessenceLabs), QKD (ID Quantique Cerberis, Toshiba QKD, Quantum Bridge), Network Encryptors (Thales HSE, Senetas CN7000, Adva FSP 3000, Ciena WaveLogic 6), Confidential Computing (Intel TDX, AMD SEV-SNP, ARM CCA), IAM (Okta, Keycloak, Ping Identity), CIAM (Auth0, ForgeRock), Data Protection (Thales CipherTrust DSP, IBM Guardium, Virtru), and Certificate Lifecycle Management (DigiCert, Sectigo, EJBCA).

• PQC Support filter: Replaced the Platform dropdown with a PQC Support filter that normalizes the detailed capability strings into four broad groups — Yes, Limited, Planned, No — so users can instantly find products with production-ready quantum-safe capabilities versus those still on the roadmap.

• Contextual filter cascading: Category and PQC Support dropdowns now derive their available options from the currently filtered dataset. Selecting a layer automatically reduces the Category dropdown to only categories present in that layer, and vice versa. Stale selections auto-reset to "All" when they become unavailable.

Changed

• Reference Catalog renamed: "Software Reference Catalog" heading renamed to "Reference Catalog", "Software" column renamed to "Product", "View Related Software" button renamed to "View Related Products", and "Software Coverage Gaps" renamed to "Coverage Gaps" throughout the Migrate module.

• 193 total products (up from 161), with multi-layer overlap bringing effective per-layer counts to: Cloud 24, Network 13, Application 86, Database 6, Security Stack 42, OS 7, Hardware 27.

Fixed

• CSV data quality audit: Consolidated redundant PKI category (CSC-020 merged into CSC-004), removed duplicate HashiCorp Vault row, corrected Palo Alto PAN-OS layer assignment from OS to Network to match its NGFW peer group.

• Thales Luna Cloud HSM accuracy: Corrected PQC support from "Yes (ML-KEM ML-DSA FIPS 140-3 L3)" to "No (PQC roadmap pending)" and FIPS validation from "FIPS 140-3 L3" to "FIPS 140-2 L3" based on current product capabilities.

[1.20.0] - 2026-02-21

Added

• HNFL concept in PQC 101: The introductory module now covers both harvest-now attack models side-by-side. A new "Key concept: HNFL" panel in Step 1 explains that "Harvest Now, Forge Later" targets authenticity and integrity — adversaries capture signed artifacts (firmware images, certificate chains, code-signing blobs) today and retroactively forge or repudiate those signatures once a CRQC exists. This contrasts with HNDL (which targets confidentiality). The "Digital signatures & code signing" risk bullet now surfaces the HNFL label as a forward reference, and Exercise 2 has been reframed to ask learners to distinguish both threat models and the algorithm families (ML-DSA/SLH-DSA for HNFL, ML-KEM for HNDL) that address each.

[1.19.0] - 2026-02-21

Added

• Expanded quantum threat dataset (80 threats, 20 industries): The Quantum Threats module now draws from an updated dataset covering Aerospace/Aviation, Automotive/Connected Vehicles, Cloud Computing, Cryptocurrency/Blockchain, Energy/Critical Infrastructure, Financial Services, Government/Defense, Healthcare, Insurance, IoT, IT/Software, Legal/eSignature, Media/DRM, Payment Card Industry, Rail/Transit, Retail/E-Commerce, Supply Chain/Logistics, Telecommunications, and Water/Wastewater — each with criticality rating, vulnerable algorithms, PQC replacement recommendation, and primary source citations.
• Expanded global PQC timeline: Timeline updated with new milestones through February 2026 including DoD/SandboxAQ AQtive Guard deployment (Pentagon 5-year contract), Ethereum Foundation PQC security initiative ($2M research prize pool, Jan 2026), CISA federal PQC procurement guidance (Jan 2026, pursuant to EO 14306), G7 financial sector PQC roadmap (Jan 2026, U.S. Treasury + Bank of England), National Quantum Initiative reauthorization (Jan 2026), Samsung/Thales ML-KEM embedded secure element (Jan 2026), Australia ASD migration deadlines (2026–2030), Canada departmental planning deadlines (2026–2031), China NGCC program and financial sector milestones (2025–2030), EU coordinated PQC roadmap milestones (2026–2035), France ANSSI first PQC certifications (Sept–Oct 2025), and Germany BSI quantum-secure demonstrator (Nov 2025).

Changed

• Transformation Leaders updated to 100 verified profiles: Dataset refreshed with corrections and new additions including Philip Intallura (HSBC Group Head Quantum Technologies), Dr. Krysta Svore (NVIDIA, former Microsoft Azure Quantum VP), Niccolò De Masi (IonQ Chairman & CEO), Bruno Couillard (Crypto4A, pioneer of crypto-agile HSMs), Denis Mandich (Qrypt, 20 years US Intelligence Community), Éric Brier (Thales, FALCON algorithm co-designer), Dr. Bob Sutor (Sutor Group, former IBM VP Quantum, 40+ years at IBM), Prof. Bill Buchanan OBE (Edinburgh Napier, Stanford top 2% scientists 2025), Dr. Colin Soutar (Deloitte Global Quantum Cyber Readiness Lead), Konstantinos Karagiannis (Protiviti Director Quantum Computing Services), Sheetal Mehta (NTT DATA SVP Global Head of Cybersecurity), and Tom Patterson (Accenture Managing Director Emerging Technology Security).
• Software reference corrected — Google Cloud HSM now shows PQC support: Google Cloud HSM entry updated to reflect that PQC key types (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, X-Wing) are available through Cloud KMS with HSM protection level. Previous entry incorrectly listed PQC as unavailable.

[1.18.1] - 2026-02-21

Added

• Consistent "I don't know" UX across all wizard steps: Steps 6 (Migration Status), 11 (Crypto Agility), and 14 (Timeline Pressure) now use the same dashed-border escape-hatch button pattern as Step 3. Previously these three steps embedded "Don't Know" as a regular radio option indistinguishable from substantive answers.
• Consolidated HNDL / HNFL Risk Windows section in report: The two separate risk window panels are now unified into a single "Harvest-Now Attack Risk Windows" section with a Key Milestones table at the top (Today, Estimated CRQC, Data/Credential expiry dates with at-risk / safe badges) followed by the individual timeline visualizations.
• HNDL / HNFL risk windows for "I don't know" users: When users select "I don't know" on the Data Retention or Credential Lifetime steps, the report now shows risk window visualizations using conservative defaults (15-year retention, 10-year credential lifetime) with "(estimated)" labels and guidance to define policies for a precise assessment. Previously these sections were invisible when the user didn't know their values.

Changed

• "I don't know" scoring treats unknowns as high risk: All "don't know" inputs are now scored conservatively rather than as low/moderate risk:
  • Crypto agility unknown: 0.7 → 0.9 (same as hardcoded)
  • Timeline pressure unknown: 1.1× → 1.2× (near-term pressure assumed)
  • Sensitivity unknown: treated as "high" (was implicitly "low")
  • Retention unknown: 12pts retention score (was 0)
  • Infrastructure unknown: 15pts complexity (was 10)
  • Vendor dependency unknown: treated as heavy-vendor (was mixed)

[1.18.0] - 2026-02-21

Added

• "I don't know" escape hatches in Risk Assessment wizard: Six wizard steps now include explicit uncertainty options, ensuring users who lack complete information can still complete the assessment:
  • Step 3 (Current Crypto): "I don't know / Not sure" chip clears algorithm selections and triggers conservative RSA-2048 + ECDH equivalent scoring in the engine; all algorithm chips dim while active. Wizard cannot advance without at least one algorithm selected or the unknown flag set.
  • Step 5 (Compliance): "None apply / I don't know" button clears all selected frameworks (optional step — no blocking).
  • Step 7 (Use Cases): Styled "I don't know / None of these" button replaces the old plain text skip hint (optional step — no blocking).
  • Step 8 (Data Retention): "I don't know / Not sure" chip clears retention selections; engine falls back to sensitivity-based HNDL estimate. Wizard requires at least one selection or the unknown flag before advancing.
  • Step 11 (Infrastructure): Styled "None of these / I don't know" button (optional step — no blocking).
  • Step 12 (Vendors): "I don't know / Not sure" button clears vendor selection and defaults engine to mixed dependency weighting. Wizard requires a selection or the unknown flag.
• Compliance framework descriptions in Step 5: Each compliance framework button now shows a description sub-line — industry-specific frameworks use their config description; universal frameworks (NIST, NIS2, etc.) show the deadline and first sentence of regulatory notes.
• Awareness-gap remediation actions: When a user answers "I don't know" on any wizard step, the assessment report automatically surfaces targeted recommended actions at the top of the priority list to help close those knowledge gaps — e.g. "Conduct a cryptographic asset inventory" for unknown algorithms, "Establish a data retention policy" for unknown retention, etc. Covers unknown crypto, unknown retention, unknown vendors, missing compliance selections, missing use cases, and missing infrastructure data.
• Quick Assessment executive summary: Quick assessments (steps 1–6 only) now produce a concise executive summary paragraph in the report, summarising risk level, vulnerable algorithms, compliance pressure, and migration status. Previously only comprehensive assessments had this.
• Quick/Comprehensive badge in report header: A small pill badge in the report header identifies whether the result came from a Quick or Comprehensive assessment.
• HNDL warning banner for quick assessments: When a quick assessment is completed with high or critical data sensitivity, a warning banner appears in the report noting that Harvest-Now-Decrypt-Later risk was not quantified (data retention was not collected) and recommending a comprehensive assessment.
• Country-aware regulatory pressure scoring: The compound engine now incorporates a COUNTRY_REGULATORY_URGENCY map (14 jurisdictions) so selecting a country with active PQC mandates (e.g. United States, France) increases the Regulatory Pressure category score. The legacy quick path also receives a country boost proportional to the urgency weight.
• requiresPQC: null third state for unrecognised compliance frameworks: Compliance frameworks not in the database now surface as "Status unknown" (grey badge) rather than "No PQC mandate yet" (which was misleading). The report's compliance impact panel handles all three states: true (PQC Required / amber), null (Status unknown / grey), false (No PQC mandate yet / grey).

Changed

• Risk thresholds recalibrated: Low/Medium/High/Critical boundaries moved from 30/60/80 to 25/55/75. This better reflects the distribution of real scores — fewer organisations incorrectly land in "Low" and the "Critical" band triggers sooner for high-exposure profiles.
• NIS2 deadline text updated: The NIS2 Directive entry now reads "October 2024 (transposition passed — enforcement underway)" to reflect that the transposition deadline has passed and enforcement is active across the EU.
• Assessment stale threshold extended: In-progress (incomplete) wizard sessions are now preserved for 30 days before being auto-reset (previously 7 days), reducing accidental loss of partially-completed assessments.

[1.17.5] - 2026-02-21

Changed

• Dependency upgrades: Merged 4 Dependabot updates — @vitest/coverage-v8 4.0.18, eslint-plugin-react-refresh 0.5.0, jsdom 28.1.0, eslint-plugin-security 4.0.0.
• ESLint config for security plugin v4: Adapted flat config to manually extract plugins and rules from security.configs.recommended to avoid circular reference crash in defineConfig().
• Updated SBOM: Refreshed 9 dependency versions in About page to match actual installed (React 19.2.4, Framer Motion 12.34.2, Tailwind CSS 4.2.0, tailwind-merge 3.5.0, React Router 7.13.0, Zustand 5.0.11, Prettier 3.8.1, Vitest 4.0.18, Playwright 1.58.2).
• Security audit date: Bumped to February 21, 2026 (same findings — 13 dev-only, 0 production).

Fixed

• Persona "For you" badge: setPersona no longer resets suppressSuggestion to false, preventing the assessment-inferred badge from reappearing after selecting then clearing a role.

[1.17.4] - 2026-02-20

Added

• Persona-aware guided tour: The first-visit onboarding tour now filters steps to only highlight features visible in the active persona's navigation — an Executive won't be shown the Playground or OpenSSL Studio steps.
• Persona-aware hero CTAs: Landing page primary and secondary call-to-action buttons now adapt to the selected role — Executives are directed to Risk Assessment, Developers to the Playground, Architects to the Migration Timeline, and Researchers to Algorithm Explorer.
• "For you" persona badge on landing: After completing the Risk Assessment, the inferred recommended persona is surfaced with a "For you" badge on the home page role picker.
• Cross-view CTAs: Assessment report now includes a "Start Learning" link to the persona-matched learning path; the learning path panel includes a "Start Assessment" CTA when no assessment has been completed.
• Compliance and Migrate in executive nav: /compliance and /migrate added to the Executive persona's navigation — assessment report links to both views are no longer dead ends.
• Assess in developer nav: /assess added to the Developer persona's navigation — the algorithm migration matrix in the report is now reachable.
• Playground in architect nav: /playground added to the Security Architect persona's navigation for hands-on PoC algorithm evaluation.

Changed

• Persona inference rewritten: inferPersonaFromAssessment() now correctly maps assessment answers to all four persona types. Previous implementation used wrong enum values and always defaulted to Architect; Researcher was never reachable. Now uses correct field values (not-started/started/planning, fully-abstracted, etc.) and returns null when signal is insufficient.
• Default persona is now null: First-time visitors see the full navigation (same as Researcher) rather than being silently assigned Researcher. "Clear all" in the persona picker now fully resets to no selection.
• Developer learning path expanded: Added Quantum Threats module (after PQC 101) and Crypto Agility module (after Hybrid Crypto). Path now includes a 4th checkpoint and grows from 405 to 495 estimated minutes.
• Architect learning path expanded: Added TLS Basics module (after Hybrid Crypto). Estimated time grows from 420 to 465 minutes.
• Executive quiz categories fixed: Removed industry-threats from quiz pre-selection — the corresponding module was never taught in the executive path. Replaced with crypto-agility which is covered by the Crypto Agility module.
• Persona order unified: Role buttons across home page and learn page now follow the same order: Executive → Developer → Architect → Researcher.
• Assessment report link filtering: "Explore" action links in the assessment report are now hidden when they point to a route outside the active persona's navigation — no more dead links.
• Researcher learning path: Added 5th checkpoint after the three application modules (Digital Assets, 5G Security, Digital ID) for consistent knowledge verification before the final quiz.

[1.17.3] - 2026-02-20

Changed

• Single-select industry: The industry picker on the home page now works as single-select — clicking an industry selects it exclusively; clicking the active industry deselects it (returns to All Industries). Previously allowed multi-select.
• Timeline country dropdown scoped to region: When a region is selected on the home page, the Timeline country filter shows only that region's group and its individual countries (Americas → US + Canada, Europe → 8 EU countries, APAC → 8 APAC countries; Global/none shows all).
• Digital ID learning module: Finance & Banking added as a relevant industry alongside Government & Defense and Healthcare.

[1.17.2] - 2026-02-20

Fixed

• Library industry filter: Normalized 40+ raw CSV industry aliases (e.g. Finance, Gov, Telecom, Critical Infrastructure) to the 11 canonical industry names used across the app. The industry dropdown now shows clean canonical names instead of 30+ fragmented raw tags.
• Library persona → filter: Selecting an industry on the home page now correctly pre-filters the Library (was returning 0 results due to vocabulary mismatch between canonical names and CSV tags).
• Library untagged items: Documents with no specific industry tag (broadly applicable standards) now appear in all industry-filtered views instead of being hidden.

Changed

• Assessment country step: Step 2 (Country) now lists only the countries that belong to the region selected on the home page (Americas → US + Canada, Europe → 8 EU countries, APAC → 8 APAC countries, Global/none → all countries).
• Assessment pre-seeding: Industry and country fields are now seeded from the home page persona selection when starting a fresh assessment (no URL params, no in-progress assessment).

[1.17.1] - 2026-02-21

Added

• Mobile Compliance View (/compliance): New dedicated mobile layout with card-based display for compliance records, optimized for touch navigation and small screens.
• Mobile Threats List (/threats): New dedicated mobile layout for the threats dashboard, presenting threat cards in a vertically stacked, touch-friendly format.

Changed

• Compliance Table tooltips: PQC mechanism and classical algorithm tooltips now support tap-to-toggle on mobile in addition to hover on desktop, replacing the hover-only interaction.
• Tooltip viewport clamping: Tooltip width constrained to min(256px, 100vw-32px) to prevent overflow on small screens.
• Gantt Detail Popover: Refactored layout for improved readability and usability on mobile.
• Filter Dropdown: Adjusted touch targets for better mobile usability.
• Personalization Section: Minor layout refinements for small-screen display.
• Main Layout: Navigation adjustments for mobile responsiveness.

[1.17.0] - 2026-02-20

Added

• Personalization Panel (/): New three-dimension picker on the home page lets users set their role (Executive, Developer, Architect, Researcher), region (Americas, Europe, APAC, Global), and industry (11 sectors) in a single always-editable section below the hero stats bar. Selections persist across sessions via localStorage.
• Persona-driven navigation: Selecting a role hides irrelevant pages from the nav; always-visible pages (Home, Learn, Timeline, Threats, About) remain accessible to all users regardless of persona.
• "For you" card badges: Landing page feature cards show a "For you" badge for the top 3 pages most relevant to the active persona.
• Region pre-seeding: Selecting a region pre-filters the Timeline on mount and pre-seeds the Assessment country field (Americas → United States, Europe → France, APAC → Japan).
• Industry pre-seeding: Selecting an industry pre-seeds the Assessment industry field, pre-filters the Threats dashboard, adds an industry filter chip row to the Library, and highlights relevant Learning modules with a "Relevant" badge.
• Industry icons: Each industry chip in the personalization panel now displays a contextual icon (e.g. Landmark for Finance, Shield for Government, HeartPulse for Healthcare).
• "All Industries" chip: Explicit chip in the industry row to reset to no filter, always highlighted when no industry is selected.

Changed

• Learn module: Removed the in-Learn persona picker; learning paths are now driven entirely by the home page persona selection. When no persona is set, the full module grid is shown with a "Personalize from home" button linking back to the home page.

[1.16.1] - 2026-02-20

Added

• Executive Summary Dashboard (/executive): High-level PQC readiness metrics, organizational risk scores, and priority action items.
• 7 New PKI Learning Modules (/learn): Added new comprehensive interactive courses:
  • Quantum Threats (HNDL Timeline, Algorithm Vulnerability)
  • Hybrid Cryptography (Key Generation, Signatures)
  • Crypto Agility & Architecture (Abstraction, CBOM)
  • Stateful Hash Signatures (LMS, XMSS)
  • Email & Document Signing (S/MIME, CMS)
  • VPN/IPsec & SSH
  • Key Management & HSM

Fixed

• Time Tracking Analytics (/learn): Replaced erroneous Date.now() logic that was previously causing massive timeSpent metric inflation. Restored sub-minute float state precision to correctly accumulate elapsed time across all 14 learning modules, and applied a clean decimal-mask (Math.floor()) during frontend Dashboard render.
• KeyRotationPlanner Build: Fixed a strict TS compilation error regarding target algorithms missing data keys.

[1.16.0] - 2026-02-20

Added

Learning Platform Restructure

• Learning Platform Restructure (/learn): PKI Workshop, Digital Assets, and 5G Security modules restructured to the 3-tab layout (Learn | Simulate | Exercises) established by TLS Basics. Each module now separates educational theory from hands-on practice and includes guided exercise scenarios with "Load & Run" presets and a Quiz CTA.
• PKI Workshop (/learn/pki-workshop): New Learn tab with 6 educational sections (What is PKI, Certificate Lifecycle with interactive diagram, X.509 Anatomy, Trust Chains & Validation, PQC in PKI, CTA). New Exercises tab with 5 guided scenarios (RSA-2048, ECDSA P-256, ML-DSA-44, ML-DSA-87, SLH-DSA) that pre-configure the workshop and navigate to the correct step.
• Digital Assets (/learn/digital-assets): New Learn tab with blockchain cryptography introduction covering key generation, address derivation, digital signing, and PQC threat analysis per chain. New Exercises tab with guided scenarios for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and HD Wallet flows.
• 5G Security (/learn/5g-security): New Learn tab with 6 sections — What is 5G Security (3GPP TS 33.501 overview, IMSI catcher history), The Three Pillars (Privacy/Authentication/ Provisioning), SUCI Protection Schemes (Profile A/B/C comparison), 5G-AKA Authentication (MILENAGE f1-f5, key hierarchy), SIM Provisioning & Supply Chain, Post-Quantum Threat to 5G (quantum-vulnerable vs quantum-resistant components). New Exercises tab with 5 scenarios (Profile A Classical, Profile B NIST, Profile C Hybrid, Profile C Pure PQC, 5G-AKA Authentication).

Data Expansion

• Leaders Board Expanded: 12 new PQC leaders added via leaders_02202026.csv — Prof Bill Buchanan OBE (Edinburgh Napier), Dr. Bob Sutor (Sutor Group), Bruno Couillard (Crypto4A), Dr. Colin Soutar (Deloitte), Denis Mandich (Qrypt), Éric Brier (Thales), Konstantinos Karagiannis (Protiviti), Dr. Krysta Svore (Microsoft Azure Quantum), Niccolò De Masi (IonQ), Philip Intallura (HSBC), Sheetal Mehta (NTT DATA), Tom Patterson (Accenture); total now 98 leaders

Changed

• Dashboard Progress (/learn): Module progress calculation now uses accurate per-module step counts via a MODULE_STEP_COUNTS map instead of a hardcoded default of 4 steps. PKI Workshop description and duration updated (45 min → 60 min).

Fixed

• Algorithm Data: 10 factual inaccuracies corrected across PQC algorithm profiles
• Migration Guide: 5 factual inaccuracies corrected in migration planning content

[1.15.0] - 2026-02-20

Added

• Quiz CSV Data Layer (/learn/quiz): Extracted all quiz questions from hardcoded TypeScript into a date-stamped CSV file (pqcquiz_02192026.csv), following the established pattern used by Leaders, Timeline, Threats, and Library modules. The quiz software auto-selects the most recent CSV via import.meta.glob in the new quizDataLoader.ts loader.
• Quiz Mode Column (/learn/quiz): New quiz_mode field on every question (quick, full, both) enables pool-based filtering — Quick Quiz draws from the quick+both pool (~121 questions), Full Assessment samples from all 162 questions.
• Expanded Question Pool (/learn/quiz): Grew from 80 to 162 questions across 8 categories, grounded in the app's authoritative data sources (algorithm reference, timeline, threats, and learn module content). ~20 questions per category.
• Smart Sampling with Guaranteed Coverage (/learn/quiz): Both quiz modes now guarantee minimum category representation — Quick Quiz: 20 questions with ≥2 per category; Full Assessment: 80 questions with ≥10 per category. Every run produces a unique random mix.
• Source Attribution (/learn/quiz): Quiz intro header displays the source CSV filename and last-updated date, consistent with other data-driven pages.

Changed

• Full Assessment (/learn/quiz): Changed from "all questions" to an 80-question random sample drawn from the full 162-question pool with guaranteed category coverage.
• Quiz Data Structure (/learn/quiz): quizData.ts is now a thin re-export shim; all data loading and category metadata live in quizDataLoader.ts.

Fixed

• Quiz Question Accuracy (/learn/quiz): Applied 7 factual corrections — CNSA 2.0 2030 scope clarification, EO 14306 date/attribution, Germany's QUANTITY initiative description, GSMA PQ.03 v2.0 publication date, Canada CCCS 2026 milestone wording, and a self-contradictory TLS hybrid failure explanation.

[1.14.4] - 2026-02-19

Added

• Inline Tooltips (/assess): Jargon terms (HNDL, PQC, Crypto Agility, HSM) in the wizard now show click-to-open glossary definitions via a new InlineTooltip component backed by 180+ glossary terms.
• Quick Assessment Mode (/assess): New mode selector on the landing page — "Quick" (6 steps, ~2 min) or "Comprehensive" (13 steps, ~5 min). Quick mode uses the legacy scoring path.
• Migration Roadmap (/assess): Phased visualization in the report grouping recommended actions into 3 swim lanes (0–6 mo, 6–18 mo, 18–36 mo) with effort badges and country deadline indicator.

Changed

• Context-Aware Cross-Links (/assess): "Explore" links in recommended actions now carry user-specific query params (e.g. /algorithms?highlight=RSA-2048,ECDH, /threats?industry=Finance). Algorithm Transition Guide highlights matching rows; Threats Dashboard pre-filters by industry. Migration matrix adds "Try in Playground" links for PQC replacement algorithms.
• Progress Persistence (/assess): Stale assessment threshold extended from 24 hours to 7 days. Resume banner shows on return with step info, timestamp, and Continue / Start Over options.

[1.14.3] - 2026-02-19

Fixed

• PDF Print Cross-Browser (/assess): Report PDF now renders correctly in both Chrome and Safari. Chrome was not repeating html { margin-top } on pages 2+, causing content to overlap the fixed header/footer. Replaced with an invisible <table class="print-report-table"> whose <thead> (14mm) and <tfoot> (10mm) are treated as per-page repeating groups by both browsers. All CSS selectors use child combinators (>) to avoid cascading into inner report tables.
• Library Markdown Parser (/library): Fixed markdown rendering regression introduced by Prettier reformatting the parser configuration.
• Security Dependencies (deps): Added overrides for minimatch and ajv to resolve high-severity audit findings in transitive dependencies.
• CI Security Audit (ci): Scoped npm audit to production dependencies only, eliminating false positives from dev-only packages in the CI pipeline.

[1.14.2] - 2026-02-19

Fixed

• Retention Step Industry-Awareness (/assess): Step 8 (Data Retention) no longer shows finance/healthcare-specific language for unrelated industries. Universal time-range options are now sourced from the CSV (empty industries column) with purely time-based descriptions. Every industry now has specific regulatory retention entries: Automotive (telematics 1-3y, vehicle lifetime 10-15y), Technology (SOC 2 audit logs 3y), Energy & Utilities (NERC CIP-007 3y, FERC/billing 7y), Aerospace (FAA/DO-178C aircraft lifetime 20-40y), Retail & E-Commerce (PCI DSS audit logs 1y, cardholder data 2y), Education (FERPA/financial aid 6y, permanent transcripts).
• PDF Export (/assess): Reverted to window.print() from html2canvas/jsPDF for more reliable cross-browser output.

[1.14.1] - 2026-02-19

Fixed

• PDF Content Clipping (/assess): Eliminated content overlap behind the fixed print header/footer on pages 2+. Uses invisible <thead>/<tfoot> spacer table to reserve per-page space for the repeating header (14mm) and footer (10mm).
• Print Visibility (GuidedTour, WhatsNewToast): Hidden from print output via print:hidden.
• Threat Table Print (/assess): Added print:overflow-visible and print:min-w-0 to prevent right-column clipping in the PDF.

[1.14.0] - 2026-02-19

Added

• Industry-Aware Assessment Wizard (/assess): Compliance, crypto usage, use case, and infrastructure steps now surface industry-relevant options first based on CSV-driven config (pqcassessment_02192026.csv). Industry-specific threats appendix included in report.
• Country Compliance Filtering (/assess): Step 5 (Compliance) filters frameworks by the selected country/jurisdiction — only globally-applicable and country-relevant frameworks are shown.
• PDF Print Support (/assess): Full print-optimized report with repeating header (app version, industry, country, date) and footer (assess URL, page number). Includes break-inside: avoid on sections, light-mode forced variables, print-color-adjust: exact for background colors, and framer-motion suppression.
• Report Collapsible Sections (/assess): Country PQC Migration Timeline and Industry Threat Landscape are collapsible on screen but always expanded in print via hidden print:block pattern.
• Organization Filter (/library): Replaced the Region dropdown with an Organization filter (NIST, IETF, ETSI, ISO, BSI, ANSSI, etc.) using a canonical org map that rolls up sub-groups.

Fixed

• Share URL Arrays (/assess): dataSensitivity and dataRetention now correctly encode as comma-joined arrays in the share URL; added cy (country) parameter.
• PDF Dark Mode (/assess): Print CSS forces all semantic color variables to light-mode values, preventing invisible text on white paper when dark theme is active.
• PDF Background Colors (/assess): Added print-color-adjust: exact so bar graphs, badges, and colored elements render in the PDF instead of being stripped by the browser.
• PDF Page Breaks (/assess): glass-panel sections avoid splitting across pages; Threat Landscape starts on a fresh page; trailing blank page eliminated via min-height: 0.
• Timeline Label Clipping (/assess): Edge year labels (2024, 2035) use left/right-aligned transforms instead of centered, preventing clipping in the report timeline strip.

Changed

• Mobile Walkthrough (GuidedTour): Redesigned the guided tour on mobile as a full-screen swipeable card carousel with step icons, dot indicators, and drag gestures. Desktop anchored tooltips unchanged. Added ?tour query param to reset and replay the tour.
• WhatsNew Toast (WhatsNewToast): Centered on mobile (was fixed bottom-right, overflowed on narrow screens). Added ?whatsnew query param for easy testing.
• Assessment Report (/assess): "Explore" links and action buttons hidden in print. Cross-industry threats section removed from report — only industry-specific threats shown.

[1.13.0] - 2026-02-18

Added

• Risk Assessment Country Picker (/assess): New "Country" step (step 2 of 13) lets organizations select their jurisdiction; the selection aligns the Timeline step with real regulatory deadlines sourced directly from the PQC Gantt timeline data.
• Multi-select Data Sensitivity (/assess): Organizations can now select multiple sensitivity levels simultaneously (Low / Medium / High / Critical). Risk scoring uses the highest selected level; useful for organizations managing data of mixed sensitivity.
• Multi-select Data Retention (/assess): Multiple retention periods can be selected at once. HNDL risk is computed against the longest selected period for accurate worst-case assessment.
• Country-aligned Migration Deadlines (/assess): The Timeline step surfaces Deadline phases from the selected country's Gantt timeline (real years, titles, descriptions) instead of generic static options. Falls back gracefully when no country-specific deadlines exist.
• Wizard Reset Button (/assess): A "Reset" button in the wizard navigation footer clears all answers and returns to step 1, providing a quick path to restart without navigating away.

Fixed

• Assessment Store Schema Migration (/assess): Persisted assessments from v1.12 and earlier stored dataSensitivity and dataRetention as strings. On rehydration these are now automatically upgraded to arrays, preventing a TypeError: .filter is not a function crash.

Changed

• Risk Assessment Wizard (/assess): Expanded from 12 to 13 steps with the Country picker. AssessmentInput.dataSensitivity and .dataRetention are now string[]; the scoring engine uses getMaxSensitivity() and getMaxRetentionYears() helpers — fully backward-compatible.

[1.12.0] - 2026-02-18

Added

• Timeline Document Table (/timeline): Selecting a country from the Country filter now reveals a document table below the Gantt chart listing all matching phases and milestones with organization, phase badge, type, title, period (year range), description, and source link.

Fixed

• Timeline Filter UX (/timeline):
  • Renamed "Region" dropdown label to "Country" for clarity
  • Active filter chips with × dismiss now appear below the filter bar for every active filter (country, phase type, event type, and text search)
  • Result count shown alongside chips ("N results · X of Y countries")
  • Empty state with "Clear all filters" action when no results match
  • Country dropdown now renders above the sticky Gantt table headers (z-index fix)

  • Renamed ambiguous "CC" column header to "Classic" (was misread as Common Criteria)
  • Added missing BSI (DE) source card so the authoritative-sources grid is complete
  • Unified all four filter active states to primary color (was: accent, secondary, warning, tertiary)
  • Loading overlay now correctly reads "Refreshing Data…" during a refresh vs. "Filtering Records…" during filtering
  • Close button in detail modal replaced with <X> icon + aria-label; focus moves into modal on open
  • Filter backdrop role="button" replaced with aria-hidden="true"
  • Empty-state colSpan corrected from 10 to 8
  • ShareButton/GlossaryButton now visible at md breakpoint (was lg-only)

• Guided Tour (/): Fixed mobile portrait layout blocking tour from completing; fixed tooltip position jumping on step transitions.
