r66
16 August 2026Audits now show their work: findings arrive with the evidence attached, and a full checklist submits in one go.
| Type | Area | What changed |
|---|---|---|
| New | Screenshots & annotation | Audits now capture the screen behind each visual finding and mark it up in place — a box on the element, the measured value on the label, numbered to the finding it proves. A contrast claim arrives as a picture of the failing text, not a sentence about it. |
| Faster | Submissions | A full checklist now submits in a single call — up to 300 findings at once. |
| Improved | Evidence quality | Captures are cropped to the element and taken against the live page, so a screenshot proves one finding rather than filling an archive. |
Launch
15 August 2026Rubric opened to everyone: connect in a browser, no key to paste.
| Type | Area | What changed |
|---|---|---|
| New | Keyless connect | Sign in with Google or GitHub and approve the connection in your browser. No API key to create, paste or rotate. |
| New | Claude Code plugin | One command installs the audit workflow and wires up the connection with it. |
| New | A2A support | A second protocol surface alongside MCP, with the agent card to discover it. |
| Faster | Response times | Cold starts eliminated — the first call of the day is as quick as the last. |
| Improved | Checklists | Paging and a compact mode, so a long checklist arrives whole and readable. |
Beta
14 August 2026The product around the corpus: a place to sign in, top up and watch usage.
| Type | Area | What changed |
|---|---|---|
| New | Billing | Pay-as-you-go top-ups through Stripe. Money on the account, each call takes its price out. |
| New | Dashboard | Balance, usage, API keys and two-factor authentication, on desktop and phone. |
| New | Corpus | 554 published units across 17 surfaces and 6 disciplines, each with severity and a curated fix. |
