# Research Papers changelog

Verified improvements to the public research experience, newest first.

- [Roadmap](https://github.com/High-Signal-App/research-papers/issues)

## 2026-07-09: Curated reading paths made the corpus easier to enter

- Researchers can follow ordered paths for agentic LLMs, transformer foundations, alignment, retrieval, diffusion, and compression instead of starting from an undifferentiated search result.
- Every path includes original briefs, provenance notes, source links, and JSON, BibTeX, RIS, and Markdown exports without copying abstracts or hosting papers.

## 2026-07-03: Research answers gained a durable quality gate

- A 17-question golden regression suite now checks answer structure, citations, real index resolution, and routing across sleepers, ratings, clusters, recent work, and general retrieval.
- The gate avoids brittle prose matching while still failing when cited research evidence silently degrades.

## 2026-06-24: The public research dashboard launched

- The Cloudflare Pages site shipped semantic search, citation analysis, hot and sleeper papers, reviewer signals, and a same-origin research-answer path over the curated corpus.
- Performance work brought the production dashboard to a 100 desktop Lighthouse score and 99 mobile performance in the recorded verification run.
- Five representative live research-answer questions passed with cited responses in the production smoke test.
