Same Story key visual

The plugin now tells the same story as your dashboard

The setup and connection screens were rebuilt around one source of truth. You link a site once, then watch the moment your first agent reaches it: the screen updates on its own and names what just happened, for example "connected. Claude just ran update_page on page #42". The plugin, the dashboard and your agent now read the same connection state, so they always agree on whether a site is connected and what access it has. One-click installs (the Desktop app, Cursor, Cowork) lead the way in, with browser sign-in still there for ChatGPT and claude.ai. Sites also arrive in the dashboard with their real WordPress title instead of a bare URL, which matters the moment you run more than one. And seven builder fixes land across Bricks, Divi, Elementor 4.x and Gutenberg.

1 source of truth for connection state
2 screens rebuilt around live state

Clearing key visual

What the agent writes is what actually lands on the page

A deep pass through every supported builder, closing the gaps where a write reported success but the page stayed stale or blank. Styling now lands on Oxygen, Beaver Builder, Elementor v4 Atomic, Bricks, Divi 4 and Divi 5. Brizy and Visual Composer move from read to write, with their caveats stated. Recovery gets deeper: custom CSS and page settings are captured, and globals are versioned, so deleting a Bricks global class, a Divi preset, or an Elementor kit color leaves a recovery point. And when something cannot be persisted in a way the builder reads, Respira says exactly what did not land instead of reporting success. Every fix verified on a real site by loading the actual rendered page.

Redesigned admin, public add-on SDK, generate_activity_report

A React-first plugin admin built around live telemetry: a bridge view of agent ↔ Respira ↔ site, real cards driven by eleven new REST endpoints, and a personalised greeting. A public add-on SDK ships so third-party plugin authors can register their own MCP abilities. And a new MCP tool, generate_activity_report, turns this site's audit log into a structured report your own agent shapes into prose — six framings cover the use cases customers actually have, time-saved math is calibrated to conservative per-tool baselines, and Respira never writes a single line of prose itself.

11 new admin REST endpoints
1 new MCP tool
1 public add-on SDK

Every page-builder adapter promoted to deeper-intelligence parity

The biggest release since v5. Every builder adapter promoted in lockstep. Five cross-cutting Phase A invariants every adapter now inherits — render-validation gate, universal write-trace, Variables CRUD shape, source-driven catalog auto-scan, per-property typed validators — plus Phase B slices per builder that close the family-bug arcs surfaced across v6.10.x. 1076 standalone test assertions across 27 alpha cycles, zero failures.

Closes 14 customer bugs across 5 named trials and 7 GitHub issues

The release I should have shipped weeks ago. Closes 14 customer-reported bugs across 5 named trial threads and all 7 open public GitHub issues, plus 5 cross-cutting audits — JSON post-meta unicode safety across every adapter, MCP server tool-schema audit, duplicator kses bypass, schema endpoints anon-readable, render-trace fields on every write. New respira_diagnose_connection tool surfaces edge-layer interception so REST returning homepage HTML instead of JSON stops being opaque.
