fixFIX: update_element and extract/inject round-trips on Oxygen 6 could report success while persisting nothing — the edit landed in an attribute bucket the rebuild ignored. The Oxygen 6 build path now reads content from th
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.
addBrizy moved from read to write. Respira can now write Brizy pages that Brizy's own editor opens and the front end renders. Writes are labeled with their caveats in the docs (front-end compile depends on Brizy's compiler
addVisual Composer moved from read to write. Respira now writes in VC's canonical storage format, so the editor loads the page and the front end renders. Labeled with its caveats (VC recompiles on the next editor save)
addGlobals are now versioned. Deleting a Bricks global class, a Divi preset, or an Elementor kit color now leaves a recovery point. "The agent deleted my global class" used to be unrecoverable; now you can roll it back. Res

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.
