-🦧 Sasquatch, smarter & easier to reach
-- On desktop the assistant panel opens on the LEFT again, sitting clear of the
-  menus and footer so it never covers anything.
-- Sasquatch can now search the WHOLE community: every Lab craft — coaches,
-  filmers, editors, photographers, builders, artists, graffiti & tattoo
-  artists, trainers, musicians and event JUDGES — plus skate shops and tours.
-- No more repeated welcome wall once you're mid-conversation.
-- Your private Stash stays private — encrypted and never searchable.
+🛠️ Amber signing no longer hangs into the void (for real this time)
+When you signed or published through Amber, a quirky reply from the signer app
+could leave the app spinning forever with no feedback. We now validate exactly
+what Amber sends back, rebuild the event safely, and — if something's genuinely
+wrong — surface a clear, tappable error you can retry instead of a frozen
+screen. Publishing a crew, a spot or a message goes through cleanly.
 
-⚖️ Judges join The Lab
-List yourself to officiate skate events — Game of S.K.A.T.E., best-trick jams,
-contests, am-series and touring stops. Pick the formats you run, your specialty
-and the level you've worked.
+📤 Uploads that don't get stuck
+Logo and image uploads used to lean on a single host — if it was slow, so were
+you. Uploads now fall back across multiple servers, so a sluggish host no
+longer stalls the whole thing.
 
-📊 Tap a stat, see the list
-Community Stats numbers are now clickable — jump straight to the spots, shops,
-events, tours, crews or Lab craft behind any number.
+🔒 Safer links
+Website links on food spots, shops and tour stops are now sanitized before they
+open, blocking sketchy non-web links. Small under-the-hood hardening, zero
+change to how you use the app.
 
-🎯 Stats you can trust
-Stats read directly from the goskatespots community relay and the map shows the
-full dataset, so the numbers match what you actually see on the map.
+🧹 Housekeeping
+Behind-the-scenes fixes and a full pass over the app's buttons, routes and
+flows to keep everything wired up and responsive.
