Preview in 5.0.x

The platform
shows its hand.

The chat shell becomes honest about what the platform can do for this customer, right now. Tools, knowledge bases, native capabilities, plugin-provided extensions — surfaced inline rather than hiding behind menus. License gates and tenant-enabled features drive the same UI signal. Customers stop asking for things the platform already supports because they couldn't find them.

Next patch


The problem this fixes

Capabilities you can't see don't get used.

Today, a customer asks “can Eldric do X?” in chat. Sometimes the answer is yes, the feature is enabled on their tenant, but it's reached through a settings page they haven't found. Sometimes the answer is yes, but only with a license tier they haven't activated. Sometimes the answer is no, but with a clear path to enabling it.

Today the customer's UI doesn't tell them which. The chat shell talks; the settings live elsewhere; the connection between the two is something the customer has to assemble themselves.


What 5.0.x surfaces

Inline. Honest. Actionable.


What's pending

Honest gates on this page.

Still in flight

  • Capability registry kernel surface (every module declares what it offers)
  • Chat shell capability bar — visible without opening a separate page
  • macOS GUI parity
  • iOS app parity
  • License-gate badge surface (greyed instead of hidden, with upgrade affordance)
  • Admin per-tenant capability override (some operators will want to hide certain capabilities even from users who'd otherwise have them)

This page updates as each piece lands. The release notes are the formal cut.
