NoodleNet BASIC Change Log

Current release notes for BASIC

This page tracks notable product and code changes for NoodleNet BASIC.

2026-05-25

• confirmed BASIC product mode as a business knowledge appliance, not a PKM or personal second-brain surface
• locked the default BASIC surface to Overview, Connectors, Ask, and Admin
• kept Opportunity Tracker out of the default BASIC product line
• kept persona mode organizational and PKM features off in product configuration
• documented the BASIC distinction clearly: PKM knows the person, BASIC knows the business

2026-05-23

• added the dedicated NoodleNet BASIC bridge service for appliance-to-backend access
• introduced bridge pairing flow with pairing code and bearer token handoff
• added bridge health reporting with explicit states like:
• ok
• library_empty
• basic_unavailable
• added backend summary checks for document and chunk counts so Ask readiness is visible
• added specialist detection so bridge health can report whether the primary BASIC specialist is enabled
• added protected /ask routing through the bridge to /api/v2/basic/ask
• normalized bridge responses into a cleaner answer package with:
• summary
• answer paragraph
• evidence summary
• source list
