March 14: UI system consolidation

March 14, 2026 — Empty-state navigation hotfix (v2.31.8)

The 2.31.8 release is a narrow UI follow-up shipped after the larger redesign work from 2.31.6 and the auth hotfix in 2.31.7. It fixes the two dashboard empty-state actions that were still wired to assumptions from the pre-redesign layout.

When no Bluetooth adapter is present, the empty-state CTA now opens Configuration → Bluetooth, lands on the adapters card, and prepares a manual adapter row so the user can act immediately. When adapters exist but no devices are configured yet, the scan CTA now opens Configuration → Devices → Discovery & import and launches the Bluetooth scan from the correct redesigned section. In short: the empty dashboard is once again an actionable starting point instead of a dead-end hint.

March 14, 2026 — MFA/TOTP login hotfix (v2.31.7)

The 2.31.7 release is a focused auth hotfix shipped immediately after 2.31.6. It fixes a regression in the direct Home Assistant login flow: when a user entered their TOTP code on the second MFA step, the bridge rendered that form without a valid CSRF token, so the verification POST was rejected as an invalid session.

This release restores the intended HA login-flow behavior by preserving the CSRF token across the MFA step and adds a regression test that walks the full username/password -> MFA -> successful sign-in path. In practice, that means Home Assistant users can again complete sign-in normally when TOTP is enabled.

March 14, 2026 — UI system consolidation (v2.31.6)

The 2.31.6 release completes the first full polish pass after the major 2.31.0 redesign. The work focused less on introducing new primitives and more on making the new UI internally consistent: the Configuration section was rebuilt as a card-based settings surface, dashboard badges were normalized into a shared chip system, and list/card views were brought back into functional and visual parity.

Three themes define this release:

• Configuration maturity — Cancel now restores the last saved state, security/runtime controls were expanded (session timeout, brute-force protection, MA WebSocket monitor), and the information hierarchy across General / Security / Bluetooth / Devices / Music Assistant was tightened.
• Device-management ergonomics — adapter badges link directly into Configuration → Bluetooth, custom adapter names are editable, MA sync-group badges deep-link to the correct Music Assistant settings view, and view-mode behavior now defaults to list mode on larger fleets while remembering the user’s choice.
• Badge/runtime cleanup — delay is visible in both list and card views, list rows expose the same key runtime context as cards, empty placeholder badges were removed, overlapping/misaligned chips were fixed, and list sorting now includes adapters while reusing the same adapter/status chip language as cards.

This release is best understood as the “consistency” release for the redesign: fewer conceptual changes than 2.31.0, but a much stronger match between mockup, runtime behavior, and the final shipped UI.
