WHAT HAS CHANGED: ONBOARDING - REBUILT First run is now a guided flow rather than dropping into a dashboard. It opens on a live barcode scan with a guaranteed "see an example" fallback if the camera is unavailable or the scan misses — relevant on a simulator. It then walks through an animated ownership reveal (which respects the system Reduce Motion setting), a single-owner harm view, and an optional Pro step that can be skipped. HOME The first session now leads with the scan rather than an empty dashboard. A Pro mark sits in the header and disappears once subscribed. Community progress is shown alongside the member's own tracked spend. MOVE / ALTERNATIVES This screen was refocused: campaign content was removed so alternatives are its whole job. Alternatives are now calm single-line rows that open a detail sheet on tap. Completing an ownership reveal opens Move on the brand just revealed. New verified switch pathways give concrete, sourced steps for leaving a subscription or a bank. MONEY A range pill now drives the entire screen, defaulting to All. The independence trend follows that range and is no longer gated. The monthly commitment control is a visible, accessible slider. Projected spending is no longer mislabelled as current. Import fixes: the RBC PDF parser reads whole statements rather than the first page, CAD$ amounts in CSV imports parse correctly, and a bare "interac" is no longer misclassified as a transfer. Unrecognized merchants are queued for research instead of dropped. OWNERSHIP ACCURACY — THE BULK OF THIS RELEASE Ownership stakes now distinguish VOTING power from equity and are labelled as such everywhere they appear, including off the ownership chain. Companies with unsourced ownership show an honest empty state rather than an invented chain. Retracted ownership records are honoured as retractions. Duplicate company and shareholder records were removed. Individual chains were re-verified against primary filings. PUBLIC RECORDS / ACCOUNTABILITY US PAC donations and FEC cycle data are live. Canadian federal lobbying registrations and government contracts are live. Every public-record row carries a tappable link to its source. Influence claims without a checkable source now fail closed and are withheld rather than shown. CAMPAIGNS Related campaigns can now group under a single umbrella. Campaign copy was re-verified against primary sources and several claims corrected. A published 14-day correction-review promise is reachable from the correction flow. The featured monthly target and daily action are now configured server-side. APPEARANCE (NEW IN 8.3) A dark theme for the Billy 2.0 look, selectable in Settings > Appearance, alongside a revised light palette. Settings moved from a floating top-right button into the bottom navigation bar.
