Keyword-based time entries, partner workspace controls, and OAuth Linear

Summary

AI time entry generation now matches projects by keyword. Partners can create client workspaces without auto-emails, and Linear has moved to OAuth with refresh tokens.

Highlights

Keyword-based time entry generation

The AI assistant matches projects and activities using configurable keywords. Issues tagged with [SKIP] are excluded automatically. Available behind a feature flag while we expand testing.

Create partner workspaces without emailing the client

Partners can spin up a workspace for a client without triggering the client invitation email. Email notification is now optional at workspace creation time.

Token-based user signup

New users receive a direct signup link instead of a Firebase invitation. The new flow is faster and avoids the deliverability issues of the old invitation emails.

Clear errors for social login mismatches

Users who mix login providers (email plus Google or Microsoft) see a clear error message instead of a generic failure when their accounts don’t match.

Billing page in the Partner Portal

Partners can view a billing and pricing page directly in the Partner Portal. Rolling out gradually behind a feature flag.

  • Loading spinner added to the timesheet confirmation button so you know when the action is processing.
