The HR Policies and Procedures finalisation pass has moved the policy studio from promising to genuinely usable. The big pieces are polished, tested, and working well: the editor is stable, AI assistance is useful again, analysis tabs persist, Easy Read image generation works, and the procedure flow has been restored.

There are still two known areas for a final tweak: parallel publishing behavior and translated PDF generation.

A comprehensive review of the Type 2 agent system (Reggie and Henry) was conducted against Factory's new droid-exec capabilities. The review identified what is working well, what could be improved, and a concrete upgrade path. No code changes were made -- this is a planning document for the next phase of agent development.

Our AI Image Studio just got a serious upgrade. We have swapped out OpenAI's gpt-image-1 for the brand new gpt-image-2 -- their state-of-the-art image generation model released on April 21, 2026. Within twelve hours of launch it claimed the number one spot across every category on the Image Arena leaderboard by a 242-point margin. That is not a typo.

April 14 was not a feature-launch day. It was a map-making day. Brett was trying to work out what a proper shift-note feature would actually need, and the answer turned out to be more complicated than adding a text box and saving some rows. The sessions had to trace where shift notes already lived, how they were being reused, what AI plumbing was already available, and which admin patterns could be borrowed instead of reinvented.

Arc 6 was interleaved rather than tidy. While the DB2/calendar/email work was still unfolding in neighboring sessions, Brett also pushed hard into HR. What followed was not one clean feature but three adjacent systems growing at different speeds: Contracting Hub became the most real, the LLM Council got a visible public face before its brains were fully wired, and Policy Studio spent this period turning from a concept into a manual publishing workflow that could eventually support something smarter.

October 6 through 8, 2025, were about plugging real functionality into the Vite-based admin frontend. The HR page had layout problems left from a migration. A new AI assistant called Reggie needed a full chat interface with folders, model switching, and export features. And all three settings pages were broken — their API connections to the database didn't work, and their UI was a demo mockup that needed a complete redesign.
