# v2.2.0 — August 7, 2026

> A testing agent that tests and fixes your app for you, deploy without connecting GitHub, import a GitHub repo to keep building, rename your deployed URL, a detailed per-agent credit breakdown, and more reliable previews.

This release makes Architect **more autonomous and more reliable** — it can now test and fix your app on its own, deploy without a GitHub account, import an existing repo to continue building, and show you exactly where your credits go.

## New

**Added a testing agent that automatically tests and fixes the issues in your app.** Turn on **Test** in the chat composer and the agent verifies your app in a real browser after each build, catches the runtime and console errors you'd otherwise run into, and **fixes them on its own** — so you no longer have to spot an issue and prompt Architect to fix it. The app you get back has already been checked. *(Adds \~2–5 minutes per build; toggle it off anytime.)*

**Deploy without connecting GitHub.** You can now deploy immediately — **no GitHub account required.** Architect provisions and manages the repository for you using its own platform GitHub. Prefer to own the code? Use **Export to my GitHub** to move a platform-managed app into your own account whenever you like, and repositories are cleaned up automatically when an app is deleted.

**Import a GitHub repo and keep building.** Already have a **Next.js** project? Import any GitHub repository into Architect and continue building on it with Architect's agents — no need to start from scratch. Architect brings your codebase into a fresh workspace so you can iterate, add agents, and deploy from there.

**Rename your deployed app's URL.** Give your deployed app a **custom, memorable subdomain** instead of the auto-generated one. Pick a name that's on-brand; Architect checks that it's available and updates your app's live URL.

**See exactly where your credits go.** Usage now includes a **detailed, per-agent breakdown** of what each build consumed — across **Plan**, **Agent Creator**, **UI Generation**, **Build**, and **Testing** — alongside a token breakdown (input / output / cached) and your run and lifetime totals. The figures come straight from the sandbox's credit ledger with your billing rate applied, so what you see matches what you're charged.

## Improvements

**More reliable previews & sandboxes.** We've hardened the environment that runs your live preview and fixed the most common ways it used to break — previews stuck on **"Connection lost,"** **401 / "invalid sandbox"** errors, and apps **not serving on their preview port**. An app is now marked ready only once its preview actually loads (no more false "ready"), a momentary control-plane hiccup is treated as a transient blip rather than a crash, and your app keeps running through stray restarts — so previews come up cleanly and stay up.

**Your PRD stays in sync on every iteration.** The plan document now updates as you build. Each time you refine your app, Architect rewrites and persists the **PRD** to reflect the change — so the plan always mirrors the current state of your app, and every iteration carries accurate context.

**A more polished Architect, and better-looking apps.** We've refined Architect's overall look and feel, improved the visual quality of the apps it generates, and made the build chat more stable.
