NachoWorks Release Notes

The Internal Meeting Walkthrough Is Current: The demo checklist now carries the existing August 4–13 presentation forward through August 17, adding the latest site-readiness, performance, accessibility, Wall-safety, and SweetWorks image-exploration work without losing earlier prep notes. It also gives the team a clear decision point for a brighter Arcade direction and the possible Team Choose/Team Sweet style switch.

Custom Shake Ideas Are Much Easier to Explore: The developer image sandbox now has its own SweetWorks Shake playground. You can load a ready-made shake or build one ingredient by ingredient, then test five distinct looks—from a balanced hero shot to rim-overflow and playful flavor-flight treatments—before choosing a direction for customer-facing images.

The Demo Stage Is Clear Everywhere: A visible site notice now explains that ordering, rewards, locations, events, and impact figures are illustrative. The locator and truck tracker repeat that context where it matters most, use demo/sample labels instead of live-service language, and present sample reactions as concept feedback instead of customer reviews.

The Demo Notice Stays Out of Your Way: The demo-stage notice now has a clear close button, remembers dismissal for the current browser session, and moves fullscreen Build Station and homepage controls below itself instead of covering them.

Public Build Profiles Keep Private Details Private: The Chomunity Wall still has the recipe and creator details needed for sharing and ordering, but account email addresses and internal moderation, payment, image-generation, and review fields are no longer included in its public data.

Build Ownership Is Better Protected: New build claims can no longer replace an existing recipe with the same identity, naming-rights extensions are limited to the owning account, popularity updates are bounded, and shared card artwork can only be replaced by an administrator.

The Homepage Starts Faster and Moves More Respectfully: The opening animation now appears after its first usable frame instead of waiting for all 193 images. It streams the remaining sequence in the background, uses fewer frames on mobile, and avoids automatic scrolling for visitors who prefer reduced motion.

Locations No Longer Imply Unconfirmed Service: Searching near a ZIP code no longer turns unrelated businesses into supposed active NachoWorks truck stops. The experience now uses clearly marked sample locations and schedules for demonstration only.

Safer Browsing and Easier Discovery: Baseline browser security headers, working search-engine instructions, a sitemap, richer sharing metadata, labeled Contact fields, and named CHOpilot controls improve safety, discovery, and accessibility across the site.

Mobile Navigation Is Easier to Identify: The slide-out menu and its close control now have clear assistive-technology labels, and automated checks target the open drawer directly for more dependable mobile-flow coverage.

Unverified Contact Details Are Gone: The demo Contact page now points visitors to the working form and verified email without presenting a fictional street address or phone number.

Quality Checks Are Easier to Trust: Development lint reports now skip generated deployment and test output, making future site issues easier to identify and fix without thousands of bundle-generated messages obscuring the result.

The Runtime Dependency Baseline Is Safer: Patched framework and image-processing updates address known security advisories, while deployment-only tooling is now kept outside the production runtime dependency set.

The Sauce Flight Keeps a Valid Product Image: Its gallery no longer references three missing image files, preventing broken secondary artwork from appearing while browsing the product.

Animation Experiments Stay Separate From the Product Release: Scroll-animation draft frames and prompt explorations now remain local while the finished website work stays focused and easier to review.

Every Ingredient Gets Its Own Close-Up: A new prompt set directs the camera to give chips, beef, queso, pico, jalapenos, and sour cream separate hero moments in one smooth, uninterrupted build, making the food journey clearer and more satisfying to watch.

The Nacho Build Has More Cinematic Close-Ups to Explore: Sixteen new one-shot directions let the camera travel naturally from crisp chips through beef, queso, pico, jalapenos, and a final sour-cream finish. They add more ways to use dramatic food detail, zooms, focus shifts, parallax, and slow motion without losing the smooth scroll feel.
