New product features
Dynamic node groups with autoscaling
Dynamic nodes:
- User can create "Dynamic node groups" in the same UI where nodes are
- For each dynamic node group, the user can specify how many on-demand nodes and of what type, how many spot nodes and of what type, and how many worktrees of each assigned project get auto-allocated when a node is launched
- Autoscaling group(s) automatically provision the desired number of nodes and register them with the system
- Projects assigned to dynamic nodes automatically get worktrees provisioned on the nodes

Per-user notification preferences with Slack
Change notifications:
- Remove Telegram notifications from nodes.
- Each user can add multiple notification methods from the list of available ones. Current choices: Slack. When Slack is selected, the user can enter their Slack user ID. An admin can select an org-wide Slack credential in System / Settings.
- The user can specify which notifications they want to receive. Build a nice UI for that. For example, I want a notification when a task is finished and when questions are waiting for me, but I don't want to receive the full questions. It should be flexible but very efficient: very few words, very few clicks.
- All of this is the same code for Admin / Users / user / Notifications and Profile / Notifications.

Server-side auto-save for long tickets
When writing a very long ticket for an epic, say 3-4 pages, the user would have a heart attack if they accidentally closed the tab and lost everything. So AppName must auto-save the input every X seconds, with X set to a value that avoids putting unnecessary load on the backend.
Change the existing draft saving:
- Save the draft on the server instead of locally.
- Auto-save every X seconds. An admin sets X in System / Settings. The starting value is 15.
- The user sees the task as "New task" in the task list. While it is a draft, the task gets an id, but the LLM has not processed the title yet.
- Other people don't see it until the user saves it.
- Auto-save works the same way for new tasks and for edits to existing tasks.

Add an Assigned To field to tasks
On the New and Edit task forms:
- Add an Assigned To field to the right of Attach: a lookup dropdown with the names of users who have access to the project. Initial value: the user who creates the task.
- When an existing task is edited and Assigned To changes, the new assignee gets a brief notification that the task was assigned to them, through the standard notifications path (Profile / Notifications).
- All notifications about the task go to the Assigned To person.
- Assigned To can be changed even after the task is completed.

Add a Comments tab to tasks
Add comments to tasks:
- Each task gets a Comments tab
- Any user who can see the task (tasks:view is enough) can post a comment
- The author of a comment can edit or delete it
- Make it extremely space-efficient: use the user's badge (the same one as the owner badge and owner filter in the task list), a dense layout and relative times (reuse the standard)
- Minimal formatting: word makes it bold
- Users can mention others with @name (first last)
- It should look space-efficient on both web and a standard-size phone
(see attached screenshot)

Make the tax rate a user setting
In the portfolio report, the Tax Savings field uses a hard-coded 17% tax rate to calculate the possible tax savings on unrealized gains and losses. Instead, store this value on the backend and let the user change it. On the new Settings tab, under General, add a card titled "Tax Settings" with an editable text field called Federal Tax Rate, set to 17% by default. The portfolio report should load this value when it opens, but the user must still be able to override it for a single report.

Feature progress circles and drag-and-drop reordering
For the new project tree view:
- Add a progress circle to the left of the title showing the percentage of completed tasks within a feature (e.g. 70%), the same as for epics.
- Let the user rearrange the order of features with drag and drop.
- Let the user drag a task onto the project name or onto "Other" to remove it from its feature.

Build a Translate persona for localization PRs
Create a persona "Translate" that specializes in translating texts into other languages, following the guidelines, affinities and sentiments, translating jokes as closely as possible and understanding context. Do deep research and equip it with relevant agentic skills and subagents. Just like Coder, Translate produces PRs. Its gate is to make sure all new items are translated, and those that did not change are skipped.

Build an editor for invitation email templates
Adding a user sends them an invitation email with a link to log in.
Make a great-looking email template. Create an email template editor. There may be different types of templates, and the operator can select which template of a given type is active.

Add a playbook picker to task modes
I created a new playbook (see attached screenshot), but I don't see it in the available modes (screenshot attached).
Add a setting: Enable Playbooks. Initial value (system setting) = Off, can be overridden per org.
When it's On, add a 4th icon for Playbook. Clicking it shows a nice dropdown listing the non-default playbooks. When a playbook is selected, the control is replaced with the playbook's name. The user should then be able to click on it and select another playbook or one of the standard modes. When a standard mode is selected, the control goes back to normal.

Show a diff when a task description changes
Whenever a task's description is modified, it's not clear what exactly changed, because the text is trimmed (see attached screenshot).
Instead, let the user click a button and see a git-like comparison view that visualizes the changes. For example: (see attached screenshot)

Add Imported and Live Transactions Sub-Tabs
On the Transactions page, add two sub-tabs: Imported and Live. The Imported tab should hold the page that the Transactions page shows now. The Live tab should show transactions directly from the custodian's API, with these filters:
- By date range
- By account number
- By transaction type (fetch this list in real time from the custodian's API too)

Integrations with outside services
Session statistics with AWS Athena
Implement AWS Athena over session transcripts. Keep it simple at first.
We want to see statistics over a period:
- How much time was spent on initial exploration, analysis, coding, verification, running the full test gate until it goes green, designing the report and reporting the outcome.
- Purpose: understand what consumes the most time and resources, and optimize the agents. What else could we look at?

Set up email sending for the agent

Email becomes another notification option.
Out of scope: processing received emails (just the plumbing for now).

Automation and background jobs
