How the May spec changed

Summary

The May 2026 spec set hard rules that later changed. Old specs in git can mislead, so read the current page, not the spec. Reasons for each change are on the linked page. Where a change has no reason there, it was not written down at the time.

May spec (Product.md at cc989505)	Now
Android only in V1, web later	Inbox and Tax gate the web launch (product-scope)
No AI in V1	AI as parser fallback (parsing) and for questions on AI plans (ui)
One yearly entitlement across all years	One payment per AY (pricing-and-unlocks)
Text-layer PDF and XLSX only	Scanned PDFs go to the fallback (parsing); phone scan is FEAT-0019
Email and password sign-up	Code-based sign-in in June (592f2d58), password added back 2026-11-01 (6281b934, IDEA-0002) (auth-and-security)
