Release Notes

What's new in CardRevive AI card grading

v2.34 June 2026

Teal Refresh, Smarter Centering & the Decision Center

Highlights

  • +Refreshed teal brand across the app, navbar, footer, and exported PDF reports
  • +Smarter centering for borderless and full-art cards that ignores scanner margins and non-printed artwork bands
  • +New Decision Center with restore-vs-grade-vs-hold guidance and saved next steps per card

Grading Accuracy

  • Centering for borderless and full-art cards now grades from visible design symmetry instead of treating scanner background margins or internal artwork bands as true printed borders
  • Centering scores are raised when measured ratios or the written rationale support a higher PSA tier, while low-confidence measurements no longer act as hard caps for borderless cards
  • Added a deterministic assembly fallback so a card still receives consistent PSA, BGS, and TAG grades from its locked subgrades if the assembly model returns no content
  • Cards with no usable edge view now skip the edges pass cleanly instead of being penalised on missing data

Scanning & Cropping

  • Single and bulk croppers now auto-deskew tilted scans using detected card rotation, with a separate fine-rotation slider for manual touch-ups
  • Bulk mode gained a real auto-crop-remaining action that detects and crops every outstanding image in one step
  • Card detection was streamlined and hardened for more reliable edge and corner placement

Decision Center & Report

  • The grade report is reorganised into a Grading Snapshot, a Decision Center, and Detailed Findings for a clearer top-to-bottom read
  • The new restore-vs-grade-vs-hold panel gives guidance on the best next step for each card
  • Your selected next step and notes are now saved per card so the decision sticks between visits

Design

  • Brand colour refreshed from purple to a teal/cyan identity, with a retinted background palette and warmer gold accents
  • Navbar and footer polished with rounded pills, subtle glow, stronger blur, and a gradient sign-up button
  • Exported PDF grade reports updated to match the new teal accent
v2.226 April 2026

Deterministic Grading Math & Portal Workflow

Highlights

  • +PSA, BGS, and TAG final grades now normalize from locked subgrades after AI assembly
  • +BGS and TAG no longer borrow PSA-derived values when their own subgrades are available
  • +Production deploys now reset to the freshly fetched commit and print the deployed SHA

Grading Accuracy

  • Added deterministic report normalization after the AI assembly pass so PSA, BGS, and TAG grades stay consistent with centering, corners, edges, and surface subgrades
  • BGS final grades now follow the lowest-subgrade rule directly from BGS subgrades instead of being estimated from PSA
  • TAG grades now consistently use the 1000-point scale for final grades, ranges, and stored subgrades
  • Company reasoning text is regenerated from normalized math so explanations match the final displayed grades
  • Back-only centering measurements are now honoured instead of being ignored when front contour confidence is unavailable

Grade Display & Overrides

  • Grade cards and library labels prefer stored BGS values before PSA fallbacks
  • Manual centering overrides now recompute BGS and TAG finals server-side from company subgrades
  • Submission planner comparisons normalize TAG 1000-point values before recommending PSA, BGS, or TAG
  • Company grade labels normalize mixed 10-point, 100-point, and 1000-point values before assigning grade tiers

Portal & Deployment

  • Portal grading support added for authenticated requests with remote front/back image download and normalized response mapping
  • Production deploy workflow now resets to the freshly fetched commit instead of a potentially stale remote-tracking branch
  • Deploy logs now print the exact commit being built and restarted for easier live verification
v2.14 April 2026

Mobile UX Overhaul & Public Sharing

Highlights

  • +Centering override now works on all cards — no contour data required
  • +Pinch-to-zoom on centering override for precise line adjustment on thin borders
  • +One-tap public sharing — share your grade report with anyone via link

Centering Override

  • Removed contour data requirement — centering override now works on every graded card
  • Pinch-to-zoom up to 8x for precise line positioning on thin borders
  • Mobile layout: front/back tabs instead of side-by-side (one card fills the screen)
  • Overlay lines now track the actual card image instead of extending into empty space
  • Override button added inside the centering subgrade section — no more scrolling past images
  • Grade ranges (PSA, BGS, TAG) update in the library after applying a centering override

Image Cropper

  • Two-finger twist gesture to rotate card images on mobile
  • Bigger rotation icons and full-width slider between rotation buttons
  • Improved button layout on mobile — Confirm Crop is full width, secondary actions in a grid
  • Removed duplicate 'Crop Front/Back Image' headings

Sharing & Public Access

  • Share button auto-enables public access on first share — no extra steps
  • Shared grade pages show 'Back to Home' for visitors instead of 'Back to Library'
  • Card images visible to anyone viewing a publicly shared report

Grade Optimizer

  • Cert/serial number lookup — enter a PSA or BGS cert number to auto-fill grade details
  • Cross-grade intelligence notes based on real collector data
  • Important considerations and warnings section for edge cases

Performance & Reliability

  • Login now redirects to dashboard instead of grade page
  • Fixed internal server address leaking into login callback URLs
  • Browser cache headers force revalidation on every page visit — no more stale content after deploys
  • Analytics and tracking scripts deferred to lazy-load for faster page paint
  • Reduced homepage DOM size — showcase carousel loads fewer cards
  • Fixed deploy pipeline — server now force-syncs with latest code on every deploy
  • TikTok and YouTube added to footer social links
  • Credit buy button in navbar is now clearly visible
  • New accounts receive 3 free grades (up from 1)
  • Default currency changed to AUD to match Stripe billing
v2.031 March 2026
