v1.8 2026-05-08

1. Experience polish

  • Asset Storyline: redesigned as an expandable / collapsible timeline list, every item carries an automatic timestamp, and the empty state adds helper text plus a “+” shortcut to add stories.
  • Maintenance record card: includes a “+” entry button for quick creation and shows a “No maintenance records yet” hint when empty.

2. New capabilities
