# AI Coder Releases
> Release notes for Specode AI Coder updates
## 🎯 Highlights
* Redesigned HIPAA compliance agent with clear scan categories and plain-language reporting
* Maestro can now plan and implement HIPAA audit logging for PHI/ePHI surfaces
## ✨ New Features
* **Audit Log Implementation** - Maestro inspects the repo, confirms PHI surfaces with the user, walks through policy decisions (reviewer access, retention, self-access rules), and wires inline audit logging into every approved read and write surface with scalar-only metadata that never contains PHI values.
## 🔧 Improvements
* **Simplified HIPAA Agent**: The HIPAA compliance scan now organizes findings into clear categories (RBAC, Audit Logging, MFA, Encryption at Rest and In Transit, Communication Security, and more). Each category shows when it's being checked, with plain-language descriptions of what was found and where - no technical jargon. Issues can be sent directly to Maestro for automated fixes.
## 🐛 Bug Fixes
* **Blank Preview Fix**: Resolved an issue where the app preview would show a blank screen after builds or changes, requiring a manual refresh
* **Callback Hook Fix**: Fixed a bug where the callback hook would block implementation progress even when the server showed no pending reviews
## 🎯 Highlights
* New Maestro skill system: 8 healthcare-specific skills (Intake, Scheduling, Admin UX, Provider Profile, Provider Search, Organization Topology, MFA Implementation, Twilio SMS)

**HIPAA Compliance Agent**
Specode now includes a built-in HIPAA Compliance Agent that scans your codebase for potential HIPAA violations — no setup required.
**How it works:**
* Run the agent on demand from the Compliance Center inside the AI Coder whenever you want to check your app's compliance
* The agent uses a multi-agent system: two independent AI agents scan your code in parallel, then a third merges and verifies the results to reduce false positives
* Issues are categorized by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low) so you know what to fix first
* Once flagged, you can copy the issue into the AI Coder chat and ask it to fix it for you
* Re-run the agent after fixes and it will automatically mark resolved issues as complete
**What it checks:**
The agent currently covers a focused subset of HIPAA rules, including authentication and session security, data handling, and common compliance pitfalls. Additional categories will be added over time.
**Good to know:**
* Each full scan takes roughly 3-4 minutes and costs approximately 1 credit
* The agent includes automatic retry if a scan fails mid-run
* All scan history is saved so you can track your compliance progress over time
## 🎯 Highlights

* **Expanded Pro Plan**: Pro now includes 2,200 credits, hands-on support with prompt guidance and unblocking sessions.
## 🔧 Improvements
* **Design Quality Upgrade**: Added a design skill to the AI coder so generated apps produce cleaner, more polished UIs out of the box.
* **Faster Subscription Activation**: Reduced wait time when activating or renewing a subscription.
* **Deploy Errors Surfaced in UI**: Preview deployment errors are now shown directly in the app instead of requiring users to check the browser console.
