SITE CHANGELOG
Navigation, pages, SEO, search, interfaces, deployment and technical fixes live here. Routine content, relationship and machine-index maintenance does not automatically become a reader update; only standalone essays and material revisions enter Essays.
Version release · SITE V4.4.3
The case library adds two current studies. Liantai Environment examines how funding conditions can rematch assets with owners; TCL Zhonghuan separates acquisition, expansion financing, control operation and long-run shareholder return. Both pages distinguish confirmed facts, current judgments and open outcomes, with bilingual pages, SEO, evidence records and machine interfaces updated together.
Page design · SITE V4.4.2
The Yunnan Water case adds a funding-capacity application card after the revision section, with questions on cash recovery, repayment and funding gaps, plus links to public evidence and free judgment tools. The free-products page adds a public-case exercise for readers to copy public material into their usual AI and check facts, analysis and missing evidence against the original case.
Technical fix · SITE V4.4.1
The bilingual label map now covers long-term tracking, verified primary sources, outcomes reopened by delisting and verified long-term outcomes. This fixes server rendering for Orient Landscape and related English canonical case pages without changing case judgments, evidence or publication boundaries.
Version release · SITE V4.4
The homepage thesis and navigation remain stable while the three essential reads move earlier. The Howard Capital OS page adds a public five-part path—objective, problem, alternatives, decision and action, outcome calibration—and explains how industry knowledge must change valuation, capital commitment, financing, stopping or exit. Maturity is updated to 3 September 2026 while prospective decision–action–outcome, cross-project and non-founder validation remain open.
Version release · SITE V4.3
The homepage now presents one founding proposition with Direction, Framing and Evolution as three core principles. Howard Capital OS is consistently defined as an AI-native operating system for major capital-market decisions, with Vision, Positioning, Strength Zone, Current Focus, Question–Project–Company and Decision Quality aligned across bilingual pages, SEO and machine interfaces. Maturity remains LIMITED GO, with no new trial, pricing or portfolio-management claims.
Page design · SITE V4.2.2
The case front page keeps three representative cases for explanation and trust, while adding a one-case-per-row directory grouped by enterprise lifecycle, comparative studies and industry topics. Questions, evidence and outcomes remain on detail pages.
Navigation · SITE V4.2.1
Events & Talks is removed from primary navigation and placed beneath the founder profile, distinguishing it from the founding thesis, decision methods, case library and Howard Capital OS. Its standalone page remains available through About, search, sitemap and machine indexes.
Version release · SITE V4.2
A bilingual Events & Talks entrance now preserves forums, talks and interviews across four layers: event facts, ideas and materials, coverage and feedback, and later revision. It begins with three existing public M&A slide decks. Unconfirmed events are not pre-published, while client materials, undisclosed projects and internal workflows remain private.
Version release · SITE V4.1.2
V1.1 defines five distinct outputs, quick and professional modes, F03 as the default first-use entry, product boundaries, next-product routing and version reopening. F05 is renamed from Auditor to Reviewer. Pages, instructions, downloads, search and machine interfaces are aligned while validation remains in progress.
Version release · SITE V4.1.1
Five standalone task entrances now have individual pages with online copy, fit boundaries, minimum input, visible outputs and fictional before/after examples. The hub adds a general-AI comparison, real-project route and per-skill anonymous events. V0.4.3 remains the general enhancement and continuing-workbench product.
Data interface · SITE V4.0
The home and navigation remain frozen. The site now records UTM, first and recent attribution and anonymous events; priority pages add the question answered, canonical/share copy and at most three next steps; Starter separates copy, download, feedback, repeat visits and test applications; server analytics distinguishes AI search, user fetch, training crawlers, search crawlers and scanners, with durable daily snapshots.
Version release · SITE V3.9
The homepage is reduced to five modules; the decision-quality page gains 30-second, five-minute, full-study and source layers; the cases page becomes a proof hub; machine objects gain system layer, object role, authority priority and a controlled relation vocabulary; controlled pages no longer conflict with the site-wide CC notice.
Version release · SITE V3.7
V0.4.3 clarifies the free product's sequence: improve one real judgment, preserve user-owned decision assets, then route professional systems only when needed. A local usage-change card is suggested only after sufficient repeated use, with no automatic upload or sending.
Version release · SITE V3.6
V0.4.2 adds restrained routing for important judgments, ongoing projects, professional scenarios and major integrated decisions, plus a full single-file edition for text-first AI tools while preserving the ZIP and V0.4.1 links.
Technical fix · SITE V3.5
The homepage and Capital OS page now share a concise OpenOS–Starter–Capital OS relationship. The Starter is explicitly a public sample with disclosed pretest scope, dimensions and non-claims, and starter pages use a dedicated V0.4.1 Trial Licence footer. The Deep Content page remains V1.2 as a dynamic catalogue. Email configuration is unchanged.
Version release · SITE V3.4
Judgment validation now uses three judgment types plus outcome calibration. The five-stage lifecycle is separated from the five analytical dimensions, while task maps remain applied entrances. Tus scope now distinguishes the enterprise's long research cycle, Howard's more than three years inside the company, and later research, tracking and restructuring practice across public pages, machine indexes, English and version records.
Version release · SITE V3.3
A new philosophy statement moves beyond ordinary questioning toward problem framing and decision architecture. It is preserved under the founding-thesis system and linked selectively from the homepage rather than treated as a transient update.
Technical fix · SITE V3.2
The homepage, Howard Capital OS page and hazardous-waste demonstrator now protect Chinese semantic phrases from character-level breaks while retaining responsive wrapping on narrow screens.
Version release · SITE V3.1
Three representative evidence cards—Tus Environmental, the 2020 hazardous-waste judgment and Yunnan Water—now state exactly what each proves. Howard OpenOS is consistently defined as the public thought and evidence layer of Howard Capital OS; the Capital OS page discloses formed, in-progress and not-claimed capabilities, while the first evidence-audited public decision-engineering demonstrator is established.
Version release · SITE V2.8
The flagship layer is redefined around Tus Environmental, Orient Landscape, Yunnan Water, a listed-company restructuring cluster, and a Weile–Top Resource capital-structure cluster. Hazardous waste, accounting, integration and judgment validation return to cross-case support layers, with explicit evidence maturity and publication boundaries.
Version release · SITE V2.7
Three reading depths—30 seconds, five minutes and the full study—show the causal chain across expansion, equity capacity, debt tenor and liquidity, together with recalculated figures, later outcomes, explicit revisions and research-role boundaries.
Page design · SITE V2.6
The five stages become a visual path with one to three representative practices per stage. Three independent AJ Capital investments are presented as one Qingdao/Jiangsu/Zhejiang practice group, preserving the existing privacy boundary without creating an inconsistent reading experience.
Deployment · SITE V2.5
Apple home-screen icons, a standalone app name, full-screen launch mode and a web-app manifest allow readers to add the site from Safari and reopen it like an app while always seeing the current site.
SEO · SITE V2.4
Orient Landscape, hazardous waste and judgment validation replace abstract templates as homepage proof. Essays move to a secondary position, three flagship pages add 30-second, 5-minute and full-study paths, and branding, version dates and search titles are aligned.
Page design · SITE V2.3
Five stages—observation, independent investing, industrial systems, cycle and governance, and complex decisions—show how the unit of judgment expanded and each stage corrected the limits of the last.
Data interface · SITE V2.2
Traditional incineration and landfill are modelled separately from recovery, with the cycle thesis focused on supply, price, capital, valuation and exit.
Version release · SITE V2.1
The page marks phase one complete, clarifies that nineteen nodes do not mean nineteen full public cases, moves case-level depth backstage and registers reopening conditions tied to real counterexamples, structural change, material outcomes or factual correction.
Data interface · SITE V2.0
Gaoyou Kangbo and Jiangsu Yonghui are confirmed as traditional incineration projects. The page adds continued price decline and full impairment of original goodwill, while treating recovery/refining as a separate model.
Page design · SITE V1.9
The page presents the contemporary judgment, contrary market expansion, later industry outcomes and boundary refinements together.
Page design · SITE V1.8
The public page retains enough core judgment, case relationships and evidence boundaries to be tested. Deep-verification pilots, project application and current raw facts are separated by verification cost, authorisation and professional responsibility without prematurely creating a membership product.
Page design · SITE V1.7
Nineteen historical enterprise and transaction nodes are organised into portfolio, M&A and operating-comparison groups, with business-model, capital-cycle and de-identified recent-practice layers.
Page design · SITE V1.6
No-update-today and latest-date notices are removed. Today's Updates becomes a secondary Essays entrance reserved for independently valuable thinking and material revisions.
Data interface · SITE V1.5
A case can be read through its enterprise lifecycle and called horizontally by industry topics such as hazardous waste; the relationships also enter search, sitemap and machine indexes.
Version release · SITE V1.4
Today's Updates now contains only changes in judgments, cases, evidence, methods and outcomes; navigation, SEO, search, versions and technical fixes live here.
SEO · SITE V1.4
On-site search remains available, while query results are excluded from indexing and canonicalised to the main search page.
Page design · SITE V1.4
Object type, case cluster, participation, time horizon and outcome are shown in natural language, while machine codes remain in a secondary disclosure.
Page design · SITE V1.4
Existing essays, books and long-term cases now connect through questions, judgments, cases, methods and canonical pages without empty sections or generated filler.
Deployment · SITE V1.0
Domain, HTTPS and public deployment were completed, and canonical pages and machine endpoints moved to the official domain.
Search · SITE V1.0
On-site search, sitemap, JSON indexes, feed and llms.txt were added.
Version release · SITE V0.9
The home, principles, methods, cases, updates and founder pages formed the first connected public release.
