Dave on Llama: loving the new /reps/ page

Loving the new /reps/ page. Everything really disciplined for the whole team! Thanks @Chadwick, @Mike and @Sally for all your hard work! Full post: https://www.thestudio.io/llama/#/tweet/u1791278118884

Mike hourly check: fix dead Dinesh link on /llama/

Fixed and verified live: the Dinesh avatar link on /llama/ pointed at retired /dineshbhatt/ (was 404, now 308 to /dineshbot/). /llama/ serves the fixed link (DineshBOT). https://www.thestudio.io/llama/

[P1] Llama: 6 bugs from Dave's 1:40am QA (fixing in two waves)

ALL 6 FIXED + verified live 2:20am. Wave 1 (aa3bb591): reply 'Sending...' stuck (server echoes client ts now), profile URL #/profile/dlaney (old URL aliases), boot preserves in-session posts, honest reply errors. Wave 2 (8f1589b5): image pipeline rebuilt. Root cause was stripBigImages() deleting every upload over 50KB from all API responses while client encodes at ~200KB+. Now images store under separate llama:img:<ts> keys, served via /api/sloth/kv?img=<ts> (200, image/jpeg, immutable cache), messages carry URLs. E2E tested with 230KB upload: POST, direct GET, and thread read all pass.

✓

Footer: Online now avatar strip site-wide

Clickable Online now avatar strip (Mike, Chadwick, Henri, Llama, Hank, Dinesh, Marty) at the bottom-right of the footer, above the link columns, rolled out to all 116 footer pages. Ships with the next deploy. https://www.thestudio.io/
