Release History

Coach Clutch — Trinket and Gear Grounding

Coach Clutch will no longer name specific trinkets, weapons, or enchants without first looking them up from your actual equipped gear. Earlier this week the AI was occasionally inventing plausible-sounding item names (real lore words combined into items that don't exist) when answering questions like "when should I use my trinket?". The fix forces the model to fetch your real loadout from your latest pull before naming anything specific. Generic gear advice ("macro on-use trinkets to your major cooldown") is unaffected.

Rotation Guide Always Loaded

Your spec's rotation guide is now pulled in as context for every Coach Clutch chat — not just when you ask a rotation question. This stops the AI from drifting onto generic advice or fabricating opener steps on follow-up turns where the original tool data has been compacted out of memory.

• Opener answers must use the guide's numbered priority list rather than inventing per-second timestamps
• Talent effects ("X grants N% haste", "Y resets Z's cooldown") must come from real talent descriptions for your loadout, not from training memory
• Numeric thresholds and benchmarks must come from the guide's exact phrasing — no per-fight extrapolations from per-window targets

Honest About What We Can't Answer

• Coach Clutch will now say "I don't have your gear data for this fight" rather than invent gear names when the data hasn't been captured
• Prior-turn answers in the same chat session aren't treated as facts — the model has to re-verify against tool data each turn

Coach Clutch — Investigator Mode

Coach Clutch's voice has been rebuilt around how a real coach actually talks. Instead of one rigid fix-list template, every response now picks from four archetypes — investigation, validation, comparison, or coaching plan — based on what you actually asked.

• V2 is now the default — the old V1 toggle has been retired
• Recurring active issues now dedupe properly so a problem you've been working on actually accumulates over time
• Stricter anti-hallucination rules: Coach Clutch can no longer name-drop removed mechanics, fabricate stat numbers (item level, max HP, gear score), or recommend defensive cooldowns that aren't in your actual talent loadout
• Hero talent advice stays within your own tree — no more cross-tree leakage
• Stale chat context between turns is compacted to keep responses focused on the current question

Position Snapshots

A new chart type for when where you were matters more than what happened. Coach Clutch can now emit a top-down tactical map of an encounter at the moment of a death or positioning question — boss in the middle, you and your party plotted with arrows, rings, ghost trails, and movement deltas.

• Pulled directly from combat log positional data — every coordinate is a real number from the fight, not an AI guess
• Built-in fabrication guardrails (clean-number checks, wrong-fight detection)
• Coach Clutch can chain a death analysis straight into a position snapshot to show you the moment before the kill

WarcraftLogs Parity — Brewmaster Healing

Brewmaster Stagger absorbs are no longer counted as healing. Stagger isn't a true shield — it ticks the absorbed damage back to you over time as Stagger DoT — so it doesn't represent real "saved" HP. Matching WarcraftLogs methodology here means tank healing numbers drop, but they're now accurate.

• Reported HPS for Brewmaster tanks will be noticeably lower — this is a correction, not a regression
• Per-fight damage taken and healing taken are now tracked and surfaced on fight detail responses
• Interrupts, dispels, and casts now tracked per-player per-fight — visible on fight detail and ready for upcoming utility leaderboards
• Dispel undercount fix: friendly-target cleanses (dispelling debuffs off teammates) were being dropped during trash pulls, so utility scores understated healers and tanks
• SPELL_ABSORBED events no longer double-count on partial absorbs against shielded enemies

Sharing & Auto-Recap

• Share cards now render as PNG instead of SVG — cleaner image previews when posting to Discord, Reddit, or socials
• Auto-recap weekly digest enriched with deep links straight to the moments that mattered
• Moment callouts highlight the specific deaths, big hits, and recovery windows worth re-watching

Under the Hood

• About WowCoach moved to its own page (was pointing at the home page)
• SimC engine bumped twice with fixture rebaselines for tighter sim parity (Destro Lock recalibrated, Unholy Death Knight profiles added)
• Pricing page restored Party Plan visibility and tightened mobile breakpoints
• Stronger talent-entry → spell mapping powers more accurate defensive cooldown tracking

Fight Replay Rebuilt

The replay view is now time-coupled — the master timeline is a sticky scrubber that drives every panel together. Drag it and the focused-target view, sidebar, and (on mobile) the inline tactical map all follow.

• Master timeline merged into the sticky scrubber
• Mechanics-only view filters out routine damage so you can scan for what actually went wrong
• Mobile gets an inline tactical map and a unified Adds view
• Boss HP follows the boss correctly across phase changes
• Death and resurrection events render cleanly across panels

Coach Clutch — Sharper, More Honest

Two long-standing bugs that produced false coaching points are fixed:

• Evokers no longer get a phantom "missing buff" coaching point. The check was looking for a passive that isn't in any Evoker spec's talent tree, so every Evoker chat was being told it was missing.
• Modern talent loadouts are recognized. A stale heuristic rejected any loadout with more than 50 nodes — but specs with hero talents routinely have 60–80. Coach Clutch now reads them correctly and tailors advice to your actual picks.
• Old coaching-memory entries from the buggy windows have been cleaned up so they don't replay in new chats.

Multi-Character, Cross-Realm Players

• Combat-log names match against your linked characters with proper realm awareness — fewer wrong-character mix-ups
• Recent run grades show the actual raid difficulty instead of defaulting
• Death attribution sharper on Mythic+ runs with trash gaps between bosses

Spell Data Refresh

• Spell mappings updated for Unholy and Frost Death Knight, Arms and Fury Warrior, Havoc and Vengeance Demon Hunter, Devastation and Augmentation Evoker, and Demonology Warlock
• Frost Mage shatter description and spell ID corrected
• Demonology Warlock rotation guide enriched with sourced reasoning
• Empty-branch aura conditionals dropped to stop guides from fabricating talent-gated effects

Under the Hood

• Strategy lookup normalizes difficulty keys for consistent results across raid sizes
• SimC engine bumped for closer sim parity

Coach Clutch on Midnight

Coach Clutch has been on Midnight rotations and talents for months. Last week, in the few days right after patch 12.0.5 went live, a brief data lag on a couple of specs caused some chats to pull from outdated TWW talent data — surfacing references to abilities that no longer exist. The lag is gone and the issue is fully resolved. If a chat from that short window looked off, retry it.

More Reliable Recaps

• Weekly auto-recaps are back to running on time after a backlog issue
• "Focus Next Session" now renders as a proper checklist

Sharper Death Analysis

• Avoidable damage scoring catches more of the deaths that actually were avoidable
• Tank-melee swings are no longer hidden behind "everyone takes that"
• Old scoring on previously-parsed logs gets refreshed automatically

Parser Improvements

• Multi-run logs split correctly across zone and difficulty changes
• Better handling of very large raid logs

Coming Soon (in development, currently flagged off)

• Live death analysis — context for what killed you computed while we parse, so the breakdown loads instantly and goes deeper than today.

Smaller Things

• Footer links restored: Desktop App, Discord Bot, Developers, About, Blog
• Better recognition of healing potions and Healthstones across non-English clients

AskLogs — Smarter Queries

• New domain functions: rotation_timeline with downtime detection, death_summary per-pull mode, raid_buff_check for food/flask/Bloodlust audits
• Better parameter normalization — handles spec names, class names, and role filters more reliably
• Improved routing for damage/healing per-player queries using PlayerFightStats instead of raw events
• Fixed Voidlust detection and consolidated haste-buff IDs

Coach Clutch V2

V2 is now powered by the AskLogs query engine — the same framework that drives natural-language log queries. This means Coach Clutch can pull real data (DPS timelines, death breakdowns, buff uptimes) directly into chat responses instead of relying on pre-computed summaries.

• Inline d3 charts rendered directly in chat responses — DPS timelines, damage breakdowns, and more
• Cross-session memory: Coach Clutch remembers context from previous conversations
• User identity resolution — knows who you are in the raid
• Tighter anti-hallucination rules: no guessed spec IDs, no fight_id sentinels, no made-up abilities
• Pet damage properly attributed to owners
• WebSocket-based streaming for faster responses

New Report Layout (Beta)

Try the new 2-column report layout with the "Try new layout" button on any report page.

• Sidebar with pull navigation — raid progression bars or dungeon route timeline
• Click any fight to load full analysis inline — no page redirect
• All 9 fight tabs (Summary, Events, Interrupts, Buffs, Deaths, Replay, Healing, Rotation, Resources) render without leaving the page
• Keyboard shortcuts: arrow keys to switch fights, Escape to return to overview
• Unified player rankings with Damage/Healing/Deaths sort toggle
• Mobile responsive with collapsible sidebar

AI Coach — Defensive Cooldown Tracking

• The AI now knows exactly which defensive cooldowns you had available when you died — no more guessing
• Per-player breakdown shows your most commonly unused defensives across all deaths (e.g. "Blur was available for 13 of your 29 deaths")
• Defensive data is resolved from actual combat log spell tracking, not AI training data

AI Coach — Honest Scope Handling

• When asked to analyze an entire raid, the AI now tells you upfront what it can and cannot see
• Report-level summaries cover all players with accurate death counts, kill causes, and defensive usage
• For rotation and talent advice, the AI asks you to pick specific players for a deep dive instead of fabricating advice
• Click on a specific fight to get detailed per-pull analysis with full context

AI Coach — Prompt Refactor

• Consolidated duplicate coaching rules into a single shared ruleset — fixes apply to both normal and analyst modes
• Reduced report-level context size by 90% (from ~65k tokens to ~8k tokens) by replacing individual death records with pre-aggregated summaries
• Faster AI response times due to smaller context window

AI Coach — Buff Analysis Overhaul

• Raid buff categorization improved with name-based matching for variant spell IDs (e.g. different ranks of the same buff)
• Alive-only uptime calculations — players who died are no longer penalized for missing buffs after death
• Death detection in buff coaching prompts — AI no longer blames players for buff negligence during wipes
• SQL queries reordered for accurate buff uptime event sequencing
• Shadowform usage clarified in coaching context

AI Coach — Wipe & Phase Analysis

• Phase count now loaded from phase config instead of fight data, fixing incorrect phase tracking
• Phase context added to run summaries so wipe closeness analysis correctly accounts for multi-phase encounters
• Added Mythic difficulty strategy for Crown of the Cosmos in The Voidspire

Rotation & Cooldown Analysis

Movement Detection in Rotation Analysis

Position tracking has been added to combat events, enabling the rotation analysis to detect player movement during encounters. This lays the groundwork for identifying movement-related DPS losses and optimizing uptime.

Rotation Analysis Fixes

• Passive procs (Shadowy Apparition, Soul Fragment, etc.) are now filtered from the cast sequence — they previously inflated cast counts and created false idle gaps in the rotation timeline
• Spell serializer now preserves IsPassiveProc, IsChanneled, proc, and resource generation fields that were being silently dropped during sync service roundtrips

AI Coach Improvements

• Increased token limits to prevent chat responses from being cut off
• Prompting efficiencies for more focused and relevant coaching advice

Share a direct link to a specific pull using URL hashes like /auto-analysis/SESSION_ID#pull-3. The page scrolls straight to that pull on load.

Parser: Pet & Aura Classification

• Player pets (Demonic Tyrant, totems, Hunter pets) are now correctly distinguished from boss creatures using combat log flags
• Aura data now tracks target type — enables smarter filtering of boss mechanics vs. player DoTs on enemies

Boss Kill Summary Rework

• Spotlight callouts are now data-driven with verifiable stats (top DPS, lowest deaths, highest HPS) instead of AI-generated MVPs
• Death details included in AI summary generation for richer kill breakdowns
• Rate limit checks on auto-triggered summaries to prevent runaway credit usage

Fight Replay Screencasting (PRO)

The raid leader can now screencast their Fight Replay to the entire team. One click and everyone connected sees the same thing — in real-time:

• Viewers see the map exactly as the leader sees it: zoom, pan, play, pause, scrub — all synced live
• The leader can draw on the map in real-time and everyone connected watches it happen
• Perfect for post-pull review: "see where you were standing here?" — and everyone sees it instantly
• Viewer count so you know who is watching

Wowhead Spell Tooltips

Spell names mentioned in AI analysis now show Wowhead hover tooltips. This works across all AI features:

• Wipe Analysis — Spell names in chain of events, primary cause, and advice sections
• Run Summary — Death causes, key events, and improvement suggestions
• Coach Clutch Chat — Killing blows, defensive cooldowns, and rotation spells

All spell IDs come from verified combat log data, not AI-generated. Hover any dotted-underlined spell name to see its full Wowhead tooltip with description, damage values, and cooldown info.

Cache Reset

We cleared the AI analysis cache so all existing summaries will regenerate fresh with tooltip support when you next view them.

AI Run Summary

Every uploaded report now automatically gets an AI-generated executive summary showing at the top of the page:

• Quick Stats - Key level, completion time, deaths at a glance
• What Happened - Key events and moments from your run
• What Went Wrong - Issues identified with player attribution
• Fix This Next - Actionable advice for your next attempt

Summaries are generated automatically after parsing completes. If you open a report while generation is in progress, the UI polls until it is ready. M+ summaries include timer status and death time cost; raid summaries include progression context and boss attempts.

Shareable Summary Cards

Click the share button to download your run summary as an image or copy to clipboard. Perfect for sharing in Discord or with your guild.

Ask Coach Integration

• Contextual "Ask Coach" buttons in the summary based on identified issues
• New "Ask Coach" button in death recap modal pre-fills the question with death context
• Questions link directly to the relevant fight or player for follow-up

Bloodlust Timeline Fix

Evoker's Plot the Future talent grants a self-only Fury of the Aspects proc that was incorrectly showing as raid-wide bloodlust on the Pull Timeline. We now require at least 2 targets within 2 seconds to count as a real lust.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed AI counting Mage Mirror Image Frostbolts as missed interrupt opportunities
• Failed summaries are no longer cached - you can retry if generation fails
• Run summaries do not count against your AI question quota

• Better combatant info parsing for The War Within content

Coach Clutch Discord Bot

Add Coach Clutch to your Discord server and get automatic wipe analysis posted to your raid channel. After each wipe, your guild sees why you wiped without leaving Discord.

• /setup #channel - Configure which channel receives wipe analysis
• /link - Connect your WowCoach account to Discord
• /unlink - Disconnect your WowCoach account
• /status - Check your current configuration and linked accounts

How It Works

1. Add Coach Clutch to your server
2. Run /setup #raid-channel to configure notifications
3. Guild members run /link to connect their accounts
4. Start raiding with live analysis enabled
5. Coach Clutch automatically posts analysis after each wipe!

Rich Wipe Analysis Cards

Each notification includes:

• Primary cause of the wipe with chain of events
• Deaths timeline with killing abilities
• Strategy violations detected
• Actionable advice for next pull
• Links to full analysis on WowCoach.gg

Profile Discord Linking

You can also link your Discord account from your WowCoach profile page. This allows wipe analysis from any linked account in your guild to be posted to your configured channel.

Smarter Death Analysis

Coach Clutch now uses real game data for death analysis instead of guessing:

• Knows which killing abilities are interruptible - can say "kick this!" vs "use defensives"
• Shows spell school (Shadow, Fire, etc.) for damage mitigation advice
• Uses actual spell descriptions from the game for accurate mechanic info
• No more fabricated ability names or made-up mechanics from AI training data

Better Trash Death Reports

• Death reports now include the actual mob name that killed you
• Previously was showing generic "trash" without the specific enemy

Progression-Aware Coaching

• AI now understands when you're in a progression raid with lots of wipes
• Gives constructive, encouraging feedback instead of being harsh about deaths
• Recognizes the difference between farm night mistakes and prog night learning
• Shows focused boss order context (e.g., "8/8 Sikran" for final boss attempts)

AI Coaching Memory Across Sessions

The AI Coach now remembers insights from your previous coaching sessions. When you return for more coaching, the AI has context about:

• Issues it identified in past analyses
• Patterns it noticed across your pulls
• Recommendations it made previously

This allows the AI to track your progress over time and provide more personalized advice that builds on previous conversations.

Same-Report Detection

The AI now recognizes when you're re-analyzing the same combat log. Previously, analyzing the same report multiple times could make the AI think you hadn't improved - now it correctly identifies repeated analyses and responds appropriately.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed AI coaching reliability issues
• Improved background processing stability
• Various performance and stability improvements

Log Parsing Improvements

Fixed an issue where stopping and starting combat logging during a session could cause parsing to fail. Logs that previously showed "No valid runs found" should now parse correctly.

Battle.net Token Auto-Refresh

Character sync now automatically refreshes expired Battle.net tokens. Previously, users had to log out and back in after ~24 hours - now it just works.

AI Coach Improvements

• Fixed Runic Power and Astral Power showing 1000 instead of 100 in resource timelines and AI analysis
• AI now uses accurate spell range data instead of guessing (e.g., Shield of the Righteous correctly shows 5 yard range)

Boss Phase Tracking

A completely new phase tracking system now shows boss fight phases across the entire app:

• Phase boundaries displayed on DPS, healing, and health timelines
• Phase navigator lets you jump to any phase in a fight
• Phase metrics table shows your DPS/HPS breakdown by phase
• Intermissions are highlighted separately from combat phases
• Fight replay now shows phase transitions as they happen

Progression Dashboard Upgrades

The raid progression view now helps you understand exactly where your pulls are breaking down:

• "Last Phase Reached" tracking shows how deep you got on each pull
• Phase survival analysis across all attempts - see which phases are killing you
• New progression hero card with at-a-glance attempt counts and best phase

Pull Comparison

New pull comparison modal lets you compare any two attempts side-by-side. See differences in death counts, boss HP progress, and who died when. Great for understanding what made your kill pull different from the wipes.

Compressed Log Uploads

You can now upload gzip-compressed combat logs directly. Large logs upload significantly faster with compression, and the server handles decompression automatically.

Other Improvements

• Better phase event filtering in the events viewer
• Improved wipe analysis with phase context
• More accurate resurrection and combat rez tracking
• Performance improvements for large logs

Auto-Analysis Preview
